  • Family-friendly farm site half an hour’s drive from Bury St Edmunds
  • RAF Lakenheath 15 minutes’ drive, and Ely Cathedral 25 minutes
  • Camping supplies shop on site; riverside pub 15 minutes’ walk
A brand-new site for 2025, New Park Farm offers a quiet location to pitch within the rural village of West Row in Suffolk. The camping field looks out over arable fields and the village’s allotments, and is a great spot for aircraft enthusiasts who don’t want to be right under the flight path, but close enough to enjoy the comings and goings of planes from RAF Lakenheath (15 minutes’ drive). There’s plenty of space on the neatly mown field, so you can spread out if you’re after more privacy, or huddle together if you’re camping with friends and family. Amenities include mains electricity and a water tap at each post, shower and toilet facilities and an Elsan point. A well-stocked caravan and camping accessory shop opens most mornings, so you can stock up on supplies and essentials. New Park Farm backs onto the River Lark, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the pitches. Fishing is available (with the correct permit), and you can all try canoeing and kayaking out on the water, or simply have a stroll down the river to the local pub (15 minutes’ walk), which serves good food. The site is also close to Newmarket (20 minutes), the birthplace of British flat racing, as well as lots of activity parks for the kids.

What customers say

New Park Farm: a peaceful, rural spot with a great reputation for its welcoming owners. Clean facilities, handy laundry. Flat pitches with power/water. Perfect for plane spotting and a nearby pub. A few reported noise and rule-breakers; some cleanliness concerns were raised. Manager is sorting bin issues & apologises for disruptions.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked Easy walk to local friendly pub, water points near pitches

Disliked No sign at entrance, so everyone drives past
Local Motocross track nearby, very noisy first thing in the morning till late at night
Site owner not seen all weekend, so large family group kicking football, and riding bikes between pitches
Someone playing a tongue drum at 7:30 am in the tents
Site very untidy

From the manager: We are in the process of installing new signage to the farm, in fact the builder only finished the brickwork this week , so the new sign will be bigger to see, there is still a small sign in place so you must have missed this on arrival.
As I explained in my arrival message I was on a course this weekend however when I arrived at site saturday evening at 7pm all was quiet and upon speaking to others campers they were happy with everything on site.
I feel maybe you should seek Adult only sites.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked This is a super site. Great contact from Harmeione, who is the loveliest lady and really helpful and friendly. Very clean, well maintained and has plenty of space for our big tent. The showers and toilets are exceptionally clean. The showers are the best showers we have ever used on a campsite. They are hot and work really well with great pressure. There is a washing machine and tumble drier on site and a washing up area. The site is in a beautiful setting with loads of walks around the area. A working farm, so some tractor noise but nothing unbearable. If you are into Aircraft, this is the place to be. There is nothing better than being woke up in the morning by 2 jets flying over your tent. It's absolutely amazing. We have had a fantastic week and would definitely go back there again. Highly recommend for that quaint and quiet retreat.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Bell tent

Liked Me and my partner spent a night at New Park Farm and had the most special time. Hermione kindly provided firewood, marshmallows and skewers for our evening and made sure that we were as comfortable as possible throughout our stay. Lovely river which is about a five minute walk away. Shower and toilet facilities kept very clean. Pub with lovely riverside benches just a 10 minute walk down a pedestrian path. Honestly could not recommend this place enough! Will definitely be coming back.

Liked This is a pleasant and well managed site. The facilities are clean and tidy.

Disliked There is noise at night from RAF Mildenhall. There are only 2 toilets and these sited in rooms with showers. This resulted in a queue when the showers were in use. There is no wifi.
