Powered grass campsite

Liked: EVERYTHING! Sharon and her team were lovely, responsive and accommodating. Lovely pitch, level ground. Easy to find. Amazing views! We had such good weather that we opened the van backdoor, watched the horses and the sunset. It was so quiet and peaceful, it felt like getting away from the world. The facilities were very clean, which is especially impressive when it's a working Equestrian centre. The facilities were NOT far from the pitch. I don't understand other reviews saying that they are, when it's a short walk away. I've definitely stayed at pitches where the toilets are much further! Wifi at the pitch was good. Something unique to offer, as there is a router by the campsite. All the horses looked very well looked after and were sweet, they enticed me into a riding lesson. I had a 1-1 with Sharon and learnt a great deal. Very knowledgeable and a kind teacher. I would definitely visit again, both for camping and a riding lesson.

Disliked: Not being able to stay longer (personal life commitments)!

Liked: The rural site was surrounded by fields occupied by horses - it was idyllic. The staff were friendly and helpful. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities were very clean. It was peaceful, relaxing and perfect. The wifi was handy too.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: the peaceful surroundings, watching the horses and ponies grazing, listening to the birds. Access into the site was fairly easy, we were guided onto site after booking in. My daughter is very keen on learning to ride so I booked her a lesson during our stay. There are a couple of nice country road walks and the views are beautiful. Soft grass pitch, toilets were clean as were the 2 shower facilities, washing machine and dryer in one of the shower rooms and a sink for washing up.

Local attractions

Bardwell’s a good place to set out for a stroll or a cycle ride in the Stanton Rides, which has three circular trails running through the splendid Suffolk scenery (totalling 28 miles if you do the lot). For dog walks, head to nearby Knettishall Heath. If you’ve still got leg power left, there are more walks to be had in Thetford Forest Park (20 minutes’ drive), as well as Go Ape. If not, perhaps it’s time for a gentler day out at Bressingham (25 minutes), where you can hitch a ride on the steam railway, take a slow-paced gallop on traditional fairground rides and explore Walmington-on-Sea memorabilia at the official Dad’s Army Appreciation Society collection. Leave the country views behind for a bit and head over to Bury St Edmunds (15 minutes) for a day of bimbling around the historic town, taking in the cathedral and abbey gardens, or meandering around the market (if you’re in town on a Wednesday or Saturday). It could well be thirsty work, so perhaps it’d also be wise to plan a stop at the Greene King brewery for a tour or a pint at the beer café.
