  • Peaceful two-acre field a 10-minute walk from Stanton village, Suffolk
  • Bury St Edmunds 20 minutes’ drive; Lowestoft beach one hour
  • Dogs welcome; excellent stargazing; a five-minute drive from a winery
Bromptons Farm, on the edge of the village of Stanton (a 10-minute walk), is a top spot for a peaceful Suffolk holiday. Staying here puts you within easy driving distance of historic towns like Bury St Edmunds (20 minutes’ drive) and Stowmarket (25 minutes), as well as woodland trails like those found in Thetford Forest (25 minutes). The region’s coast is a little farther, with beaches such as Aldeburgh (pebbly) and Lowestoft (sandy) about one hour’s drive away. The site has a two-acre meadow where you can set up freely – there’s no being slave to marked bays here. There’s heaps of room for the kids to run around, and the family dog will almost certainly wag its tail in excitement at the prospect of sniffing every little corner of this great big field. A toilet/shower block, charging facilities and recycling points sweeten the experience further. Hiking (and wildlife-viewing) highlights in the vicinity include the Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve (15 minutes), with grazing wild ponies; and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust - East Wretham Heath Nature Reserve (25 minutes), where you might spot wading birds around the lakes, plus stoats and roe deer. If you need to stock up on grillables, Stanton has a couple of convenience stores, as well as a fish and chips shop for those who don’t fancy tending to hot coals all evening. You can also check out the restaurant at Wyken Vineyards or hit the pubs in Bardwell (both five minutes). After dinner, stretch out on the grass and take in the spectacle of the night sky – with such low light pollution here, stargazing is on a different level.

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Brendan and Ellie were fantastic hosts. A really nice site. Brendan honestly couldn't do enough to help us, even giving us a jumpstart when our battery went flat. Enjoyed a lovely coffee and a chat after! A really friendly site with a nice village a 5 minute walk away, and plenty of nature to explore. Really well priced and look forward to our next visit!!

Disliked Nothing at all.

Ben M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Bromptons Farm is a new site that opened this spring with a large, 2 acre field and no fixed pitches. Farmland surrounds the field and the village of Stanton is a short walk away.
On arrival I was greeted by the very friendly and helpful hosts who live on site with their kids and they kept in touch over my stay to ensure everything was going well.
The toilet and shower area is very new and immaculately clean, and the hosts are working hard to add another shower very soon.
Over my stay I especially enjoyed the peace and quiet of this location, the glorious sunsets and the chilled out vibe that the site provides.
Thank you guys and I look forward to my next visit!

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked Very pretty campsite with lovely views, lots of wildlife and super friendly hosts!
Lots of nice walks near by and short walk to pubs and shops!
Warm showers and clean toilets
The free wifi was a bonus

Disliked For the first few days the toilets and showers were really clean, however after the weekend the cleanliness standards dropped- there was a nit comb in the shower drain for 3 days & floor in the shower cubicle had gotten quite mucky.
Also wouldn’t consider the site massively ‘dog friendly’ as one of the seasonal caravan residents dog escaped and tried to attack someone’s dog- an unfortunate accident but unfortunately affects how dog friendly I would consider the site to be and how safe we felt our dog was there

Meadow primitive grass campsite

Liked A lovely clean, quiet and family friendly site. Safe enough to give the children aged 7 to 12 the freedom to roam a and enjoy just being kids. Toilets and showers kept spotlessly clean. There was always warm water for washing up etc

Disliked If you park at the top of the field like we did you need to be aware of the prevailing wind

Local attractions

The steam-engine age is alive and well at Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens (20 minutes), where you might take a ride on a narrow-gauge railway and climb aboard vintage engines. The ‘Dad’s Army’ displays ought to appeal to nostalgic TV buffs, while green-fingered visitors should check out the Japanese garden and ornamental ponds in the 17-acre gardens. An English Heritage property, the 12th-century Thetford Priory (20 minutes) was closed by order of Henry VIII in 1540. Its ruins now spread over a large area just north of the River Ouse. Thetford also has the Dad’s Army Museum and the Thetford Castle Mound, said to be Britain’s tallest medieval earthwork. Norfolk airfields witnessed plenty of action during World War II. Military museums in the area include the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum (25 minutes), housed in a former control tower; and the Red Feather Club 95th Bomb Group Museum (half an hour), which tells the story of a US Air Force team.
