  • Family-friendly farm site half an hour’s drive from Bury St Edmunds
  • RAF Lakenheath 15 minutes’ drive, and Ely Cathedral 25 minutes
  • Camping shop and fishing on site; riverside pub 15 minutes’ walk
Set within the rural village of West Row in Suffolk, the New Park Farm pitches look out over arable fields and the village’s allotments. It’s 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 staying with friends and family. You can also kickback on the daybed, and huddle up around the firepit for warmth on chillier evenings. Practical amenities include mains electricity and a water tap at each pitch, showers, basic baby-changing facilities, a simple washing-up sink and a laundry room. The well-stocked caravan and camping accessory shop opens most mornings, so you can get in supplies too. 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 give paddleboarding and kayaking a go 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 is a small, quiet, rural campsite praised for its friendly and helpful owners. Guests appreciate the clean shower and toilet facilities, some noting the convenience of on-site washing machines and dryers. The site offers flat pitches with electric and water, and its location is ideal for plane spotting and walking to a nearby riverside pub. Some guests experienced issues with noise and other visitors not adhering to site rules, and a few noted cleanliness concerns. The manager has addressed issues such as bin capacity and apologized for disruptions caused by other guests or when absent.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Shower and toilet facilities lovely and clean (and warm)

Nice quiet location

Disliked took me a while to find the tap for my pitch, but l eventually worked it out

Not too keen on having to unlock and lock the gate by means of a combination lock each time l drove in or out of the site. Even trickier in the dark.

Loved it here, will definitely be visiting again!

Robert B.

Powered grass and earth campsite

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

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.

Lovely peaceful and clean site

Local attractions

Fans of planes vintage or modern, you’ll be in your element at New Park Farm. RAF Lakenheath (15 minutes’ drive) is open for you to inspect historic military craft, and you’ll often see 21st-century fighter planes taking off from there on the skyline. You can also watch the manoeuvres at RAF Mildenhall Visitors’ Centre (10 minutes), where US Air Force planes occasionally land too. Your kids will never have a dull moment. They can go karting at Red Lodge (15 minutes), practise their off-road moves at Phoenix Bike Park (20 minutes) and zoom around quad bike trails at WildTracks Outdoor Activity Park (15 minutes). If they’d rather spectate than compete, there’s drag racing at Mildenhall Stadium (10 minutes) too. Keen to do some cultural sightseeing? There’s the Gothic-era cathedral and half-timbered Oliver Cromwell’s House visitor centre at Ely (25 minutes), while historic Bury St Edmunds (half an hour) offers up 11th-century St Edmundsbury Abbey, surrounded by peaceful leafy gardens – and for a change of pace you can tour the well-known Greene King Brewery too.
