Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Loved the open space and lovely views. Feels like wild camping, great host who made us feel welcome. No toilets or showers but that was absolutely fine for us. Water available a short walk from where we were pitched. Absolutely loved it. We will definitely camp again if we are in the area.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: This is such a remote location! Absolutely fantastic, you would expect as it is so close to Bury St Edmunds that you wouldn't get this feeling of seclusion. If you want to really get away, no phone signal, just to be by yourself....this is the place

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Decided to go for a spontaneous camping trip on my motorcycle. No one seemed to be there or answering the phone, but everything was open and it was about to start raining so I decided to find a spot and pitch up. No one came to bother me, it was very peaceful and I left early the next morning without seeing anyone again.

Liked: Absolutely no hesitation in this five star review, an excellent get away from it all wild camping experience. You genuinely feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, excellent host who is on hand to support but leaves you to it. Enjoyed so much that I already booked my next visit on the trip home!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Beautiful campsite. The pitch itself was next to a stream and isolated with no one in eyesight and very quiet. We managed to get a nice campfire going from firewood delivered to us by the farm. Like the description says, as close to wild camping as you can get.

Local attractions

There’s much to be said for just wandering out onto local lanes for a rural roam or bike ride, but if you’d prefer a proper woodland trail, consider hitting Long Melford Country Park or the Suffolk Wildlife Trust nature reserve. And if you’re the kind who requires a suitable reward to get you moving, it’ll take you around 45 minutes to walk to Giffords Hall vineyard for a tour and taster. Ickworth House and its surrounding estate, 20 minutes’ drive from the farm, is a fab place to spend a day out – there’s much to see as you wander around the gardens and the huge Italianate rotunda of the main house. Kentwell Hall and the lovely Spencers Garden are all within a 20-minute drive too. For town-based trotting, Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds and Long Melford are good places to potter around, and Cambridge is around a 45-minute drive away. Arty types should head to Sudbury, 20 minutes away, to visit Gainsborough’s House and board boat trips through the landscapes that inspired Constable.
