  • Dog-friendly meadow with country views on a family-run working farm
  • A 15-minute drive from Sudbury market town; 35 minutes to Dedham Vale
  • Eggs available to buy on site; secure dog-walking field for a fee
Making plans to get away to the countryside? The country views are splendid at Clarks Farm Camping. The well-maintained six-acre grass meadow has views over the Suffolk countryside, as well as fresh running water, toilets and showers. Eggs for breakfast? The site is set on a family-run working farm, so the family can supply you with eggs from their chickens for an additional fee. For other meals, within a 10- to 15-minute drive of the farm, there are handfuls of pubs with good food menus in the local villages, including Long Melford, Wickham St Paul, Clare and Castle Hedingham. The market town of Sudbury is also a 15-minute drive away, with good food venues, theatre shows and boat trips running along the river Stour. If you don’t go anywhere without a furry pal, good news just in – Clarks Farm is dog-friendly. For an extra fee, there is a secure, private dog-walking field at the farm. There are good country walks along the footpaths in the local area.

What customers say

This peaceful, spacious site in beautiful rural surroundings offers a tranquil escape. Reviewers loved the quiet atmosphere, ample room, and lovely views. Facilities, especially the hot showers, were clean and well-maintained. Friendly hosts and farm animals were a bonus. A suggestion for a washing-up area was noted, as were potential queues for the single toilet/shower during peak times.

Lyn M.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Quiet field with masses of room and level pitches. It was mowed, well kept and totally clean. There is room for hordes of people but very few actually stopped so we were so far away from anyone we never interacted. We actually camped next to the road as we loved the view. During our 1 week stay I think we saw less than 10 vehicles, so the road is no hindrance. Toilet and shower were immaculate and a pleasure to use. We had a friendly welcome from the family.

Disliked Nothing at all. Others have moaned that there is only 1 toilet for each sex but given we were virtually the only people on site, it was never an issue. Regardless, it would be worth the wait.
