Wild camping in suffolk
Hidden in the woods
Summer at lions row wild camping in suffolk.

  • Peaceful, family-friendly and spacious wild camping on a Suffolk farm
  • Sutton Hoo 10 minutes’ drive and The Suffolk Punch Trust 20 minutes
  • Off-grid site on a working farm; pets welcome; woodland walks nearby
When it’s a ‘proper’ Suffolk wild-camping adventure you’re after, have a look at Lions Row, a spacious back‑to‑basics site on a working farm just outside Ufford. It’s completely surrounded by countryside, but only a handy five minutes’ drive from the pubs, takeaways and shops in Wickham Market. You'll park at the edge of a three-acre meadow and walk around 50–250 yards to the pitches, which are mown into the long grass. It’s a clever spot for families as it’s a mile from the nearest road, making it quiet and safe for kids to roam freely without any danger from traffic. As this is wild camping, facilities are minimal: drinking water, a simple washing-up sink, compost loos and basic gas-heated outdoor showers are your lot. However, you’ll wake up to birdsong every morning and go to sleep by starlight on clear nights; just remember to bring torches and batteries for after-dark wanderings. The views are peaceful and rural, and the field is bordered by deciduous woodland – great for exercising any four-legged pals – criss-crossed with footpaths leading to country pubs (there are four within half an hour’s walk). It’s also close to heritage attractions such as Sutton Hoo (10 minutes’ drive).

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The field. The atmosphere. The location.

Disliked The 'facilities' are a bit rough and ready, but basically ok.
Washing up sink needs to be a bit 'smarter'.
Water supply/heating needs sorting out.
Lack of shaded plots. I would find it hard to be there in extremely hot weather.

Woodland primitive forest floor campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely location with a spacious pitch in the woods - the access track was fine as we traversed it carefully. The setting really encouraged us to sit back and relax, listening to the birds and looking out for the wildlife. The facilities were exactly as described and I enjoyed looking up at the sky as I showered. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Woodland primitive forest floor campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Such a friendly welcome from Charlie to a magical campsite. We stayed in the woodland pitches which were so lovely and shady. The woodland trail was perfect and we enjoyed taking our coffee round to sit on one of the benches and take in the countryside views.

The composting toilets and showers were more basic than some other campsites, but we knew that before booking and in actual fact the toilets were much better than I imagined and the showers were lovely and warm.

It was such a beautiful restful stop and everything made for a perfect stay.

I can't wait to go back.

Local attractions

Start your Suffolk wanderings with a potter around the historic market town of Woodbridge (15 minutes’ drive), where you can stroll along the River Deben and tour the tide mill (one of two left working in the country). For further immersion in English culture, visit the burial site at National Trust - Sutton Hoo (15 minutes) to see the Anglo-Saxon treasure trove and ship excavated in the 1990s. Continuing with the heritage theme, Orford Castle (25 minutes) is a monumental 12th-century edifice built by King Henry II; it is open for exploration of the keep, chapel and towers. Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) might also be on your sightseeing schedule for its rampart walks and 19th-century workhouse museum. If the kids get restless, ditch the history lessons and head for the shingle Aldeburgh beach (half an hour), or have a stroll around the salt marshes and heathland of Deben Peninsula National Landscape (15 minutes). You can also go kayaking and paddleboarding on the Deben (10 minutes), meet rare horses at The Suffolk Punch Trust (20 minutes) and have a day communing with sheep, goats and alpacas at Easton Farm Park (15 minutes).
