  • Peaceful site on a working farm 10 minutes' drive from Halesworth
  • A 10-minute drive to Dunwich beach; 15 minutes to Southwold
  • Spacious pitches with firepit provided and firewood for sale
Relaxed Suffolk stays on spacious pitches are what’s on offer at Brights Farm Camping, part of a traditional family-run working farm in a rural spot 10 minutes’ drive from Halesworth and the Suffolk coastline. Expect lots of quiet, nice sunsets, dark skies and miles of wildflower walks nearby. This is a working livestock grassland farm that spends most of its time producing silage and hay to feed the calves born in early spring – and fittingly you’ll likely spot a few cows around the place, along with a small flock of chickens. Those grasses are also popular with wildlife so have a look around to see what sort of butterflies and other beasties you can spot around the field (and you might also spot the three-carriage coastal train as it passes by twice an hour… give it a wave as it goes). Human guests are well catered for here too: pitches are generously sized, and each one is provided with a firepit (plus barbecue grill). Firewood can be bought on site, or you can bring your own charcoal along if you prefer. There are piped mains water points close to each pitch, and it’s a short stroll to the shared toilet and hot shower facilities. Halesworth’s the place to pick up foodie bits for your grill – particularly if you stop by on a Wednesday when the market’s running. Closer to home, there’s a village shop a mile away in Bramfield, along with a gastropub for those who don’t fancy doing the cooking. A top-notch bakery is a couple of minutes’ drive away too for breakfast goodies and picnic supplies.

What customers say

Quiet, natural eco-campsite, loved for its Suffolk coast setting and "back to nature" vibe. Clean compost toilets and showers are a hit. Shauna the host is brilliant. Some minor train noise and arrival sign issues noted.

Rob H.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Relaxed, slightly quirky vibe. Simple eco-style campsite but with some lovely touches, like the fire pits and fairy light-lit toilets and shower - the owner has put a lot of effort in to make this is just right if you want a peaceful and relaxing camping experience.
The shower may be a tin shack, but it’s full of charm and I had the nicest campsite shower I’ve ever experienced!
The owner was also really helpful when our car had a flat battery.

Disliked Nothing at all

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I booked really last-minute, and I’m so glad I did! I was the only guest, but it would still have been wonderfully peaceful if anyone else was staying too. The shower and composting toilet made from recycled materials were ingenious and I could even shower with a view of the sunset!

Liked Wonderful eco campsite. The toilet and wash facilities are quirky which we loved. Very peaceful and plenty of space. The Queenshead pub in the village is great and there’s a co-op 6 mins drive away for supplies.

Disliked Could do with signage as you’re passing through the farm to confirm you’re heading in the right direction.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked An absolutely beautiful place to stay! It was just what we needed! The attention to detail on the compost toilets and the shower were a definite highlight! Absolutely gorgeous with all the fairy lights at night. Every pitch comes with its own fire pit where you can cook up some delicious meals and you can buy the wood onsite for a very good price! The location is perfect if you want to pop to several gorgeous beaches! Warm and welcoming host! Highly recommended.
