  • Quiet adults-only caravan park in a Suffolk forest location
  • A 10-minute drive from Bury St Edmunds and an hour from the coast
  • Next door to forest, West Stow Country Park and Anglo-Saxon village
This peaceful adults-only site has direct access to acres of green space, including Kings Forest and West Stow Country Park. With walks along the river Lark also on offer close by, there's little wonder that Kings Forest Caravan Park is held in such high regard among caravanners, who appreciate the peace and quiet of the place and the dog-friendly site rules. Part of a working farm called Wideham Farm, Kings Forest Caravan Park has smart stable facilities for visiting horses. The adjacent forest and the surrounding Suffolk countryside make excellent turf for hacking across too. They’re just as good for walking and pedalling, and with direct access to the forest, woodland wanderings and wildlife encounters are close to hand; look out for fallow deer, wild foxgloves and kestrels swooping overhead. Plus, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust at Lackford Lakes is just a five-minute drive away for conservation fans. This is a prime position to relax in too: peace and quiet are highly prized out here, and the proprietors ask everyone to kindly keep it down after 10pm… the horses need their beauty sleep…

What customers say

A tranquil adults-only park with generous spots near the woods. Praised for spotless amenities, super-friendly staff, and direct forest walk access. Great for dogs, though phone signal can be iffy and horses might make a bit of noise.

Liked Very clean with staff on duty all day constantly cleaning and attending to customers- if you put something in the bin, ten minutes later the bin had been empty and a new liner put in!!

Excellent pot wash and seperate veg wash, plus the freezer for ice blocks.

Also very quiet, obvs I know this is dependent on the guests as much as the site, but I think the adults only vibe really worked.

Will definitely go back.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Absolutely wonderful site. Surrounded by forest. Clean & tidy. Well prepared. Showers good also for disabled or elderly ,has stools to sit on. Loved the horses there. Felt like we were in miles away from the world and yet just outside Bury St Edmunds.
Would most def stay again. Good pitch spaces too. Anglo Saxon & country park opposite,just walk across. Nice cafe there. And forest trails. If u want peace & quiet ,this is it. Adults only as well. Perfect 👌 🌟

Disliked Shower set on timer button. Bit annoying ,as I am disabled, & needed hubby to kp pushing it ,but understand economy.

Liked Absolutely loved this site. Tracy and her partner were really friendly and welcoming. We got to choose our pitch which was great. The showers were big, great water pressure & hot water. Both showers & toilets were exceptionally clean.
It is right next to the forest for lovely walks and West Stow country park is right opposite and is beautiful.
All in all we had a great stay at this quiet, peaceful site .

Local attractions

A walk away, West Stow Country Park is a top spot for Suffolk strolls and rides, with a pair of hides for birdwatching and whole platoons of wildlife gathering on the lake and along the River Lark. As an added bonus, there’s a reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village where you can see how life was way back in the Dark Ages. The ancient market town of Bury St Edmunds is 10 minutes’ drive away if you’re minded to continue the historical theme: medieval Moyse’s Hall is home to a fab museum, while Ickworth House, built in neoclassical style for the earls of Bristol, is a splendid country house. After that, head on to the half-timbered, brightly hued cottages of Lavenham, half an hour away. There’s wildlife aplenty around here too, and trails to spot it at Cavenham Heath National Nature Reserve (15 minutes): blue tits and woodpeckers are often seen in the woods, while on the heath, lizards, adders and stone curlews flit around the remains of World War II defences. More exotic residents can be met at Banham Zoo (40 minutes), from Bactrian camels to silvery marmosets and gelada baboons, and seals can sometimes be spotted from the cliffs and beach at Felixstowe, an hour away. Even without glimpses of its whiskered marine mammals, the seaside town makes a top day trip, with beach walks, harbour cruises and tours of 18th-century Landguard Fort finished off with fish and chips.
