What customers say
Peaceful adult-only site with spacious pitches. Great value, quiet location, and access to next door park's facilities. Facilities a bit dated, check-in sometimes disorganised.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

We shall miss this site
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Location
Disliked Poor quality toilets and showers, we have been told this site is closing October for good hence why the facilities have drastically gone downhill, it would appear the main Carlton Meres site will be bulldozing the buildings in readiness to expand their static caravans, such a shame as we were frequent users of Lonely Farm, think it’s got something to do with Sizewell C workers being accommodated

Good but for the cost needs updating.
Powered grass motorhome site
Liked Peaceful, easy access, close to toilets and showers.
Disliked Toilets acceptable but showers in need of update and water pressure in the one I used.
Cost via Pitchup was expensive in my opinion for outdated shower block.

Liked Great pitch. Only 5 pitches on the site. Very quiet.
However, it's going to close soon we were told . That's why everything is run down and old . The shower bock and toilets not very desirable but clean..

Liked Great little quit site, where else can you have a quiet adult only pitch with the use of great facilities on your doorstep. I know a lot of people rubbish the facilities, dated I know but more than adequate, all like they used to be before getting super posh with heated floor showers etc, traditional old style camp site. Staff not there when you arrive but pitch number on the notice board, when they came round later very helpful, the lady went and got our passes for us to use all the facilities as a bit of a walk, about 10 minute stroll, or you can drive. Fantastic dog walking on well kept countryside pathways, you could walk for miles in beautiful British countryside with all the wild life it offers, had a great stay. The motorhome hard standings were paved vehicle runway with nice grass either side, no horrible stones, also of great size, parked a car alongside and still loads of room, water close at hand so filled up the tank with a hose.

I’ve been to Lonely Farm many times as it suits my needs.

Liked Lovely old fashioned campsite, peaceful and back to nature. This is not a new campsite and has a charm of its own. Great dog walks and not to far to the nearest pub.
Disliked Just need cleaner facilities to bring up to modern standards but it would loose its charm.

A great site. In a great location off the beaten track.
Powered grass tent site
Liked Large pitches, perfectly flat with beautifully trimmed grass. Very relaxed atmosphere at this adult only site. No litter and no dog poop anywhere! We didn't see much of the staff, but the other campers were friendly and pointed us in the right direction. A perfect base from which to explore all Suffolk has to offer.
Disliked The hedges were a bit overgrown which made it difficult to access the electric hookup. The toilets and showers were a bit dated, but we quite liked the rustic farmyard charm. It is a shame this site will only be available to Park Holidays employees working in the adjacent Caravan Park next year.

Lovely peaceful campsite with good sized pitches, great pub nearby
Powered grass motorhome site
Liked Lovely pitch, quiet and peaceful
Very pretty walk into Saxmundam and the lovely Poachers Pocket pub in Kelsale village
And the fact the campsite is still adult only and dog friendly is always a winner!
Disliked Oh dear where to start…. Well we first started coming to this campsite 17 years ago when a lovely couple ran it
It was so clean and so well maintained but now it just seems to be used for a yard that supports the Carlton Meres holiday park, trucks, vans and buggies roaring in and out a good deal of the time and the toilets and showers filthy and totally forgotten, no one seemed to have cleaned them for weeks! some were even out of order for the 4 nights we were there!
So what we’re saying here is that we don’t feel that it was value for money at £35 - £42 a night ! The good addition was the fridge freezer and the microwave, toaster and kettle provided
