Valley Farm

Just setting up (added by michelle_s249490 07 May 2019)

Family friendly campsite situated within an equestrain enterprise
Nature / dog walks set in 80 acres.

Our campsite at Valley Farm is aimed towards small family groups, couples and individuals, who come to appreciate the horse riding, wildlife and dog walks. We are a scheduled Deben Valley site and have been awarded the runner up prize in the Tourism in Suffolk Awards. We operate a family friendly site, and ask visitors to keep noise to a minimum from 10.30pm. We are open all year, but from Mid July to the end of August we are only open to visitors on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. This is because during the week we run activity holidays for unaccompanied children. If you are interested in Children's Holidays please visit our website.
