  • Wild camping on a laidback Suffolk farm
  • A quarter of an hour's drive from Southwold or RSPB Minsmere
  • Local produce sold on site; a mile from a pub and butcher's shop
Beetlebank Farm Wild Camping is a laidback and rural pitching spot surrounded by spectacular Suffolk farmland. Set just back from the A144 and a mile from the village of Bramfield – home to a butcher's and a pub – this site is has excellent views across the countryside and is about a quarter of an hour's drive from England's east coast. The farm is a small, regenerative working farm with rare-breed sheep, goats, chickens and other livestock. There is also a small market garden and flower farm where you can buy freshly-laid eggs and farm-harvested veggies. This is a place where you can leave mod cons at home and reconnect with nature in the fresh air. The farm is surrounded by mature oak trees, bird-filled hedgerows and other rural sounds like the far-off bleating of sheep, making it a great backdrop for simple and serene breaks. Beetlebank Farm Wild Camping has well-maintained composting toilets, but there is no electricity or showers on site. There's also no drinking water tap, so make sure to bring your own or purchase water bottles from the site.

What customers say

Peaceful, roomy wild camp spot with clean loos. Geoff's a top bloke, the rural setting's ace for star-gazing, and there's a cool swingy oak. Farm goodies available. Some road noise/path limits, but brilliant value for a chill break. New compost loo's a bonus.

Liked Beautiful location and I was the only one there so it was quiet on the people side of things. Composting toilet is a great idea.

Disliked Lots of road noise and some train noise. Not too bad during the day but noticeable at night. I ended up wearing earplugs which I feel is a safety issue when camping as a lone female. If I wasn’t alone I wouldn’t have an issue with the noise or wearing earplugs to sleep. I only wore them this time because there was no one else around and I was quite confident that nobody knew I was there except the person that took my booking. The toilet, bins and water situation could have done with some tidying up. The hand washing tap ran from a container that was a bit green (I topped it up with my unused water when I left) there was a water fountain type thing that looked like it either needed cleaning or removing and the bins were quite full.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked Great space, lots of wildlife, decent eco toilet. Other campers were low key and respectful. Cool tyre swing on beautiful oak in the centre. Can buy some produce bits on site, lots of stuff to do close by. Dog friendly space and mine loved it. Beautiful dark sky area, some star gazing and stunning moon light! Host is a lovely human being too. Totally recommend.

Liked We've been coming camping here the last few years and plan on returning every year in the future! Kids have great fun running round and playing in the swing, there a huge wooded area to walk round only a 5 minute walk, in the evening you can relax around a camp fire (which comes in great for cooking when you forget a camping stove) 🤦‍♀️
