  • Peaceful two-acre field a 10-minute walk from Stanton village, Suffolk
  • Bury St Edmunds 20 minutes’ drive; Lowestoft beach one hour
  • Dogs welcome; excellent stargazing; a five-minute drive from a winery
Bromptons Farm, on the edge of the village of Stanton (a 10-minute walk), is a top spot for a peaceful Suffolk holiday. Staying here puts you within easy driving distance of historic towns like Bury St Edmunds (20 minutes’ drive) and Stowmarket (25 minutes), as well as woodland trails like those found in Thetford Forest (25 minutes). The region’s coast is a little farther, with beaches such as Aldeburgh (pebbly) and Lowestoft (sandy) about one hour’s drive away. The site has a two-acre meadow where you can set up freely – there’s no being slave to marked bays here. There’s heaps of room for the kids to run around, and the family dog will almost certainly wag its tail in excitement at the prospect of sniffing every little corner of this great big field. A toilet/shower block, charging facilities and recycling points sweeten the experience further. Hiking (and wildlife-viewing) highlights in the vicinity include the Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve (15 minutes), with grazing wild ponies; and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust - East Wretham Heath Nature Reserve (25 minutes), where you might spot wading birds around the lakes, plus stoats and roe deer. If you need to stock up on grillables, Stanton has a couple of convenience stores, as well as a fish and chips shop for those who don’t fancy tending to hot coals all evening. You can also check out the restaurant at Wyken Vineyards or hit the pubs in Bardwell (both five minutes). After dinner, stretch out on the grass and take in the spectacle of the night sky – with such low light pollution here, stargazing is on a different level.

A developing campsite with peaceful surroundings and lovely views. Guests enjoy choosing their own spot, friendly hosts, and good value. Toilets/showers are being renovated but are clean. Close to village amenities. Some temporary ground/work issues noted.

Meadow primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Fantastic stay!. Even before arriving received a friendly welcome message from the owner Brendan. You can pitch up where you like. The views are great and the toilet / shower block is kept very clean. Was pitched towards the back of the field and still had a strong wifi signal. The campsite is located close to the village that has a pub and a shop. Will definitely visit again!

Disliked Nothing at all

Meadow primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Brendan the owner and host, a big smile, warm and welcoming. Plenty of space. Pitch where you want. Perfect for my needs. Site only 12 months open. For a work in progress all the right things already in place. Extremely clean, warm showers and toilets and nice touches (Andrex loo roll) .I camped over a weekend whilst visiting Duxford Air Museum (highly recommended!) A layed back hippy feel. Such a change from other sites. Peaceful. A gem.

Meadow primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Pitch up where you like. Loads of space in the field which was relatively flat. Good customer service. We arrived late and left early as it was purely a stop off so didn’t have chance to check out the area. Only one shower but very clean and nice and hot.

Disliked Lots of work underway across the site but don’t bother us at all.

Excellent site in a good location. Very spacious.

Liked Nice site with great choose your own pitch set up.

Toilets and showers were nice, be even better once all the work is finished.

The site is a work in progress but is already really nice with welcoming owners.

Very much looking forward to coming back.

Disliked The sign on the road is a bit small and hard to see. Otherwise nothing worth mentioning.

Local attractions

The steam-engine age is alive and well at Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens (20 minutes), where you might take a ride on a narrow-gauge railway and climb aboard vintage engines. The ‘Dad’s Army’ displays ought to appeal to nostalgic TV buffs, while green-fingered visitors should check out the Japanese garden and ornamental ponds in the 17-acre gardens. An English Heritage property, the 12th-century Thetford Priory (20 minutes) was closed by order of Henry VIII in 1540. Its ruins now spread over a large area just north of the River Ouse. Thetford also has the Dad’s Army Museum and the Thetford Castle Mound, said to be Britain’s tallest medieval earthwork. Norfolk airfields witnessed plenty of action during World War II. Military museums in the area include the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum (25 minutes), housed in a former control tower; and the Red Feather Club 95th Bomb Group Museum (half an hour), which tells the story of a US Air Force team.
