  • 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.

Meadow primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Had a great few days at Bromptons Farm. We could choose our pitch which had a great view. The toilets and shower were very clean. Will be back very soon

Disliked The only fault I could find is the area around the barn could do with a tidy up. But this is a very minor point and this did not spoil our enjoyment

Recommend to friends Visit again

Defo visit again but probably not on a bank holiday.

Meadow primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great facilities kept clean and owner is very kind and always makes his way round to introduce himself

Disliked There was some children onsite who we believed lived on site who lacked respect of boundaries and privacy at times when asked to leave during us having our lunch or entering our tent and trampling on toys

Recommend to friends Visit again

A relaxed, pitch where you like site. Will definitely visit again

Meadow primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I liked the whole feel of Bromptons Farm from the welcome email and the fact that you can pitch up where you like. The owner was very friendly and helpful and told us about places around the area to visit. The night sky is wonderful and clear and the sunsets are spectacular. They had an event on for the bank holiday with a bouncy castle and a bbq. We had occasion to use the WIFI and it was very good and free. The shower and toilet block were really clean and well stocked. I can't wait to visit again.

Disliked Nothing at all fantastic place.

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.
