What customers say

A quiet, adult-only campground with spacious sites and good value. Guests enjoy the peaceful location and bonus use of facilities at the neighboring park. While the setting is praised, some found the facilities dated. Check-in can sometimes be disorganized.

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked Adults only, so nice and peaceful.
It had everything we needed.

Disliked Chaos on arrival, with people being shunted around because a season ticket holder was in an allocated space, and people moved into spaces allocated for that day, so several people arrived to find their stated space full.

Liked The pitch we was given in the end was what I would of expected for the size tent we had

Disliked When we turned up the pitch number was already taken by another tent .The electric socket was broken and the the pitch would not of been big enough.I went back to the main site where I was told to go to a caravan pitch this was also being used I went back to main site and manager came over and put us on a empty caravan pitch was not a good start to break.And some other people seemed to have same problem with caravan pitches it was not very organised seemingly on Lonely Farm

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

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

Liked Peaceful, easy access, close to toilets and showers.

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..

Local attractions

For days at the beach, take to the coast at Aldeburgh (20 minutes’ drive) and treat yourself to fish and chips, or head to cute little Southwold (25 minutes) for retro amusements at the Under the Pier Show on the pier. From there, hop on the ferry across the River Blyth to Walberswick (25 minutes) for a drink in the pub or to spot wading birds among its heathlands and marshes. Other day trips that should bring a smile to your faces include all the animal encounters at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park (40 minutes), Banham Zoological Gardens (an hour) for its penguins and sea lions, or the truck safaris across the savannah at Africa Alive Zoological Reserve (half an hour). Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park (45 minutes) is another good bet, with water rides and rollercoasters galore. Mix things up a bit by introducing some history into your lives: at Framlingham Castle (15 minutes) you can walk the defence walls, and at Orford Castle (25 minutes) there are displays of local Roman finds and audio tours of the castle’s tangle of passageways.
