What customers say
This peaceful campsite offers a spacious, level field with ample room between sites and lovely rural views. Facilities, including restrooms and showers, are consistently praised for cleanliness and hot water. Hosts are exceptionally friendly and helpful (a baby donkey is a highlight!). While some noted potential waits at the single restroom/shower facilities during busy times and a lack of a dishwashing area, the overall experience is tranquil and well-kept, with many keen to return.

Great Site - Beautiful Location
Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great campsite surrounded by beautiful countryside. Spent 2 nights here over the bank holiday and loved it, the field was spacious and there were some nice spots along the perimeter which were shaded by mature trees. The hosts were absolutely fantastic and great to talk with and the atmosphere on site was easy and friendly. The facilities were basic toilet, shower and washing up sink but were clean and provided all you need whilst camping. Enjoyed the local area with wild swimming at Friars Meadow, a mooch around Sudbury and some lovely walks straight from campsite.
