Quiet rural campsite on the track of the old Mid-Suffolk Light Railway
In central Suffolk, half an hour's drive from Bury St Edmunds
Simple campsite in the grounds of a farm; half a mile from the A140

Take the little ones to stomp through the Suffolk countryside or find a peaceful plot for a catch-up with friends at Brockford Sidings Campsite, a quiet rural site on the trackbed of the old Mid-Suffolk Light Railway. Although no trains have passed this way since the 1950s, it's still possible to see what the line known affectionately as the 'Middy' was like if you walk five minutes over the road to well-preserved Brockford station, where there's a volunteer-run museum and part of the track is still open to visitors. This low-key campsite is set on a large arable farm in central Suffolk in a convenient location half a mile from the A140 and the small village of Wetheringsett. The larger town of Stowmarket and the A14 dual carriageway are a 15-minute drive away to the west, meaning almost all of East Anglia is within easy reach. This is a dog-friendly site that's very close to a good number of cosy country pubs. The nearest are about a mile away, but the site owners recommend bringing a bicycle for the full Suffolk pub crawl experience.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Great size pitches, good location, easy to get there.

Disliked: Toilets x2 showers x2 aren’t private and not really enough if the site is full. Also could do with having a family area to camp and separate quiet areas in the other field. £30 for a couple is expensive but cheap for a family maybe considered per person charge like abroad.

Railway Wagon camping pod (four person)

Liked: A fantastic campsite experience! It's great that the facilities were in good condition and that toilet/washroom beside our wagon is 10/10 for me coz i dont need to walk like 3km to just reach for the toilet..
Thats why i really like it its just 20steps away.
Having hot and cold showers and clean toilets can make a big difference when camping.
We're satisfied with our first time experience at the campsite.
Tony provided excellent customer service.
This is a place worth going back to!😘😘

Disliked: Not disliked really but the toilet lock needs to be fix, thats it..🙃🙂
Nothing else.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Well maintained site, clear instructions on arrival and clearly marked pitches.

Disliked: Unfortunately, there are not enough facilities for the number of people the site could potentially hold. These were not always clean, although the site can not be held responsible for dirty animals booking their site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely peaceful rural setting. Flat pitch. Reliable electricity. Hot adjustable showers. Dog walking area. Decent wifi. The owner had lots of helpful suggestions for places to visit.

2 minutes walk from Mid Suffolk Steam Railway with a bar and cafe open at weekends where we enjoyed Gyros and local real ale. There was a farm shop and cafe close by.

Spent 8 days there. Would happily have stayed longer. Highly recommend a visit.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Really liked this site, perfect for few chilled nights away, showers etc all clean and showers were lovely and hot. Went to the middy bar just across the road on the Friday eve which was definitely worth a visit. Perfect WiFi on the pitch which is a first for any campsite we have stayed at.

Disliked: Could do with a few more showers and toilets especially if the site was full as 2 isn't really enough for amount of people onside. Not much to do in area within walking distance.

Local attractions

After taking the kids to learn about old-fashioned travel at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum (five minutes' walk), take them off for animal encounters, agricultural insights and pony rides at Easton Farm Park (30 minutes' drive), or venture in the other direction towards Framlingham Castle (30 minutes) for family-friendly adventures on a medieval theme. If you liked that, then Henry II's unusual polygonal tower at Orford Castle (50 minutes) should be right up your street too. While here, make time to take in Orford village's pretty traditional cottages and welcoming pubs, or follow the sound of the waves and explore the wild wetlands of Orford Ness National Nature Reserve (50 minutes). More coastal capers await at spectacular spots such as Aldeburgh (55 minutes), Thorpeness (an hour) and Southwold (an hour), all of which are located within the gorgeous Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Birdlife abounds in this biodiversity haven – your hosts particularly recommend grabbing a pair of binoculars and heading to the well-camouflaged hides at RSPB Minsmere (an hour) and Walberswick (an hour).
