The gypsy caravan, in the old orchard under the damson and pear trees

The shepherd huts under the orchard blossom

The toilet facilities - new for 2022, just finishing decorating

Pop-up site in rural Suffolk near Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds
A 30-minute drive from Thetford Forest Park and Ipswich river cruises
Stay in an old orchard with playground and communal firepit on site

Want to be in deepest countryside but close enough to a town for a spot of shopping or a night in the pub? Check out the offerings at Whitehouse Farm, set in six acres of glorious rural Suffolk, well away from roads and traffic noise and yet only 20 minutes’ drive from the pubs and indie shops of Bury St Edmunds. This is also a super spot for kids, as there is a playground with climbing equipment on site and some fab family walks directly from the farm – you can bring the pooches too but they need to be kept on leads please. The pitches are located in the meadow, just beyond where the shepherd huts sit in the old orchard among damson, apple, pear and greengage trees. Shared facilities include loos, showers, a water tap, a washing-up area and a laundry room. Barbecues are available if you feel inspired to cook, and there's a communal firepit too for sociable evenings. You can pick up supplies in Stowmarket (15 minutes’ drive) – and if you don't fancy cooking, well… those Bury St Edmunds pubs await. For chilly evenings, a sauna is also available (chat to site staff for more details).

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Easily accessible, well-spaced tent pitches within glorious countryside. Lovely wildlife - birds and birdsong aplenty! Logs for sale on site for campfires, bbqs, toasted marshmallows and smores as well as 2x play areas and lovely walking trail around perimeter of site. We enjoyed picking poseys in the meadow - beautiful wildflowers everywhere. Children (6 and 9) had fun trying to catch water skaters and tadpoles in the pond. Clean loos and showers with hot water - all that you could ask for!

Really close (15/20 mins) to Bury St Edmond’s, with its Abbey gardens and market, shops, cafes and restaurants.

Incredibly friendly owner made us feel very welcome.

Disliked: Train noise at night on the Friday (must be near a goods train line or something?) woke us in the middle of the night with loud noises. No noise at all on the Saturday night.

Would be nice if the pond had less algae in to make way for a swim: was a bit too natural for us! Though the kids did love pond dipping and was glorious to sit beside it watching the dragonflies and ducks in the sun.

The local pub was closed - nothing to do with the site - but would have been 10/10 if there was a local spot to go for a cuppa or a drink.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Everything was great. A friendly host and great site. An absolute gem that we’ll keep bookmarked for any future adventures in the are.

A well thought out site but not regimented. Perfect for us. We really liked the choices of accommodations, ideal for when we’re camping with friend/family.

Anoushka B. May 2025

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Rob was friendly and welcoming and helpful and supportive when we needed help with one or two things. The kids (2,3,5,6) loved the playground, running through the meadow, the walks and bats they saw at night. The atmosphere was nice. It felt more personal and friendly than the large campsites. Bathrooms were clean and available when we needed them. We visited Felixstowe beach one day and Thetford Forest another.

Isolde M. May 2025

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely spot, very peaceful, brilliant shower and toilet facilities, not too big at all, pitches were level. Really pleasant place.

Disliked: We couldn't get the sauna to work- it looked lovely! But we didn't ask the owner as we didn't meet him (we tried to self check in but no response) so possibly he could have fixed it (and we were a last minute booking). Also double check food options nearby as the Maypole is closed, and other some pubs no longer serving food.

Local attractions

The pretty town of Bury St Edmunds (20 minutes’ drive) holds a local market every Wednesday and Saturday, where you can pick up foodie bits and pieces. It also has indie shopping, a spectacular cathedral, brewery tours and popular restaurants for a respite from all the sightseeing. Alton Water (40 minutes) is a top spot for canoeing and sailing, and any rainy days are covered by the swimming pool in the leisure centre at Stowmarket (15 minutes). A day trip to the Norfolk Broads (45 minutes) to hire a day-cruiser boat is also a firm family favourite, or you might like to have a go at punting along The Backs in Cambridge (an hour) – if that’s too much like hard work, take a look at the city’s historic colleges instead. When the kids need a runaround, hire bikes for off-roading at Thetford Forest Park (half an hour) or let them try out the treetop rope courses at Go Ape Thetford (45 minutes). If only a beach day will do, Aldeburgh (an hour) has a sand and shingle stretch that's safe for swimming, and a popular fish and chip shop for after you’ve had a dip.
