  • Dog-friendly meadow with country views on a family-run working farm
  • A 15-minute drive from Sudbury market town; 35 minutes to Dedham Vale
  • Camping essentials shop on site; secure dog-walking field for a fee
Making plans to get away to the countryside? The country views are splendid at Clarks Farm Camping. The well-maintained six-acre grass meadow has views over the Suffolk countryside, as well as fresh running water, toilets and showers. Eggs for breakfast? The site is set on a family-run working farm, so the family can supply you with eggs from their chickens for an additional fee. There's also a shop selling camping essentials, so have a browse to see if they have any of the little things you may have forgotten to pack. For other meals, within a 10- to 15-minute drive of the farm, there are handfuls of pubs with good food menus in the local villages, including Long Melford, Wickham St Paul, Clare and Castle Hedingham. The market town of Sudbury is also a 15-minute drive away, with good food venues, theatre shows and boat trips running along the river Stour. If you don’t go anywhere without a furry pal, good news just in – Clarks Farm is dog-friendly. For an extra fee, there is a secure, private dog-walking field at the farm. There are good country walks along the footpaths in the local area.

What customers say

Peaceful farm escape with loads of space, level spots. Spotless loos/showers, friendly hosts, quiet nature. Minimal but neat facilities, new loos added, small shop. Can be queues for facilities & farm noise sometimes.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A peaceful spot in the middle of the Suffolk countryside, miles from anywhere. Plenty of footpaths around to explore. Clean toilets and showers, plentiful water supply and washing up sink. Lots of space to pitch. Friendly welcome from the owner.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really beautiful site, very friendly owners. Lots and lots of space and nice level pitches. Had a great time. Facilities are very clean. And there are nice hot showers.
Useful store with camping essentials as well.

Disliked The washing up area is uncovered and only has cold water. On a very busy weekend you may have to wait a bit to wash up or shower.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really clean site, friendly and welcoming owners, quiet and peaceful. Well kept field, close to great wild swimming site at friars meadow, close to shops if needed but feels remote and peaceful when on site. Good shade at the edge of the field at different times of day. Close to the road but incredibly quiet. Perfect site for a toddler to run as much as they like. Good open space for ball games/frisbee. Would recommend the zero2 bus museum and friars meadow wild swimming! Accidently clicked review WiFi - no WiFi but we loved this
