Fancy some secluded downtime exploring rural coastal Suffolk? The tree-shaded pitches at Hill Farm are in a peaceful setting near the market towns of Saxmundham and Halesworth, and handily accessible from the A12, as well as to the coast and pretty villages, historical hamlets, and popular seaside towns, such as Southwold and Aldeburgh.
This is a site that welcomes families and groups of friends, and it's dog-friendly too (there’s a 4-acre woodland to the north of the site that's great for dog walking). The site has good TV reception for relaxing indoors on damp or chilly days.
The popular village of Westleton (10 minutes’ drive) has a village store, a farm shop, a garage and 2 pubs; and if you fancy a change from cooking, there is also a nice pub and a tearoom, in the Darsham village area (only 5 minutes drive or a 30 minute walk away through some lovely fields).
Back on site, there are a toilet cabins with hot running water, plus other facilities including 4 showers, a portaloo, and a washing machine, grey waste and chemical toilet disposal and recycling points. Wi-fi is nearly all over the site too.
The shared facilities at the top of the site also has a fridge and a washing up area, with a warm water tap, a nearby kettle and a plug socket for charging mobiles. Picnic tables, PIR lighting and Starlink wifi is also provided.
Please not that dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, and yes campfires are allowed, as long as the fire pit is raised off the ground and the fire is supervised at all times, with a bucket of water at hand too. Thank you for booking!

2 nights at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping
We stayed at Nancy's (70s’ caravan). The interior was the cosiest I could ever ask for. Minimalist but essential amenities made our stay enjoyable.
The camping site offers good views, especially for watching a splendid sunset if the weather is right. Campsite facilities are well-maintained and spotless.
Its location is very close to Evesham, making it easy to find shops, pubs, and access roads to other nearby destinations.
Don't miss paying Shakespeare a visit if you haven't done so yet 😉

Me and my partner came here for a much needed city break by tent and it was honestly amazing! The shower and toilet are seperate facilities and both clean, there is a kitchen too with a gas stove for cooking! The site is near anywhere you'd like to drive or even walk to around the peak district, and in the actual site itself you can see all the altitude and beauty around you. The air is incredibly fresh, and the owners of the campsite are really sweet and helpful. Will definitely come back for our next trip to the peak district this summer, thank you for having us :)

Where to go
Around Peterborough
Right on the River Nene and home to several lakes, Peterborough is a destination for water lovers and anglers. Sailing, windsurfing, and open water swimming are popular activities at Nene Country Park, which also houses a campsite and caravan park. Other family-friendly options include working farms, such as Sacrewell, while glampers can choose from a range of exclusive lodges and tent sites.
The Fens
Traditional Fenland towns Whittlesey, March, Chatteris, and Wisbech are within easy reach of Peterborough, each offering unique rambling and riding opportunities. The Greenwich Meridian Trail, Fen Rivers Way, and Hereward Way all pass through the area, while adult-only campsites, touring parks, and luxury lodges offer accommodation options for all manner of Hipcampers—including fish farms and lakeside sites for keen anglers.
Thetford Forest & The Brecks
East of Cambridgeshire on the Suffolk-Norfolk border, this lowland forest is best known for its balmy microclimate and rich variety of flora and fauna. The region’s long distance trails, such as the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path Trail, are lined by rural campsites, while outdoor attractions such as Brandon Country Park and Knettishall Heath offer relaxed rambles and wildlife watching.
The Wash & Norfolk Coast AONB
Get a glimpse of England’s dramatic and varied coastline just 90 minutes northeast of Peterborough. Made up of salt marshes and mud flats, the Wash estuary is a haven for birdwatching, while sprawling beaches and small villages along the Norfolk coastline reveal a far more traditional seaside view. Coastal camping options include back-to-basics sites, glamping pods, and family-friendly holiday parks.
When to go
Camping in the east of England is most popular during the summer, though adventurers that brave the short days and cold climes of autumn and winter are rewarded with golden-hued views and far quieter campsites, though be aware that many close for the off season.
Know before you go
- If you need camping gear, check to see if your campsite hires out. If not, Peterborough has several camping shops, including a GO Outdoors, Mountain Warehouse, and Millets.
- Sports and activity gear is generally hirable on site.
- Peterborough is reasonably well connected, with the direct train from London taking just under an hour.
- If you plan to travel to more remote spots, it’s worth hiring or driving your own vehicle.
- Anglers will need a rod license, which can be purchased from the Environment Agency.
