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!

Where to go

Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The scenic views in Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB are made up of rugged coastline, heathland, wooded cliffs, and river valleys make it a haven for birding, wildlife watching, and hiking on popular trails like Suffolk Coast Path. Take one of the Suffolk Foot Ferries out on the water, and then set up at a waterfront holiday park—they’re plentiful in the AONB. The touring parks and caravan campsites offer a variety of pitch styles, hookups for electricity and water, and creature comforts like laundry facilities and wifi. Or get the royal treatment at a wooden glamping pod rental that provides ensuite bathrooms, well-appointed kitchenettes, and TVs.

Thetford Forest

There aren’t many places that offer an open-air concert hall in the middle of the woods, yet Thetford Forest does just that. Beyond live music, the area is known for the Lynford Arboretum as well as excellent mountain biking and hiking trails that lead campers through outdoor sculptures and art installations. Although you can’t hunker down within the woods themselves, cabins are available in Thorpe Forest. Nearby towns like Brandon and Norfolk also deliver a variety of campsites for tents and caravans as well as heated yurts with private patios for any type of camper.

The Broads

Roughly an hour north or Dunwich is the centre of The Norfolk Broads, a freshwater network of rivers and lakes. Boating and fishing are big draws to this wetland countryside area—Hickling Broad, Filby Broad, and Rollesby Broad are all excellent options to reel in perch and pike. Before casting rods, discover nearby cabin rentals that offer furnished interiors with cosy beds and outdoor BBQs for grilling up the most recent catch. Holiday parks nestled into the coastline spoil campers with immediate beach access and convenient amenities like full hookups and dump stations for motorhomes.

When to go

Although rainfall is evenly scattered throughout the year, East Anglia is one of the dryer regions in England. June, July, and August are the most popular months for camping as the weather is warm and skies are usually sunny. Anglers should double-check the best season to catch certain fish species when camping in The Broads, and birdwatchers may want to research which months will bring the most sightings for migratory bird species in Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Thetford Forest often has festivals and shows year-round, and the walking trails are always enjoyable.
