If it’s a ‘proper’ Suffolk wild-camping adventure you’re after, have a look at Lions Row, a spacious back‑to‑basics site on a working farm just outside Ufford. It’s completely surrounded by countryside, but only a handy five minutes’ drive (or a 35 walk) from the pubs, takeaways and shops in Wickham Market.
You can park at the pitches, which are mown into the long grass. It’s a clever spot for families as it’s a mile from the nearest road, making it quiet and safe for kids to roam freely without any danger from traffic.
As this is wild camping, facilities are minimal: drinking water, a simple washing-up sink, compost loos and basic gas-heated outdoor showers are your lot. However, you’ll wake up to birdsong every morning and go to sleep by starlight on clear nights; just remember to bring torches and batteries for after-dark wanderings.
The views are peaceful and rural, and the field is bordered by deciduous woodland – great for exercising any four-legged pals – criss-crossed with footpaths leading to country pubs (there are four within half an hour’s walk). It’s also close to heritage attractions such as Sutton Hoo (10 minutes’ drive).
If you would like to book multiple pitches for a big group, do get in touch directly if easier.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Rosehip Wood Campsite is a nature rich, off-grid wild campsite set in a peaceful woodland. Camp in secluded clearings surrounded by trees and bushes and be sheltered from the wind or hot sun when necessary. You can spend your evenings staring into a crackling campfire as fire pits are provided and firewood can be purchased on site.
This site is completely enclosed by fences so kids can roam free-range-style, make dens using branches and explore the 'secret cedar hideaway'. There is a field with a football goal for recreational activities and adjoining footpaths for road free walks.
It is tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty Norfolk village of West Dereham. This beautiful rewilding project offers the unspoilt simplicity and tranquillity of wild camping within the grassy clearings of a quiet mixed woodland and balanced with just enough facilities to make camping fun and comfortable including fresh water and compost toilets.
All Rosehip Wood’s pitches are family friendly and allow BBQs and campfires.
Your hosts invite you to wander along mown paths, through grassy clearings and wildflowers. The woodland has been planted with lots of nuts and fruits for both wildlife and humans to enjoy. As the sun sets, unwind, and enjoy starlit skies unspoilt by light pollution against the distant calls and barks of local wildlife.
The site has no lighting so don’t forget your torch if you plan on an evening amble. Downham Market is around 4 ½ miles away offering supermarkets, a market, food and drink in the town’s historic pubs and a range of restaurants. It also has a train station from which your hosts will be happy to pick you up if you are coming camping without a car. If you need an extra tent this can be rented at an extra cost.
Walkers and cyclists will find maps and information available on site pointing you in the direction of local routes over farmland, lanes, long

The Alma ale house at the edge of the farm serves Shepherds Neame and hot meals all year round.
Two acre quiet cherry orchard site based around a Tudor Manor house 1547 that gives its name to our village. Surrounded by orchards and open countryside but within easy reach of Faversham, Whitstable and Canterbury.

Hill Top Farm Wild Camping has just a few tiny pitches but the folk here keep the grass trimmed for easy pitching and you can park right next to the pitch. It's a tiny Wild Camping site with no running water, toilets or showers. What Noakes Meadow does have is plenty of space for you to enjoy and camp fires are definitely allowed. A wheelbarrow of fire wood can be purchased for £10 Cash/Paypal/Bank Transfer on arrival. This site is far away from the madding crowds though close to the M20 and A20 for easy access.
A mere 10-minute stroll along the road is a fab 16th-century country inn for food and pints. On the other hand you could always fire up a barbie and sizzle some sausages or grab a take away from the chippie 7 minutes away in the nearby village of Lenham.
This wild camping site operates a leave no trace policy so be prepared to bag up and take everything with you when you leave.

Lovely little campsite, clean facilities and friendly hens! Small honesty shop, fridge and freezer available. Nice friendly pub within ten minutes walk. Great for a peaceful break. The only negative was no hand drier or paper towels available in the wash shed and could do with slightly better lighting in the toilets.

Really lovely, quiet little campsite, with lots of personal touches - and it was wonderful to be supporting the rebirth of the windmill by staying there! We would definitely stay there again. Added bonus having bakery and delicious cafe there. And it's the only time we have ever been offered the use of a clean bathmat each time we showered! Thank you, Elly.

The location is very nice. Bit tight for manoeuvring the vehicle around, but once in place, really nice. Fire pit and ash pan available at each pitch which worked really well. Was a windy weekend but the pitches offer very good protection from the winds. Toilets looked fine and the little wash up sink is more than adequate. Owner turned up a couple of time to check that everyone was ok and if any wood was required, good attention to the campers.

Before we even booked our stay, the communication was fantastic. When we arrived we were welcomed by Andy who was friendly and helpful. Our pitch was great, with the use of a fire pit to cook our marshmallows. The toilets, showers, and washing up area was always clean. A short walk to the end of the field was the river where we had great paddles with our kayak and paddle boards, dog walks. It was a safe site for the children. Beautiful garden area. We went to March for food at the black rock grill and smokehouse which was delicious and well worth the money. It was a quiet and pleasant atmosphere and we will definitely be back to this site.
The electric is on a metre but only cost us £5 for 3 days and we had our heater plugged in as well as the kettle on a lot. The little shop has fire wood, ice cream, drinks and snacks.
