Woodbridge, England · 18 units · Tents, Motorhomes
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!

Nestled in a secluded wooded glade, Hill Cottage Holidays offers an off grid glamping experience where you don't have to compromise on comfort. Our glampsite is designed for eco-conscious travellers, wellness seekers, and adventure lovers. With exclusive woodland access, organic garden-to-table produce and holistic therapies on site, our glampsite provides a perfect balance of comfort, sustainability, and nature.
We are a deliberately small-scale rural site where just a handful of beautiful bell tents have been tucked away in a wooded glade within a private nature reserve. The focus here is on immersing yourself in your surroundings and escaping from the every day. Here you can be as off grid as you like and you can even book the whole site for your exclusive use if you prefer to holiday with your friends and family.
Handcrafted interiors featuring natural fibre bedding, rustic furnishings, and wood-burning stoves. Modern waterless toiles and hot showers—eco-friendly without compromising comfort - each tent has its own assigned toilet/shower, so no sharing. Welcome baskets available with seasonal homegrown organic fruit, vegetables, and freshly laid eggs.
The surrounding area has plenty of things to do – from castle visits to beach days. Or simply relax on site, lounging leisurely in a hammock, birdwatching, or listening to the sounds of the woods.
You won’t need to stress about packing – our tents are kitted out with all sorts of eco-friendly things including plush bedding, proper beds and woodburning stoves. Shared facilities include a kitchenette in a converted horsebox, firepit/barbecue area, games and activities for children.
Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic break, a family wanting to get back to nature, or a group wanting to holiday together Hill Cottage Holidays is the place for you.
If you have any queries, give us a call and we'll be happy to assist, or visit our website for more details.

Fellows Farm
17. Fellows Farm
CA · 1 unit
Welcome to Fellows Farm — 13 acres of organic Suffolk countryside, big skies and proper farm life.
Nestled in the village of Gosbeck, Fellows Farm is home to our family (Ben, Femke, Rory & Aran), our market garden, micro bakery, vineyard, weaving studio, flock of sheep — and a beautifully spaced, private campsite.
This is a working, Soil Association–certified organic farm where much of the food you’ll eat is grown metres from where you’ll sleep. Solar-powered, borehole-fed, and surrounded by pasture and wildlife, it’s a place to slow down, cook together, watch the sunset over 12-mile views and wake to birdsong.
Stay in one of our 5m bell tents (one with a double bed, one with a double + single) or our cosy shepherd’s hut, all thoughtfully scattered across the meadow for space and privacy. We also offer the whole site as a private campsite for up to 30 guests — perfect for gatherings, celebrations and retreats.
At the heart of the site is our beautiful barn with a wood-fired pizza oven, long dining tables, hot water, fridges and freezers, crockery and plenty of space to feast. Cook for yourselves or let us make pizzas (or something special) for you. Breakfast and seasonal produce boxes from our market garden are also available.
There’s a wildlife pond, fire pits and barbecues, a beer keg tap, and a sound system (with a gentle 11pm curfew for amplified music). Compost toilets and a heated rustic outdoor shower keep things comfortable but close to nature. Charging sockets are available in the barn.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome (just not in the sheep field).
We’re a short stroll from Gosbeck Wood (a Triple SSSI woodland), 15 minutes from the market town of Debenham, 20 minutes from Woodbridge, and around 45 minutes from the beautiful Suffolk coast. Coddenham community shop is a 5-minute drive (or a lovely hour’s walk). Helmingham Hall and its stunning walled garden are just down the road.
Come for dark skies, long tables, wood-fired evenings and food grown from the soil beneath your feet.

Woodbridge, England · 1 unit · Tent, Motorhome
Situated just a brief ten-minute drive away from the stunning coastline and merely five minutes from Sutton Hoo, this welcoming site is perfectly positioned for exploring all that Suffolk has to offer. Embracing a commitment to sustainable, low-impact living, the campsite aims to preserve its natural surroundings.
Visitors have the option to settle into one of the site's 50 generously-sized pitches, 30 of which are equipped with electric hook-up. Spread across five small fields adorned with native trees and bushes, these pitches cater to tents, campervans, motorhomes, caravans, and RVs.
For those in search of a touch of luxury, a 6m bell tent awaits, providing an ideal glamping experience. Housing up to five guests, the bell tent boasts a king-sized bed, double futon sofa-bed, single futon chair bed, complete bedding, electric amenities, a small fridge, and a kettle.
Outside, a spacious decking area beckons with a shaded table and chairs, accompanied by a fire pit, gas BBQ, and a hot plate, setting the scene for delightful al fresco dining (complete with cooking utensils and crockery).
Nestled within a smallholding, the campsite is home to rare breed pigs, alpacas, goats, and chickens, and guests are invited to join in the evening feeding sessions. Depending on the season, visitors may even have the chance to meet baby alpacas, goats, chicks, piglets, and more.
Campfires are permitted in designated fire pits, available for hire on-site, and firewood can be purchased (though guests are welcome to bring their own).
Dogs are welcome on secure leads, and the campsite offers direct access to walking trails meandering through acres of picturesque countryside.

Such a relaxing stay. Peaceful setting, surrounded by fields, trees and wildlife. A hot shower and toilet facilities. My daughter loved the experience, and even commented that it’s much better than watching tick-tock, which for an 11 year old is high praise indeed.

I wanted a nice peaceful site that was easily accessible (the farm track to the field was a bit bumpy but my Zafira was ok) plenty of space and I got just that, there was a small wood behind me with plenty of free wood to burn, the toilets for a camp site were amazing cleaner than a lot of hotels I have stayed in, would I recommend this site definitely, would I stay here again definitely. The host met me at the house and was very pleasant and the burgers were great too, top notch.

We stayed as a family of 5, the 3 kids had a lot of fun in the woods and the open site with space to run aroud without getting near other campers..
Being set in the countryside next to a working farm, we were surrounded by some amazing nature and walks. Very peaceful with stunning views..
The facility's are exactly as I'd hope for with a wild campsite, functional clean and not over the top..
Definitely return in the future to unwind..
Also the hosts were very attentive and helpful..

Had a great stay here. Found a great spot deep in the tall, pine tree woods. There were a few other people here, but still felt like I had the place to myself.
Was warmly welcomed by Joe on arrival. A super sound guy who explained the lowdown, and looked like he's go out of his way to help out with something you may need or may have forgotten.
All in all, a great spot... in a great spot. Had a great reset during my stay.
I was clinging onto 1 bar of a 4G signal (3network) for my stay. Just the right amount for being connected.
Highly recommended

A lovely, quiet, basic site. Has all the necessities like flushing toilets and hot showers, but not much else. Fire pits with cooking grills free to use, seasoned firewood available to purchase. 2 minute walk to farm shop for fresh meat and veg, or supermarket 5 mins drive up the road. Plenty of space to set up, no restrictions on pitches, just a general expectation of being courteous to other campers. Grass cut to a good level, ground mostly flat. Would definitely return. Great value site.

Sadly the weather was shocking for our trip and there were only another couple of campers so after battling with our set-up in high winds after enjoying a fabulous coffee and cake in the farm shop cafe in arrival (beautiful shop and cafe) - we finally were about to have a brew outdoors and take in the lovely orchards that became our view. Sadly the winds kept getting stronger and as the sun was going down we made the decision not to stay as the winds were only going to get stronger. Also lack of other campers and morale to keep us going we left and headed home. Nice facilities, toilets were clean and washing/cleaning set up looks good and loved the area that held the fridge and charging points. Just a shame the UK weather let us down - for our very first camping trip.

We had such a lovely stay at this magical campsite. The man at reception, Joe, was incredibly helpful and accommodating to us! such a genuinely lovely person and a great welcome when we arrived.
Because it’s still early in the season, we were actually the only ones staying there, which made the experience feel even more special. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and magical all around. ✨🌲
We decided to drive further into the forest with our van and made use of the wood provided by the campsite. It was really good value for the amount we received and made the whole experience even nicer.
There are lots of great walks all around the area, and we left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed , ready to head back to busy London.
Afterwards we visited the nearby UFO landing site and saw the UFO sculpture, which was great fun and literally just around the corner. 🛸👽✨
We would definitely book this site again. 🌲🚐⭐️

What a wonderful place! Stayed here last night for a solo camp. I love the idea of wild camping but I’m not quite confident enough to go alone. This was the perfect balance because it IS wild camping but with permission. Joe was very helpful and welcoming and the groundsman (I’m not sure of his name) helped me with my camping stove issue. Wonderful walking trails all around, pigs in the field opposite, drinking water and a couple of portals. What more could you want? I’ll be back.

Exactly the experience I wanted, wild camp. We camped down the bottom in the woods end of February, a bit wet so was aloud to have a campfire off the floor. Lots of owls to be heard and woodland behind to explore all the way to Sutton hoo! Excellent quiet just what we wanted, wild camp.

Where to go
Woodbridge
As the gateway town between Ipswich and the Suffolk Coast, Woodbridge’s many campsites offer a convenient base for Suffolk exploration. Besides easy access to both the coast and city, visitors can also explore nature trails along the River Deben, the Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon burial site, and Rendlesham Forest, making this a top spot for families and independent Hipcampers.
Aldeburgh
Experience quintessential British camping at a holiday park right on the coast, with award-winning fish and chip shops and Blue Flag beaches nearby. The town roughly marks the middle of the Suffolk Coast Path, making it a great departure point for journeys north—toward RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve—or south, towards Orford Ness National Nature Reserve.
The Tendring Coast
Down at the tip of Essex’s Sunshine Coast, the Stour Estuary is a relatively recent addition to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Coastal campsites near Clacton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze, and Harwich offer easy access to the AONB, plus other outdoor attractions, such as Hamford Water Reserve and Mersea Island.
Southwold
Another Hipcamper’s paradise, this charming coastal town is best-known for its secluded campsites, sandy beaches, and strong seaside heritage. Cradled by the River Blythe, North Sea, and Buss Marshes, hikers and bikers have plenty of different landscapes to explore.
Lowestoft
At the northern border of the AONB, camping near Lowestoft affords easy access to the coastal highlights of both Norfolk and Suffolk. Inland, you’ll find riverside campsites and the gateway to The Broads canal network, while caravan-friendly holiday parks dominate the rural coastline. Don’t miss the sunrise at England’s most easterly point, Lowestoft Ness.
