The gypsy caravan, in the old orchard under the damson and pear trees

The shepherd huts under the orchard blossom

The toilet facilities - new for 2022, just finishing decorating

Pop-up site in rural Suffolk near Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds
A 30-minute drive from Thetford Forest Park and Ipswich river cruises
Stay in an old orchard with playground and communal firepit on site

Want to be in deepest countryside but close enough to a town for a spot of shopping or a night in the pub? Check out the offerings at Whitehouse Farm, set in six acres of glorious rural Suffolk, well away from roads and traffic noise and yet only 20 minutes’ drive from the pubs and indie shops of Bury St Edmunds. This is also a super spot for kids, as there is a playground with climbing equipment on site and some fab family walks directly from the farm – you can bring the pooches too but they need to be kept on leads please. The pitches are located in the meadow, just beyond where the shepherd huts sit in the old orchard among damson, apple, pear and greengage trees. Shared facilities include loos, showers, a water tap, a washing-up area and a laundry room. Barbecues are available if you feel inspired to cook, and there's a communal firepit too for sociable evenings. You can pick up supplies in Stowmarket (15 minutes’ drive) – and if you don't fancy cooking, well… those Bury St Edmunds pubs await. For chilly evenings, a sauna is also available (chat to site staff for more details).

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: Loved the settings and area. The facilities were also great and very clean. Also the smaller site was nice. We enjoyed the walks in the surrounding area. Would book again and look forward to enjoying the pond pool in warmer weather because we chickened out.

Tawny shepherd's hut

Liked: I stayed in the Shepherd’s hut. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The hut and showers/loos were clean and kept to a high standard. The hut itself was heated, it came with all the cutlery/plates/bowls and bits and bobs. I was expecting way less so this was a pleasant surprise! The campsite also had a couple of play areas which my son loved. We will definitely come back!

Lynsey D. Feb 2025

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Absolutely loved the sauna, the remote location, very laid back vibe and small enough where it would never be full of people.

Disliked: The grids on the mud were extremely difficult to utilise fully due to the very soggy ground - we actually got our van stuck but the very helpful man on site quickly got us sorted and out of the mud again!

Local attractions

The pretty town of Bury St Edmunds (20 minutes’ drive) holds a local market every Wednesday and Saturday, where you can pick up foodie bits and pieces. It also has indie shopping, a spectacular cathedral, brewery tours and popular restaurants for a respite from all the sightseeing. Alton Water (40 minutes) is a top spot for canoeing and sailing, and any rainy days are covered by the swimming pool in the leisure centre at Stowmarket (15 minutes). A day trip to the Norfolk Broads (45 minutes) to hire a day-cruiser boat is also a firm family favourite, or you might like to have a go at punting along The Backs in Cambridge (an hour) – if that’s too much like hard work, take a look at the city’s historic colleges instead. When the kids need a runaround, hire bikes for off-roading at Thetford Forest Park (half an hour) or let them try out the treetop rope courses at Go Ape Thetford (45 minutes). If only a beach day will do, Aldeburgh (an hour) has a sand and shingle stretch that's safe for swimming, and a popular fish and chip shop for after you’ve had a dip.
