CAMPING

COST: £15 PER PITCH (1 TENT, 1 PUP TENT, MAX SIX PEOPLE)
EVENT TYPE: BOOKING REQUIRED via PITCHUP or USE CONTACT FORM BELOW.
Come and join me at Beetlebank Farm for a wild camping trip. At the top of a lovely rewilded pasture lays my small campsite - a maximum of 15 pitches. Get back to nature and sleep below clear, starry Suffolk skies whilst enjoying the hoots of owls, the odd bark from a muntjac deer and the crackling of your campfire. During the day, headed into rural Suffolk, whether that’s to the local pub, the beach (just 15 minutes drive away) or a variety of cycling/rambling routes. OR just put our your chair, read a book, listen to the birds in the ancient oak trees and watch the butterflies flutter across the grass.
Utilities and Services - leave all the mod cons behind; this is a wild camping experience! No electricity or running water available, but I’ll provide you with a 5lt bottle of water when you first arrive to make that essential brew. There is a CoOp, Spar, Petrol Station and Budgens within 5 miles for top-ups. Toilets are provided by Portaloos and, coming soon, natural compost toilets.
Please be aware; tents only. No campervans unless previously discussed.
