About the site

Meadowsweet is rustic camping at its very best. Set on a small farm, the site provides fruit and vegetables to the local community and partakes in breeding and rearing rare breed animals including the critically endangered Suffolk Punch horse. The site offers an opportunity to get back to nature with the family in an idyllic setting close to the coast, with easy access to the local surf beaches and walking trails. Perfect for couples and small respectful groups too. Opening their gates to respectful campers, the owners here wish to share the tranquillity and peaceful atmosphere of the farm. Social souls can use the communal campfire pits with wood available from the farm, but if you're looking to kick back with a small group, or have some quiet family time undisturbed, there are portable fire troughs available too. The site offers a variety of grass tent pitches for campers. Please note, vehicles are not allowed in the camping field, but you are welcome to park in the nearby field that has direct road access, just a short walk from the camping area. There are also three non-electric campervan pitches available, offering a peaceful spot for your camper to park up and enjoy the farm surroundings. The ethos here is nature conservation, preservation of rare breeds and local natural food production. Sorry, no dogs due to sensitive animals on the site.

Croyde is the next beach down the coast and known for its surfing. Board rental available from both beaches' main car parks.
