Brighthouse Farm Caravan & Campsite

Brighthouse Farm sits just outside Bury St Edmunds in the village of Lawshall, Suffolk. The six-acre site spreads across flat grassland with mature trees dividing the camping fields, and the views across open Suffolk countryside stretch wide from most pitches. Odell and Ross run it with the kind of attentiveness that earns repeat bookings: the facilities are consistently clean, the grounds well-maintained, and local knowledge freely offered.

What lifts this beyond a serviceable farm field is the private footpath that leads directly from site to the village pub and shop, and the 1.5-mile farm trail open only to guests. You don't need a car to find a pint or an evening walk. Pitches are non-regimented across the six acres, so there's room to breathe whether you're in a tent, caravan, or campervan. Electric hookup is available on some pitches for those who need it.

Dogs are welcome, families clearly come back year after year (a group of 24 returns as a large family reunion), and the under-5s-and-teens welcome makes it genuinely cross-generational. At £10 per night from, it sits firmly in budget territory without feeling thin on care.
