Another vote for Wildemere Farm - Suffolk

Wildemere Farm was the first CL we ever stayed at during our Caravanning days. Two / three years on -
we are now Motorhomers – we have returned.

The drive or tow to Wildemere Farm is easy and makes this CL accessible to all; we are a 9m-twin TAG motorhome and the entrance was no problem.

Do not be daunted if you Google map the approach down Wildemere La, there are plenty of passing points on the final approach; plus the gate entrance to CL is very wide.

Trees open fields border the CL and it has great feel of the Suffolk countryside. There is plenty of room to maneuver and pitch where you feel you’d like as the EHU is down the center of the CL area –
we did not use the EHU, as we have an excellent solar system; and David kindly gives a £2 p/night discount. There are grey water drains pottered over the sight, in conjunction with a larger grey water dump point fenced in the refuse area. A separate
new CC Site style ESLAN is available via the gate to the next field.

The ground is reasonably level and the grass is cut to nice level. Coupled with the warm welcome from David, Tanya and I just looked at each other and said “why do we not come here more often” – considering it is a 40min drive for us we now will.

Having two chocolate Labradors, dog walks are key for us.

Just outside to the right of the entrance provides dog walkers with a path to a large open field area that the most energetic of hounds can be tired.

For the more relaxing approach, the CL provides a well stocked information hut and TV aerial points for you to enhance your TV signal.

If like us you have you own Sat system the tree-line does not effect you getting the required lock to Astra-2.

Peace and quiet equals’ relaxation and Wildemere Farm is the tonic to leave the woes of the week behind.

The town of Mildenhall – a short cycle or drive away - can provide a source for takeaways / pubs and shopping. Therefore, for those staying longer it’s easy to keep the fridge full of wine and beer.

A short stay, or a base to visit the delights of Norfolk, Suffolk or Cambridgeshire? I can’t think of a reason why you would not want to base yourself at Wildemere Farm which is great value for money at £10 p/night or £8 p/night for non-EHU.

We thoroughly recommed Wilemere Farm.

    That's good to know. Have you written a review where more people are likely to read it?

    Two chocolate Labradors Mickx????Surprised we have enough with one and a Goldie! CLs are brilliant with dogs, especially those that need
    four or five walks a day! Enjoy, we hope to use Wildemere as well at some point!Happy
