Kings Forest Caravan Park

Kings Forest Caravan Park is an adults-only caravan, camping and glamping site at Wideham Farm on the edge of West Stow, Suffolk, with immediate access to the King's Forest. The farm covers 90 acres and the forest tracks start at the gate, which is the whole reason to come: you can walk, cycle or ride out for miles without touching a road. Bury St Edmunds is 5 miles away and the racing town of Newmarket 12 miles, while the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village and Country Park sits directly opposite and Lackford Lakes, good for birdwatching, is just around the corner. Lavenham and Long Melford are within reach for a day out. You can pitch up on an electric hook-up pitch or a non-electric grass pitch, or take one of three glamping pods, including the Sunset View Pod with its own hot tub. Tents, trailer tents, motorhomes and RVs are all welcome and dogs stay free on a lead, with a warm pooch wash by the shower block. Nobody under 18 stays here, campfires and fire pits are banned because of the forest (BBQs are fine kept off the ground), ball games are out, and the wifi is patchy, though Vodafone 4G holds up. Kings Forest Caravan Park opens 1 April to 31 October, with grass pitches from £30 a night and electric hook-up from £33.
