What visitors say

Caron Newman

We had a lovely weekend at Polstead County Park. Good size pitches, well kept shrubs separating the pitches. Clean facilities. Helpful and friendly wardens. Walks from the site. Also a really nice wooded nature walk called Arger Fen & Spouse's Vale about 4 miles away and as the weather was hot, it was a welcome shelter for us and the dog to have a nice walk away from the sun. Will definitely be back.

Nice adult only site, there are 5 to 6 foot hedges between pitches which gives a degree of privacy which we like. 10 AND 16 Amp pitches. Good shower/toilet block. Electric Barrier entrance. Not far from Hadleigh, Kersey, Sudbury so plenty to look round. We picked a nice big pitch but then didn't put the awning up.🤦‍♂️ will certainly look to visit again 2026.

Stayed one night with my sister in her little motorhome. It was a really lovely place the washrooms were really lovely. Nice and clean. The pitches had lots of trees and bushes round them making it feel really lovely quite private. Good disposal facilities for motorhomes. Would certainly visit again.
