About Church View Campsite
Ideally situated between Newmarket and the historic Bury St Edmunds, kick back at this friendly camping and glamping site within easy reach of Suffolk and Norfolk. It's only a ten minute walk from two pub restaurants in Barrow village and has its own cafe bar open during the peak season between May and September. There's a selection of grass and hardstanding pitches, most including 10 amp electric and others serviced with water too. Extra large pitches cater to large tents too, and the site also has space for solo travellers/bikers. There is a spacious pitch field with extra room to pitch your own way together with 10 amp electric and water at the pitch. Large vehicles can be accommodated but be aware that there is a slope to enter the site. The owners are more than happy to help you onto and off of the pitch and an alternative entrance is available on request. Or you can rest up in a luxury pod cabin. Sleeping up to five, this converted container glamping option is equipped with heating, air-con, TV, fridge and microwave. You will share the usual campsite facilities and bring your own bedding. One well behaved dog is welcome. Or, if you fancy trying something different, you can even stay in the Sunflower Sally Glamping Bus which sleeps up to six people with a king-sized bed, two singles and two sofa beds. Inside is a TV, fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster and even an air fryer! Please bring your own bedding. Outside is a picnic bench. Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch or in the glamping pod cabin, however, they are not allowed on the non electric grass backpacker pitches, sorry.
Church View Campsite is open from 28/03 to 30/09 in 2024 and 2025.
Facilities here include 24 hour toilets and showers, a communal fridge and ice pack freezing is also available. There are also a number of activities you can try including mini golf, archery, a gym, escape room and an obstacle course.
The cafe/bar is open at various times through the season, pizzas are also on offer on Friday or Saturday evenings! There is also a local horse stable just up the road. Please note, that the site will only accept waste disposal with organic green toilet fluid, organic washing up liquid and laundry liquid.
The village of Barrow is just a ten minute walk away with two pubs, The Three Horseshoes and the Weeping Willow, both serving a range of food and drink. You'll also find a post office, a chippy (cash only), plus two convenience shops.

What a brilliant find. Only 15 minutes away from home, from Bury St. Edmunds and from Newmarket. Loads of stuff for the kids to do. Fully serviced and spacious pitches. Complimentary chicken friends and a cat roaming around. Spotlessly clean. Quiet after 9.30pm with everyone being very respectful. Very basic, but clean toilets and showers. Definitely coming back.
