Why stay here ...
The Caravan Meadow is a Club CL site, set in the heart of rural Suffolk on the Stackyard Nursery where we grow trees and shrubs and raise our own pigs, sheep and chickens on a 12 acre site adjacent to the thriving village of Mendlesham and directly opposite the woods with walking routes and a Snakeshead Fritillary (best seen in spring).
The site is flat with its own entrance and hard standing making it a perfect all weather location. The half acre meadow has been planted with trees and hedging to provide shade and shelter the choice is yours where you park. In addition 5 bays each with their own water and electrical points have been provided that can be easily accessed directly from the hard standing.
We welcome dogs however, due to fact that we have animals on site and for the peace and quiet of other on site, we would ask that they are keep under control on a lead.
The site is an excellent location for exploring the local area which is well endowed with walks including Thornham (5.5 miles), the Mid Suffolk Light Railway Museum (3.6 miles) the Museum of East Anglian Rural Life (7 miles) and pubs serving local produce and local shops.
