Lovely, well kept site with spacious pitches and clean toilet and shower.
There is a little café just as you enter the site, didn't eat there ourselves, but it seemed popular. Café customers don't affect the site as there's separate parking for them.
There's a footpath that runs behind the site and that leads to Woolpit Village, turn left at the bottom of Steeples Road not right like we did 🤦 and it's a short walk to the village.
Beautiful village, lots of character, small co op, but if you want the pub you'll have to wait until 7pm for it to open.
We'd definitely stay here again.
Peaceful stay
CL in large field with 2 electrical connection distribution boxes. Need to fully book and pay online which is easy to do, plus get email reminders.
WC and shower kept immaculate.
Vegan cafe on site, but village only 15 mins walk away.
Recommended for a peaceful stay
Wonderful CL
Wonderful CL . Warm welcome, flat beautiful quiet scenery. Cheapest diesel in UK in village. Great location for touring this beautiful county.
Fantastic small lake in same field. But I have a complaint!!! The owner told me there were only small carp in. So set up light. Hit a bite ..15 minutes later I struggled to get a beautiful 7lb carp in the net. 🤩 Caught other smaller ones and roach and Rudd. Can't wait till morning.

Lovely site
Our first stay here in a lovely village with many memories for us.
The site is spacious, clean and well kept. Clean toilet emptying point along with good pressure water supply. Shower and toilet available although we didn't use them - but they looked fine.
Electrical hook-up is available but wasn't obvious in that the points on one side were inside a box that you need a utility box key (like the one from home for the electric meter) to open. We didn't have one but managed to improvise with a screw driver. Maybe it is just us, but I've never seen that arrangement before?! I will carry a key in future.
The couple that run the site are local and very friendly and helpful. Any issues atall (we didn't have any) and I would be sure that they would be great.
There is a lovely pond on the site and next time I shall definitely take my rod and tackle. We saw some locals pulling some beautiful carp from the pond.
Overall really happy with our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely plan to return.
Relative peace and quiet
We had a lovely few days on site, met by Janet just after we had set up she made us feel welcome.
The choice of this site was to meet up with family whom live local to the site and see friends, for which it was ideal.
There is easy access from the A14 , a bit narrow through the village, but nice wide entrance to Grange Farm.
Will definitely use this CL again when visiting our relatives.
Delightful CL
Just spent an enjoyable two nights at Grange Farm CL site. Weather was overcast but that didn't stop us enjoying the lovely grounds including a stroll around the fishing lake.
The site has all the basic amenities needed including a clean bathroom with toilet, basin and shower.
As others have said there was the hum of traffic in the distance but even with my overly sensitive hearing it didn't stop me having a good nights sleep.
As always I've posted a video of the site which you can watch here.-

Beautiful site
Phoned to book site just the day before and we were lucky to get a pitch. Easy to get to and big entrance, only two other vans there so we pitched in the left hand corner with the door facing the hedge as it was windy and nice and level. Soon after Janet came for the money and told us she looked after the storage and the CL as the house had been sold and there was no B&B now. I didn't use the facilities but my husband did and said they were nice and clean. Elsan and drinking water also good as was the TV reception. The site was in a great location to everywhere we wanted to go and Woolput its self is a beautiful village. The Tea Cup tea shop makes its own cakes and is a quaint little place and we had a nice meal at The Bull. There is currently building work going on in the field behind and a slight noise but nothing to disturb you and you can just hear the A14 at night if the wind is that way but again it doesn't disturb your sleep. We would come again if we are in the area and there are some really pretty villages around here.
Lovely little site perfect for visiting Bury St Edmunds
We stayed here with our two dogs early Summer 2019. Easy to find, good access and a great base to visit Bury St Edmunds or the National Trust Ickworth House. We walked the gentle 15 minute walk along a paved footpath into Woolpit and there is a Fish & Chip Shop, Tea Rooms, Foody pub (no dogs allowed) and a nice Dog friendly pub with a nice garden. The site is lovely and quiet and it was lovely to have a pond with ducks and geese wandering around. Personally, i felt the shower & toilet could have been cleaned a bit better but it was perfectly adequate for our 3 night stay. Ive marked down the arrival/welcome because you dont see anyone but only because the farm no longer manages of the site so the managers are not on site but its all very straight forward so they dont need to be. We will be back is its so peaceful and such a good base for visiting the area.

Lovely area, lovely site
Great sight in beautiful countryside. The site has a pond with ducks and geese and the freedom to park where you would wish on a large field. There is electric hook up available and a shower room with toilet which is kept very clean. The local village of Woolpit has all you need with a coop, pub, fish and chip shop and tea room; there are the towns of Bury St Edmund's and Stowmarket close by for anything you can't get in Woolpit. Overall this site has easy access, very good facilities and gives a certain freedom of camping as you can more or less pitch where you would like. We would like to return when we are in the area again and would recommend the site.
A lovely little site
We spent the last week of May here as part of a tour of East Anglia. This is a delightful site of about an acre, half of which is supplied with 16A electric hook-ups. It has the most luxurious lavatory and shower room that we have ever found on a CL with the best electric shower that we have used anywhere. There is also a separate field used for caravan storage. As it is so close to the A14 there is a faint background sound of traffic but this is not enough to spoil the tranquillity of the site.
The only improvement that we would make would be the addition of wi-fi. We know that many people use CLs to “get away from it all”, but we are geocachers and it would have been good to be able to upload our logs each day from the caravan rather than wait until we were at another site.
The village of Woolpit is a half-mile stroll away along an asphalted public footpath that is accessed from a gate in the hedge along one side of the field. Woolpit has two pubs, a Co-op shop, a filling station with a shop attached, a fish and chip shop, a bakery, a hairdresser, a tea shop and an ancient church with a beautifully carved double hammer-beam roof.
From here Bury St Edmunds, with its cathedral and abbey ruins, is only eleven miles away. There is also a large Tesco. In the other direction Stowmarket is only six miles away and has a large Asda.
