The tap of darts and the low hum of conversation drift through the bar as you settle in — this is camping with a proper village pub at its heart.

The Cock Inn offers camping pods alongside traditional guest house rooms, so it suits couples after a cosy base for exploring the Suffolk countryside and anyone who likes their camping with a pint and a hot meal close at hand. Glemsford sits in gentle farming country between Sudbury and Haverhill, the kind of place where lanes wind between fields and the pace drops a gear. Dogs may be welcome — worth asking when you book — and the year-round opening means it's there when you need it, whatever the season.

Campfire policy is something to check when you arrive, but the real draw here is the balance: a bit of outdoor simplicity with none of the isolation. Expect a friendly village atmosphere, the comfort of four walls if the weather turns, and that rare thing — a campsite where the local is part of the stay, not a mile down the road.
