Local farmer Phil Weavers has donated an acre of land to the camping association, so that a campsite can be created in Wickham. It features outside plugs for electricity, drinking water, a wooden shower and toilet block, a small cafe that opens for a couple of hours a day around lunch time, a fruit stall and a pay phone.
The campsite is surrounded by a fence and guarded by a gate; to enter you must pay a small fee into the automated machine which then provides you with a ticket which is valid only for the amount of time paid to stay for. It is possible to leave and return as long as the ticket is in your possession.
Wickham offers the perfect surroundings for the campsite, as it boasts a pub, a farm shop, a small post office and the Village Hall. The local bus service can also take people to Sudbury or Halstead, the two nearest towns.
