Based on Simper Farm on the Suffolk coast, Wild Riverside Camping is rustic camping at its finest – think wild swimming in the River Deben and a campsite reached by a lane lined with blackberry bushes.
The joy of going back to basics is compounded by a shortage of facilities, with only portable toilets, containers and new water tanks.
What you lack in the showers, makes up for it through the location, a few minutes from the estuary beach and 20 minutes walk from the local Pub Ramsholt Arms.
As Simper is a working farm, consumers can also purchase products such as smoked fish, eggs and vegetable boxes.
The meadow for six other people costs 165 euros for a week in August.
