Polstead C&CC site is 3.9 miles away (7 mins drive).
Have a look at this page, @Erbster . Ukcampsite is my go to site for finding sites, honest reviews by actual campers as well as a good search facility with lots of criteria. This is what comes up for Hadleigh:

Hi @Erbster
We have stayed at Rushbanks wissington which is near Hadleigh.
Pitches are right on the river stour.
Washroom facility is basic to clean.
Great canoe hire and paddling on river to Nayland and the Anchor pub.
Hope that helps and hope in laws stay safe :thumb

Thanks Elly - we’d seen that one but minimum stay 2 nights and you have to be in early. Really pricey IMO

Not used UK campsites- there’s lots of possibilities there; thanks

Thanks. Looks lovely. Opening next week, but two night min stay. I think that’s one for a separate trip another time!

Off Topic, but read your entire blog. Nice! Some good tips for camp sites/camper stops and sightseeing. The stop at Lac de Paraloup that used to be a camping, is one from my youth ;-)

Yes, I think mega expensive, especially as their facilities aren’t open!

Have PMed you with an idea.

It may be worth ringing. Sometimes places will let you stay overnight if you only need a small space And don’t need to use facilities. we’ve even got a space in a caravan club place before - sometimes it’s at the warden’s discretion. Long shot, but worth a try maybe.
