At Nayland follow the signpost for "Bures", follow the road for about one kilometre past a left hand lane sign posted "Wissington Church", there is a group of cottages on the left and a sign to the campsite, go through a gate and follow the farm track down to the waterside.

Here is where crews on the River Stour Boating two day trips will spend the night. All the tents will be erected in readiness and the RSB team will be on hand to greet you and to provide a hearty evening meal.

All your personal equipment will be waiting for you. On the one day trips the Minibus will return you to Bures or Sudbury.

For those people taking part on our trips, the sight of the River Stour Boating Jetty is very welcoming. The campsite, owned by farmer Garth Bates who has been operating for over fifty years. Garth is a member of the RSB, he has a special affinity with the River Stour having been involved with it since his childhood.
Wissington Campsite

There is a refurbished landing stage and launching over the bank is easy.

There are Ladies and Gents toilet facilities provided by RSB, together with a drinking water tap and a disposal point for litter.

A public footpath crosses the farm and there are possibilities of several walks. The river here is wide and deep with approximately a mile and a half of unobstructed water. Downstream two step weir portages lead to the Anchor at Nayland. This part of the river is probably the quietest and most attractive section of the whole navigation.

Leaving the camp site on Sunday morning the crews will proceed to the next stop approximately 6 miles down stream to Stratford St Mary where we stop for lunch at The Swan Inn on the banks of the river.
