Short Breaks Help Mental Health and Wellbeing

The Outjoyment Report included a survey of 11,000 campers and non-campers, assessing attitudes towards the benefits of all types of camping such as pitching up in a tent or motorhome or going glamping.

The study has been welcomed by the directors of Stonham Barns Park - a bustling family complex offering holiday accommodation, attractions and activities based in the heart of Suffolk.

At Stonham Barns Park you can stay in the The Aspal Campsite which hosts touring caravans, motorhomes, tents and even tipis – and offers the ultimate luxury camping experience in the form of glamping which is becoming increasingly popular.

Campsite pitches are available with or without electrical hook ups, all set in a parkland location with a children’s play area and easy access to all the facilities at Stonham Barns Park. Dogs are welcome too. The study showed that 97% of campers said happiness was their top motivator for going camping. 93% said being more connected to nature was important and 93% said they felt benefits to their health and wellbeing. 88% reported being less stressed after a camping experience. New leisure facilities are being added to Stonham Barns Park to enhance the visitor experience including a new sports bar and clubhouse, new children’s play facilities and new adventure footgolf. The venue also includes fishing lakes, an owl sanctuary and birds of play centre, a nine-hole golf course, adventure golf, footgolf, golf simulators, theatre, and around 40 village shops, a café and restaurant and a garden centre.
