    Virgin campers Other than overnight fishing trips never been camping before. Searched web for campsites in suffolk and found Newbourne. After a couple of emails with Jen all booked in minutes. Arrived on site(windy wet cold) and Jen gave a guided tour and explained the "rules"- pretty much get on with your own thing but if you need any help give her a shout We pitched on the grass as we did not want the mud on our first outing tent went up ok. Well what you really need to hear is, Site brilliant, facilities 5*, the smallest shop but everything you may need, we could have done an evening meal and breakfast with shop purchases but took our own- know better for next time. We travelled only 50 miles to get total peace and a great time with log fires and bbq's we intend to return in August. Although we have not been to other sites what we got from other campers this site is well up amongst the best. They say first memories last, mine will!! Jen and Larry I wish you every success for the future,

    Tranquil escape, sublime setting, outstanding facilities This was our 3rd visit to this tranquil campsite and it is our favourite get away as a couple. The setting is sublime, either in the field or the woodland, the facilities are the best I have ever seen at a camping site, the owners are fantastic and work hard to make our holiday the best it can be. The site is big enough that you do not have to camp on top of each other. There is plenty to do nearby such as hiking, walking, country pubs and villages to visit and their is plenty of wildlife about. We counted at least 20 varieties of bird from just sitting by our tent. Every time we have visited there has been nothing that has let us down other than the weather and we have always left feeling totally relaxed and refreshed. If I could I would visit more often. Slightly more expensive than other campsites but in my opinion it's worth every penny you pay. Highly recommend this campsite if you want a relaxing get away on your own, as a pair or a group of 2-4 people. Thank you for another lovely holiday and we shall be returning next year.

    Totally relaxed!!! Stayed here for a couple of nights over late May bank holiday weekend. It does everything you expect with little fuss and a lot of relaxation. Bbq's and fire pits a plenty and the facilities spotless. What more could you ask for in a campsite. We will return.

    Peaceful camping We chose this campsite as it was dog friendly, allowed campfires and was adults only. This campsite is small, and not over crammed, so it is very peaceful, you have the choice of an open field area or the wooded area, we chose the wooded area which was perfect to escape the hot sun with our dog. The toilets/showers/washing up facilities are brilliant, clean, critter free and well looked after, some of the best we have seen, the extra touches are great such as mozzie spray, blankets etc. Also there is an information hut which has some lovely walks to do. Fires can be lit in the firepits which are free to use and wood is £5 a crate, we only used one crate over 2 nights. My only very small criticism is that there is no shop which can be handy for the basics, other than that we loved it and would definitely come back

    Hands down best campsite This is an absolute gem of a camp site. Truly special in that it has a superb relaxed vibe, without attracting hoards of 'relaxed' (i.e. noisy) people. I came back feeling relaxed and refreshed. I actually stayed July 2017 but forgot to leave a review at that time and having just been camping at the weekend I was reminded that I need to go back here! We fell asleep really early (quiet time after 10pm) and slept in until about 11am.... that says it all. No screaming children. No children full stop. No loud groups of adults. Camped in the shade of the forest. BLISS The attention to detail the owners have put into the site is incredible. - Friendly welcome -The shower and toilet blocks are like boutique hotel facilities they are so good! Great style, lots of hot water and they are clean and lovely. - Covered area you can use to sit / cook if the weather is bad. - Freezer for refreezing your ice blocks. - Little touches like a stack of blankets so you can grab an extra one if you're cold, and bug spray available You can choose your pitch and go for grass pitch or woodland which I loved, we went for the edge of the forest and there was a wood table and chairs next to the pitch we used to eat at. Plenty of flat ground. I think you can have a fire pit but we didn't bother. The local area is great - lots of walks or bike rides and an easy hop in the car to tourist sites. We actually didn't do as much as we intended to do because the campsite was so relaxing! For me, it is a bonus that cars are not allowed on the pitches. I hate camping with cars driving around the tent and ruining the view. You can get pretty close, and there are wheelbarrows available to move your stuff. Overall this is a 6* luxury camping experience and I hope it doesn't get too popular before I get back! ;-)

    What a beautiful quiet little gem Newbourne Woodland Campsite, turned out to be!!The facilities are immaculate, and the little touches like mosquito spray for yourself and your tent, so thoughtful. Hot water bottles and blankets if you get cold, and hair drier!The double toilet and showers we're brilliant, hot water constantly running, so clean!!Just outside we're two sinks, supplied with washing up liquid and sponges.Camp fires are supplied and a crate if wood only £5!! Ours lasted 2 days.BBQs are also supplied for free, with cheap charcoal, you can also bring your own.There are 2 fridges where you can store your food, electric to charge your phone's, tablets etc. There is also a small shop should you need anything, ranging from drinks to beans to frozen food.You have a choice of camping in the woods, where we stayed, or on the green.There are signs asking for customers to keep the noise down after 10pm, not that we heard any during the day. It's so quiet and peaceful. We had an amazing, relaxing, 3 nights, originally 2 nights booked, but instantly fell in love with the place, and booked another night.There isn't one disappointing thing I can say. This is my first time camping, I was a little worried but after our first night, I didn't want to go home!! I will certainly be back in the near future.

    I was welcomed by the very friendly and caring owner, who made sure I had everything I needed. The cabin I stayed in was very tastefully decorated, comfortable and well equipped. The biggest (positive) surprise for me were the toilet and shower facilities : sparkling clean, nice looking and quite different from what you usually find on campsites. Very luxurious and not like anything I have ever seen on a camp site in the UK. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

    A very special campsite My gf and I have just returned from 2 nights camping here and we want to go back already. This adult-only campsite is a beautiful place to relax and get away from it all. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They have put their hearts in to the campsite and you can feel it. We picked a spot in the heart of the wooded section (you can choose from the meadow or the wood) and whilst we were close to others the trees offer the feel of seclusion. Logs and charcoal are available to buy for use in the fire bowls and bbqs that can be collected upon arrival. The toilet/showers are immaculately clean and modern - better than many hotel bathrooms. The hot water was heaven after our kayaking trip on Saturday morning in Iken. Washing up after cooking was easy in in the 2 large sinks with washing up liquid, cloths and towels all provided. The little touches such as the insect repellent in the toilets or the box of blankets for those that get cold separate this from other campsites and show the level of attention that had gone in to this wonderful place. There is plenty to do in the area from walking in the countryside to lounging on the beach in Felixstowe. Newbourne Woods was the perfect place for our weekend get away and we will definitely be going back.

    Want a peaceful, idlilic, immaculate and friendly campsite? Book here now you won't be disappointed! We (2 of us) stayed here for a weekend in June. The site is immaculately kept with a choice of open field, woods or a small clearing hidden in the woods which we were lucky enough to choose! The site is adult only so in the evenings is very quiet, perfect for just sitting outside the tent and looking and listening to nature. Sinks for washing up are under cover along with fridge & freezer to use in 'The Elephant Shed', an undercover communal area with the most impressive woodburner ever! The shower & toilet block is as it describes on the website- 5 star! Lovely rainfall showers, sinks with mirrors. It's the little touches that stand out. In both gents and ladies blocks there are boxes full of blankets to borrow if the weather gets suddenly chilly and in the ladies there are hot water bottles and a kettle to fill! Fires are permitted in certain areas as long as you use a metal firepit (free to borrow). Crates of logs are always available to buy. We came across a lovely little cast iron chimenea which kept us warm sitting outside the tent in the evenings. A small shop has basic provisions. There are lots of local walks printed on A4 paper to take and use. Every detail is taken care of! I can't put into words just how beautiful this site is. Nature all around along with pure relaxation & peace will see us returning very soon! If you're a couple after a quiet spot then this is the place for you. Many thanks to Jen & Larry and we'll see you soon!

    What a lucky find So often when you arrive at a site there is something that is a little disappointing, or "not quite" as described. Not so here! We received a warm and friendly welcome, a totally laid back atmosphere, a beautiful site, and a cabin that far exceeded our expectations. Clean, comfortable, secluded, well appointed, fabulously comfortable beds.... A first class shower and toilet block, dog- friendly, and I could go on and on.... I would only say there is the facility to charge mobile devices, but little or no phone signal on the actual site, but you can pick it up by moving about if you are desperate!! We would thoroughly recommend this site to anybody, don't hesitate to book!

    Fantastic location away from it all This campsite it truly amazing. You have a choice of whether to set up camp in the wood or the field next to it. There were only three tents there when we visited and it felt like we had the wood to ourselves! There are lots of little clearings and benches and tables dotted round and there are plenty of fire pits and bbqs to borrow. At only £20 per night its a bargain. The toilet/shower facilities are incredible - so clean and well maintained with lovely little touches like nice hand soap and bug spray to borrow, and washing up liquid and bowls to use outside . I especially liked the big box of blankets available to borrow to keep you snug in front of your campfire! There are only two toilets and two showers for each sex so I can see this could get busy if the campsite were full, however we had no problems at all. This campsite really has thought of it all. There are plenty of walking maps to borrow and even a shelf of books. It's an incredible little place with at least two lovely country pubs in walking distance! The only problem we had was trying to pay as its cash only and we saw no-one that worked there during our stay! However we managed to sort this, but maybe a tip for the management might be to install an honesty box or something in the reception area so people can post money for logs etc in there?! Brilliant place, highly recommend!

    Shhhh.... keep it to yourself! This was our third visit to the wonderful Newbourne Woodland campsite. We stayed in Kingfisher Cabin, which is an amazing glamping habitat. Jen and Larry (the owners) have thought of everything, down to the tiniest detail. They'd even ordered fabulous weather for the bank holiday so that we could sit on the new decking over the lake and read our books, that's if we weren't watching the family of ducks sploshing around or seeking the elusive kingfisher. It's relatively private and secluded, just the odd tent in sight. There's a real toilet...(glampers will understand the term 'real', being added!), along with a lovely hot shower. The kitchen is well equipped, a fridge with ice box, cooker, microwave and kettle. I challenge you to want for anything, pots and pans, cutlery and utensils, tea, coffee, oil and seasoning, scales and jugs, pretty little egg cups (which I insisted in using on our last morning despite the fact my husband doesn't even like boiled eggs! The lounge area has books and scrabble, along with a new addition, a tv/dvd player. There are plenty of blankets and a wood burning stove to keep you cosy, along with electric heaters if the great British weather decides to frown upon you. On the large decked area there's a BBQ with utensils in the dining area to the front of the cabin. Beyond the decking there is also a fire pit, which the visiting pheasants seemed quite curious about. Supplies had been .... ummmm....supplied!, special offerings of milk, eggs, tomatoes, jam, chocolates, wine, bread and butter. Our dog was as welcomed as us, with a bowl of water and a jar of snacks all ready for our arrival. There are some amazing walks in the area, each one leading to a pub! We parked behind the Maybush (just £1 for 3 hours) and walked along the river, returning some hours later for a well earned liquid refreshment. Can't wait to return to this fabulous place.

    Fantastic stay! This campsite has an incredible setting with lovely views and peaceful environment. The hosts are great and what I found most helpful was how they intentionally set a tone of respecting other campers. The facilities are really clean and they have thought of everything, more than we expected!

    Lovely campsite. Lots of room, toilets and washing up facilities exceptional. They have thought of everything. Setting is wonderful. Dogs were welcome and there was even a treat tin for them, We did a lovely walk to Waldringfield and dinner in The Fox pub nearby. I don't go camping very often but this experience has made me want to go more.

We've already got our next trip to Kingfisher cabin booked and I can't wait to go back.I'm also sure that in future we will also camp there. Newbourne Woodland Campsite is such a lovely, well taken care off site. Jen and Larry are also very pleasant and helpful.

    a camping treasure, gem of a place, away from it all and with excellent facilities This is an wonderful destination. Easily accessible, yet when you get there a haven of peace and tranquility. It's wonderful to camp and know that you won't be surrounded by caravans and campervans as big as small houses, no vehicles, no noise, no pollution. A vast site, but the policy of restricting the numbers means that it is never crowded. With this comes a modern and scrupulously clean toilet bock, a freezer and a fridge and a place to charge electical equipment. What else can you possibly want. We're in danger of always choosing to go there, other sites never reach the same level of satisfaction.

    Little gem of a campsite, everything has been well thought through and carefully provided for. Clean efficient showers and even hot water bottles, spare blankets and insect spray should you need any/either (nice touch). Efficient washing up facilities with scourers etc. Wood burners and BBQ's available to use with a reasonable charge for wood and charcoal which is plentiful and conveniently supplied. Small on-site shop which had most of the basics necessary. An all round well organised and efficiently run camp site.

    Highly recommended! Me and a friend have just returned from a 3 night stay at Newbourne Woodland Campsite, and it was by far the best camp site we've been to! We were welcomed upon arrival by Jen and beautiful Barney the resident dog! They have thought of absolutely everything on site, from the elephant shed where campers can chill out together in front of a fire, to the phone charging point, to the free fire pits and barbeques! The toilet block is amazing too, it's a real touch of luxury which is always nice when camping! (especially when it rains and you're covered in mud!). The owners have even included little extras like bug spray, sting cream and boxes of blankets and sleeping bags if you've forgotten yours or you're chilly! We brought my dog along which I highly recommend doing as the area is so dog friendly (make sure to go to Sizewell Beach with your canine friend if you get the chance!) she loved camping and playing with Barney. The site is adults only which was excellent as it was always so peaceful and everybody was so friendly, and no screaming kids! Yay! I definitely recommend this camp site to everyone - I cannot fault it in any way. If you don't chose to visit you are missing out!

    Jen and the team really know what they are doing There is a confidence to this campsite, borne out of people who clearly have a great plan and have been inspired enough to see it through. The facilities are excellent, but it is the maturity of the offering which sets this place apart. It is peaceful, everything works and you can do your own thing. We stayed in one of the two cabins - the quality of the accommodation is very high, the outlook is wonderful and you have everything you might need for a digital detox. Wonderful value and a great getaway. We will return.

    First time in a hammock Last week I bought myself a camping hammock and wanted somewhere to try my hand at hammock camping. After a little searching on the interweb I cam across Newbourne Woodland Campsite and their facebook feed said that they had a spare pitch as someone had gone home so I gave them a call and booked my pitch.. The campsite was very easy to find and we were met at the road by the proprietors (they have the house over the lane from the site). Jen came over and from our vantage point above the site she pointed out where everything was and then left us to it... Having parked up we went for a walk around the site we selected a suitable pitch in the woods where I could sling my hammock and my wife could pitch her tent. With everything set up we set about relaxing and taking in the peace and quiet. The facilities on site really are first rate, the toilets were clean and tidy, there were fridges and a freezer that you can use. Somewhere to charge your phone (not that you'll get a signal there), fire bowls are provided and even a covered barbeque. But that was not all, what really struck me was the attention to detail the owners have shown.. in the toilets there were two large boxes containing blankets that you can use if it gets too cold for you. There was insect repellent available to use and a lot of information in a "tourist information" hut by the main entrance. The site was very clean and tidy and looked well looked after. Everything worked as expected. True to their word, one price of £20 per night covered everything except firewood that was available at a good price of £5 per crate of logs.

    Unable to head any further afield for my annual cycle camping trip this year, I wanted somewhere different, quiet scenic clean and friendly. This campsite appeared to offer all of this.An adult only site that is very dog friendly, which was no problem at all, the site and facilities are pristine and idyllic if you need a rural digital detox.Numbers are always kept low and due to Covid were even lower when I visited. Jean and Larry place campers experience over profit it seems and this is clear in all that they do to make your stay a positive experience.I will definitely return and in all honesty, I can’t wait.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay here, the owners couldn't do enough for us with the offer of hot water bottles and extra blankets if needed. As for the actual site, the facilities are amazing, the shower block and washrooms are all brand new and the spec on the inside is amazing with only the best of everything from the porcelain down to the hand soap! There are plenty of plots, both under cover of trees or in the open, and if the weather is poor there's a sizable shelter with tables and seats. So many extras here, too many to list..... Highly recommended, definitely worth a visit.

    The perfect, chillaxing getaway! We stayed here for ten nights recently, attracted not only by the location but the fact that it was an adults only site and was "dog friendly". When we arrived we fel instantly relaxed and were looking forward to the days ahead. The setting was "heaven", so much space and so tranquil. The owners advised, in the information hut, that we should select a spot and pitch up and they would catch up with us shortly. We did just that and immediately felt at home. The shower block was superb...always clean and with those extra touches such as insect repellant, a hairdryer and kettle should you require them. There was the loan of firepits and charcoal available made on site. The information hut offered details of local attractions and even had local walks written up to take with you. A handy little shop and within walking distance to The Fox, a fabulous local pub. We met some lovely people and had a fabulous stay. Thank you Jen, Larry and Scoobs!

    What a wonderful place this is! Adults only! Stayed for a couple of nights. Have camped all my life but never in the woods. Nice old fashioned camping but with some luxury too! Toilets/Shower were fantastic, blankets to borrow if it got chilly and sleeping bags if you forget yours! Fridge and freezer and plugs to plug your phone charger into. Undercover communal area with a log burner to keep warm when its rainy... Fire pits and wood so you can enjoy an open fire. No children but dog friendly which suited us!!! Jen was friendly and very helpful, suggested dinner in The Fox down the road - What a wonderful meal.... An escape from reality and back to basics. Loved it - will be back x

    What a gem I recently stayed in the Kingfisher Cabin which is located in the Newbourne Woodland Campsite. The cabin itself was very well put together. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were modern and had everything we needed to self cater (except maybe a toaster but the grill served us well!) The campsite was absolutely lovely and Larry and Jen made us feel very welcome. I would thoroughly recommend the campsite and also the Kingfisher cabin if you didn't fancy camping.

    Where do I start! ||||This place is so lovely, from the very start the owners made us feel welcome and and they were so laidback. You can pitch where you like and once saying hello you are sent off to find your spot. ||||The grounds were tidy and just beautoful - and it was lovely to have the option for either meadow or woodland camping! We chose the woods - which worked nicely for us as we were close to the facilities and love wildlife! Which if you do love wildlife it is incredible for!|||| We had a couple pheasants that wandered around our camp every day we named the fella Phillip lol. Deer, rabbits everything! We see the lot - and I see a review about bringing ear plugs as the sounds of the birds start very early! But dont be fooled into thinking its overbearing - the sounds of the birds were beautiful and was amazing to fall asleep to them all saying goodnight and again in the morning! ||||The toilets/shower block was very clean and tidy and the showers were incredible! I didn't ever want to get out! Me and my partner loved all the little extras like the hot water bottles (which saved us at night time!) and blankets etc. ||||There is also a fridge and a charging station which we wasnt pepared for so was such a lovely touch! It was super quiet when we went with only 2 other pitches when we arrived and it was the perfect time for peace and some tranquility! ||||Our car even broke down and the owners were more than helpful - allowing us to park outside their home and checking on us.||||An amazing adults only getaway and me and my partner will most definetly be back again not only for camping but for the cabins too!

    Outstanding campsite amazing facilities very well thought and maintained. Five stars for the showers don't quite adequately give an idea how good they are. The whole site has quirky but tasteful features. The shop is a veritable Aladdins cave. I have never been anywhere with as much space. Had a couple of very nice evenings in the elephant shed when is was raining it was more like being in the himalayas than Suffolk. It is well located for both walking and cycling. There are also loads of stalls outside peoples houses selling local produce. Definitely want to come back.

    luxurious peaceful bliss! We stayed in their Kingfisher Cabin for 3 nights with our dog. The owner Jen couldn't have been more wonderful, she'd thought of everything, torches, dog poo bags, information on dog friendly beaches and beautiful walks, bug spray and even antihistamine cream! Upon arrival we found a welcome basket with bread, butter, Jam, milk and tomatoes. There was even a bag of ice in the freezer. This is an adults only campsite, with only 25 pitches, some of which are in woodland. The shower and toilet block were totally luxurious and there was also another little cabin which could be rented. This is highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.

    There’s nothing not to love about this place The reviews really aren’t wrong, this place is special. It’s a beautiful setting with generous pitches. The shower block is the best I’ve seen on a campsite - the posh hand wash is a lovely touch. An on-site shop if you forget something, and Jen is a great host - super quick to reply to emails and available if you need to contact her during the stay. Remember to bring bug spray if you tend to get bitten, and I’d definitely suggest ear plugs at this time of year - the dawn chorus really gets going at about 5am. The one thing I was apprehensive about was not being able to listen to some music (as I have it on pretty much all the time at home), but I really didn’t miss it. The fire, star-lit skies and sound of owls calling made for the perfect evening. In short, everything is really well thought out to set you up for a relaxing stay. If you want some peace and quiet, then I’m sure you’ll love it. We’ll certainly be back.

    This is a small, peaceful campsite that is adults-only. You can pitch on the grass areas or under the trees. You're not allowed to drive to your pitch - you park up and use their wheelbarrow to transporter kit. This keeps the site really tranquil. Shower block is lovely and clean. I really can't find anything negative to say at all.

    Loved this campsite. We’re cycling on tour and so good to have a campsite that isn’t a giant car park. Cars and vehicles are provided with wheelbarrows to carry their gear to the camping area. Makes the area so much more enjoyable without people driving around where your sleeping. Get some exercise too. I’m always amazed how much junk people take camping with them. Site toilet Bloch is wonderful and new spacious ,clean ,well appointed . We had a fire pit and camped near the woods and had the place pretty much to ourselves. Used one of the dinning tables dotted about. Owner was very helpful and relaxed.

    a quick escape How lucky we were to find this delightful campsite. Very peaceful and you can pitch your tent anywhere in the woodland or open field.The showers and toilet facilities are immaculate, bar-b-qs'or fire pits are there for your use, and it is great to smell woodsmoke in the evening and adds flavour to ones last cup of cocoa. Everything was spot on!. Would confidently recommend.

    Second visit to Newbourne campsite. The first being in 2021. This campsite is just as brilliant as we remembered and it was lovely to share it with our friends who also loved it. |The site is spacious and has different levels and trees to make it feel really private. There’s space in the field or in the woodland. The tents aren’t on top of each other and everyone respects each others space because you get to choose your spot. The scenery is beautiful too and it’s perfectly located with lots of walks with pubs along the way. Would highly recommend the maybush inn. It’s adults only so lovely and quiet and everyone is respectful of noise. The fire pit was a highlight on one of the nights as it was a bit chilly. The shower block is always clean and tidy and calming. Jen the owner has really paid attention to detail on this campsite and there is a little shop for emergency bits if needed. We would highly recommend to campers wanting some peace and relaxation whilst camping. This really is a little haven, we will definitely be back. Thank you!

    Our weekend escape Our first visit to this beautiful campsite. It was the 'adults only' (no kids) that first drew us to this place. Very tranquil and peaceful. We were greeted by Jan, very nice lady and her enormous dog Barney (gentle giant). We were told we could pitch our tent anywhere and that nowhere was off limits. In the forest was lovely but we wanted to be in the sun so pitched just on the edge of the forest. Toilets and showers very clean, insect spray available to use just in case you forgot yours. Lovely little communal covered area in case of rain with log burner. A real gem this place. Lets hope it doesn't get so popular that you won't be able to get on here as it only has 20 pitches. Will definitely be back. Thanks Larry & Jan, see you again soon From Paul & Paula

    Short, relaxing break We were looking for a dog friendly campsite where you could have a fire. Newbourne ticked those boxes and so much more! A choice of woodland or field, excellent showers (I mean really excellent). fire pits, bbqs, phone charging point, fridge and freezer. Quiet and peaceful. A good little information cabin and a camp shop for essentials. Jen was very friendly and helpful but unobtrusive. I would definitely recommend this site!

The seaside is not too far either and had a nice stroll in Felixstowe and Aldeburgh. The cabin is really comfy and the wood burner inside is priceless!

Delightful setting in woodland or on the field, 5 star facilities,freezer and charging points, a small shop for all your needs, lovely owners who take pride in the site, you can pitch where you like and even when it's full it doesn't feel busy as there is so much space.... oh and it's adults only. There's also two cabins if you feel like treating yourself, well hidden from us campers and with lovely views.

A very pleasant and friendly host. You can pitch where you like, on the grass or woods, it’s nice not to see any children during the summer holidays. Very peaceful and tranquil setting, you’ll go back to work very relaxed even with a weekend break here.Would highly recommend. We’ll be back!

    What a gem of a place! It’s hard to know where to begin describing this fabulous idyllic place. Driving through the village you immediately get a sense of what’s to come, residents have barrows set up selling home grown produce, everyone gives way down the single lane and as far as you can see it’s just beautiful farmlands. On my arrival Jen (the owner) came out to greet me and directed me to Cherry Tree Cabin. No 15 minute lecture about rules and regulations just basic information and a request to relax and enjoy. A short walk through the woods revealed the most amazing accommodation. Wheelbarrows are available to transport your gear. A very spacious one room cabin with 2 single beds awaited me with plenty of places to hang your clothes, an abundance of blankets and lovely little touches like pictures and tapestries which make the place very unique and homely. There is an outside kitchen with 2 gas ring burners and every cooking utensil you could think of. There’s a table and chairs on the deck and then down a couple of steps to the fire pit and another couple of relaxing chairs. The view is breathtaking overlooking the water meadow and within 5 minutes I had seen my first herd of about 5 deer. There’s no electricity which makes it even more special but there are loads of candles which light up the cabin and plenty of solar lights outside. There’s a small electric fan heater type of thing which just took the edge off the chilly nights. The facilities at this site are second to none! You can pitch your tent wherever you like, be that on the open grass or nestled away in the woods. There are BBQs and fire pits to use, logs and home made charcoal are available at a small cost. The shower/toilet block is the cleanest and the most well thought out I have ever seen. There’s hand soap,cream, electric points, a hairdryer and a kettle. Together with blankets and insect repellent. Showers are on a push timer but were spacious, strong and hot! There’s a communal undercover area which houses fridge/freezers and an electric box to charge your phone. Washing up bases were also fully equipped with washing up liquid/sponges/clothes and lovely hot water. The camp runs on trust and honesty, how refreshing in this day and age! there’s a small shop just up by the main house which has everything you might need or have forgotten, take what you want and jot it down in the book, settle up when you leave! there’s a pub in the village but I didn’t visit. But the nature reserve just passed it is beautiful, saw my first muntjac deer! Nearby there’s Woodbridge and Wickham Market which are quaint little towns full of quirky little shops and Felixstowe beach was about a 15 minute drive, if you can drag yourself away from the peace and tranquility of the camp that is! I travelled alone and I felt very safe. It really was the perfect retreat to have some quality ‘me’ time, there is something very cathartic about sitting outdoors in front of a roaring fire listening to the wildlife (owls, foxes, deers, birds) I stayed for 3 nights but 4 or 5 would’ve been ideal. I will definitely be back next year! Thank you Jen and Larry for the most wonderful few days! You have got this absolutely spot on!

    Fabulous What a fantastic find, beautiful tranquil surroundings, walk to the pub. The owners couldn’t be more accommodating, they have thought of absolutely everything, down to blankets,hot water bottles, hairdryers, kettle in the shower block .Five star loos/showers. Despite no electric hook up there are charging facilities for your phones , fridge , freezer ,all at no extra cost. BBQs and fire pits to borrow, logs for sale (very reasonable) and an amply stocked shop with fresh bread etc to order. Loads of local information available . They’ve missed nothing and we will definitely return for another wind down. 😀😀

    Wonderful campsite, peaceful setting. An excellent campsite with a mixture of open grass fields and shaded woodland - approx. a 70%-30% split. The site is run by Jen and Larry who were always very helpful and friendly, as were their pet labrador and cat. The site is very much managed in a trusting and non-invasive manner, which made for a relaxing atmosphere and a nice change from having a list of rules to digest as at other sites. The pitches are large and undefined and there was no sense of overcrowding even when it filled up at the weekend. Fire pits and BBQs were available to use at no extra cost, as were spare blankets if required when the nights turned chilly. The facilities were very good with showers, toilets and washing-up areas being spotless. A small hut on-site served as an information hub and provided details of countless walks in the area. Also available was a small shop that stocked a wide range of essentials from freshly laid eggs & milk, to marshmallows & beer/wine (essential companions for the fire pits). The site is well positioned to explore Suffolk and we particularly enjoyed the coastal fringe, while Felixstowe provided a typical British seaside resort setting.

The shop is well stocked & fairly priced, BBQ’s & fire pits to use and all you need to cook & keep warm. Showers & toilets were clean at all times (2 night stay) and the fridge freezer & charging point we’re perfectly added conveniences. Just heaven.

    Beautiful Cabin in the Woods This is the 2nd time my Husband and I have visited this lovely site. We went last month for a whole week of relaxation. Whilst we were there we watched with interest a lovely cabin being built and decided then and there we would be back once it was finished. We have been watching Newbournes Facebook site avidly and we're delighted to discover the cabin was free this weekend. Newbourne is an Adults only Camping site with pitches in the wooded area and also on grass. We loved the idea that we would not be disturbed by boisterous children. You are allowed to have a fire in one of the provided fire pits and there are free BBQs to use as well. You can bring your own wood or pay a reasonable £5 for a crate of Firewood. The Shower block is Beautiful with plenty of hot water free of charge.There are blankets and sleeping bags to use in case you forget yours and Mosi spray to use after your shower. Opposite the shower block there is a beautiful area called the Elephant Shed which has fridges and a freezer to store all of your fresh food. There is a phone charger in this area where for £1 you can charge your phone. There are also tables and chairs a BBQ and a Heater for cold days. We camped last time and loved lying in our tent listening to the birds and wildlife. So let me Describe the Cabin it is one of 2. Ours was Called the Cherry Tree and is painted a Pale Green colour. It has a lovely large wood decked area to sit out and enjoy the Beautiful View. There is a BBQ and a brick built fire pit. Inside the Cabin are 2 Single Beds. They were pushed together for us though. You have to provide your own bedding and pillows but that's no problem. There is Crockery ,Cutlery and Glasses provided for use with the BBQ. We brought our cooker and camping kitchen with us and it was a lovely home from home. The cabin is very tranquil and furnished beautifully as you can see from my photos. I would recommend this wholeheartedly to anyone who likes the idea of camping but doesn't wish to sleep in a tent.

    Relaxed Easter break This is a fantastic site to get away from everything. You can pitch so you feel completely secluded and relax listening to the wildlife around you. At dusk the birds treat you to an amazing evensong and as night falls the owls crying through the trees is just amazing. There is great walking to be had during the day with the estuary at Waldringfield nearby and some excellent pubs if you don't feel like cooking. The toilet and shower facilities are better than my own at home with great touches like a hairdryer in the ladies, bug repellent, hand creams and the like and for those chilly evenings a box of blankets and hot water bottles to keep you snug. The addition of a small shop is great for when you run out of essentials. All in all a fab, friendly site.

    A real hidden gem! What a beautiful little campsite! From the warm welcome by the friendly owners to the excellent shower & toilet facilities this really is one of the best sites I've stayed on. Although we only stayed one night therefore didn't take advantage of the free fire pit or barbecue we certainly will next time we visit. Pitches feel secluded due to the woodland setting and as an adults only site it's perfect for some quiet down time. Really looking forward to going back :)

    Fantastic week as always here, we keep coming back because it's so damn good! The good points: excellent showers, loos and washing up facilities.Loads of space for you to pitch where you like, shade, sun, forest, field, the choice is yours. Amazing peaceful views, just greenery and birds. You can have camp fires in most pitches, which you can buy their wood for which is very reasonably priced. They make their own charcoal which is also very reasonably priced. Fridge, freezer, phone charging, showers all free. The owners are absolutely lovely. Tents and adults only, quiet after ten. There's now a little shop added, all the essentials can be found. They even provide washing up liquid and bug cream to share. Which brings me nicely to the bad point: Bugs! They are a complete pain and we were bitten lots, but they have provided bite cream, spray to kill them if they are in your tent, and spray to put on you to keep you bite free. So keep the mesh zips done up all the time to keep the buggers out, think about where you pitch (they are worse in the wood and near the water), and take your own bug stuff so you can cover yourself in it in the comfort of your tent. It's the only downside to the site and it's worth it.

    A peaceful escape from the stresses of modern life, with nothing but birdsong as a soundtrack. Camp in the woodland or in the fields, borrow fire pits and BBQs for free (just pay for logs/charcoal). Hot showers, proper toilets, even a hairdryer and hot water bottles. Small but well-stocked shop for all the essentials - the lovely owners have thought of everything.

    Great cabin and camping !! Me and the other half first went here to see if she would like camping ? Well after we left! She had to admit she loved it 😄 The facility's here are amazingly clean and every think is thought of around the site. Free fire pits to use round your tent BBQs to use if you don't have your own ,blankets you can borrow for chillie nights. You can pitch where you like in the field or the woods and there is a lovely shelter you can sit and watch the world of birds and wildlife playing across the adjacent fields. We also have stayed in the cabin for a long weekend again was amazing candles everywhere so the fiancé loved it. If you love being outside this place is a must no doubt you will see us here a few times over the summer we love it here.

    Digital Detox in Serene Suffolk As soon as you turn off the main roads and head down the single track roads leading into Newbourne , away from manic full speed everyday life, you physically feel the weight of modern day living drain away. En route to the campsite you can spot Idyllic little churches nestled in woodland, a very welcoming country pub ( a little too welcoming!) , friendly locals who are more than happy to pull over to let you pass and wonderful fresh produce in stalls at the side of the road with honesty boxes for your cash ( a nod to the Parish's Land Settlement roots). The jewel in Newbourne's crown however is this woodland campsite. We were immediately welcomed by Jen who made us feel at home straight away, not like just another visitor. We were staying in Kingfisher Cabin and I cannot rate this highly enough! A delicious welcome hamper and freshly picked woodland flowers awaited us with facilities and linen far superior to many hotels I have stayed in! Clean, roomy and fresh, extremely well equipped with fridge, freezer,power shower, gas cooker, loo, inside log burner, sofas , sheepskin throws , handmade rugs , fluffy white towels and locally made soaps...There were even dog treats and fresh water down for our one "well behaved dog"! Outside is a railed decking area overlooking the large pond, a beautiful spot to sit at the bistro table watching the wildlife and birds whilst sipping your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. A Weber BBQ and built in fire pit with rattan style chairs complete your outdoor experience...Oh and they even make their own charcoal for use on the BBQ! If you have forgotten anything, there is an open all hours well equipped, well priced camp shop too with anything from sun cream and cold beer to dog food and burgers...They really have thought of everything here.( Oh, and even if you're staying in Kingfisher Cabin, do take a peek at the loo and shower block..I have never seen anything like it on a campsite...would put many a hotel to shame!) But the overriding feelings, the ones that got us staying an extra night before begrudgingly heading off home to go to work, are of tranquility, calmness and serenity. This is a must visit location and we will most definitely be returning very very soon.

We loved the quiet break outdoors and a benefit is that it is adults only so it’s perfect for couples/friends!

    Wonderful campsite This is such a lovely campsite! Very spacious pitches with lots of privacy. You have the choice of an open field area or the wooded area. We chose a clearing in between the pine trees, with an amazing view. We loved the fact that you're allowed to have a barbecue in front of your tent. There were plenty of barbecues and firepits on loan available. Logs and charcoal are on sale on site. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The washing, toilet and showering facilities were excellent. There is a very useful shop where you can buy fresh eggs, bread, drinks, camping supplies etc. There is a communal fridge/freezer and a phone charging point. When you're interested in walking, the information hut is very useful. There are plenty of local walks printed out for guests (we really enjoyed the Woodbridge riverside walk). Even though the campsite was fully booked, it felt really peaceful and tranquil. Highly recommended!

    Best facilities ever experienced! I can only really echo what others have said about this fantastic campsite. The facilities really are the best we've ever experienced while camping - they are spotlessly clean and contain everything you need. Sleeping bags and blankets, bug spray, hand cream, plug points, fridge/freezer, free fire pits. The owners are friendly and helpful. Love having the choice of camping in the wood or in the open. Couldn't fault this site. The location is great - thoroughly recommend the Suffolk Coastal Route cycle ride which uses the National Cycle Route 41 and 1. Also, massive Tesco at Martlesham, a short drive away, for essentials like Adnams ale.

    Hammock camping paradise Wow! What a wonderful place. I don't know where to start! The shower blocks are epic easily the best I've seen on a camp site. The whole place has a real feeling of serenity and you can't beat sitting around a camp fire at night, the fire pits and BBQ's are a real nice touch. The camp shop fee range eggs were delicious and went down a treat for breakfast! They seem to have thought of everything and the little touches are what really makes it special. Jen was very welcoming and we'll definitely be back soon.

    Best campsite we have stayed in! Wow! Where do I start! Everything about this campsite was perfect, we have stayed at a lot of campsites, but this was definitely our favourite! Easy to book, instant reply to emails, friendly, helpful welcome as soon as we got there and throughout our stay. There is also a little information shed with maps and leaflets for the local area. Plenty of parking and wheelbarrows to transport your belongings from car to pitch. Stunning campsite where you get to choose from a woodland, meadow or next to pond pitch. We loved that it was adult only (dogs allowed) and the tents aren’t squeezed in, so plenty of space for everyone. Benches scattered around the campsite are very handy, running water in the meadow which you can drink from. A handy covered area where you can charge your mobiles and a fridge/ freezer to put your food in - even bags and a marker pen to write your names on. Plentiful free fire pits, BBQ’s and stands are available, and logs, charcoal and kindling are available to purchase. There is a little shop that has all the essentials you need including food, alcohol, toiletries etc. On to the toilet and shower blocks - absolutely spotless, and like something you would find in a good quality pub, rather than a campsite! Love the added touches of the radio playing, hairdryer, quality soap, hand dryer, warm blankets, hot water bottles and a kettle for if you get cold in the night. There are two large washing up areas with washing up liquid, clothes and scourers. Plenty of bins around the campsite including recycling bin. There is a lovely picturesque country pub about a 25 minute walk away serving food. Every little detail had been thought of to make the perfect, relaxing stay. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back very soon! Thank you so much.

    4 night stay We originally booked for 3 nights but decided to stay the extra night. The campsite is beautiful and the owners are very welcoming and helpful. The toilets are clean and the washing up facilities are great. There are extra blankets and even hot water bottles for cold nights. We used the fire pit for 3 nights and there is plenty of wood to purchase at a cost of £5. There is a little shop on site to purchase food and drink. We will definitely be back again.

    Second trip This is our second stay at newbourne, first time we camped this time decided to stay in cherry tree cabin as it was our first trip as husband and wife (we got married on the Monday) stayed for 3 nights from Wednesday. The cabin was romantic as it had no electric and was lit by candlelight. The Wednesday absolutely chucked it down but made no difference to us. Toilet and shower block were 5* absolutely clean and had extras ie blankets, insect repellent if you had forgotten yours. Lovely and peaceful and not a million miles away. Will be returning

    Felt a bit pricy when booking but once on site realised we were at a triple A facility and worth every penny! Very well run site with a variety of secluded and open spaces to pitch. Toilet block modern and immaculate and the little honesty shop was well stocked with everything we needed to supplement our own supplies. The wheel barrows to haul your camping gear from the car park, the multiple drinking water points , the fridge and charging points and the many picnic benches were really handy and we loved the elephants (see photos)!

    A beautiful place - away from it all An amazing chance to camp in the woods. There are no limits or restrictions to where you can pitch your tent. You are surrounded by christmas trees. Walk around and find your own little niche and pitch your tent. Grab yourself a fire pit and a BBQ, and settle in. Watching the sun go down, and seeing all the little fire pits lighting up the woods is a sight to see. Being woken in the morning by all the different birdsong is something to experience. Beautiful shower and toilet block, an elephant barn equipped with fridge and freezers and somewhere to charge your phones if you need them! Once visited, you will go back.

    Beautiful location with great facilities. I have stayed at Newbourne Woodland Campsite a few times now and absolutely love it! It is an adult only site so is great for a getaway with the husband and friends. Beautiful grounds and the facilities are brilliant. The toilets are always lovely and clean and the shower is to die for! Free use of barbeques and fire pits is a wonderful idea and you can buy a crate of logs at a very good price. There is also use of a fridge, a freezer and a phone charging point in a communal area which all make this a fantastic place to camp! We will definitely be coming again and again!

    Amazing facilities & so peaceful I joined my family camping for a few nights at Newbourne and can't recommend enough! The facilities are absolutely amazing (probably the best we have encountered at a campsite!) there are fridge/freezers available, a phone charging point and benches/tables available for guests use. The toilet and shower block is very well maintained and cleaned to a very high standard, there are waterfall showers which are heavenly after a busy day sightseeing. There is also a kettle in the bathroom (perfect for hot water bottles on an evening!). The campsite is located in a quiet peaceful landscape surrounded by fields and farmland so offers a tranquil getaway from the hustle and bustle! Very enjoyable and peaceful trip- just wish it could have been a longer stay.

    Newbourne Woodland Campsite, Suffolk Thank you to Jenny for a beautiful, peaceful break in Newbourne, Suffolk. The campsite is very well maintained, with clean amenities (showers/toilets are great). We loved the quiet break outdoors and a benefit is that it is adults only so it’s perfect for couples/friends! The on site mini shop is fantastic for easy/quick buys of food and drink. Many countryside walks and activities to do nearby. Would highly recommend and we would come back, especially in summertime! :) Ozzy and WVWl

    Time stands still in this beautiful corner of the world We have just had our upteenth (lost count now ) camping trip to Newbourne - I probably haven't written a review before because I didn't want our secret super campsite to become too popular , but I cant hold back - if you enjoy the same ingredients as us in a campsite then check out Newbourne - Toilets and Showers, much better than you might find in many hotels ! BBQ's and Fire Pits all free to use, logs to burn just a fiver - the attention to detail is fantastic , fridges and freezers and charging points all included , a safe haven canopy if there is inclement weather with a chiminea & fairy lights , no allocated pitches just find your ideal spot - wheel barrows to help you unload your kit to your pitch - great wash up area - site shop if you have forgotten something - Information office for details of dog walks & things to do in the area - relaxed check in and check out -time stands still , your off grid but not off grid ,everything you could need is close by but not on top of you , you are submerged in the Suffolk countryside and its beautiful - a lovely stroll to a great pub The Fox for a post dog walk pint

    Lovely campsite will definately return! Camped in the wooded area for 2 nights with my partner in August, was made to feel very welcome by Jen and all the fellow campers were very friendly too! Very clean site and love all the little touches, in the mornings there was fresh tomatoes, lettuce etc in a little basket for people to buy which I thought was a great idea! There are blankets in the ladies for you to borrow if you get a bit chilly at night and insect repellent, hand cream etc free to use. If you want to use a hairdryer take one with you as there is a power point in the ladies but no hairdryer. I think this is a great idea as have been to other campsites that do provide hairdryers which you pay for and your money only lasts seconds. The wood crates for £5 each were a great bargain and nice large logs kept our fire going for hours. very peaceful site and lovely sitting around in the evening seeing all the campfires burning and crackling. The elephant shed was very sweet, we didn't use it ourselves but a fab idea! We walked to The Fox Inn pub one day which was a 20 min walk approx. its a lovely pub and great food with very friendly staff, the car park is a little snug when its busy! Along the walk to the pub we came across a little shop selling fresh produce which had a great variety! This was about half way to the pub so about 10 minutes walk from the campsite. There was also a few people selling strawberries, egg's and veg/fruit from their driveways. It isn't a huge campsite but there was plenty of space and although was fully booked did not feel crowded at all. There are 3 main areas, the field, the woods and the wooded clearings, If you want one of the wooded clearings arrive early! Though we preferred the woods. We will definitely return next year and invite a couple of friends along :-)

    High Class Camping We stayed 3 nights in September and had a really good camp. Extremely well run and organised site, friendly welcome. I have stayed in hotels with worse bathroom facilities than these! Good to have option of pitching in the woods or in the meadows. Village is an interesting place, has a pub. No children rule suited us, though obviously wouldn't suit all.

    Stress Buster Wonderful campsite to get away from the world. Choice of woodland glade or pasture field limited to twenty pitches so plenty of space. Have fire pits and BBQ's available. No electric and very limited phone signal makes this the perfect hideaway. Toilets/shower where top class. Need to wheel barrow equipment to pitch but no more than 100-150 yards! Lots of local info available. No kids aloud or big groups so make it very quiet. With lots of background bird call. Great for short break.

    Simply the best woodland campsite! Wow! What a fantastic place! The owners are such lovely people, and they have thought of absolutely everything here. It is dog-friendly, and there were no little children. Once arrived, you can walk about and choose where you want to pitch your tent. The fire pits, barbecues and logs are plentiful. The toilets and showers are better than some hotels and restaurants! There is even "posh" soap and hand cream in the ladies' - as well as a kettle and a hairdryer! There is a covered outside area with a barbecue, fridge/freezer and phone charging point. They also have a small shop on site. It is the best campsite I have been to in this country (and better than several I have been to in France.) We will definitely be returning!

    Really lovely, peaceful, natural site. This site is exactly what they say it is: peaceful, pretty, well appointed and even when it 'filled up ' it remained beautifully peaceful - I say filled but even full the place just swallows up the twenty tents and you wouldn't know it. The free to use fire pits and barbecues - pay for the wood/charcoal you burn - are a terrific touch, particularly as the nights get cooler. The toilets and washing up facilities (with complimentary washing up liquid - nice touch!) are modern and clean and there's a fridge freezer as well. Interesting little shop as well (with cold drinks) and it all works on an honesty basis - write down what you use and pay at the end when you check out. My only criticism is of the taps in the toilets - pretty but completely impractical. 20 minute walk to the village pub (numerous little produce stalls en route) and plenty of places to see nearby. Really lovely site. We'll camp in the woods next time.

Stunning pitches among trees and a well maintained, even, flat field. 5 star shower/toilet block - lots of nice touches like fire pits to use and extra blankets for chilly nights. Very welcoming hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - no wonder they win awards!

    Summer Camp Lovely small and quiet camp where you can put your tent amongst the trees or outskirts - you pick your spot. Immaculate shower block with nice extra thoughtful touches like mozzie spray if you've forgotten yours and blankets. There was a lovely fire burner in a little nook and fire pits you could take to your pitch. Don't forget to take a good light so you can find your back to your tent! The Fox Inn nearby served delicious food, you'll find a money off voucher in the camp info hut which we found after we had rushed out to eat ! Not far from lots of places to visit including Felixstowe for a bit of seaside charm. Needing breakfast, the owner even showed us the way to the Holeshot cafe which is a converted coach!

Wildlife abounds, so relaxing lying in the tent at night listening to the Owls hooting. We even saw a Kingfisher. Jen and Larry make you feel so welcome, we really feel as if we have found a place that we will go back to time and time again. We loved it.

Loved the fire pits, everyone having their own little campfire outside their tent. Campsite was fully booked, and there was still so much space, you could be as secluded as you wanted to be. So peaceful and calming. Will definitely be coming back for more.

Also, the toilet block is one of the nicest I have ever experienced! We didn't take advantage of this but extra blankets and pillows are available should you have forgot any - such a nice gesture. Not a far walk to the farm shop and the local pub which is really warm and welcoming. Will definitely camp here again next summer and will bring our friends!

    If Carlsberg made campsites........................ Actually this campsite is more Stella than Carlsberg! We recently had our third visit to Newbourne and it is simply the best campsite imaginable for a quiet weekend (or longer) away. There's simply nothing not to like! Fantastic loos and showers, peace and quiet, the smell of woodland in the morning, the smell of wood smoke in the evening and plenty of secluded pitches. I'm a little nervous of reviewing the site as the less people who know of the location the better! The Fox pub just down the road may not be the cheapest pub in the world but it's a lovely spot for a meal. For breakfast pop out to the Holeshot Café just down the road and then walk off any excess around the natural springs in Newbourne Village. If you fancy going further afield, take a look at Aldeburgh and enjoy the Suffolk coastline and maybe take a beach stroll along to Thorpeness or Sizewell. Camping as it was meant to be!
