A 5* campsite We have stayed at Newbourne a few times now, and are heading back next month with some friends so they can enjoy it too. The campsite is very well run, nice and relaxed and the perfect place to escape from the bustle of the world for a few days. You have the option to camp in the field area or the woods, both of which are lovely. It can get chilly in the woods in late season so it's nice to have the sunnier option of the fields if you like. There are fire pits for use, garden furniture around the site if you want to a picnic bench to sit at, and BBQs to borrow if you want them. The facilities are out of his world, I never thought I'd look forward to camping because I couldn't wait to use the showers but the wet rooms and rainfall showers are just beautiful. They have thought of all the added extras such as blankets and hot water bottles for chilly evenings, power points and a freezer if you need them, and a little shop for anything you may have forgotten. We love Newbourne and will definitely be returning again next year :)

Absolutely love it here. Such a great setup in such beautiful place. I've been and stayed in one of the lodges of my girlfriend and dog. The area immediately around the lodge was secure for a dog. Plus he could go off the lead outside of that with other dogs that were nearby so it was lovely and friendly. The little shop is great and the owners Jen and Larry are amazing people. We are really well with them. Looking forward to going back again

A beautiful place Just returned from 3 nights in Cherrytree cabin. It was lovely, The setting is so peaceful and beautiful and was fabulous to just sit and be. The cabin itself is well equipped with an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, chairs and table. Inside was beautifully done with lots of candles and solar lights. The beds and mattresses were very comfortable and we slept so well. The toilet block was perfect, the showers luxurious and very very clean. There is a washing up area and the elephant shed with a mobile phone charging point and fridge and freezers for campers use. The owner was very helpful and friendly. A little honesty shop on site was the perfect touch. The site has 2 cabins and pitches for tents. It’s an adult only site with pick your own place to pitch in the woods or field. We definitely recommend and hope to return very soon. Would give more than 5* if I could!!!

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!

Paradise! This is our second time at the adults only woodland campsite. This time we stayed in the cherry tree cabin instead of under canvas. The site is very well cared for, the facilities are spotless and the location is quite and peaceful. Even with the COVID-19 additional procedures in place, our holiday here went without a hitch. The extra touches are really appreciated, and the information about the area, walks and things to do are well thought out.

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!

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.

If you're looking for a peaceful well run campsite you can't get any better than this the campsite consists of open area with small copies of trees and a thickly wooded area....so you can choose where to set up. They never take more than 18 campers so it's never overrun. You can have a firepit and a BBQ all of which are supplied on site along with charcoal and wood which is honesty bound if you use you let them know and I think it's about 8 pounds something of that order we brought our own but you could pitch up with nothing .... there is also a little shop up at the top The showers and ablutions are second to none extremely modern and clean with classic fm playing Just down the road 0.8 mile there is a lively chocolate box type pub called the Fox ..very popular... this is a must visit great food 18 to 25 pounds per person ....and great fun walking back in the dark. I think it's one of the very nicest campsites I've been to over the years.

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.

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.

The best campsite I’ve been to I can’t tell you how amazing this camp site is. If you want to refresh and get away from technology then this is the place to go. Words don’t do it justice nor do they for Jen and Larry who run the campsite. The toilets/showers are in excellent condition with instant hot water and use of a kettle and hairdryer in the ladies. Jen and Larry were very friendly and helpful, making our experience at Newbourne campsite even more pleasant and memorable. The actual campsite itself is visually stunning and you feel so alive and present being in the open fields, especially when the warmth of the sun is beating down on your skin, or just being around the fire pit outside and listening to the crackling and spitting of the fire and watching the flames dance in the dark. It’s a tranquil environment which offers luxury and peace and you truly feel rejuvenated and cleansed after a visit here. Use of bbqs and fire pits are free, you just pay for wood or coal available at the campsite. There is a shop aswell just incase you forget them marshmallows to roast on the campfire at night. The memories I have made coming to Newbourne campsite are everlasting and I couldn’t be happier that we came across such an incredible, beautiful place. It is adults only which gives it even more sense of peace and you don’t have to worry about noise or being disturbed. Lot of love for this place and cannot wait to visit again next year!

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.

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)!

Beautiful relaxing site This campsite is beautifully designed and maintained. I love everything about it. From the wide open spaces, amazing hot showers, hot water bottles and blankets to use. A hidden gem that I was lucky to find. On arrival I was in need of rest and recuperation. This site enables you to digitally detox and be at one with nature. Customers and treated respectfully and the ethos of honesty and trust are a refreshing bonus. Lovely spaces to roam and facilities to use. Even the handsoap is amazing! The honesty shop is well stocked. Attention to detail throughout and immaculately clean. I cant wait to return. My favourite find was the little seat (Joe's place) Thank you Lenny and Jen. See you soon for sure!

relaxing break We camped here for two nights last week, and were really impressed with this site. Yes - it is a little more expensive than other sites but for this you get: to choose where you pitch the tent with woodland options, firepits and BBQs, along with firewood and charcoal they make onsite. The facilities are excellent, with blankets, flyspray and a useful kettle, which came in handy when I was unwell during the night, and needed a quick cuppa. The showers are also great, hot with plenty of hooks to hang clothes etc and if you're tall then you should be happy, as my 6'4" partner was able to stand up straight under it. It was peaceful and relaxing. We loved it and will return.

Had a lovely weekend staying at the Newbourne Woodland Campsite. It's a beautiful campsite with lots of choice of where to pitch - open space, woodland area, more hidden grassy areas. Facilities were kept very clean and the best I've seen on a campsite. Especially loved the spacious showers, full-length mirror and the added touch of a kettle and extra blankets in the bathroom in case you get cold. Jen was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The campsite also had an excellent shop that was stocked with everything you need (and lots of things you didn't realise you needed!) Highly recommend.

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.

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!

This is the best campsite I’ve ever been to so peaceful very pretty and the owner Jen has thought of absolutely everything you could possibly need the on-site shop have every thing you could possibly need when camping and probably forgot. The showers and toilets are like something from a hotel very clean with nice blankets and multiple hot water bottles and a kettle for in case you’re cold on a chillier night. I especially liked the Radio being left on so when you have to go into the toilet in the middle of the night, there’s gentle music playing. And best of all you get to choose where you pitch up on a nice open field or in the more secluded area with trees or even just use a tarp and hammock in the woods perfect getaway.

The Most Perfect Adult Campsite! 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!

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.

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.

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!

A real gem of a campsite! Fantastic time camping in woodland. The pitch itself was so unique and gave the feel of camping in the wild. At the same the facilities were amazing and the free fire pits were a big bonus. There were subtle touches of detail every where you look which made it even more special. What we liked about Newbourne Campsite the most was the lack of signs but the respect and trust everyone had towards the campsite. Says a lot about how amazing the owners are. A real unique gem of a site. We'll be coming again. Rachel and Penny

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

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!

KingFisher Cabin We had a lovely time in the Kingfisher Cabin. We took our German Shepherd with us and went for some lovely walks around the area. 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!

Campsite haven. 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!

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.

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 :)

Best Campsite I've stayed at This was a great campsite in every way. It's adults only which suited us perfectly. It's not overcrowded even when it was full on the last night we stayed. You can chose a woodland pitch or meadow and the views and quiet were lovely. Showers and facilitates are excellent throughout. Can't recommend enough. We will return !!

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.

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.

The little extras make all the difference We stayed for 2 nights as a group of friends. We we arrived there was only one other tent, so we pitched up over looking the meadow. I was surprised to find sturdy benches and tables scattered around for use by campers. We set up, borrowed a BBQ and a fire pit and we were off. The owners sell charcoal from the house and have crates of logs for the fire pit. Loved the little touches in the toilet block. A box of blankets to borrow in case you get cold and bug spray/bite cream for all to use. I also loved that the campsite had a small fridge and freezer to use, also plug sockets to charge phones/lights near the toilets. Loved camping in the woods, gave a good bit of shelter from the light rain. Wonderfully out of the way and very peaceful. Thoroughly recommend and wi certainly be back.

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.

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.

You cannot get better than this So we searched adult only and dog friendly, and this was one of four sites we shortlisted. I am so pleased we went to Newbourne. It is a great site, with mature trees, and wonderful location. A well stocked shop, wine, beer and camping essentials. Great showers and facilities. The owners, definitely know the customer and camping. A pub is walking distance, and the location is great for the Suffolk coast. Yes, I will go again, and repeatedly into retirement. I would have give it 5 if it was not for those pesky biting insects. Take and use plenty of repellent.

What a great place.Firstly arriving at the site the owners are very warm and welcoming, giving you all of the information you need.Once on the site it is outstanding to look at, well kept fields, good amount of trees. Was lovely to stay in a place of such beauty. The choice of where to pitch your tent is probably the hardest decision you need to make.On our stay there was plenty of other campers but no one had any issues with privacy.The washroom facilities were immaculate, with theadded bonus of a few blankets and hot water bottles.I could go on about how good I found this site, but the highest recommendation is that I will definitely go back. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into making a great site.

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.

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 :-)

Loved it. Peace, tranquility. Booked for 3 nights, but the place is so beautiful we stayed an extra night. The toilets and shower block is spotless and deserves 5*. The shop has everything you need, can also order fresh bread. Even a freezer with ice-creams, what more do you need on a hot day and everything is reasonably priced. Very quiet when we arrived, but even with several more campers at the week-end, everyone was so spread about; it was still idyllic for a peaceful camping experience. A lovely village pub is quite close by with good food. Jen has gone above and beyond to make sure there is everything you could possibly need, blankets for a cold night, bug spray, the list goes on. Plenty of information for different walks and places to visit. Can't wait to return.

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!

Back to basics luxury I could never understand why people buy gems only to hide them away in a safe, but this is how I feel about s campsite. I want to keep it to myself. Pitch your tent wherever, light your fire in the fire pits provided, snuggle up warm with extra blankets and take in the views. 5* showers add to the enjoyment. A limited number of dogs allowed and, without wishing to alienate half the population - no children. A great find.

A complete escape We chose this site as it looked like a secluded getaway and we were not disappointed. Find a pitch nestled in the woodlands and set up camp. No cars in the woodland which makes it even more peaceful, wheelbarrows available to move your things to and from the car. Larry, Jen and Barney are friendly and welcoming and make sure you know where everything you need is. There is a great pub serving delicious food a short walk away. There is also a fantastic farm shop with the most amazing burgers on the way to the pub. The coast is a few miles away as are the towns of Ipswich, (lovely docklands area) and Felixstowe with its pebble beach, amusements and traditional beach huts. We also took our 2 dogs who absolutely loved it. Perfect getaway for walking, cycling and just relaxing :-)

Another lovely visit I can honestly say that every time we go to this site we have a great time. We usually stay in Kingfisher cabin and it is the quirkiest and well equipped place I have stayed in. Everything you could possibly need is provided and the welcome pack that Jen provides is more than a welcome pack - eggs, bread, milk, jam, fruit and even a bottle of wine - such slovenly thing to do. And if you forget anything the on site shop will have it or just take a walk down the road and fruit and veg is available on many road side stalls or from the Virginia nurseries honesty shop. The friendliest site I know full of lovely campers and Jen and Larry are the best hosts. Its one of those places you want to rave about but you also want to keep it a secret (if you've been you'll know what I mean. Can't to return.

Fabulous campsite in the heart of Suffolk If you are looking for a quiet site (very few pitches, no children) then this is absolutely fabulous. Despite only allowing a few tents it is a big site with plenty of room. There is camping either in the field or in the woods, and if you don't fancy canvas then there are two cottages. The facilities were vey well presented and immaculately clean with extra touches like a handy little shop, plenty of (homemade) charcoal to buy and barbecues to borrow. Many of the pitches also have fire pits, again with wood available to buy. The proprietors are friendly and approachable and as well as a lovely site have provided lots of information about the local area - I would give this 6 out of 5 if I could.

There is free use of a fire pit and BBQ, wood & charcoal available from the owners at reasonable rates. The owners limit the amount of pitches so there is plenty of space to tuck yourselves away and have some privacy. Wheel barrows are provided to transport your belongings to your chosen pitch. We had such a great time and will be returning very soon. This is a real gem, one that we would like to keep to ourselves but that wouldn't be fair as the owners have put so much effort into it.

Great attention to detail This is a great campsite where the owners seem to have thought of everything. There are plenty of BBQs and firepits available to use, a campsite shop, a choice of either woodland or field camping, great wash facilities (the shower was better than our one at home providing no one was using the one next door!), blankets, a covered seating area, info about walks... the list goes on and on! This was all for a very reasonable price with no extra charges for taking the dog whereas a lot of campsites use this as an opportunity to charge extra. There is also a really good pub in the village that is doggy friendly and does great food :) The only slight downside is that you aren't allowed to take your car to your pitch, although we knew this before booking as it says on the website. Wheelbarrows are provided to cart your stuff however we ended up quite a long way from our car which meant a lot of trekking to and fro (in very unEnglish hot weather!).

An oasis of tranquility I stayed here recently with my partner and we both absolutely loved it. It is a small campsite off the beaten track that combines meadow and woodland, and with the number of guests limited it manages to feel both cosy and spacious. In fact, as you look out over the meadows, hills and woods it is easy to believe that you are camping in open nature rather than on a campsite. There is also a pond hidden by a stand of trees - it was delightful to sit and watch the dragonflies dancing over the water. What we particularly appreciated was the fact that cars cannot drive across the site - you have to park by the entrance and use a wheelbarrow to transport your kit. Being a small site this is not an onerous task, and the lack of cars coming and going creates a real tranquility. The campsite provides barbecues and firepits free of charge (though of course you have to pay for the wood and charcoal, which are very reasonably priced). We loved being able to sit by the fire in the evening, listening to the owls hooting in the distance. The toilets and showers were great, and there is a small shop with a useful selection of goods. The information cabin has a large number of local guides and maps that you can borrow free of charge. Quite simply, I cannot fault this place, and we will definitely be returning in the future.

Lovely place.. Stayed here for one night with my partner and we will definitely be back.. I'm not a seasoned or experienced camper at all, but I know what I need when away and this place is absolutely perfect.. It's one of the best maintained, relaxed and chilled campsites I've been to by far.. It's clearly very loved by its owners, who could be found on site or at their house by the entranceway, with their loyal Labrador, if you needed anything.. When we arrived we found them zipping around the grounds on their golf buggy.. Upon seeing us surveyor the grounds, they immediately came over and introduced themselves, took our details and happily explained where everything was and how it all worked.. And that's in a very relaxed manner.. You could basically pitch anywhere in the open field or wooded area.. Having scouted around we decided on the open field.. There was only one other tent pitched there.. Most other campers had pitched in the woods.. And it's up this end, most of the amenities are: toilet and shower block, sinks to wash up. Communal outside lounge area where there were fridges freezers, phone charging point and a fire place with lit fire.. collection areas for fire pits and barbecues.. and what a choice there was! A number of the barbecues had rotisseries attached to them! Crates of firewood and homemade charcoal could also be collected from here. Ladies toilet and shower block had two toilets and two large wet / dry shower enclosures.. Sinks with an expanse of work surface.. electric points with a kettle, hand driers and lovely large bottle of hand soap. Lovely touch was a box full of blankets and hot waters bottles, with a note saying to take one and not be cold :) Other useful areas on site were the information hut.. Full of information and maps on all sorts of walks, pubs, sites and places to see.. And up by the entrance way and next to owners house was also a shop.. Sad to say we didn't realise this was where it was until we went to leave.. But It had pretty much everything you could think of that you'd need for camping.. kindling, mossie spray, citronella candles.. drinks, ice creams.. food.. a great shop! A the kindling would have made getting out fire going much easier lol.. We stayed at the end of August and the weather was changeable.. Beautiful sunshine on arrival, down pour once tent was up, sunshine.. And it was a misty and cold night.. I woke up and had to put extra layers on to keep warm.. This place it what camping should be.. Not overbooked or overcrowded with pitches everywhere.. It's chilled, relaxed, permits individual fires in designated areas of the site (even in the woods), it has good plentiful supplies of what you need such as fire pits, firewood, bbqs.. Lovely clean facilities and a small shop for those things you might have forgotten or suddenly need.. Can't think of anything the owners already haven't.. Lovely place and we will be back 😁

Amazing campsite. It’s the perfect mix of beautiful wilderness with the comfort of spotless facilities, fridge, charging etc. Such a calm atmosphere that filters from the owners to all the campers on site.Pitches are very spread out and you can pick whether to be in a wooded area or open field. There are picnic benches dotted around to camp next to.Plenty of BBQs and fire pits to borrow, and logs/charcoal available.The toilets/showers were spotless and the fridge was huge, plus plenty of charging plugs for your phone. Not to mention a kettle!Small shop on site had everything from fresh fruit/veg to meat and cheese, plus camping supplies. You could turn up with next to nothing and anything you need there - with very reasonable prices.Every campsite needs to learn from this place. We will definitely be back!

Jay and Asia's 1st anniversary ! 31st AUG 2013 Fantastic, Me and my wife enjoyed our 1st anniversary here ! Greeted by the lovely owners Jen and Larry upon arrival, Made to feel very welcome. Just happened to be evening entertainment the weekend we decided to visit. 4 local guys on acoustic guitars singing classic songs on a trailer late into the night whilst the drinks were flowing, great vibes all around. Half an hour from our front door but felt a million miles away from home.Everything is in close proximity, Accessible parking, a separate field area and lovely pitches for tents, use of wheelbarrows to help get all your camping gear to and from your cars. Great block with showers and great washing up facilities. Proper camping with the option of a shower basically. Lots of lovely farm shops nearby where you can purchase local food and drink to prepare whilst camping and a pub not too far away. Log burners and bbq's to borrow and lots of charcoal and firewood reasonably priced. Every little angle is covered and pre-planned with this site and is a real hidden gem. If you are looking for adult only camping this place will be ideal ! Will definatly be going again.

Kingfisher cabin We stayed in the kingfisher cabin, lovely and unique. Loved everything about it and enjoyed our bbqs on the decking overlooking the resorvior. They are an adult only site which is nice as it was lovely and peaceful. Also dog friendly

Great little campsite Very clean and quiet. Lots of small touches to make camping so much easier like plenty of hooks in large showers, blankets to borrow if you're cold, bug spray, kettle and tables and chairs provided. There's a campers kitchen with phone charging point, fridges and freezer plus seating with candles. All very lovely. This is an adults only and tent only campsite which is rare and much appreciated by those of us who work all year with children and need a quiet break!! The shop has all essentials at a very reasonable price and Jen is really friendly and approachable. Thoroughly recommend this little gem of a campsite.
