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.

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.

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.

August trip Great campsite, in a really peaceful area. The facilities were great, really well looked after. The showers were brilliant, and lovely and clean. Lots of fire pits and bbqs to borrow for the trip, and wood and coals available for reasonable prices. Lots of nooks in the forrest to find an open or more private area to pitch up. will definately be back!!

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.

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.

Bit of a dilemma..... Let me explain. It's one of those places that is so good I kinda wanna scream from the rooftops about how good it is.... But, in doing so may mean we can't get a spot when we want one. So clean, so peaceful, so beautiful, so much space. Just perfect. We couldn't find fault with anything. The folks that run this place have hit the nail right on the head. Well done guys. Make sure you go check it out for yourself. Just remember to leave space for us. 😁

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 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!

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 !!

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.

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.

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!).

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!

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 little secret What a lovely weekend my husband and I had over the bank holiday. We stayed for 3 nights in this lovely secluded little campsite. The free use of a bbq and firepit was great. The shower blocks and washing up facilities are immaculate. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning soon. I just hope the 'secret' does not spread too soon!!

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 .

We stayed for the first time camping in September. First time we took our puppy camping with us. Made to feel welcome from moment we arrived. We've never met such chilled and warm hosts.The area has been set up perfectly, plenty of space and OMG the showers/toilets are outstanding.Opportunity arose this week for us to return to stay in one of the cabins. Again an amazing stay, cabin was lovely, warm and set up for us to have anither great stay.So! If you're looking to get away AND be able to just relax, without being bombarded with rules, then you really have to give this site a go - You will not be disappointed 😊a cosy weekend.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great campsite What a great campsite! Great surroundings and facilties...BBQ's and firepits you can borrow and chopped up wood for £5 per crate. Jen even goes to the effort of leaving spare sleeping bags, blankets and hot water bottles in the ladies facilities. Fridges, freezer and even an electronics charging up box free for people to use. The fellow campers were all friendly and one guy even let us look in the lodge he was staying in. It was lovely. Highly recommend it to anyone - even first time campers.

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!

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

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!

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.

Perfect campsite for grown-ups! We camped here with two friends. The facilities were the best we have seen. The bathrooms were modern and clean, bbqs and fire pits were provided with a small cost for a box of logs. It was peaceful and pretty and the owners were lovely. The little touches such as complimentary blankets in case you are cold, a point to charge cameras, mobile phones, access to a fridge were excellent. Nearby is a farm shop and 'honesty box' stall. We bought most of our food fresh each day.

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!

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.

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.

Very good indeed, lovely location and well-kept facilities. A little on the pricey side perhaps, and there are quite a lot of mosquitoes.

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.

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.

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 :-)

Beautiful site Stayed for 2 nights in early May bank holiday - weather was cold but the site made up for it. 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!

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

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!

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 :-)

I loved the fact she had a information hut on the site with all the places to go visit of days out, near by pubs and local shops and cafe so that you Have plenty to do during your stay. We visited a fort that was only a 15minute drive away and it was a lovely day out. I would definitely reccommend this place for anyway who is looking for a relaxing get away as itt was just lovely to be in the country away from everything.

The best! Quite possibly the best campsite we've ever been to. You can either set up in the open areas or, like us, in the woodland. You can pitch wherever you like, but in order to have an open fire you have to pitch a little way down from the top of the campsite, but that doesn't limit you. Excellent toilet and shower block which is clean and airy. The site is dog friendly and adult only which is great for a peaceful retreat! Great place!

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.

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!

An excellent base for exploring beautiful Coastal Suffolk We camped at Newbourne Woodlands whist re-visiting this beautiful part of the world after an absence of some 31 years. The site was excellent, well-managed with facilities spotless and beyond anything encountered on previous camping trips in the UK. The owners have really raised the bar for campsite standards and we would recomend the site without reservation. I was delighed that the area hadn't changed that much in the intervening years with welcoming pubs and walks along the beautiful River Deben easily accessible from Newbourne Woodlands. A brilliant stay. We will return. Stephen and Sarah Rose Devon

Weekend break We stayed here 5-6 September and had a fantastic time. The campsite is lovely and we pitched our tent in the woodland in a little clearing. There was a pub style bench right by us which made cooking and eating so much easier. Given the chilly weather the complementary blankets and use of a pit pit really made the night fantastic. A lot has been said about the waning and toilet facilities - all I can say is they really are that excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the campsite and the country walks to The Fox Inn and to Waldringfield an the Maybush were great - made easier by the maps provided by the campsite. We shall definately be coming back!

Excellent! We only stayed for one night, as we were testing out some new camping equipment. Greeted by Jen, who was very friendly and relaxed. Pitched the tent and headed to the Fox for a reinvigorating pint! Very nice place, about 25 minutes walk from the campsite. We borrowed a fire pit for the evening which was really lovely. The camp was very peaceful, and everyone seemed friendly. There were a few dogs, which was nice for our puppy Roxanne! Showers and toilet facilities were excellent, very clean and very luxurious for a campsite. All in all, a great stay. Would recommend, and will return!

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

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.

Rural idyll? Tick! Adults only? Tick! Fantastic facilities? Tick! This is the only site that we've visited that we were the ONLY CAMPERS for our 3 night stay this week! We had acres of field and woodland to ourselves! We may be spoilt for our next visit, but this is such a perfect site that it would be great anytime. We chose to pitch in a sunny, grassy clearing between some tall 'Christmas' trees, not far from the Elephant Shed and wash blocks. The whole site is lovingly maintained by Jen and Larry. The excellent wash locks are spotless. The showers were instant, hot and powerful. There is a power point in the Ladies for a hairdryer. There were generous touches; spare sleeping bags, blankets, hot water bottles to borrow. Fire baskets and barbecues were stacked neatly undercover, ready to use. Seasoned wood is only £5 for a big crate and just ask Jen for charcoal. The fridges, freezer and phone charging point were very useful. In the information shed there were mapped walks with printed copies that could be used. There were even discount cards for the local pub! We found the area charming. Quiet villages, great pubs with excellent food. Lots of glass houses growing veg and fruit. Roadside stalls sell seasonal supplies at reasonable prices with honesty boxes. There is even a farm shop within walking distance. The main A12 is easily accessed (but not heard!) for visits to beaches, quaint downs and interesting sites. Probably our new favourite campsite. We'll be back!

Great bank holiday weekend What a great place to stay. The shower block and wash up facilities are of the standard you would expect of a 5 star hotel. The owners really have thought of everything. 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. Plus it's adults only so no kids :-)

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 😁

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely Peaceful Countryside Had 3 days in the country where we dealt with mud and rain on one of the days but was able to enjoy the beautiful countryside for the other days. Campsite is very pretty woodland and has great shower/toilet facilities. There are places to charge a phone and BBQ's and fire-pits are available to use as you will. There is a communal fridge/freezer and also outside sinks for washing up with hot water The owners are friendly and do a grand job keeping the place clean and tidy with a daily routine and are very laid back about running the campsite. The scenery is spectacular and with no children onsite its a relaxing and serene experience. We enjoyed 3 days with our pug who was able to wander freely in the meadow and woodland. The local pub (The Fox in Newbourne) is a 20min walk and does good food and ales for slightly high prices. We visited Woodbridge and Felixstowe which were both nice places to wander and look around in local book and charity shops. The cost to pitch is £25 per night which is higher than most sites but you get a lovely surroundings and really good facilitates, the owners also limit pitches to twenty so it is not overly crowded for washing queues etc. I felt the price reflected the high quality of the site and is well worth the extra few pounds to have a more luxury camping experience without it becoming glamping or losing the rustic, traditional camping ethos.

Newbourne Campsite is one of the best stays in Suffolk, located in a beautiful countryside location. The site is very well looked after with plenty of amenities.Don’t forget to check out the local village fruit/veg stands and pubs!

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.

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!

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.

We simply love this campsite. Very clean, stylish,practical and spacious showers, toilets and facilities with logs for sale, it’s own little honesty shop and wheelbarrows to help lug your stuff. 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!

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.

Perfect First time camping alone and I loved it. I had a great weekend at Newbourne. The site is perfect. Such a great place to "get away from it all" and just relax, unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. After reading the reviews below. I cannot add anything more. Jen and Larry have thought of everything. I have already booked to go again next year.

One of the best campsites we have ever stayed at! We loved the location and enjoyed exploring the many beautiful footpaths around. The site is so beautiful and the hosts have put so much thought into everything, it feels like a privilege to stay there. Perhaps the best recommendation is that we booked again before we left!

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!

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! ;-)
