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!

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.

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! ;-)

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

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

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

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

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 😁

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!

peaceful get away! We recently stayed in the kingfisher cabin which was a relaxing stay. The owner has thought of everything to ensure your stay is to good standard. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Cherry Tree Cabin This is absolutely our favourite campsite and usually we pack our own tent but for the last weekend of the season we decided to treat ourselves to a weekend in the relatively new Cherry Tree Cabin. This is a beautifully laid out and presented cabin with lovely touches such as a mosquito net round the bed, solar candles and comfy beds. There is a nice decked area complete with table, chairs and deckchairs outside leading down to an area with a built in pit fire, wonderful for the chilly late autumn evenings gazing over the meadow watching the stars emerge (if you're lucky enough to need a wee at 3am make sure you look up for a spectacular show of stars when you get to the decking). The very best bit about this cabin is feeling secluded in your own bit of woods listening to foxes barking and owls hooting .... absolutely peaceful and perfect.

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

Peaceful country camping We took the train to Ipswich and cycled to the campsite - it was great! The campsite has lots of choice of pitches and lots of space, in the trees or in one of the clearings, there is a spot for everyone, The facilities are top notch! Really clean and lovely bathrooms and a little shed to hide from the rain along with a fridge/freezer. Not to be missed is the shed of information! Lots of useful things here. The campsite is ideally located, with a fabulous pub nearby as well as a good farm shop for pantry essentials. The wood really is wonderfully peaceful and the owners are so friendly and easy going. Will definitely be aiming to return and would really recommend it - for a country escape from the city, it couldn't be better.

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!).

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!!!

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

We’ve camped around England, Scotland and Wales, and this is the best campsite we’ve stayed at.

And this isn’t even mentioning the beautiful scenery and perfect location of the site. Surrounded my suffolks beautiful countryside and 15 minute walk to a quaint pub. If you’re looking for a peaceful and tranquil campsite to unwind and re charge I recommend you book here. Can’t wait to come back.

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.

Happiness Is Here! We have visited Newbourne Woodland Campsite twice now, once as campers and most recently in Hawthorn Cabin. There aren't enough words to give this gem a suitably glowing review! It is peaceful and tranquil, the number of visitors is kept low and you can choose your pitch- woodland or meadow. The washroom facilities are better than some hotels I've stayed at and the owners really have thought of everything! This time staying in Hawthorn Cabin couldn't have been better. The love and attention that has gone into creating the cabin cannot be overlooked, from the silent fan to the citronella incense sticks everything has been thought of. The owners and their lovely dog Scoobs are a breath of fresh air and so hard working. When staying in the cabin make sure you keep a look out over the meadow for the abundance of wildlife that visit- the binoculars are there for a reason! Covid safety has also been thought of in the camp grounds but not too overbearing, the gentle and thoutful touch- just like everything else at Newbourne! We will be back to visit soon ✨

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Best camping site yet, and I’ve stayed in a few! Fabulous. Hosts (Jen & Larry & dog) have thought of everything. Peaceful, beautiful & truly relaxing. Go, you won’t be disappointed. The shop is well stocked & fairly priced, BBQ’s & fire pits to use and all you need to cook & keep warm. Showers & toilets were clean at all times (2 night stay) and the fridge freezer & charging point we’re perfectly added conveniences. Just heaven.

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.

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.

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!

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

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. 😁

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

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.

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.

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

Lovely quiet and well presented campsite. Good quality shower/toilet facilities, and the availability of blankets & hot water bottles to borrow was a very nice touch on a chilly night, as we were touring on a tandem and travelling light. Free loan of bbq & firepits (just pay for your charcoal etc) was also a bonus along with a well stocked shop on site. Would definitely recommend and will return.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

We will be back.

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.

Jen, Larry, and Scooby the dog made us very welcome, and the place is heaven. So peaceful, the place is definitively made for quiet people. Love the fact you can have a fire, there are no kids, and the showers are amazing!Do not spoil it humans!

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

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

A weekend with nature. Decided to book this campsite because it is dog friendly and liked the idea of camping in the woods and so glad we did. We arrived mid afternoon on Friday and signed in in the information office, grabbed a wheelbarrow and headed into the woods with our tent etc. There's quite a few small clearings in between the pine trees and we soon found one free, even had a water tap. After setting up camp and having a few cold beers we had a little wonder around and everyone seemed very friendly. The shower block and toilets are probably the best I've seen on a campsite anywhere. Nice covered communal area too with fridges and freezer and also power to charge your phone ( not that there's much reception, which is good). We walked to the local pub for dinner and a drink on both evenings with Otis our lab. Saturday we went to old Felixstowe and spent some of the day on the beach. It's only a few miles from the campsite. Sunday we packed up quite early as the forecast was'nt good so unfortunately we had gone by 10 am but we did find 3 natterjack toads had set up camp under our tent! Can't recommend Newbourne Woodland Campsite enough. Thanks to Jen and her husband. Hopefully we'll be back soon. Andrew, Gail & Otis Cunningham.

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

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.

Simply stunning! There is very little I can add to all the fantastic reviews on this stunning campsite, as it's all been said in previous reviews. The owners Jen & Larry are delightful, the setting is to die for, loan of fire pits and BBQ's a great idea. Immaculate facilities, great little shop. There is nothing not to love about this place - this definitely sets the standard for all other sites to aspire to. Can't wait to come back.

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