A lovely couple of nights We stayed here for a couple of nights at the beginning of June and had a really lovely stay. Calm, quiet, relaxed. Clean toilets, showers and washing up areas. Campsite shop very handy. We'll be back to camp again.

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

Just delightful! Just back from a week at Newbourne Woods and its been a complete joy. Very tranquil setting, spacious pitches. Bathrooms are spotless/great showers. Wildlife abounds, so relaxing lying in the tent at night listening to the Owls hooting. We even saw a Kingfisher. Jen and Larry make you feel so welcome, we really feel as if we have found a place that we will go back to time and time again. We loved it.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!! Oh and adults only so nice and peaceful without the 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 😁

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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. 😁

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 :-)

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.

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.

Fantastic This campsite is amazing. Myself, my partner & our friends were made very welcome from the minute we arrived. The shower and toilet blocks are by far the best I have seen at a campsite. The trees give you privacy. The fact there are BBQs, fire pits, a fridge, freezer and a phone charging point all for free shows how much effort has been put into this site. We will be returning in another few months. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Beautiful woodland campsite Had a lovely 2 night stay here. Beautiful setting amongst the wildlife, and perfect facilities - best showers ever! Loved the fire pits, everyone having their own little campfire outside their tent. Campsite was fully booked, and there was still so much space, you could be as secluded as you wanted to be. So peaceful and calming. Will definitely be coming back for more.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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! ;-)

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!

Perfect detox! Our umpteenth stay here and, once again, just perfect! Being Essex based, when I announce that I'll be spending a week of my treasured holidays in Suffolk, in a tent (!), my work colleagues often raise their eyebrows quizzically! Of course, the truth is that you need to go a long way to find such a great campsite, lovely countryside and sea air (just a short bike ride away) within such close proximity of one another. I think the site was full on our arrival, but you'd never know it! Unbelievable late August weather added the cherry to the top of our slow-down holiday! Don't come here if you want clubhouses or to be able to play loud music! However, if your idea of relaxation is spending an evening under a starlit sky and in front of a crackling fire listening to owls calling, this is for you. Whether camping in the woodland or on the open areas, you can be sure that life will feel a little better - even if it rains! Jen and Larry really do run a fantastic site here and I look forward to many more visits. Only one negative - my 'phone actually had improved signal over my last visit! I'll leave it at home next time!

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!

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!

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

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.

Despite no electric hook up there are charging facilities for your phones , fridge , freezer ,all at no extra cost. BBQs and fire pits to borrow, logs for sale (very reasonable) and an amply stocked shop with fresh bread etc to order. Loads of local information available . They’ve missed nothing and we will definitely return for another wind down. 😀😀

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

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!

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!

The owners of this site are lovely and have certainly gone more than the extra mile in making this a superb place. Love it!

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 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!).

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.

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!

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.

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

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

Great cabin and camping !! Me and the other half first went here to see if she would like camping ? Well after we left!

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’ve camped around England, Scotland and Wales, and this is the best campsite we’ve stayed at. Jan and her husband have thought of everything.. a welcome room full of Suffolk books and walking guides, enough fire pits for all campers to borrow, modern and clean washing facilities with blankets and hot water bottles, wheel barrows to help you carry your tents and bags to your pitch and even a little shed shop full of any goodies you might have forgotten. 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.

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

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.

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

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 :-)

Excellent site This campsite is wonderful. Very clean toilet/shower block with everything you need. We camped in the forest and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Little touches such as bug spray in the toilet block for campers to use was very well received! We are in The Fox one evening - highly recommended and a nice walk. Take a torch!

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.

Tranquil camping, nice village Really beautiful, tranquil place for camping. They provide logs for purchase and fire pits to use, a really nice amenity. Also, the toilet block is one of the nicest I have ever experienced! We didn't take advantage of this but extra blankets and pillows are available should you have forgot any - such a nice gesture. Not a far walk to the farm shop and the local pub which is really warm and welcoming. Will definitely camp here again next summer and will bring our friends!

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.

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.
