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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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!).

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!

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. 😀😀

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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

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.

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

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.

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. 😁

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

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

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 😁

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely adults only site Stayed here during a very hot weekend in July. We pitched up in a nice secluded plot but there are open field and woodland spots available. Fire pits are available on site as well as a tiny but well stocked shop. Amazing showers/WCs kept immaculately spotless by the owners who are friendly and welcoming. Great site to great away from it all.

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 :-)

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.

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 ✨

Only been here a night so far and I literally cannot rate this place any higher as well as the owner Jen enough, she has thought of everything one would need. All water is drinkable, there is a communal fridge/freezer, communal charging port, 2 communal sinks for washing up and they are stocked with spinges and washing up liquid. The facilities are honestly the cleanest and most well presented I have seen anywhere I have been (me and my partner go camping 2-3times a year all over the UK) and they smell lovely too, another thoughtful touch is that both male and female facilities have clean blankets incase you get cold, in the women's one you even have a kettle and hot water bottles... i mean come on how thoughtful is that!Highly impressed with this adult only, dog friendly, site ❤️The grounds are stunning with flora and fauna popping up here and there and the fact you can camp in the small woodland area on site or on the grass area is just another bonus that I am unsure what other campsites do??

There's also two cabins if you feel like treating yourself, well hidden from us campers and with lovely views.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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)!

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 :-)

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

Fantastically well-kept site, good range of options for where to set down (grass, pond-side, wooded), impressively clean and well-stocked bathrooms with blankets to borrow, and less than a mile from the excellent Fox Inn.

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

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

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.

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!
