A beautiful place - away from it all An amazing chance to camp in the woods. There are no limits or restrictions to where you can pitch your tent. You are surrounded by christmas trees. Walk around and find your own little niche and pitch your tent. Grab yourself a fire pit and a BBQ, and settle in. Watching the sun go down, and seeing all the little fire pits lighting up the woods is a sight to see. Being woken in the morning by all the different birdsong is something to experience. Beautiful shower and toilet block, an elephant barn equipped with fridge and freezers and somewhere to charge your phones if you need them! Once visited, you will go back.

Beautiful, peaceful campsite with excellent facilities Lovely , peaceful campsite on the edge of a village with great pub and walking routes. Host Jen was very friendly and very quick to reply to email booking. Excellent facilities, best we’ve seen. Toilets and showers spotless. Honour shop on site for any forgotten essentials. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

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.

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! ;-)

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.

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

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.

The perfect, chillaxing getaway! We stayed here for ten nights recently, attracted not only by the location but the fact that it was an adults only site and was "dog friendly". When we arrived we fel instantly relaxed and were looking forward to the days ahead. The setting was "heaven", so much space and so tranquil. The owners advised, in the information hut, that we should select a spot and pitch up and they would catch up with us shortly. We did just that and immediately felt at home. The shower block was superb...always clean and with those extra touches such as insect repellant, a hairdryer and kettle should you require them. There was the loan of firepits and charcoal available made on site. The information hut offered details of local attractions and even had local walks written up to take with you. A handy little shop and within walking distance to The Fox, a fabulous local pub. We met some lovely people and had a fabulous stay. Thank you Jen, Larry and Scoobs!

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!

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.

Fantastic stay. A lovely campsite run by a great couple, the campsite is secluded with many thoughtful touches such as additional blankets in the bathrooms. The man who primarily greets you at the campsite showed us to the site ensuring we knew where the fire baskets were and wash facilities. The pub is about a 20-25 minute walk and they serve good food. Fantastic stay and would highly recommend. Marc Hurren.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

A very special campsite My gf and I have just returned from 2 nights camping here and we want to go back already. This adult-only campsite is a beautiful place to relax and get away from it all. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They have put their hearts in to the campsite and you can feel it. We picked a spot in the heart of the wooded section (you can choose from the meadow or the wood) and whilst we were close to others the trees offer the feel of seclusion. Logs and charcoal are available to buy for use in the fire bowls and bbqs that can be collected upon arrival. The toilet/showers are immaculately clean and modern - better than many hotel bathrooms. The hot water was heaven after our kayaking trip on Saturday morning in Iken. Washing up after cooking was easy in in the 2 large sinks with washing up liquid, cloths and towels all provided. The little touches such as the insect repellent in the toilets or the box of blankets for those that get cold separate this from other campsites and show the level of attention that had gone in to this wonderful place. There is plenty to do in the area from walking in the countryside to lounging on the beach in Felixstowe. Newbourne Woods was the perfect place for our weekend get away and we will definitely be going back.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

Want a peaceful, idlilic, immaculate and friendly campsite? Book here now you won't be disappointed! We (2 of us) stayed here for a weekend in June. The site is immaculately kept with a choice of open field, woods or a small clearing hidden in the woods which we were lucky enough to choose! The site is adult only so in the evenings is very quiet, perfect for just sitting outside the tent and looking and listening to nature. Sinks for washing up are under cover along with fridge & freezer to use in 'The Elephant Shed', an undercover communal area with the most impressive woodburner ever! The shower & toilet block is as it describes on the website- 5 star! Lovely rainfall showers, sinks with mirrors. It's the little touches that stand out. In both gents and ladies blocks there are boxes full of blankets to borrow if the weather gets suddenly chilly and in the ladies there are hot water bottles and a kettle to fill! Fires are permitted in certain areas as long as you use a metal firepit (free to borrow). Crates of logs are always available to buy. We came across a lovely little cast iron chimenea which kept us warm sitting outside the tent in the evenings. A small shop has basic provisions. There are lots of local walks printed on A4 paper to take and use. Every detail is taken care of! I can't put into words just how beautiful this site is. Nature all around along with pure relaxation & peace will see us returning very soon! If you're a couple after a quiet spot then this is the place for you. Many thanks to Jen & Larry and we'll see you soon!

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.

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!

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.

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

A 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

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.

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 :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay here, the owners couldn't do enough for us with the offer of hot water bottles and extra blankets if needed. As for the actual site, the facilities are amazing, the shower block and washrooms are all brand new and the spec on the inside is amazing with only the best of everything from the porcelain down to the hand soap! There are plenty of plots, both under cover of trees or in the open, and if the weather is poor there's a sizable shelter with tables and seats. So many extras here, too many to list..... Highly recommended, definitely worth a visit.

Shhhh.... keep it to yourself! This was our third visit to the wonderful Newbourne Woodland campsite. We stayed in Kingfisher Cabin, which is an amazing glamping habitat. Jen and Larry (the owners) have thought of everything, down to the tiniest detail. They'd even ordered fabulous weather for the bank holiday so that we could sit on the new decking over the lake and read our books, that's if we weren't watching the family of ducks sploshing around or seeking the elusive kingfisher. It's relatively private and secluded, just the odd tent in sight. There's a real toilet...(glampers will understand the term 'real', being added!), along with a lovely hot shower. The kitchen is well equipped, a fridge with ice box, cooker, microwave and kettle. I challenge you to want for anything, pots and pans, cutlery and utensils, tea, coffee, oil and seasoning, scales and jugs, pretty little egg cups (which I insisted in using on our last morning despite the fact my husband doesn't even like boiled eggs! The lounge area has books and scrabble, along with a new addition, a tv/dvd player. There are plenty of blankets and a wood burning stove to keep you cosy, along with electric heaters if the great British weather decides to frown upon you. On the large decked area there's a BBQ with utensils in the dining area to the front of the cabin. Beyond the decking there is also a fire pit, which the visiting pheasants seemed quite curious about. Supplies had been .... ummmm....supplied!, special offerings of milk, eggs, tomatoes, jam, chocolates, wine, bread and butter. Our dog was as welcomed as us, with a bowl of water and a jar of snacks all ready for our arrival. There are some amazing walks in the area, each one leading to a pub! We parked behind the Maybush (just £1 for 3 hours) and walked along the river, returning some hours later for a well earned liquid refreshment. Can't wait to return to this fabulous place.

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

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

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.

Totally Excellent! Spent 2 nights camping and three nights at Cherry Tree Cabin. This is the best site I have ever stayed at. The site facilities, atmosphere and set-up is fantastic. It's amazing to stay somewhere where open fires are allowed and the rule list isn't as long as your arm! The owners of this site are lovely and have certainly gone more than the extra mile in making this a superb place. Love it!

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!

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.

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,

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.

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

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 :-)

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

The Most Perfect Adult Campsite! Where do I start! This place is so lovely, from the very start the owners made us feel welcome and and they were so laidback. You can pitch where you like and once saying hello you are sent off to find your spot. The grounds were tidy and just beautoful - and it was lovely to have the option for either meadow or woodland camping! We chose the woods - which worked nicely for us as we were close to the facilities and love wildlife! Which if you do love wildlife it is incredible for! We had a couple pheasants that wandered around our camp every day we named the fella Phillip lol. Deer, rabbits everything! We see the lot - and I see a review about bringing ear plugs as the sounds of the birds start very early! But dont be fooled into thinking its overbearing - the sounds of the birds were beautiful and was amazing to fall asleep to them all saying goodnight and again in the morning! The toilets/shower block was very clean and tidy and the showers were incredible! I didn't ever want to get out! Me and my partner loved all the little extras like the hot water bottles (which saved us at night time!) and blankets etc. There is also a fridge and a charging station which we wasnt pepared for so was such a lovely touch! It was super quiet when we went with only 2 other pitches when we arrived and it was the perfect time for peace and some tranquility! Our car even broke down and the owners were more than helpful - allowing us to park outside their home and checking on us. An amazing adults only getaway and me and my partner will most definetly be back again not only for camping but for the cabins too!

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

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

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

Second 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

Just book it to see for yourself! We have just got back from our 2nd stay at Newbourne, and can't wait to go back next year! We love being able to choose where to pitch, the amazing hot showers, and being able to have a fire! Not to mention the fact that it's adults only! The owners really have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Don't think twice, just book it!

This is the best campsite I've ever been to. The pitches are in a beautiful setting, with plenty of trees and wildlife to enjoy. It's so quiet! The facilities are lovely and are spotlessly clean and everything is so well thought out, from a fridge, to phone charging area, even rugs and hot water bottles. Plus the elephants of course! We will be back.

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

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

Great cabin and camping !! Me and the other half first went here to see if she would like camping ? Well after we left! She had to admit she loved it 😄 The facility's here are amazingly clean and every think is thought of around the site. Free fire pits to use round your tent BBQs to use if you don't have your own ,blankets you can borrow for chillie nights. You can pitch where you like in the field or the woods and there is a lovely shelter you can sit and watch the world of birds and wildlife playing across the adjacent fields. We also have stayed in the cabin for a long weekend again was amazing candles everywhere so the fiancé loved it. If you love being outside this place is a must no doubt you will see us here a few times over the summer we love it here.

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

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!
