Campsite haven. Second visit to Newbourne campsite. The first being in 2021. This campsite is just as brilliant as we remembered and it was lovely to share it with our friends who also loved it. The site is spacious and has different levels and trees to make it feel really private. There’s space in the field or in the woodland. The tents aren’t on top of each other and everyone respects each others space because you get to choose your spot. The scenery is beautiful too and it’s perfectly located with lots of walks with pubs along the way. Would highly recommend the maybush inn. It’s adults only so lovely and quiet and everyone is respectful of noise. The fire pit was a highlight on one of the nights as it was a bit chilly. The shower block is always clean and tidy and calming. Jen the owner has really paid attention to detail on this campsite and there is a little shop for emergency bits if needed. We would highly recommend to campers wanting some peace and relaxation whilst camping. This really is a little haven, we will definitely be back. Thank you!

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

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

Loved it. Peace, tranquility. Booked for 3 nights, but the place is so beautiful we stayed an extra night. The toilets and shower block is spotless and deserves 5*. The shop has everything you need, can also order fresh bread. Even a freezer with ice-creams, what more do you need on a hot day and everything is reasonably priced. Very quiet when we arrived, but even with several more campers at the week-end, everyone was so spread about; it was still idyllic for a peaceful camping experience. A lovely village pub is quite close by with good food. Jen has gone above and beyond to make sure there is everything you could possibly need, blankets for a cold night, bug spray, the list goes on. Plenty of information for different walks and places to visit. Can't wait to return.

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.

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

What a gem of a place! It’s hard to know where to begin describing this fabulous idyllic place. Driving through the village you immediately get a sense of what’s to come, residents have barrows set up selling home grown produce, everyone gives way down the single lane and as far as you can see it’s just beautiful farmlands. On my arrival Jen (the owner) came out to greet me and directed me to Cherry Tree Cabin. No 15 minute lecture about rules and regulations just basic information and a request to relax and enjoy. A short walk through the woods revealed the most amazing accommodation. Wheelbarrows are available to transport your gear. A very spacious one room cabin with 2 single beds awaited me with plenty of places to hang your clothes, an abundance of blankets and lovely little touches like pictures and tapestries which make the place very unique and homely. There is an outside kitchen with 2 gas ring burners and every cooking utensil you could think of. There’s a table and chairs on the deck and then down a couple of steps to the fire pit and another couple of relaxing chairs. The view is breathtaking overlooking the water meadow and within 5 minutes I had seen my first herd of about 5 deer. There’s no electricity which makes it even more special but there are loads of candles which light up the cabin and plenty of solar lights outside. There’s a small electric fan heater type of thing which just took the edge off the chilly nights. The facilities at this site are second to none! You can pitch your tent wherever you like, be that on the open grass or nestled away in the woods. There are BBQs and fire pits to use, logs and home made charcoal are available at a small cost. The shower/toilet block is the cleanest and the most well thought out I have ever seen. There’s hand soap,cream, electric points, a hairdryer and a kettle. Together with blankets and insect repellent. Showers are on a push timer but were spacious, strong and hot! There’s a communal undercover area which houses fridge/freezers and an electric box to charge your phone. Washing up bases were also fully equipped with washing up liquid/sponges/clothes and lovely hot water. The camp runs on trust and honesty, how refreshing in this day and age! there’s a small shop just up by the main house which has everything you might need or have forgotten, take what you want and jot it down in the book, settle up when you leave! there’s a pub in the village but I didn’t visit. But the nature reserve just passed it is beautiful, saw my first muntjac deer! Nearby there’s Woodbridge and Wickham Market which are quaint little towns full of quirky little shops and Felixstowe beach was about a 15 minute drive, if you can drag yourself away from the peace and tranquility of the camp that is! I travelled alone and I felt very safe. It really was the perfect retreat to have some quality ‘me’ time, there is something very cathartic about sitting outdoors in front of a roaring fire listening to the wildlife (owls, foxes, deers, birds) I stayed for 3 nights but 4 or 5 would’ve been ideal. I will definitely be back next year! Thank you Jen and Larry for the most wonderful few days! You have got this absolutely spot on!

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.

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

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.

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! ;-)

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.

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!

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

Just delightful! Just back from a week at Newbourne Woods and its been a complete joy. Very tranquil setting, spacious pitches. Bathrooms are spotless/great showers. Wildlife abounds, so relaxing lying in the tent at night listening to the Owls hooting. We even saw a Kingfisher.

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!

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 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

Fabulous campsite in the heart of Suffolk If you are looking for a quiet site (very few pitches, no children) then this is absolutely fabulous. Despite only allowing a few tents it is a big site with plenty of room. There is camping either in the field or in the woods, and if you don't fancy canvas then there are two cottages. The facilities were vey well presented and immaculately clean with extra touches like a handy little shop, plenty of (homemade) charcoal to buy and barbecues to borrow. Many of the pitches also have fire pits, again with wood available to buy. The proprietors are friendly and approachable and as well as a lovely site have provided lots of information about the local area - I would give this 6 out of 5 if I could.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

Absolutely love it here. Such a great setup in such beautiful place. I've been and stayed in one of the lodges of my girlfriend and dog. The area immediately around the lodge was secure for a dog. Plus he could go off the lead outside of that with other dogs that were nearby so it was lovely and friendly. The little shop is great and the owners Jen and Larry are amazing people. We are really well with them. Looking forward to going back again

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.

Time stands still in this beautiful corner of the world We have just had our upteenth (lost count now ) camping trip to Newbourne - I probably haven't written a review before because I didn't want our secret super campsite to become too popular , but I cant hold back - if you enjoy the same ingredients as us in a campsite then check out Newbourne - Toilets and Showers, much better than you might find in many hotels ! BBQ's and Fire Pits all free to use, logs to burn just a fiver - the attention to detail is fantastic , fridges and freezers and charging points all included , a safe haven canopy if there is inclement weather with a chiminea & fairy lights , no allocated pitches just find your ideal spot - wheel barrows to help you unload your kit to your pitch - great wash up area - site shop if you have forgotten something - Information office for details of dog walks & things to do in the area - relaxed check in and check out -time stands still , your off grid but not off grid ,everything you could need is close by but not on top of you , you are submerged in the Suffolk countryside and its beautiful - a lovely stroll to a great pub The Fox for a post dog walk pint

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 :-)

Short, relaxing break We were looking for a dog friendly campsite where you could have a fire. Newbourne ticked those boxes and so much more! A choice of woodland or field, excellent showers (I mean really excellent). fire pits, bbqs, phone charging point, fridge and freezer. Quiet and peaceful. A good little information cabin and a camp shop for essentials. Jen was very friendly and helpful but unobtrusive. I would definitely recommend this site!

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!

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.

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.

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.

a camping treasure, gem of a place, away from it all and with excellent facilities This is an wonderful destination. Easily accessible, yet when you get there a haven of peace and tranquility. It's wonderful to camp and know that you won't be surrounded by caravans and campervans as big as small houses, no vehicles, no noise, no pollution. A vast site, but the policy of restricting the numbers means that it is never crowded. With this comes a modern and scrupulously clean toilet bock, a freezer and a fridge and a place to charge electical equipment. What else can you possibly want. We're in danger of always choosing to go there, other sites never reach the same level of satisfaction.

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.

A complete escape We chose this site as it looked like a secluded getaway and we were not disappointed. Find a pitch nestled in the woodlands and set up camp. No cars in the woodland which makes it even more peaceful, wheelbarrows available to move your things to and from the car. Larry, Jen and Barney are friendly and welcoming and make sure you know where everything you need is. There is a great pub serving delicious food a short walk away. There is also a fantastic farm shop with the most amazing burgers on the way to the pub. The coast is a few miles away as are the towns of Ipswich, (lovely docklands area) and Felixstowe with its pebble beach, amusements and traditional beach huts. We also took our 2 dogs who absolutely loved it. Perfect getaway for walking, cycling and just relaxing :-)

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.

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

Loved this campsite. We’re cycling on tour and so good to have a campsite that isn’t a giant car park. Cars and vehicles are provided with wheelbarrows to carry their gear to the camping area. Makes the area so much more enjoyable without people driving around where your sleeping. Get some exercise too. I’m always amazed how much junk people take camping with them. Site toilet Bloch is wonderful and new spacious ,clean ,well appointed . We had a fire pit and camped near the woods and had the place pretty much to ourselves. Used one of the dinning tables dotted about. Owner was very helpful and relaxed.

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

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Paradise! This is our second time at the adults only woodland campsite. This time we stayed in the cherry tree cabin instead of under canvas. The site is very well cared for, the facilities are spotless and the location is quite and peaceful. Even with the COVID-19 additional procedures in place, our holiday here went without a hitch. The extra touches are really appreciated, and the information about the area, walks and things to do are well thought out.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. 😁

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 :-)
