What customers say
This is a highly recommended, well-maintained campsite praised for its peaceful, idyllic, and natural surroundings. Visitors highlight the spacious, private pitches, excellent and clean facilities, and the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Glamping options like pods and shepherd's huts are described as cosy and well-equipped, with private bathrooms being a significant plus. The site's layout fosters privacy while remaining community-oriented. Minor issues, such as noise from a nearby venue on one occasion and concerns about footpath access to town, were noted, but overall, guests express a strong desire to return.

Excellent campsite with large pitches
Sunflower electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Lovely site on a quiet country lane. I enjoyed the meandering garden with fairy lights.The facilities were clean with lots of hot water - but we did have the campsite to ourselves which was a bonus

Sunflower 2 electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Really spacious pitches with excellent facilities in a beautiful and peaceful location. The comunial kitchen and honesty box was a lovely touch.
I really liked the 'green' elements of the site, from the recycling points, eco friendly supplies and the wild flowers that were appearing amongst the numerous trees and hedges.

Daisy non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars, no pets)
Liked Gorgeous pitches all cut grass and flat with fantastic wildlife variety, including bee flies, bumble bees and butterflies. The set up of pitches is very secluded making you feel cosy which some sites lack. Lovely facilities very clean, well stocked and tidy, and the communal kitchen with a fridge for food was well thought out. Firewood was lovely and dry with everything you needed. 9pm quite time seems early, but when there are children on site playing it is a relief (we are childless!) as it is very very quiet with owls hooting and dark skies with a few shooting stars. Great location, we were 20 mimutes from Lowestoft and you can see the sunrise from Ness Point, but still in the countryside. Lovely owner who introduced herself and checked up once you're comfy and sorted. Can't fault the campsite at all! Our visit was in April 2026.

Anonymous (3) electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful site and really big pitches, great layout in a peaceful area but still plenty to do not far away. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The kitchenette was handy with all the basics you need.
Disliked The toilet block didn’t feel heated so showers in cold weather were a bit uncomfortable.

Lovely campsite will definitely stay again !
Sunflower electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Such a nice campsite tucked away ! But still close to stuff and Yarmouth is 25 mins down the road
Lovely owner and well maintained campsite
Shepherds hut we stayed in foxglove was so nice and cosy very warm at night.

Amazing campsite, beautiful surroundings and nice sized pitches.
Bumblebee camping pod
Liked Cosy, with everything we needed for our stay. Having our own shower and toilet was a very nice touch. The site itself is so peaceful and surrounded by so much wildlife. We sat and watched a mouse climb up and grab a rose hip for its breakfast. So cute!
15min walk to a pub for drinks (no food) or 45 min walk to Wheatacre for a lovely country pub with very good food.
Disliked Nothing about the site itself.
Nothing to do with the site is that it's quite tricky to walk into Beccles as some very fast roads with no direct footpath. just bear in mind if you stay.

Lovely site and owners, with everything you need.
Anonymous Sunflower electric grass campervan pitch
Liked The size and condition of the pitch, the picnic table and chairs that were provided, the space for a fire pit, the friendly greeting by the owners, the kitchenette, the cleanliness of the toilets/showers, the snug feeling that has been created.
Disliked The loud music from the wedding venue down the road. We just happened to stay on a night when it was booked. It stopped at 1pm though.
