What customers say
This peaceful, adult-only campsite offers a relaxing escape with most pitches overlooking a well-stocked fishing lake. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owner, Luke, and the beautifully maintained, clean facilities, including a flushable toilet and hot shower. The natural surroundings, farm animals, and optional on-site bar add to the tranquil atmosphere. While some minor traffic noise was noted, and the shower/toilet facilities are basic, guests frequently highlight the excellent value and overwhelmingly recommend the site, with many planning return visits.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Really beautiful choice of open pitches with lots of shade from trees and look over the lake- lots of benches around makes a big difference to the pitch. There was Wi-Fi throughout the camp and Luke was super friendly and helpful with our flexible schedule. Great porta-shower and enjoyed camping with all the chickens! Was a great spot for visiting Bungay for a festival.
