What customers say
This small, rural campsite offers a peaceful retreat with friendly and helpful owners. Guests appreciate the clean, functional facilities, including good showers and on-pitch water/electricity. The location is ideal for plane spotters, walkers, and those seeking a quiet escape. Some reviews mention occasional noise from nearby air bases and issues with other guests not following site rules. The site is generally well-maintained, though some feedback suggests minor improvements are needed.

Good as a one night stopover
Anonymous Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Location. Not far off the A12 so good for passing through for a night.
At £25 for overnight inc electric and water, can’t really grumble at the price.
It’s got all the necessary facilities.
Disliked The riverside pub 15 minutes away (as described in the owners own description) is closed and has been for a few months.
Was looking forward to a short riverside walk and a beer or two. This is poor (to leave it on the description).
I’m NOT reviewing the bit with the tent - just the bit for Motorhomes - this at the end of the day is a small hedge surrounded field with basic facilities.

From the manager: I think your comment about the pub being closed and the low score because of this rather harsh, as this in my opinion is for you to research not myself. Am I responsible if the local shop decides to close for half a day or the fish and chip shop close.
Your review is supposed to be on the site experience , of which from what i gather you "cant really grumble".
Great countryside location.
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Owner was so lovely and helpful.
Great location, excellent onsite equipment shop. Good toilet/ showers
Disliked No boundaries on pitches, no privacy between.

Great short break. Will be back.
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Easy to find, quiet and being a small site means the facilities are not busy. Great showers and toilets. Close to grocery store to pick up essentials means you can travel light and pick up what you need whilst you're there. Some nice pubs in the town and other villages close by. For those wanting to see military aircraft, Mildenhall viewing is less than 10 minutes away. Lakenheath 20. You will also get the occasional planes flying over or around the site.

Anonymous Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Great owners, great facilities and a great location. Was staying over for the week due to doing some photography of the local bases and with this campsite being situated right next to Mildenhall the aircraft circuit right over the campsite which meant that I could be sat having a beer and taking photos at the same time! A really great place to stay.

Booked for my son and partner…
Bell tent
Liked Booked for my son and partner who wanted somewhere off the beaten track to have some much needed downtime from hectic family life. The Bell tent was clean and comfortable and well equipped. They loved cooking on the open fire. Plenty of nice walks around the area , picnic by the river. Chance to get back to nature. A nice hospitality pack in the tent also which was appreciated.
If you like the rural life away from it all then this place is perfect.
Disliked Showers weren’t very clean
