- Modern amenities block with underfloor heating
Owners Maria and Guy at The Croft Campsite in East Anglia know what makes guests tick: they've added heaps of little touches to this smashingly popular little site a short drive from the Sussex Heritage Coast.
Opened in 2016, The Croft is a small and family-run countryside site with a friendly vibe, high-quality amenities and loads of room to play. It's in the village of Ubbeston, near the market towns of Framlingham and Halesworth, and a couple of miles from the two pubs and supermarket of the village of Laxfield. Scenic strolls can be had along the streaming remains of the River Blyth from Ubbeston to Laxfield.
Help yourself to a tea, coffee or squash when you arrive, then set up camp in this green and pleasant setting; the owners are always around if you need any help. And then investigate your surroundings: The Croft has a big field for football, kite flying and general running around under the skies, and a barn kitted out with three table tennis tables, table football, ride-on toys for wet weather days under canvas. The Cart Lodge is a sheltered communal space with picnic tables so you can still have dinner away from your pitch if you want.
Barbecues are held on site on Fridays, tasty egg, bacon or sausage rolls are generally available on Sundays, and croissants and pain au chocolat can be ordered every morning. There's no shop, but camping essentials like torches and batteries are available for sale from Maria and Guy.
Other Croft facilities include a modern and well-kept toilet and shower block, washing-up facilities, chemical disposal and a washing machine and dryer. The owners are happy to charge mobile phones and battery packs for free.
A well-stocked supermarket, hardware store and a post office are nearby at Laxfield; the nearest town from the site is Halesworth, via a scenic drive passing Heveningham Hall.
Open from 30/03/2018 to 29/10/2018

Check availability at The Croft Campsite…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Local attractions
The Croft Campsite has easy access to the Suffolk Heritage Coast and the river estuaries of the Blythe, Alde, Deben, Orwell and Stour. Get out into Suffolk for its famed beaches, rivers and peaceful roads – this county has the lowest rainfall in the UK too, always a plus when you're off on an outdoor hol…
Between 30 to 40 minutes' walk away or a two-mile drive is the ancient village of Laxfield, reachable via a riverside walk along the Blythe from Ubbeston. Have a sup in one (both?) of its two pubs when you arrive (beer is still tapped directly from the barrel in one and food is served in the other), then have a wander around the museum in the sixteenth century Guildhall, opposite the supermarket and post office and open at weekends in summer.
Day trips and afternoon wanders around Suffolk attractions and towns are easily accessed from the site: Framlingham and its castle overlooking the mere (do take a wander around the ramparts); Orford with English Heritage keep, boat trips along the River Alde and Orfordness-Havergate National Nature Reserve and lighthouse, and Minsmere, home to the coastal, woodland, wetland and heathland habitats of RSPB Minsmere.
