Electric grass pitch
Liked: Toilet and shower blocks very well maintained Peaceful location BBQ nights Lots of play area for children
Disliked: Perhaps more distance between pitches as those in the field behind were quite noisy until very late at night

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Brilliant site, friendly owners, Fridays BBQ was excellent. Facilities are great. Pitch was huge, only 5amps so no kettle this weekend. Loved the fire pit hire. Phone signal (EE) not great but makes appreciate the site more.
Disliked: And not the sites fault, some parents don't educate their kids in respect of others property. The barn was trashed, straw pulled out everywhere and damage to the games barn done with footballs.

Liked: This is our second visit and we’ve been impressed by the cleanliness and good maintenance both times. There is plenty for the children to do, in a pleasant environment, with good access to local tourist spots. The toilets/showers are some of the nicest we’ve seen in a campsite.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: The organised and spacious pitch layouts. Extra areas especially for children's and family play. Undercover eating area with many fridges/freezers for campers to use. Many clean toilets and showers and adequate lighting to get to them at night. Camp ethos and friendly atmosphere of respect for privacy and quiet after dark, fostered by the organisationof the site. Nice enclosed area for dogs. Camp fire availability. Friday barbeque, pastries and Sunday bacon!
Disliked: That some campers and/or their children weren't so attentive to cleaning up after themselves, but the staff attend to this frequently. It's just a shame.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Great campsite with good facilities. Very well run and owners can’t do enough to help!
Disliked: Had to buy wood on site which we weren’t aware of.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Sorry that you were not aware that you had to buy wood for the firepit. It does state this on the Pitchup site. There was a link in the confirmation email from us also taking you to the bit about firepits saying ‘ Only our wood can be burnt on the site - this is due to stipulations from our insurance company and also the selling of wood helps to cover the increased cost of our insurance to allow you to have fires.’ Anyway despite this we are so happy that you thought our campsite was ‘great’ and we do hope that you will visit us again.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Firstly, Maria & Guy are fantastic hosts, we had a very warm welcome for my son and I and check in was easy. Free tea and coffee in the reception area, lots of information for local attractions, walks and pubs too. The facilities are really good. Spotlessly clean toilet and shower block, look brand new. The barn is a great place to hang out. We had the BBQ on Friday night which I would highly recommend. The campsite location is great for exploring nearby villages (Laxfield, Stradbroke, Cratfield, Huntingfield & Fressingfield, some of the villages we visited). Also 30 mins drive from Southwold on the coast. I highly recommend The Croft Campsite, we will be back for sure.
