The Croft Campsite

I, possibly like other parents, tend to view the expectations of my children through my own eyes and was therefore a tad disappointed when we pulled up at the site to find only two other visitors, a limited selection of activities in the barn and torrential rain! I needn't have worried because the boys loved every minute of the site and the surrounding area and are now far better at table tennis, table football, football, badminton and hay bale climbing!!
The welcome was lovely, the washing/shower/toilet block was perfect, the site tidy, flat and perfectly positioned for all the surrounding area, of which we visited Diss, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Walberswick over the Easter weekend. The village pub (5 mins away) was friendly with good food and a well stocked co-op was 50 yards from the pub. Even in the rain the villages and countryside were lovely with plenty of wildlife for the boys to spot (including a barn owl in daylight!).
We had a absolutely lovely time, thank you Guy and Maria for your hospitality, we will be back.
p.s. Fred and Evan said thanks for the egg hunt

Maria & Guy made us feel very welcome to this part of the country. Lots of great information about Suffolk and surrounding areas. Pitches good size, facilities excellent.

Absolutely wonderful time. A lovely warm welcome, bbq cooked for us with lots of delicious food, feels extremely safe so boys free to wander off and explore alone, beautiful walk along a stream, toasted marshmallows around the fire bowl and a yummy cooked breakfast before we came home. Toilets and showers were immaculately clean and had underfloor heating. We all enjoyed a family game of table tennis and table football in the barn. Maria and Guy do a fantastic job. We will definitely be returning. Felt like we were staying with friends. Thank you.

Nothing. It was all perfect. Can't think of any areas that require improvement.

A really friendly and well thought out campsite. Good clean and warm toilet and shower block. Great Friday BBQ. Flat ground. Large pitches. Fire pits for hire.

All Good!

The cleaning and toilet blocks, heated and modern
The barns with tables, table tennis tables, children games
The play field
The guitar concert by the campfire on Saturday evening

This camping site has everything and it run by a family who wants to provide the best possible experience to the campers. A delight!

A very pleasant rural location generally with families camping in well spaced and adequately sized pitches. Offering everything we needed along with very amenable hosts keen to offer help. Optional fire pits were a hit with most campers, great for sitting round and toasting marshmallows.

Designated pathways could be kinder to soft soled flip flops and the like. The surfaces being re-used road planings. I noted I wasn't alone in not using these when there were grass alternatives. A minor comment really but relevant when making your way to the shower block.

A lovely site with fantastic hosts. Very welcoming and always keen to make a stay a good one.

Lots of children due to school holidays (I am a teacher so have to take my holidays in school holidays) Not all parents take responsibility for their children and two of the nights there were children making a lot of noise until 10 pm - May be need site rule about children running around being loud after 9pm especially as camp fires can be a hazard

Friendly owners;
Complimentary tea/coffee & option to buy pastries in the mornings;
New, clean and warm shower block;
Baby changing & family shower room;
Well located for day trips;
Relaxed environment.
We would book again!

We had a wonderful stay here - so much so that we booked to come back before we had left! The owners are so friendly and welcoming, and the site has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. It was perfect for our family as the children all made friends and were very happy just running around and playing together - they never wanted to leave, and it was always a rush to get back when we did! The social areas are excellent, and you can opt in or out as you choose. We enjoyed the Friday night BBQ and the Sunday morning breakfast - both delicious, and also great opportunities to meet new people and just enjoy being outside and sharing a communal meal. All five of us would very highly recommend this campsite - we were so happy our search led us here, and are already looking forward to returning!

This was our second visit this year to Croft Campsite - so that tells you we like it!
Although the site was nearly full, we still received a very warm welcome from Maria and Guy, free tea and juice was at hand in the reception area and lots of information on the area if you should need it.
As expected, there were lots of families staying, but the site is big enough and has plenty of child friendly facilities that you don't feel inundated by children, if like us, you are travelling without children.
The site is kept very clean with excellent facilities.
If you do have children this site really is fantastic, if you don't, it is still a great find.
