  • Busy, well-equipped site surrounded by the open Suffolk countryside
  • Half an hour’s drive from Sutton Hoo; 45 minutes from the coast
  • Shop, restaurant, miniature golf, owl sanctuary and play area on site
Looking for a Suffolk spot with lots of open space? The dog-friendly Stonham Barns Holiday Park might hit the sweet spot. Well-placed for the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside and coast, this place is equal parts relaxing and active. The latter is very much helped by the fact that the site is part of the Stonham Barns Golf Park site, which has a whole host of family-friendly (and quite frankly fabulous) attractions… There’s a pirate-themed miniature golf course, a sensory room and a funfair with rides and bumper cars, which should all prove a hit with pint-sized guests. No need to go hunting in the trees: the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary on site has over 80 owls and daily flying displays featuring birds of prey. Catch a comedy or tribute act at the Aspal Theatre, sojourn at the fishing lakes or get creative at the pottery painting studio, all of which are on site. Among these attractions are handy foodie places too. There’s a tearoom if you’re craving an afternoon tea and cake, a restaurant powered by local produce and a village shop selling essential food fare. These pair well with the bar and clubhouse, which has sports screens and celebrity evenings, and a shopping village full of niche independent shops. Along with a showground hosting weekly events like car or dog shows and a Sunday car boot fair, these are all one to two minutes’ walk from the pitches. On the immediate site, however, the facilities include showers, toilets, a washing-up area, disabled facilities, wifi, a kids’ play area and spaces for kids to run around and let off steam. There's also a post office on site which provides cash back and other banking services.

What customers say

This large, friendly campsite offers a vast array of activities and amenities, including shops, cafes, golf, and an owl sanctuary, making it ideal for families. Staff are consistently praised for their helpfulness and welcoming nature. While many visitors enjoyed the spacious pitches and on-site entertainment, a recurring concern is the dated and occasionally unclean state of the toilet and shower facilities, with some guests noting poor water pressure and a lack of hot water. Improvements to these facilities are noted by some, and many express a desire to return.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We went here the last weekend of our Easter holidays so it was not busy at all compared to apparently what it usually is. So lots of space to run around and play. It was extremely windy as the space is so open (obviously can't be helped by the site) but maybe a consideration if you are thinking of going out of season in a tent. We were greeting by a lovely lady who showed us round. The site itself is basic but all the facilities were clean and and tidy. Next to the site is Stonham Barns which we visited briefly to do some pottery painting which was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. The legends sports bar onsite is a good asset, decent food for a fair price, Bingo on Friday nights was fun. Lots of events over the weekend in there too. There is also crazy golf and fishing onsite but too windy for both activities. Car Boot on a Sunday
We look forward to returning

Liked The staff were really friendly and helpful from the minute we turned up. Nice and quiet by 10pm as per the site rules and the facilities (showers/toilets etc) were cleaned every morning.

Disliked Nothing to dislike really, we had a great bank holiday weekend.

Liked Being away with friends!

Disliked The showers and toilets are terrible. Leaking water from the base of the toilets, mould in both the showers and toilets. Toilet cubicles far too small, you have the ladies bin attached to your leg and have to almost sit on the toilet to open the door. No warning for the very hot water. Had to wait about an hour for the electric to work.
There is 2 toilet blocks but only 1 was open.

Local attractions

With all the attractions on site, it might be a while till you look outwards in search of entertainment. However, when you do, the Suffolk coastline is splendidly within reach, as the site is on the A1120 tourist road. Thorpeness (50 minutes' drive), Aldeburgh (45 minutes) Southwold (50 minutes) deliver on walks, watersports and simple seaside amusements. This is also an excellent place to channel your inner historian and deep dive into the past. Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) is a Norman castle with a walk across the 10-metre-high walls. Sutton Hoo (half an hour) is just as spectacular, with two medieval cemeteries where a ship with Anglo-Saxon pieces was found. Perhaps pretty walks and eating out in restored Victorian buildings next? Snape Maltings (40 minutes) on the river Alde is a splendid setting for strolls and cycles, whether around the riverside loop or joining the Suffolk Coast Cycle Route 41. Take in the scenery on a river boat or sip on something caffeinated in the many independent eating venues in the Victorian buildings.
