What customers say
Stonham Barns offers a wide range of activities and amenities, including golf, shops, and entertainment, praised for its family-friendly atmosphere and spacious pitches. However, multiple reviews highlight consistent issues with the cleanliness and condition of the toilet and shower facilities, with some guests experiencing intermittent water supply and temperature problems. While staff are generally described as friendly and helpful, recurring maintenance and cleanliness concerns in the ablution blocks detract from the overall visitor experience, despite recent upgrades mentioned by management.

Easy motorhome/caravan access only 6 miles up fast A140 from the A14.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Legends clubhouse open 7 days a week from 4pm. Cafe 24 with its excellent menu, Antique shops. Garden centre. Reclaim yard. Dog grooming shops. Huge dog friendly site with dogs on leads allowed in all venues except the Owl Sanctuary Museum and the Village Stores both of which is understandable. Alcohol cheap at £4ish a pint in clubhouse and cafe 24. More on at weekends with bingo, huge showground events and separate car boot sale area.
Disliked Very limited menu in the clubhouse for evening meal restricted to pizza or burgers really with a few sides of chips or nachos available. Jacket potatoes also available.
Not our cup of tea but fishing lake and 9 hole golf course seemed popular but crazy golf looked good.

Lovely relaxing place to stay
Electric grass pitch
Liked 2nd time here. This time instead of the tent. We brought our caravan. Had the choice of where we wanted to pitch and we had a fab time. Just relaxing and enjoying our time away.
Staff again very friendly and welcoming and very helpful also.
As this site has been taken over by new owners. Everything like the toilets and shower blocks will be sorted and replaced or fixed in due course
New owners took over 2026
Disliked We had very heavy rain for a day 😂

Don’t book
Electric grass pitch
Liked Field was fine had it to ourself after everyone left on the bank holiday Monday no new arrivals after that
Disliked Toilets were an absolute disgrace it was like we were at a festival floors not cleaned walls full of spiders also toilet empty thing was full all the time and you couldn’t empty your toilet. Couldn’t believe the state of the toilet and shower facilities place should have been closed down because of the health standard of them

Like going here for short breaks
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Always like going to Stonham Barns been going sometime now, friendly staff and plenty to do with the golf courses and fishing plus the owl sanctuary. Did miss the fun fair.
Disliked Though the toilet blocks had improved but still not up to standard. The disposable waste had over flowed and not use able. Also the rubbish bins were overflowing.

Overall a great family friendly place. We will be returning
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great family friendly place. Our first time camping and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. We have a 7 year old and a 13 month old and there was so much to do and so much is there for all ages. We booked fri-mon and didn’t manage to get everything done. Staff are so friendly and welcoming which makes a massive difference in a first time experience. Although we’ve not tried anywhere else camping, this is definitely somewhere we will be returning to.
Disliked The toilets and shower blocks aren’t great, however, I feel as though it’s not a fault from the cleaner. It’s more of a fault from visitors who are leaving them in awful conditions. Empty bottles left in the showers, toilets stuffed with toilet rolls, leaving water all on the floors, marks all on the walls etc. the cleaner is there a few times a day cleaning (even doing more than her allocated hours) making sure it’s clean and useable for visitors. The maintenance team had been made aware of issues with some toilets but nothing was being done at the time of our visit. I just want to point out how friendly the cleaner is, she even took time to speak to us and told us about different things we could do on site. She seems to go above and beyond and I think she should be recognised and made aware of how great she is.

The location & friendliness of staff…
Electric grass pitch
Liked The location & friendliness of staff
Disliked Toilet & shower blocks were awful only 1 working and left in a disgusting condition.
We were put in front of a motor home and their door was right by our tent so every time they came in and out of their door they knocked our ropes & tent.
People were still up & shouting at 1am in the morning.
