  • 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 is a large, lively site with a vast array of activities and amenities, including a shopping village, funfair, and various sports facilities, making it popular with families. Pitches are generally spacious and level, and staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. However, reviews highlight that toilet and shower facilities are often dated and require significant improvement, with cleanliness being a recurring concern. While many enjoyed the extensive on-site offerings, some found the site could be noisy and overpriced for the quality of the basic facilities.

Liked Amazing camp site and very helpful staff on campsite. Lots for children to do we had the best family weekend camping.

Disliked Checking out at 10am is a bit too early for camping checkout to get everything packed away and sorted. If it’s not that busy people should be able to enjoy there final day and feel a bit more relaxed when packing away.

Liked We have just got home from a week stay at stonham barns. The lady who checked us in was very welcoming and helpful. Showed us to our pitch personally. We liked legends bar and all staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great drinks prices and entertainment. Carboot, crazy golf and foot golf where all great kids loved it.

Disliked Pitches far too close together.
Definitely doesn’t met the fire regulations on distance. We was very close to the caravan next to us also the two tents behind us their guide ropes over crossed ours. Their gas stove was less than a metre away from our awning.
Too many cars parked at pitches blocking the driveway to our pitch some having 3 cars.
Showers & Toilets were hardly cleaned for the week we was there. Water often going off and toilets blocked.

Rubbish and kids toys laying everywhere had to move them to be able to get our car in or out. People emptying there waste water in the hedge rows which unfortunately for us we was along the hedge row. (I know not site direct fault)
But lack of security/ staff not patrolling the site people just taking the mick and not abiding by the set rules.

Generator that powers the site is very noisy at night time. First night I thought it was someone’s car running all night long.

Bit disappointed with the shopping village (one of the reasons we picked site) shops hardly ever 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.
