  • Family camping 50 yards from gorgeous Walberswick Beach in Suffolk
  • Rural coastal area 20 minutes’ drive from Southwold
  • Two good pubs and a well-known deli in pretty Walberswick village
Launched in 2026, Walberswick Camping is found in one of Suffolk’s prettiest villages, just 50 yards from one of the UK’s best beaches. Neatly tucked between the River Blythe, sand dunes and the sea, the site offers a splendid mix of beach life and countryside charm… It’s just two hours’ drive from London, 20 minutes from Southwold, and 15 minutes from Aldeburgh. You can also access the pitches across the Blythe via the traditional Southwold ferry. Set nicely away from the coastal crowds for family holidays, the site has all that you need close by. It’s less than five minutes’ walk from a couple of pubs – one Michelin-starred and serving some of the best food in Suffolk – a deli selling freshly baked bread, pastries and fair-trade coffee, and a playground to keep younger kids happy. Behind the village is Dunwich Forest, one of the largest wooded areas in the UK, handy for long walks and spotting deer under the peaceful tree canopy. Kids can try crab fishing in the creeks, and you can all go exploring your coastal surroundings or simply relax and admire the sea views from your pitch. As night falls, swap campfire stories – local folklore dictates that a mythical Black Dog haunts these parts… a tale that’s been whispered for generations.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its stunning location, close proximity to the beach and Walberswick village, with many highlighting the beautiful sea views. Staff are consistently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. While some reviews mention spacious pitches and good facilities, others report them as basic, with issues regarding portaloos, inconsistent shower temperature and pressure, and uneven terrain on some pitches. A few guests found the site overpriced for the facilities offered.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great location with brilliant views out to sea.
Kind and friendly guy who works the gate , cleans the toilet, showers etc .
Hopefully to be used as a permanent site eventually , not sure what the owners have planned for the site , believe it’s the first year .
I’m sure it will be very popular

Disliked Could do with at least an Elsan point for hygiene reasons.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful view set in a beautiful village.

Disliked At last, a campsite in walberswick where we have been visiting for decades, but what a shame. There was not a pitch available for our campervan on the first night but the very helpful Raoul moved us to a good pitch with a sea view for the second. But the facilities were a let down, a shambolic collection of huts and water bowsers and gas bottles and bins and pipes and endless crowd control type barriers used for fencing all around the site. Hundreds of posts with ropes sectioning off the pitches and non camping areas. A real eyesore that resembled a junk yard. The showers delivered hot water but were crudely built with unhygienic timber surfaces in places and the washing up stations had only cold water from broken or loose taps. The big let down however were the portaloos which by Sunday evening were humming with smell. Portaloos are for festivals and building sites. I know this is only a seasonal site, but there is no excuse for facilities this poor at a premium price

Local attractions

First stop for nature-lovers might be the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve (five minutes’ drive), where heathland, marshes, dunes and woodland meet the coast. The area is criss-crossed with walking trails – look out for muntjac and Chinese water deer as you stroll. You can also be on Walberswick beach in 15 minutes’ amble, or wander for miles along the Blythe or Dunwich rivers. Wherever you stroll, try to end up at Old Hall Southwold Café (15 minutes) for a warming hot chocolate. Cross the River Blythe to Southwold (20 minutes) to tour the artisan brewery, hike along the beach to the landmark Water Clock or eat fish and chips on the pier. Further south along the coast is Aldeburgh (half an hour), where you can often catch concerts at Snape Maltings. Take the kids to float mini-yachts on Southwold Boating Lake (20 minutes), or test their ingenuity at Southwold Maize Maze (15 minutes and seasonal). Most youngsters will love the idea of camel rides at the Camel Park Oasis (half an hour, also seasonal), and you can easily prevent boredom setting in on any rainy days by working through puzzles at the Suffolk Escape Room (25 minutes).
