  • 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 boasts a superb location, a stone's throw from the beach and village, with many guests highlighting the stunning sea views. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with Raul mentioned as particularly attentive. While some reviews praise clean facilities and spacious pitches, a recurring theme is the basic nature of the amenities, including portaloos and showers with inconsistent temperatures. Several guests noted issues with uneven or sloping pitches and the overall value for money given the basic facilities. Despite these points, many visitors expressed a desire to return due to the location and atmosphere.

Non-electric gravel and sand tent pitch (sea view)

Liked Love the village and location and low fuss approach

Disliked 1. Lack of marked pitches on beach site. This meant we recieved agro from 3 separate campers on arrival each telling us to pitch up in a different spot! Pitch marks on the field site were great.
2. Noise. It was very noisy after 10pm last year everyone kept quiet afyer 10pm.

Non-electric gravel and sand tent pitch (sea view)

Liked Had a great two nights at the beach, quiet relaxed vibe with morning beach swims and falling asleep to the sound of the waves.
Appreciated the tap and open air cold shower for after swimming and getting water. Beach hut owners and other campers were friendly and helpful. I felt really safe which was great.
I think the person on site was called Raoul? He was always working hard and was also a real asset. Nice chap.

Disliked I had a bit of trouble on the bridge getting my stuff over in the barrow on my own as the surface is uneven. Some walkers helped me fortunately. Tip- don't put too much in and pull the barrow over the humps!
The bins were all stuffed full - maybe it was due collection day, but things were spilling out.There's still a lot of random fencing, open pipes, cables, portaloos and things look a bit slapdash and unfinished. I've been to pop up sites this summer where they've nailed it with decking and its all looked tidy and professional. As it's the first year maybe then plan is to work on that.
Also, a number at the check in desk to call if there's nobody about would be very helpful.

 Mark M. 1 review

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Plenty of space to pitch.
Showers and clean toilets.
Near to beach & walberswick village.

Disliked Tent pitching areas on a slope so not particularly comfortable when lying down in the tent.
More expensive per night compared to the previous Walberswick camping area (formally £20 per night, now £35 per night).

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).
