Sunset over the campsite (added by visitor 24 aug 2020)

Peaceful adults-only site with a no-music/TV rule; dogs allowed
A 15-minute drive from Framlingham and 20 minutes from Aldeburgh
Firepits, kitchen and undercover seating available for guests

No one could blame you for wanting a break from the kids, whether they’re your own or just the neighbourhood ones getting underfoot… If that calming escape is calling then make your way to Brick Kiln Campsite, an adults-only site less than five minutes’ drive from the small Suffolk village of Campsea Ashe. In a rural spot, there’s little around this quiet spot but fields. The site’s not set up for electric – though plugs for charging phones can be accessed if going without is a problem – so the outside world may struggle to intrude, and a no-music rule (other than birdsong, of course) should ensure that reading hours and slumbers go undisturbed. Eats are easily sorted without leaving this placid paradise: firepits are available, and there's a communal barbecue where you can cook up more traditional meals (disposable barbecues are also for sale here). Damper hours can be spent in the converted stable, with its shared kitchen and small honesty shop, and when cooking is to be avoided altogether it’s a 10-minute walk across fields to the nearest pub serving food. There's also a reading room with a book exchange and games to keep you entertained. For forays off site, it’s less than 10 minutes' drive to Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – where wildlife spotting, leisurely wanders and seaside strolls are all to be had – and five minutes to the nearest golf course for those who find peace on the tees.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely site, very friendly atmosphere. Clean and well maintained toilets and showers. Well kitted out facilities. Free pool table and table tennis which was nice. Plus most pitches had their own fire pit which was a nice touch. The site owner was really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Clean tidy and everything you need

Disliked: Some of the metal baskets inside the showers are rusty and not looking great.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review and I am glad we were able to offer everything you needed! You make a valid point about about the metal baskets and you may find it hard to believe that I replace these quite regularly but water and metal do not mix! You may have also seen the white plastic basket in the shower room too - but even that is not lasting very well. It is a problem. If anyone has any advice or tips on how to keep these metal shower baskets looking good - please let me know! Or maybe there is a brand that does not rust. I may take them down completely. Hopefully this won't put you off returning to visit! Best wishes Tina

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words and review. I am very pleased that you have used the word 'relaxing' as I definitely see my site as more of a retreat which is why we are always mindful of noise and don't allow music etc on site. We love dogs too and they are very welcome. Hopefully they found the doggie treats! I look forward to welcoming you back. x

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything about this site. It was exceptional!

Disliked: Electric hook up would be the icing on the cake.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Exceptional! What a lovely word to use. Thank you for your kind comments. I know everyone asks about electric hookup but sadly - with the hideous energy costs - I don't think this is something that I will be contemplating in the near future. I only hope access to the plugs and electricity inside the facilities made camping a little more pleasant for you. I look forward to welcoming you back. Warm wishes Tina

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Neatness of site. Cleanliness of facilities. Honestly shop fully stocked. Although non electric they provide hairdryers, fridge freezer, toaster, microwave and an area you can charge your phones.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: What a lovely review - thank you for your kind words. We work very hard at ensuring the site is always clean and welcoming - and it has been hard work with all the rain we have had and endless mud being carted into the shower/toilet facilities. I am so pleased you appreciated all the little electrical items. They can make such a difference to a stay - especially if the weather is poor. Thank you again and I look forward to welcoming you back. Warm wishes Tina

Local attractions

Explores of this area are a cinch for pedallers: a trip to nearby Rendlesham (a 10-minute drive) should sort wheels, and the rental place even delivers to site. Once a ride is secured, head along to Rendlesham Forest, a 15-minute drive or 25-minute cycle away, to zip along bike paths through the 1,500-hectare woodland. There’s plenty of history hereabouts to dive into too. The site’s 15 minutes from Framlingham Castle and the Anglo-Saxon king’s ship burial ground at Sutton Hoo, 35 minutes from the stunning famed Victorian pier in Southwold, and 45 minutes from Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum. Even closer at hand, it’s less than five minutes to Marlesford Mills Antiques Centre, if bargain hunting's your bag. On warmer days, make tracks for the seaside. The nearest shingle beach is at Aldeburgh, and it’s 35 minutes to the sandy, pebbled stretch at Southwold (stick around here for brewery and distillery tours, and an excellent pier). For a proper sandy beach though, Lowestoft is a must – it’s 50 minutes from base by car, or an hour on the train from the station five minutes’ drive from the site. Those seeking days among museums, shops, galleries and restaurants should take those tracks in the direction of Ipswich instead, half an hour’s train journey or car ride away.
