Liked Peaceful and relaxing site. Level field with great facilities including hot showers. Pub and shop within 15 minute walk and central to both coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold. We will definitely be back again!

Fantastic campsite in a gorgeous location with lovely staff.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Location - lovely and quiet but walkable to excellent pub and shop. (We'd highly recommend booking a meal at The Duck pub in Campsea Ashe!) Aldeburgh beach and Sutton Hoo National Trust site are both within 20 mins drive, which are both lovely and well worth a visit.
Facilities - beautifully maintained and easily accessible. The shower rota system during peak morning times works really well, and the kitchen with kettle and toaster was great. There is also a table tennis table, pool table, and social are under a gazebo, which we really enjoyed.
Honesty Shop - really well stocked with snacks, toiletries, and camping essentials (our lighter ran out of fuel but we were able to buy matches). Honesty system is fantastic and respected by all campers - you basically log what you take and settle up at the end of your stay.
Fire Pits - free to use and our favourite bit of our stay! You can buy logs and kindling which are both very reasonably priced and very good quality and have an open fire every night if you wish. We did and it was fantastic, such a lovely touch 😊
Very dog friendly - dogs aren't just tolerated but actively welcomed and we were in heaven seeing all the pups people had brought with them! We are getting a dog shortly and will definitely be coming back to Brick Kiln with our pup.
Staff - Tina and the team were extremely friendly, welcoming, and visible and their customer service is off the charts. Our luggage rack on our car came loose during our stay and the team helped us by lending us a whole rack of allen keys to make sure it was tight and safe. This is clearly a team that loves what they do and I cannot speak of them highly enough, thank you all! ❤️
Disliked Literally nothing - this campsite is ideal if you are looking for an adults only, dog friendly site.

From the manager: I would like to personally thank you for writing such a wonderful review and to include so much detail too - thank you so much. It means the world to us. We work so hard to ensure that all our guests are happy and well looked after and this review says it all to us. I don't think you will ever know just how much this means to us - especially after a busy bank holiday. Thank you again and please come with your new pup! With love Tina and Team x
A quiet, flat site with plenty…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A quiet, flat site with plenty of space. A good range of facilities on offer. Everything from a covered seating area with a pool table and table tennis to a well stocked little shop that is run on an honesty box basis. Fridge / freezer and microwaves available for use too.
Disliked A bit of a walk to the bins at the end of the drive but thats good for getting the steps in! The site is also up a very narrow lane which may be a problem for some.

Peaceful and relaxed site
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, friendly and helpful owners. The kettle and fridge were much appreciated, as was the shelter with small tables and comfy seating. Clean and well maintained shower/toilet block too - what's not to like? Delightful stay and we'd love to come back
Disliked Nothing - it was great

The owners are friendly. Facilities are very clean. Keep coming back!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Everything - I have been at least 6 times
The shower and toilet facilities are excellent
Then there is a washing up area which includes a microwave, kettle, toaster to use and an abundance of crockery to use. There is also a fridge and freezer for campers to use.
There is a covered chill out space with plenty of comfy seats and a little pool table.
You can use their firepits and buy wood and kindling from them.
Choose your own pitch in a level well kept field.
The whole place is set up for a safe and easy camping experience.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I do like coming here for a quiet reset. Everyone follows the no music rule, which makes the atmosphere much calmer than other campsites. The use if their fire pits is always a nice option on a summers evening too.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. Yes - we welcome motorbike campers! And with so much on offer here - all you need to bring is your tent! I even do towel hire. We like campers to have plenty of space within their pitch. Thank you again. T.
Lovely site, well hosted and good facilities and very peaceful
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Good location, lovely hosts, quaint and unique facilities, good choice of pitches, covered patio/ eating area, free use of fire pits (wood chargeable), honesty shop is really well stocked
Disliked It’s not really a dislike as it worked for us but the campsite is extremely quiet (no music which is clearly advertised before you book) but it is a quiet and early to bed site x also showers were super powerful but minor. We will come back as it’s genuinely lovely
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your review! Just to clarify — we promise we’re not running a boot camp or a bedtime enforcement agency! Campers are absolutely welcome to stay up, swap stories, sip something nice, and enjoy the stars. We simply ask for consideration with noise after dark so everyone (including the owls) can get some sleep if they want it.
But if you ever do want a hot cocoa and a bedtime story, we’ll see what we can do!
The no music policy is what attracts many campers and repeat customers - for most are looking for peace and quiet. I like to think that I am running a 'retreat' for those who need to rejuvenate their souls in this frenetic life that we lead. T.
