  • Adults-only family-run site in a quiet part of rural Suffolk
  • A 10-minute drive to Woodbridge; half an hour to Aldeburgh
  • Dog-friendly site with easy access from the A12 and heated bathrooms
Back in 2000, Michael Allen opened up Moat Barn Caravan Park to welcome guests to his lovely patch of Suffolk countryside. Location, facilities and a friendly welcome meant that it quickly became a popular place, with many customers returning time and again. Fast forward to the present day and Michael’s son James has taken the reins, aiming to continue the legacy by looking after the needs of customers old and new. The ownership may have (slightly) changed, but the setup remains the same – it’s a peaceful adults-only site with spacious pitches on closely mown grass and access to well-maintained facilities. The main facilities here are in a heated bathroom block, which has handy hairdryers and shaver plugs as well as toilets and showers; washing-up sinks and a chemical disposal point are also provided. It’s a relaxed and friendly site but you’ll be asked to observe a couple of rules: namely keeping the noise down after 9.30pm, keeping dogs on leads and making sure barbecues are raised off the ground to avoid damaging the grass. This is a sweet Suffolk location in a quiet rural area but with easy access to nearby attractions (partly as it’s only a couple of miles from the A12). Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive) is your nearest town, but the area is packed with things to see and do, and some great places to eat. Handily, James is always happy to help out with recommendations, perhaps including a couple of local secrets that visitors may not find on their own…

What customers say

This immaculate, adult-only campsite offers a peaceful countryside retreat with exceptionally clean and well-maintained facilities, including excellent hot showers. Pitches are level and spacious, and the friendly, helpful owner is frequently praised. Its quiet rural location provides a relaxing break, though transport is recommended for exploring the surrounding areas and nearby villages. Some minor feedback noted the shower block could benefit from updating and occasional Wi-Fi issues.

Ian C.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site was in a loverly quiet location, just a short drive for many attractions in Suffolk. The pitches were very spacious, close to the electric point. The toilet block was always spotlessly clean, with the other facilities all located next to it such as washing up room, fresh and waste water locations.

It was a super little site I would absolutely revisit.

Disliked There was genuinely nothing I could say I disliked here at all.

Local attractions

Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to get your bearings – it’s got lots of independent shops and cafés to try out, and the Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum to visit. It’s also on the banks of the River Deben, so you could take a waterside walk, join a boat trip or simply select a pub for a scenic pint. The town is on the edge of the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, so there are plenty of places for a walk nearby. Rendlesham Forest (15 minutes) is a particularly intriguing one, with a UFO trail giving an insight into some spottings here back in the 1980s. If it’s the ‘coast’ part of the name that grabs your interest, head to Orford Ness National Nature Reserve (25 minutes) for wildlife and war remnants, or visit the smart town of Aldeburgh (half an hour). For other days out, try National Trust - Sutton Hoo (15 minutes), Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) or shopping and cultural events at Snape Maltings (20 minutes).
