  • 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…

This is a well-maintained, peaceful, and generally quiet adult-only campsite. Pitches are flat, spacious, and clean, with excellent toilet and shower facilities that are frequently praised for their cleanliness and hot water. The owner is consistently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive to site upkeep.

Liked The campsite was so clean and quiet- even on a Bank Holiday weekend! It was full but everyone was quiet and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The facilities were extremely clean. The surrounding area is full of interesting places to visit.

Vicky O.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely, quiet site.
Friendly and very helpful owner.
Clean toilet/shower block.
Great washing up facilities with plenty of hot water.
Washing machine! (Definitely needed after 2 weeks away!)
Very level and tidy pitches - James (owner) was straight out with the lawnmower as soon as someone left to keep the pitches looking immaculate!

Disliked Not really a dislike, but all all the pitches were electric, which you had to pay for whether you needed it or not. Although we were in a campervan, we didn't use the hookup as we have a solar panel. Would have been good to have had the option.

Liked We loved how clean and quiet Moat Barn was and James was an excellent host. The site is small but that’s what makes it so special. The facilities are excellent, the showers are hot and powerful and clean. The pitch was large and there is ample room on the site, the WiFi was also excellent and didn’t drop out at all during our four day stay.

We will come back here.

Longer unit electric grass pitch

Liked This campsite was just lovely to stay at. Well maintained and spotlessly clean it was just perfect. There were 2 showers and 2 toilets with 2 basins in the women’s block, I believe it’s the same in the men’s. I worried that it was going to be hard to get into considering the amount of pitches but I needn't have worried, I didn’t have to wait for any of the facilities once! They were also spotlessly clean and was lovely to have a nice hot shower.
There was a communal fridge and freezer which was so handy to be able to refreeze our ice packs. The washing up sinks were also clean and very handy.
The camp itself was clean and tidy and so quiet, no traffic noise it was just complete relaxation. Everyone was really friendly and our dogs had a lovely time too. James was really friendly and welcoming and had good local knowledge.
WiFi signal was great! Overall good value for money.
The only thing I will say is there is nothing around for miles so if you don’t mind walking then you’ll be alright otherwise you’ll need some sort of transport to get anywhere. Would love to stay again!

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).
