Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks very much for staying and for your review.

Please tell us when you are here if you find an issue, otherwise we are unaware and cannot help!

We can put the immersion heater on if more hot water is required.

The only limit on the shower is 7 minutes for £1. You can add more if necessary..

We do not impose any limits on water usage but an awareness of the need to conserve water at this time of extreme drought is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Liked A little gem and most people return like us. Sally the owner couldn't be nicer. Chickens running around and a beautiful setting. We were allowed to BBQ subject to taking sensible precautions like wetting the grass.
We will be returning next year as we love the site and the area.

Disliked No real dislikes, but if someone flushes the toilet when you are showering the pressure drops and the shower goes cold.
So little to put up with for such a lovely site and not even worth dropping a star for

From the manager: Returning guests are very special! We loved having you here again! Thank you for your kind review.

Thanks also for over looking the low water pressure and rustic shower (it’s the very best we can do!)

I’ve come to realise that it’s more about having the right people - like you.. People who enjoy the important things that really matter .. like the environment, nature, community, wildlife, kindness, sharing, respectfulness, having real experiences…

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Best wishes,

Liked Great atmosphere, tidy campsite and friendly chickens! They have a fab set-up with hammocks in the forest and a decent old school swing set, we will definitely be returning. We also had a visit from the ice cream van!

Disliked Early-rising farmers in the neighbouring field!

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay!

We are completely surrounded by agricultural land and although harvest is an exciting time it is dusty and noisy for us all!

Hope you’ll come back again when it is not harvest time!

Liked Brilliant for family camping. The girls had an amazing time exploring the play area and wooded area. The free range chickens were a hit too.
The availability of a fridge and freezer really makes the stay that much more comfortable and practical.
Lovely small campsite, very clean and well run.

Disliked Shower was ok but as highlighted, pressure and temperature consistency is hit and miss, which is particularly frustrating trying to wash the younger children.

Liked Facilities, great welcome, perfectly clean site and a real rustic, shabby, French countryside vibe.

Such a beautiful place and ideally situated for local attractions

Please come again!

Liked The size of Sunnyside is perfect - not too big and the layout of pitches means that you have plenty of space. Owner was a lovely lady, facilities are all well maintained and clean, and we found this to be a great location for day trips around Suffolk. The community-run pub is an easy 10 min walk away and the surrounding scenery is lovely.

Disliked Nothing - this was exactly what we were looking for. The site only has one shower which we thought would be problematic but actually it was fine.

From the manager: Hey! Glad to hear that the one little shower was enough - even at a busy peak season, when we are fully booked! 👍

Thank you for staying and for appreciating what we have to offer.

Hope to see you again soon!

Liked What a beautiful campsite! Very clean and well spaced. Plenty of room between pitches, toilets were clean and snack shop provided well. Lots of bots for kids to do and chickens wandering arpund free range being marvellous. The space was well kept and we had a lovely relaxing stay! Thank you!

From the manager: Wowee! That’s so lovely to hear!

Delighted you enjoyed your stay!
Please come to camp at Sunnyside Farm again soon!

Ps re your rating 6/10 for value for money..

We hope our guests understand that because are so small we can’t compete with the prices of ‘just a field with no facilities’ or big commercial sites unfortunately.

We price per pitch which includes two people. If you are a single person it will be less cost effective for you.

However if you are a single camper (with no vehicle) we will give you 10% off (a free shower/£1) - please do enquire on arrival!

Also it is mid peak season now.. Our prices are a little bit cheaper per night in early and late season - In May/June/Sept or October, so you might wish to come camping then?

The current non peak prices are just £20 per pitch - working out at £10 per person per night. And £25 per night or £12.50 each (for two people at peak season. * price may change next year!

We understand we are more than a budget site, but hope that the low density, quiet and friendly site that we offer is well worth it!

Plus there are all the optional extras such as free tea/coffee/squash, an electric kettle, free charge points, fridge/freezers, washing up liquid, lovely ‘faith in nature’ hand soaps, hot water, a library, local maps & info, table tennis & outdoor games, hammocks, recycling & rubbish disposal, delicious food offerings at weekends (homemade cake, breakfast baps, monthly pizza nights) and a convenient and well stocked on site ‘honesty’ shop.

We really do appreciate our customers support and work really hard to ensure our prices are affordable. We think that what we offer here at Sunnyside Campsite is actually something very special and unique.

So yes, we are not the cheapest, but I do think we are very good value for money!

Many thanks! 🥰

Liked Friendly, big open green space and not on top of other pitches, quiet spot in countryside, lovely little shop, kettle with free teas & coffee - perfect for the tent users and cyclists with minimal equipment, super friendly, kids play area and fridge/freezer space fee to use. Loved the super friendly chickens who came to say hello every day.

From the manager: Fantastic! Thank you so much for your lovely words and for making the most of your stay at Sunnyside Campsite.
