Rose Orchards Wild Camping

Syntes om Quiet location, fairly flat , very close to local town.
Rose and husband great hosts.

Syntes ikke om Pitches too close together, need to be less on site.
Plastic porta Loos, didn’t flush, no lights in the ladies.
Too many pitches for my liking.

Syntes om Good location, easy drive to Beccles and Bungay.

Syntes ikke om The camping pitches are very close together which is a relatively small field does not provide much space.

The toilets are portaloo’s but did not flush consistently / properly.

The owners could be overheard talking about onsite guests with other customers. The gossiping nature was not professional or discrete.

Syntes om We booked a last minute camping trip with our friend, to test out our new camping equipment close to home for us and for £20 you can’t argue with the price good value for money. We also took our dog with us. We would highly recommend this site. The owners Luke and Rose were very lovely and helpful. We enjoyed our one night stay but we will be booking again with our kids as there is plenty for them to do. Thank you both for the lovely stay.

Syntes om Site was clean (excluding toilets)

Syntes ikke om Unfortunately, our experience here wasn’t what we had hoped for. We found the atmosphere quite uncomfortable, particularly due to the way the owners interacted with us and other campers. There were also quite a few negative comments made about other guests, which didn’t create the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere we would expect from a campsite. I then spoke to the other campers about what had been said about them, to which Rose then decided to also confront me about it too saying how she didn’t expect me to repeat what was said. In my opinion, slating customers to customers isn’t acceptable.

There was an issue involving the children’s play area, particularly the trampoline. There were children trying to play, including my son who was told by the owners’ children that they had to get off because it was “their” play equipment. While the owner did come over and speak to her children saying ‘I understand this is your play area, but you need to share’ it still left me feeling uncomfortable with my child being put in that position in the first place. As paying guests, we would expect the facilities advertised as part of the campsite to be available for all children to enjoy and not as a part of someone’s personal back garden. This felt especially prominent when they sat on a bench and watched all of the campsite until it was getting dark. Leading to an uneasy feeling of being watched and unable to fully relax, only adding to the ‘backyard camping’ vibe.


There was also an honesty box selling eggs on site. Unfortunately, when we cracked one of the eggs we found it was black inside. Obviously I couldn’t say how long the eggs had been there or how they had been stored, but it wasn’t great to find this when the eggs were being sold to campers and could make someone very unwell. The portaloo facilities by the honesty box were the only available toilets, and left much to be desired. Although Rose did attempt to clean them, whenever you tried to flush you also tried not to breathe as the smell was overwhelming. Although we were told as we were leaving someone was coming to empty them, I don’t know when they were cleaned or serviced last as they were obviously HEAVILY used and in need of some serious attention.

We also felt that the photographs online didn’t really reflect the campsite. The setting felt much more like camping in someone’s private garden than the impression we had got from the pictures.

There were also several wasps nests around us, the owners did put some concrete slap pieces over them. Asked if we wanted to move our tent, but it was getting late so I chose to stay where we were.

I get that everyone enjoys different vibes, but It wasn’t a relaxed, comfortable feel. It was a lot smaller than anticipated. I’m glad it was quiet as I probably wouldn’t have stayed if it were busy as it would have been way to cramped for me to enjoy if all the pitches were full. Overall I can’t say I’d recommend this pop up campsite, and will not be returning.

Syntes om As soon as we pulled on to this campsite it had a lovely vibe. It is very small and compacted, where ever you pitch you can watch your children and they are very safe. There are no showers and only portable loo, very clean. This is a wild camping pop up site and we loved it. The couple who run the site are the most friendly and helpful couple and nothing is too much trouble, including feeding the ducks and collecting the eggs, my 6 year old granddaughter had an amazing time and did not want to leave. Would we camp here again....most definitely.

Syntes om We really enjoyed our short stay at Rose Orchard Camping.
Rose and Luke were very friendly and helpful.
Our children loved the range of play equipment.
It's the ideal base for visiting the Beccles Lido and walking in the lovely surrounding countryside.
