On a small working farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A 10-minute walk to the famed Sutton Hoo National Trust site
About a 10-minute drive to Woodbridge and Rendlesham Forest

A melodic name isn’t all Sutton Hoo has going for it… this site on a small working farm among free-range chickens is also less than a 10-minute walk from Sutton Hoo. You'll have heard of that of course: the splendid Anglo-Saxon ship burial where a warrior king lay for 1,400 years, and hailed since its discovery in the 1930s as one of the finest archaeological finds anywhere in Britain. Trips down memory lane are all around the local area too, as the park's in the age-old Suffolk Coast and Heath Area of Natural Beauty, and a 10-minute drive from the Woodbridge Tide Mill on the River Deben, one of the last in the world still churning up flour using time-honoured techniques. Visit to learn about the process through interactive activities then ply the streets and traditional stores of the pretty riverside market town of Woodbridge – it’s got a butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer (as well as more modern amenities like a supermarket, coffee shops and clothes boutiques). Get your supplies from these local producers then tote it back to the park and cook it up on the campfire while the kids and dogs run around on the big grass field opposite. And if you're after more historical expeditions once fully fed? Orford (20 minutes’ drive) and Framlingham (25 minutes) both have castles to check out, while the coastal and woodland walks near the site are sure to have you harking back to simpler times. One tree-lined place for a wander close by is Rendlesham Forest a 10-minute drive away, which is well worth a visit for its play areas, picnic spots and bike park, as well as its orienteering trails and horse riding paths.

The site with the small play area in the centre and pitches dotted around.

Our pitch for the week. a regular home from home.

The children's playground in the middle of the site.

Relaxing with grandchildren. the site is perfect for little ones to scooter.

Excellent site let down slightly by the facilities.

Sally L. May 2025

Fully-serviced grass and sand site

Liked: A great site for access to Sutton Hoo, obviously! Pitches are really big and are fully serviced. It was busy but not noisy and very restful.

Disliked: The facilities are fairly basic. 2 loos and 2 showers for the ladies. A rather grim bucket half full of murky brown water and a mop that had seen better days was left for you to clean your shower out but it didn’t look as though anyone had felt it would have left the shower cleaner.
There was wi fi in theory but certainly on pitch 8 it was easier to use 4G.

Sam S. May 2025

Fully-serviced grass and sand site

Liked: Everything about the campsite is lovely, the shower block is the cleanest I've ever seen on a campsite, the pitches are very spacious and nicely separated from each other, there's a park in the middle of the site which my boy was very happy with, you can hire a firepit with logs to use which we didn't make use of this time but definitely will next time we go. This is by far one of my favourite sites I've ever stayed at.

A sunny place to stay, owners always helpful if you need them but not intrusive.

Fully-serviced grass and sand site

Liked: The site was well maintained. The shower/toilet block was modern and clean. There were two showers for men and two for ladies which was more than adequate as site only half full. It is within easy walking distance of Sutton Hoo which was where we wanted to go. The owners were available to talk to, with the number on the board, as I had a query when I arrived. Names and pitch numbers were also marked on a board for easy identification.

Unpowered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked: Just about everything! Spacious, flat pitch with hedges to the side and trees behind; free Wi-Fi; clean and pleasant loos and showers; use of fridge and freezer; easy booking in system; friendly, helpful but unobtrusive owners; dog-walking field; central point for exploring; May blossom...

Disliked: Road noise...couldn't imagine why there was such traffic!!! It didn't spoil the holiday, but it was a shame.

Local attractions

Once you’ve had your wander in the woods, the water awaits: the River Deben is just the spot for fishing and sailing less than 10 minutes’ drive away. You can also hire rowing, sailing and canoeing boats and explore the islands and waterways of Thorpeness (30 minutes) and its mere or switch to the artsy coastal town of Aldeburgh (25 minutes’ drive) for strolls on the North Sea sands, catching flicks at the century-old cinema and jaunts up the old Martello Tower. Another scenic seaside village is Southwold further on at 45 minutes from the park with its Victorian pier and classic white lighthouse. And if you're into twitching? The coastal birding spots of Minsmere and Dunwich are both 40 minutes’ drive.
