  • Quiet Suffolk site in Eyke, 10 minutes' drive from Woodbridge
  • A 20-minute drive from the beaches at Aldeburgh and Thorpeness
  • Local village pub a mile away
Golfing, going to the beach, or maybe getting out for a forest walk… it’s all going on around Gralyn's Caravan Park, a quiet little Suffolk site just outside the village of Eyke and 10 minutes’ drive from Woodbridge. From here it’s an easy amble to the trails of Rendlesham Forest, a 20-minute drive to the splendid Suffolk coast beaches at Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, and a five-minute drive/15-minute bike ride to Sutton Hoo. Other top-notch activities can be had nearby too: there are two golf courses within a 10-minute drive, fishing lakes less than five minutes away and river boat trips around 25 minutes away. Plus, of course, that most excellent of rural activities: the pub trip, which can be had at the end of a mile-long half-hour walk. Back at base, there’s a warm welcome for all who’d like to come and stay here: the site has been set up to be accessible to less mobile guests, it’s got play areas for the smaller travellers and it’s happy to have dog companions along too.

Liked: We enjoyed our stay here. Children aged 8 and 10 enjoyed the small park and they had their bikes to occupy them. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Not much to do around and about 45 minutes into Southwold but worth the trip. A nice quiet stay with basic but clean facilities.

Liked: If you’re looking for somewhere the kids can just run around and be free, without the constant ‘I want/can I have…’ then this is the place. Small, open space site. Toilets and showers are nice, cleaned regularly and what they should be. Nicer than any other camp site I’ve been to previously. There’s a communal fridge freezer, microwave & kettle which are well kept. Amy & family are lovely, they do a great job and couldn’t have been more accommodating. We had issues with our tent on our first day when we were out, Amy rescued our tent and gave me a call straight away to let me know and to tell me she fixed it. She also helped some other campers the following day who were struggling too. She has a little shop onsite, which has everything you may need, other than alcohol. Location is perfect with lots to do nearby. We genuinely cannot wait to go back! No wifi, but why would you want it? Isn’t the whole point that you get away from technology and enjoy time outside!

Disliked: Not a single thing!

Liked: Arriving at Gralyns we found the site was so welcoming and a relaxing place to spend a weeks holiday. Amy went out of her way to make sure we were all happy and catered for, nothing was too much trouble and any issues were sorted without hesitation. With being there a week, we met many different people all with the same thoughts at how welcoming and peaceful the site was. The onsite shop has many different essentials you may need or have left behind and I could not recommend it enough. We were so disappointed to leave after such a beautiful week away, we will certainly be back to Gralyns in the near future!

Local attractions

Keen to stretch your legs, perhaps with dog in tow? Get over to Rendlesham Forest (45 minutes’ walk/five minutes’ drive), where you can amble along a three-mile trail with info about the woods' intriguing past. For a further delve into history, walk the walls of sprawling Framlingham Castle (20 minutes' drive) or head to Sutton Hoo estate (five minutes), home to a seventh-century royal burial ground, an exhibition of ancient finds and a full-sized Anglo-Saxon ship sculpture. Swing by in summer and you’ll often find history themed goings-on in progress around the estate or in the open-air theatre. Also very much worth a visit are the beaches of the Suffolk coast: it’ll take around 20 minutes to drive to arty Aldeburgh, or 25 minutes to Thorpeness to hire boats to paddle around the Peter Pan-themed lake.
