  • Country pub, bar and restaurant with spacious beer garden
  • A 10-minute drive from Beccles and the start of the Broads
  • Two miles from the River Waveney and 30 minutes' drive from the coast
Pitching up by a pub – always a clever move. Be very sensible indeed with a Suffolk stay at the Wheatacre White Lion, where a swish bar, full menu and scenic setting are all for the taking. Pub first? The White Lion is a country pub, bar and restaurant acclaimed for its food, all prepared fresh by its experienced chefs. There’s an excellent selection of wines and ales to pick from too, to have in the pub, alongside dinner in the spacious dining room, or over an idle hour or two in the handsome beer garden. The team prides itself on providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to all guests, whether you’re there for a quick drink, a family meal or a couples’ dinner. And… you’ll need somewhere to totter back to after all that. The campsite part of the White Lion has free wifi, chemical disposal and charging facilities, and welcomes families and motorbikers as well as groups. Barbecues are allowed. And the setting? The White Lion is in green countryside a couple of miles from the River Waveney, 10 minutes’ drive from the teeny town of Beccles. It’s well placed for adventuring all around Suffolk and into Norfolk: the Broads are just to the north, the seaside at Lowestoft is half an hour’s drive away, and Norwich is within 45 minutes.

What customers say

This quiet, tidy site has ample, flat pitches near a great pub with delicious food. Staff and pub vibe are often praised. Downsides: no on-site toilets/showers (only pub ones), and occasional overflow parking.

Liked Pub was good and they managed to fit us in for a late Sunday lunch. Pitches were wide and flat. We were the only ones staying, it was very quiet.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Peaceful even though close to pub and customers also parked cars in field. Well spaced pitches. Ok for a night or two to explore area. Good in pub very good,

Disliked When we first pulled in, we needed to fill up with water. Where the water tap is, there was very unsightly piles of wood, and toot lying around. Looked awful! Saving grace you can’t see it once you are on your pitch. Bins were already overflowing so very difficult to dispose of our waste.

Great place to stay but use your own bathroom/shower.

Liked The excellent pub on the site is in excellent condition and sells a wide range of food and drink. The campsite is right behind the pub and within a 2 mile walk to the Waverney Marian.

Disliked Toilet and shower facilities are very poor.

Local attractions

To the coast? It’s half an hour’s drive from the pub to Lowestoft, Britain’s most easterly town and home to a lengthy beach, a lengthy pier and beach huts that you will want to possess right this instant thank you very much. At Southwold (half an hour along the coast from Lowestoft, or reach it straight from the site in the same distance), there’s another pier and sandy beach, a nine-hole golf course and more colourful beach huts, as well as tours and tastings at Adnams Brewery – gin included. Or stay inland to access the Broads National Park and the River Waveney waterways from local town Beccles, such as the coastal lagoon of Oulton Broad: have an afternoon here to spy otters and wading birds around RSPB Minsmere, have a guided tour or take one of the nature trails. The reserve also runs regular family days and events at its Wild Zone and Wild Wood Adventure area. (If that’s whetted the kids’ appetites for Suffolk theme parks, Pleasurewood is 10 minutes’ drive outside Lowestoft, or 25 minutes from the site.) Norwich is the most convenient starting point if you’re day tripping by public transport: Great Yarmouth is 45 minutes away by train, Ipswich just under an hour and a half, and London just under two hours.
