Chris S.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (woodland)

Liked Nice proprietors. Very large pitches separated by bushes and trees. Water and firebox at every pitch. Peaceful. Access to riverside with lots of birds. No cars on pitches which we like - push all your stuff from the carpark in a wheelbarrow :-).

Disliked Pitches rather bumpy and not very easy to find a flat level spot.

A great campsite, almost like wild camping, but with the added convenience…

Axel F.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (woodland)

Liked A great campsite, almost like wild camping, but with the added convenience of having running water at each pitch, a picnic bench, too, and a toilet and shower block. All pitches are secluded, hence you feel like being all by yourself and not on a campsite. Sam went the extra length (in 28 degrees heat) to find us a pitch with a shorter walk to the beach. Will definitely come back 👍

Unique, quiet, relaxing, & old school.

Kerry M.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (woodland)

Liked Absolutely loved this site. So unique. Not many places you can camp surrounded by Christmas trees ! Sam was so helpful and gave me a hand putting my tent up which was much appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble. View of the river and 5 min walk to the river beach. Composting toilets which were unique but spotless and did not smell. Will be back 😊

Liked The whole site and the close proximity to the River Stour Estuary. A peaceful retreat from a busy life up to now. For any interested in Bird Watching the Oyster Catchers were plentiful on the estuary beach.

Liked I loved this site. The pitches feel so individual and private. Water tap, fire pit, and picnic bench on the pitch. All we needed. Very pretty, very relaxing.

Local attractions

Alton Water Sports Centre is set in 400 acres of countryside, where you can wander walking and cycling tracks, go fishing and try out watersports on the reservoir. All equipment, as well as bikes, can be hired at the sports centre. Suffolk Ski Centre (both 15 minutes’ drive) also has some high-octane activities, from snowboarding to skiing on the dry ski slope. More gentle local pursuits might include visiting National Trust-owned attractions including Pin Mill (10 minutes), the setting for Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’ on the Orwell estuary, and Flatford Mill (half an hour) in Constable Country, an area with glorious trails for hiking and cycling alongside the river Stour. Spoil well-behaved kids with a day out among the rare-breed animals and reptiles at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park (20 minutes), where you can also set them up with experiences like anteater-feeding sessions. And if everybody’s keen to get down to the waterside, you can walk to Harkstead river beach directly from the campsite in 15 minutes – but remember to check the tide times.
