Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Stunning view at this location. Lovely and quiet and within easy reach of beautiful villages. Our friends lived in Ipswich and on the evening they visited for beers and toasted marshmallows, they did not want to go home. Sarah could not do enough for folk from Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland. Facilities were immaculate.

Disliked: Nothing!!!!

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Delightful small campsite with great views. Great thought and care has gone into all facilities: spotless toilets, generous spotless showers, good washing up area etc. pub within walking distance.

Disliked: Not much but as a single woman I was aware of my security on a small site with (on my one night midweek stay) only two other pitches occupied on the other side of the lake. The farm road up to the site was pretty steep which made me nervous in my motorhome (I am not experienced) but was actually fine. Food was interesting - a little separate but beside the pub (8mins walk by road, 15 mins thro fields) run by someone expert in smoking meat. The eating area was American diner style (well done) but they hadn’t heard of vegetables. I wouldn’t want to eat there two nights running- but of course I could have eaten in the van.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments, we agree that the American diner is great and Simon is definitely an expert in smoked meats.. The loaded fries are AMAZING! Glad you enjoyed our facilities and recognised the care that has gone into creating and maintaining them. Look forward to welcoming you back.

Local attractions

If you’ve got kids in tow, treat them to encounters with ridiculously cute goats and sheep at Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm (15 minutes’ drive) and if the weather’s good, there are lots of spots for picnics there too. Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park (20 minutes) is another sure-fire hit with the kids, with anteater handling and donkey-grooming sessions, while you can all try the inflatable obstacle course at Alton Water Sports Centre (half an hour), or maybe have a go at dinghy sailing. Keen to get some more casting practice in? Suffolk Water Park (10 minutes) has a large fishing lake and a bait shop, plus a waterfront café, a nine-hole golf course and putting green for any none-fishers among you. For a big night out, hit Ipswich Waterfront (half an hour) with its riverside bars and bistros, and then catch a concert or an art exhibition at St Peter's by the Waterfront (20 minutes), in a former church.
