What customers say
A peaceful, welcoming woodland site, lauded for great value and a helpful owner. Spacious pitches. Basic but clean facilities, some needing updates. Great for exploring the Suffolk coast. Occasional A12 road noise. Water pressure and minor maintenance issues have been handled.

Great site, location and facilities are sound.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Basic campsite, but with good facilities and the area is stunning.
I met the gentleman who runs the site and trust me he is a grafter who puts a lot of effort into trying to keep the place top notch.
And the cost of this campsite is decent, so please don't expect all frills, it is what it is, but a decent place to plonk down of a night with facilities.
We had an issue with electrics due to a storm, the owner sorted this right away and through the night, making sure they were all on and good still.
Great customer service in my books!
Disliked Nothing, but there was a few reviews saying how untidy it was or lack of facilities.
I disagree with these, as the campsite doesn't portray itself as anything but a campsite for a decent price in a lovely area.

A lovely little quirky site
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Lots of greenery, very quiet, flat pitch. Perfectly located for train station, local pub (10% discount on food), shops, an excellent bakery and surrounding Suffolk places we wanted to visit. It’s quirky so each toilet & shower hut has its own set of rules but they are clean and the water is hot. Good wifi
Disliked No hot water for washing up.

Could be a top campsite with a little more effort
Anonymous Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lively location situ amongst young trees and pitches are a good distance apart.
Disliked Lots and lots of discarded items dumped in random places around the site made it look bit like a rubbish tip, the toilets and showers could do with a update. But the site could be really special place with a bit more attention to detail everything seems half finished.

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Lovely quiet rural site, expected no frills but had much more facilities than expected and extremely well looked after. Spacious pitches, dog loved it and Jaik was extremely helpful. Love the use of old materials throughout site which makes it homely and old school, rather than a posh campsite (which we hate!). Would stay again.

Rustic. Would return
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The position of the site is ideal for visiting many local attractions. Our pitch was generous and we weren’t aware of road noise, which others had mentioned , possibly because it was a Sunday night. The setting in light woodland is very pretty and our host was pleasant and helpful. The nearby Fox Inn served a fabulous late lunch and we also spotted a super farm shop in the vicinity which is open 7 days. There are plenty of places to walk your dog. Hardcore was being laid to improve the access tracks and prepare for the season
Disliked The facilities are basic and clean and could do with some TLC. Parts of it were untidy but that is because work was going on . Can imagine in peak season that there will be queuing. The washing up station only had cold water but a range of washing up liquids!
