  • Busy, well-equipped site surrounded by the open Suffolk countryside
  • Half an hour’s drive from Sutton Hoo; 45 minutes from the coast
  • Shop, restaurant, miniature golf, owl sanctuary and play area on site
Looking for a Suffolk spot with lots of open space? The dog-friendly Stonham Barns Holiday Park might hit the sweet spot. Well-placed for the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside and coast, this place is equal parts relaxing and active. The latter is very much helped by the fact that the site is part of the Stonham Barns Golf Park site, which has a whole host of family-friendly (and quite frankly fabulous) attractions… There’s a pirate-themed miniature golf course, a sensory room and a funfair with rides and bumper cars, which should all prove a hit with pint-sized guests. No need to go hunting in the trees: the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary on site has over 80 owls and daily flying displays featuring birds of prey. Catch a comedy or tribute act at the Aspal Theatre, sojourn at the fishing lakes or get creative at the pottery painting studio, all of which are on site. Among these attractions are handy foodie places too. There’s a tearoom if you’re craving an afternoon tea and cake, a restaurant powered by local produce and a village shop selling essential food fare. These pair well with the bar and clubhouse, which has sports screens and celebrity evenings, and a shopping village full of niche independent shops. Along with a showground hosting weekly events like car or dog shows and a Sunday car boot fair, these are all one to two minutes’ walk from the pitches. On the immediate site, however, the facilities include showers, toilets, a washing-up area, disabled facilities, wifi, a kids’ play area and spaces for kids to run around and let off steam. There's also a post office on site which provides cash back and other banking services.

What customers say

This large, bustling site offers tons of activities for families, like a shopping village and funfair. Pitches are spacious, staff are friendly. However, washrooms are dated and often not clean. Some found it noisy and expensive for what's offered.

Liked End pitch was a nice size close to the bushes. Cafe and bar was nice. The kids enjoyed footgolf and crazy golf. Some cool shops to have a nosey around. Staff around the park and stores were very welcoming.

Disliked Bathroom wasn't cleaned regularly. Washing machine was very expensive aswell as the store on site. Didn't like anyone could come in at any hours had some strange car activity throughout our stay coming in using toilet and leaving, full beams coming through tent etc . This was around midnight.didnt see any security on site which is abit of a worry. Park could do with some extra play equipment like swing etc. Pitches were very close together. Other campers on site were very good at keeping to quiet times apart from 1 night. If it was a constant not much you can do as noone to complain to.woukd have to deal with it yourself which some wouldn't be comfortable doing.

Liked The open spaces for frisbee and balls, WiFi was much better than expected, clean toilets, crazy golf was great and owl sanctuary even better we made the most of the wrist bands and went back again later on. This was our first time caravanning the lady who showed us to the pitch was really friendly and helpful. Lots of space caravans were well spread out we were expecting to be squashed in. 15 min drive to Stowmarket. Great site would definitely recommend

Liked Great Comuncation when arrived, friendly camp. Great stuff for kids. Loving the shops, very reasonable. Never seen a place with so many toilets lol. Great location, easy to find.
Reasonable priced.
Would come again with kids.

Disliked Not much info on fishing. Toilets were needed updating. Not sure how often they were cleaned.

From the manager: Thank you for the review! We will work on including more fishing information in the welcome packs.

Liked Been coming to Stonham for a weekend every year and it has improved with the opening of the sports bar and new play area in the main centre replacing the bouncy pillow from previously. Sites always pretty clean and well maintained. Great facilities with the little village and car boot on weekends, along with show ground and owl sanctuary. Lots to keep entertain for a weekend.

Disliked The vile stench around the site, mainly by the toilet block and the main play area. The grass feels like it’s never cut on the touring pitches and is way too long. The play area by the touring pitches isn’t great at all, for such a family orientated site with so much space, so much more could be done with it to make it better. We’ve decided to stop at a different site moving forwards for these reasons.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We will look at addressing these points

Local attractions

With all the attractions on site, it might be a while till you look outwards in search of entertainment. However, when you do, the Suffolk coastline is splendidly within reach, as the site is on the A1120 tourist road. Thorpeness (50 minutes' drive), Aldeburgh (45 minutes) Southwold (50 minutes) deliver on walks, watersports and simple seaside amusements. This is also an excellent place to channel your inner historian and deep dive into the past. Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) is a Norman castle with a walk across the 10-metre-high walls. Sutton Hoo (half an hour) is just as spectacular, with two medieval cemeteries where a ship with Anglo-Saxon pieces was found. Perhaps pretty walks and eating out in restored Victorian buildings next? Snape Maltings (40 minutes) on the river Alde is a splendid setting for strolls and cycles, whether around the riverside loop or joining the Suffolk Coast Cycle Route 41. Take in the scenery on a river boat or sip on something caffeinated in the many independent eating venues in the Victorian buildings.
