Plenty of space for kids to have fun
Open fields

  • 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 campsite has loads of activities & amenities, with guests loving the friendly staff & big pitches. The Legends Bar, shops & attractions are a hit. However, the toilets/showers are often called dated & not super clean, with some noting hot water issues. Still, many recommend it for families & entertainment.

Liked Great staff.
Quiet even whilst fairly busy close by.
Minute walk from the showground.
Toilets were clean.
Cleaners were there first thing and were very pleasant.

Disliked Caravan storage area makes the place look a little shabby as you pull up but I was pleasantly surprised overall.

Liked Lovely tidy site, team are lovely.
Toilets were always clean.
We went for swedefest which was at the showground next door and the campsite was a perfect distance.
The only issue we had was a noisy person screaming the place down Saturday night until 1130/45pm but that wasn’t the campsites fault :) we will be back again

Disliked A bigger play park or update the one they have due to broken ropes and a bit dated but kids still loved it 😊

Liked Good for what we went for swedefest. Have improved since last visit 2 years ago. New owners friendly and flexible. Showers cleaner and hot did see them being cleaned at least this time they were usable.

Disliked Some locks on toilet doors broken, but they were clean and always had paper showers were hot don't look very appealing from. Outside but we're usable

Liked Legends clubhouse open 7 days a week from 4pm. Cafe 24 with its excellent menu, Antique shops. Garden centre. Reclaim yard. Dog grooming shops. Huge dog friendly site with dogs on leads allowed in all venues except the Owl Sanctuary Museum and the Village Stores both of which is understandable. Alcohol cheap at £4ish a pint in clubhouse and cafe 24. More on at weekends with bingo, huge showground events and separate car boot sale area.

Disliked Very limited menu in the clubhouse for evening meal restricted to pizza or burgers really with a few sides of chips or nachos available. Jacket potatoes also available.
Not our cup of tea but fishing lake and 9 hole golf course seemed popular but crazy golf looked good.

Liked 2nd time here. This time instead of the tent. We brought our caravan. Had the choice of where we wanted to pitch and we had a fab time. Just relaxing and enjoying our time away.
Staff again very friendly and welcoming and very helpful also.

As this site has been taken over by new owners. Everything like the toilets and shower blocks will be sorted and replaced or fixed in due course

New owners took over 2026

Disliked We had very heavy rain for a day 😂

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.
