  • On a small working farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • A 10-minute walk to the famed Sutton Hoo National Trust site
  • About a 10-minute drive to Woodbridge and Rendlesham Forest
A melodic name isn’t all Sutton Hoo has going for it… this site on a small working farm among free-range chickens is also less than a 10-minute walk from Sutton Hoo. You'll have heard of that of course: the splendid Anglo-Saxon ship burial where a warrior king lay for 1,400 years, and hailed since its discovery in the 1930s as one of the finest archaeological finds anywhere in Britain. Trips down memory lane are all around the local area too, as the park's in the age-old Suffolk Coast and Heath Area of Natural Beauty, and a 10-minute drive from the Woodbridge Tide Mill on the River Deben, one of the last in the world still churning up flour using time-honoured techniques. Visit to learn about the process through interactive activities then ply the streets and traditional stores of the pretty riverside market town of Woodbridge – it’s got a butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer (as well as more modern amenities like a supermarket, coffee shops and clothes boutiques). Get your supplies from these local producers then tote it back to the park and cook it up on the campfire while the kids and dogs run around on the big grass field opposite. And if you're after more historical expeditions once fully fed? Orford (20 minutes’ drive) and Framlingham (25 minutes) both have castles to check out, while the coastal and woodland walks near the site are sure to have you harking back to simpler times. One tree-lined place for a wander close by is Rendlesham Forest a 10-minute drive away, which is well worth a visit for its play areas, picnic spots and bike park, as well as its orienteering trails and horse riding paths.

FHU grass and sand campsite

Liked Lovely little site, nice and easy to find pitch number, site is well maintained and plenty of space for kids to run around play and explore. Absolutely perfect location to visit Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge and surrounding areas. We liked the fact you are trusted to find tour pitch and no lectures about what you can and cant do etc on site just trusted to use common sense on site

Disliked Facilities could do with a spruce up but apart from that nothing

FHU grass and sand campsite

Liked Good sized plot, with hedging on both sides for privacy
Owners sent clear directions ahead of visit
Details of allocated pitch number were up on the board on arrival
Clean shower block, never needed to queue
Children's play area in the middle of the site, but this wasn't intrusive
Location is perfect for visiting Sutton Hoo (a few minutes walk down the road), also short distances from the likes of Woodbridge, Orford and Aldeburgh

Disliked Wifi signal did not reach the pitches towards the far end of the site, but we had a good 4G mobile signal so was okay
There is some road noise for the pitches backing onto the main road, but not loud enough to disturb sleep
Because of the dry season, it was unfortunately easy to track soil into the shower block, but most guests did mop up after themselves, and the facilities were cleaned regularly too

FHU grass and sand campsite

Liked The site was clean and quiet as only a few campers were there. It was within 5 minutes walk to Sutton Hoo and also to access walks along the river to Woodbridge. There are good defined grassy pitches with hedging. The check in worked perfectly with our names and pitch numbers on a notice board when we arrived. Very flat and no chocks needed to level.

FHU grass and sand campsite

Liked The pitch was a good size and access to dog walking field.
Location is good for visiting the local area of Woodbridge and Rendlesham and Sutton Hoo itself.

Disliked Anyone could come on site - no secure exit/entrance.
Lack of warden on site = no customer service
Toilets/showers were filthy so much so we didn’t use them - felt we would come out dirtier than when we went in!
The facilities needed updating.
Couldn’t use the WiFi as it wasn’t available and no one around to ask for assistance in this matter.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry we didn't meet so I could address your issues. We had to go to Yorkshire as a friend had died suddenly and a friend was doing the cleaning. I do apologise that it wasn't how you would have liked it. If you had phoned me I would have asked a family member to come over and sort things.

FHU grass and sand campsite

Liked Our second stay here. One of our favorites in Suffolk, by far. The small privacy hedges, between pitches, are a nice touch. Lot's to do & see within walking distance of the campsite.
Clean & well maintained.

Disliked WiFi is very hit & miss. We we're close to the antenna, yet we only got a good service on day one, after that we could connect, but zero Internet. Luckily we had our own dongle.

Local attractions

Once you’ve had your wander in the woods, the water awaits: the River Deben is just the spot for fishing and sailing less than 10 minutes’ drive away. You can also hire rowing, sailing and canoeing boats and explore the islands and waterways of Thorpeness (30 minutes) and its mere or switch to the artsy coastal town of Aldeburgh (25 minutes’ drive) for strolls on the North Sea sands, catching flicks at the century-old cinema and jaunts up the old Martello Tower. Another scenic seaside village is Southwold further on at 45 minutes from the park with its Victorian pier and classic white lighthouse. And if you're into twitching? The coastal birding spots of Minsmere and Dunwich are both 40 minutes’ drive.
