  • Small, secluded back-to-basics farm site with a nature pond
  • A 10-minute drive from Halesworth; 20 minutes from Southwold
  • Play area and shared fridge freezer; friendly pub five minutes’ walk
Small is beautiful, so surround yourself with beauty at Sunnyside Campsite, a one-acre site with grassy pitches framed by ash trees and hawthorn hedges. This peaceful meadow is also easily accessible by public transport – Brampton station is a 30-minute walk (or a 10-minute bike ride) from base. This pretty farm site has a nature pond, a kids’ play area and a tumbledown old stable that houses the spick-and-span toilets and water point. Other handy facilities include a washing-up area and a shared fridge freezer. Campfires and barbecues are allowed (as long as they’re raised off the ground), and firepits are available to hire on site, while logs and charcoal can be purchased from the little honesty shop. Fish suppers are on the cards on Thursdays, when a visiting van comes round to sell fresh, locally caught seafood. Sunnyside Campsite is in a prime location for cyclists, who can set out on long- or short-distance pedals along National Cycle Route 1, which passes right at the end of the lane. Walkers and folk who like messing around in boats also have lots of options: the Suffolk coastline can be reached in under 20 minutes’ drive, while the Norfolk Broads are less than a half-hour away. The site is a few minutes’ stroll from a friendly community pub and a village play area. Cafés, restaurants and a larger supermarket are all in Halesworth (10 minutes’ drive).

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Love everything about Sunnyside. The hosts Sally and Richard are so welcoming and work hard with all the extra special touches like play areas for the children’s, pizza night, weekly cake sales and small things like flowers in the loo which just make it feel homely and so unique. Just love that it’s so safe that kids get to be kids and we adults got to sit and breathe without worrying.

Disliked The pub is a whole 5 minute walk…. Lol joking 🙃

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Perfic! That’s exactly the vibe we’re aiming for!

Thank you for being brilliant guests and making the best of everything!

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Liked Loved the small site, the childrens play area, the ping pong table and hammocks. Liked that the children could run freely without worry and the flowers in the bathrooms were a lovely touch. The store was super and it all felt rustic, simple and authentic. Great location too near the seaside.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Everything! This is our fourth visit and always our favourite site. Lovely and quiet, great woodland area for kids and good facilities including a little store and communal fridge. Just 20 mins from Southwold too.

We walked to the local pub (The Racehorse) for a roast and it didn't disappoint.

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: So good to hear! Thank you for your kind review.

Thanks for supporting the community pub too! It’s great to have a good local within walking distance.

Local attractions

The sandy beach at Southwold (20 minutes) is dominated by the white bulk of the 19th-century Southwold Lighthouse and lined by colourful wooden huts. Stroll along the long pier, stopping for ice cream or fish and chips, then head into town and the Southwold Museum for a primer on local history. With their reed-lined ponds and shallow lagoons, the marshes of RSPB Minsmere (30 minutes) are home to avocets, curlews and marsh harriers – plus the occasional (but elusive) otter. Just up the coast from there, National Trust - Dunwich Heath and Beach becomes a colourful riot of purple heather in the summer. The tall spire of the cathedral in Norwich (45 minutes) is visible from far and wide. Explore the interior of this splendid 11th-century church, strolling through the cloisters and the choir, where (if you’re lucky) you might meet Budge, the cathedral cat. The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell explores the history of the area.
