Suffolk site with well-drained grass pitches on the edge of Snape
A 10-minute drive from Aldeburgh on the Suffolk Heritage Coast
Half an hour’s walk from Snape Maltings and three dog-friendly pubs

What a patch of land this is. Croft Farm Camping, on the edge of the village of Snape, is home to green fields with well-draining sandy Suffolk soil that holds up quite nicely even after wet weather. There are walks right from the gate – the Sandlings Walk, plus miles of trails across the coast, heathlands and countryside – and three dog-friendly village pubs within half an hour’s walk, all with seasonal menus suitable for a big appetite. What else might you want to know about this place? Well, the simple facilities include toilets, showers and chemical disposal, and barbecues are permitted. Dogs are welcome, and they should very much appreciate those local walks. The sea is only five miles away, too: Aldeburgh is the closest spot, just a 10-minute drive from the site, and forms part of the Suffolk Heritage Coast, which stretches for about 50 miles (with plenty of splendid shingle beaches and seaside towns to visit). Croft Farm Camping is about half an hour’s walk away from scenic Snape Maltings, where there’s a concert hall and just-lovely riverside walks. Those strolls can always end at one of the cafés along the river Alde; allowing extra time is always a good idea too, as there are independent shops and galleries to browse around. If you’re keen to get in some time on your bike, good news: there’s a cycling route along the Suffolk coast and waymarked mountain-biking trails (with pretty epic features like manmade bomb craters and sandpits) in Tunstall Forest, 15 minutes’ drive away, and Rendlesham Forest, 20 minutes away.

What customers say

This is a new, well-kept campground with friendly, helpful hosts. Guests loved the clean washrooms, spacious sites, and quiet vibe. It's perfectly located for exploring nearby attractions like Snape Maltings and Aldeburgh, with great walking trails. A few noted limited wind shelter, busy facilities at times, and a temporary hot water issue in the dishwashing area, which the manager is looking into. Overall, guests found it great value and many want to come back.

Powered grass campsite (XL)

Liked Beautiful setting on a farm with plenty of walks around. The pitches on the large field were massive with plenty of room for tent cars and extra shelters. Toilet and shower blocks were very clean. Enclosed field for exercising dogs and generally very dog friendly. Shop nearby. Short distance to local attractions. Very quiet and peaceful.

Disliked Not hot water for washing up. Only 2 showers and 4 toilets. The electric terminals were a large distance from the pitch allocated.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Exactly what we needed. A lovely site close to the links into Aldeburgh. Hosts were welcoming and chatty.
Utilised hot water from the shower to wash up whilst they get the hot water plumbing into the washing up area.

Disliked Super clean toilet block however I would like to have had a ladies only loo.

Liked Clean, well kept site with good shower block, toilets and cleaning area. Plus freezer for freezer blocks. Generous pitches, with plenty of room around the site to never feel congested like some places. Plenty around nearby for a stroll or short drive. Warm welcome from owners and great welcome pack with lots of local information including what is on nearby when we arrived. Will be returning.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked A great welcome from Richard, Tina and Hendrix. A peaceful setting, close enough to Snape Maltings to walk to.
Great sized pitch. Hot, modern showers. Extremely clean loos. Well maintained.
This site is in its infancy but, once completed, it will everything a camper will need.

Disliked Not enough showers and toilets when site is busy, no hot water in wash-up area but watch this space, they are on their way.
