What customers say
This site has big pitches & friendly folk. Lots to do for families: play park & small animals. Facilities are decent, a bit basic for some, but showers are sorted. Handy for shops. Events can make it busier now and then.

Definitely worth a visit ..
Electric grass pitch (water hook-up)
Liked Location was great..cafe food was great, friendly staff.. great amenities.. foot golf etc
Disliked Young children up at 7.30 am on a Sunday morning kicking a football .. using my truck and the picnic table as a goal....not the children's fault... the parents
Pitches are large but tight to reverse park a caravan without driving over neighbouring pitches... use a motor mover..

From the manager: Thanks for the review and we hope to see you again.
Our wardens are always around and would be happy to help with any problems especially where other guests behaviour impacts your stay.
Our quiet times are from 10.30pm - 8am so we definitely would have had a word with the children or parents had we seen them playing so early near to the pitches.
Ok for the price but needs some updating
Electric grass pitch (large, water hook-up)
Liked Pitch sizes and play park
Disliked Facilities are not in good shape. Park looks run down and uninviting.

From the manager: I am sorry you felt we were uninviting. We have recently refurbished several of our showers for both ladies and gents to a good standard and have plenty of facilities to choose from.

Electric grass pitch (large, water hook-up)
Liked The pitch size
Disliked The fact we woke up in the morning and the peaceful campsite turned into a car park with people turning up for a marathon. People were walking over the pitches and using the benches not what we expected as there was no warnings. Could have sent an email to notify the campers.

From the manager: Hi Emma
I am sorry you weren't informed of the running event. This does usually happen and we very rarely get complaints about it. The runners are usually considerate of the campers. I know that our wardens did try to catch you several times on arrival day, as is our practice to meet and greet everyone we can. They were not able to see you on this occasion but we do advise guests of the campsite phone number and we are available for any issues or questions at any time. I will ensure that the running events are noted in the future.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Good sized site with not too many people even when it was full on a bank holiday, decent space between pitches for some privacy.
Good selection of activities directly on site to help keep kids entertained.
Most of all the staff were fantastic - very friendly and helpful; took the time to walk around and say hi on check in day; much appreciated

Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked This site well situated with a 15 minute walk into the village which has several shops and a good pub. The site is in a rural location with a a large fitness centre attached and small cafe. Toilets and showers are in a mixture of buildings but where all clean and tidy. There are several small animal pens with chickens rabbits and guinea pigs for children to look at. Plus a mini putting course . Bus routes into bury st Edmunds can be caught in the village
Overall a good experience

From the manager: Thanks for the review
Signage is always ongoing and some of ours is at ground level which with the recent rain maybe the grass had grown to obscure a little.

Disliked Nothing.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We will always try to offer the best pitch available to suit the individual needs and are very happy for guest to make contact on arrival if they would prefer an alternative pitch.
