What customers say
Spacious, tranquil pitches, great facilities for families, and brilliant staff. Close to pubs and village. Facilities are "rustic" but clean. Lovely walks nearby. Site can be busier during events.

Great back to basics site with family activities.
Non-electric grass tent pitch (solo, no pets, no cars)
Liked Stayed here for a night during a bicycle trip - nice flat pitch, plenty of info before the night and lots of activities on site. Very basic toilets which I don't mind and clear rules which I appreciate. Quick bike ride into the village where there's a couple of decent shops, which was a bit of a godsend for me after a long ride.

Electric grass pitch (water hook-up)
Liked The staff were all lovely and very helpful
There's was so much on site to do....
We enjoyed the Escape room, Archery, crazy Golf and Kick golf.
Disliked Although warned of one day where there was likely to be a power cut. There were several other unexpected ones over night.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed all the activities.
The planned power cut didn't actually materialize but we wanted to make sure everyone was prepared.
The over night ones were local general unplanned power cuts involving main overhead power lines in the area and nothing to do with the site at all.
Overall a nice site but needs better washing facilities.
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice site, large flat pitches, convenient location, quiet, two pubs with food and three supermarket type shops for provisions and a chippy in the village nearby in walking distance.
Disliked Lack of washing facilities (e.g. for just a wash, cleaning teeth, shaving etc.) other than a outdoor hand basin in the toilet area or one in a shower cubicle in the same area - obviously not available if the shower was in use. Fridge/freezer erratic so could not rely on it to freeze cool-box blocks. A phone charging facility would be useful.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review and feedback.
We continually improve our facilities and will explore adding more wash facilities. There were a couple of other places that wash facilities could be found on site other than those mentioned here.
We do also now have phone charging facilities and will ensure this is mentioned in the welcome info.
Good for a brief stop over

Electric grass pitch (large, water hook-up)
Liked Pitches are massive, we have stayed twice now, once on the sunset field and the pitches are great.
Picnic benches on every pitch, loads of room too.
I figured out the showers pretty quick and there was always hot water available.
Toilets were always clean and plenty of loo roll.
It was very very hot, but there was a lovely breeze across the field.
Bury St Edmunds is very close, Thetford forest too and plenty of military aircraft overhead.
Highly recommend.
Disliked A lot of cars arrived on our last day quite early and woke me up, as there was a running event but thats a me thing not the campsite.

Liked Friendly staff, facilities were kept clean. Enough space around pitches. People camping here was friendly
Disliked More freezer space that work would be better
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review
With the hot weather we have had recently the fridges and freezers have struggled a bit but are needed more than ever, so that's something we will look into improving where possible.

Disliked Floor in wetroom needs a non slip mat, staff informed and took on feedback.

Could do with a ramp into wetroom
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: So glad you had a good stay with us.
We do have a ramp for the wet room and we also now have a non slip mat that can be requested.
We would love to have the cafe open longer but have to run with the times when it is viable to staff it.
For info to others. The cafe is open each Friday and Saturday evening through the season plus Saturday and Sunday mornings. Then when we get to school holidays there will be open hours on Thursdays, Mondays and Sunday evenings and morning. No hot food on a Tuesday or Wednesday
We'll be back
