  • Peaceful rural site on a smallholding three miles from Halesworth
  • 25 minutes' drive from the seaside town of Southwold
  • Barbecue area, picnic tables and occasional live music on site
Pick a pitch at Paradise Barn Camping and Caravanning and you’ll most likely have some rather beastly neighbours… rabbits, deer and pheasants are among the wild visitors often spotted here, and you may well also hear a bit of chat from the resident barn owl. They’re attracted to this 14-acre Suffolk smallholding by the quiet country setting, the well-kept gardens and lack of noisome passing traffic. Those aspects tend to be pretty appealing to humanfolk too, as are the spacious pitches and the dark skies, which make an excellent backdrop to a fine evening round the campfire. Going with that peaceful territory is easy access to a network of quiet rural roads for leisurely walks or bike rides (you can make the 10-mile journey to Flixton or Bungay without clapping eyes on a main road) and a clutch of country pubs, including a couple in Halesworth, three miles away. Fishing folks may fancy trying their luck at the trout lake next door or taking a trip on the site’s sea fishing boat from Lowestoft, 20 miles away. Evenings on site tend to be fairly chilled affairs, as guests gather round the barbecues and picnic tables for their alfresco feasts, although occasionally there’s live music and other entertainment to get the party going.

What customers say

A peaceful, adults-only spot with private, level pitches. Owners Alan & Janet are praised. Facilities are mostly good, with minor mentions of toilet paper or shower upkeep. Ideal for quiet country walks and rural retreats. BBQs & live music are a hit!

Liked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at Paradise Barn, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience!

From the moment we arrived, the hosts were absolutely amazing. We felt so welcomed and made to feel at home throughout our stay. It’s clear how much care and attention goes into making the site such a lovely place for guests.

The campsite itself was beautifully maintained, lovely and clean, and everything was kept to a really high standard. It was peaceful and relaxing, while still having a lovely atmosphere.

The Sunday music and barbecue were a particular highlight and added such a wonderful extra touch to our holiday. It created a brilliant atmosphere and was such a lovely way to spend an evening on the campsite.

If I could suggest one small addition, it would be a communal freezer or somewhere to refreeze ice packs, which would be really useful for campers, particularly during warmer weather.

Other than that, we genuinely couldn’t fault the place. The fantastic hosts, beautiful campsite and welcoming atmosphere made our stay really special.

Thank you to everyone at Paradise Barn for making our holiday so enjoyable. We had such a lovely time that we’ll definitely be returning in May next year! 🏕️❤️

Would highly recommend Paradise Barn to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxing and well-kept campsite. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Liked Quiet location, relaxed atmosphere, friendly owners.
2 toilets and 2 showers but that was OK as it is a small site.
Bank holiday weekend concert with free BBQ was very much enjoyed.

Disliked Felt a little bit cramped in the corner area.
One of the showers is always cold, you just have to guess which one.

Local attractions

You don’t need to stray too far from Paradise Barn to find things to fill your days – as well as the trout lake next door there’s coarse fishing a mile away, and with a drive of 10 minutes or so you can be visiting the Halesworth Airfield Memorial Museum, playing a round at the local golf course or meeting the residents of Oasis Camel Park. Those fond of a tipple or two may like to take a half-hour wander over to Valley Farm Vineyards, where you can take a tour and sample some of their latest vintages. Those who prefer a pint should make a beeline for the Adnams brewery in Southwold, where you’ll see the brewing process in action before honing your beer drinking skills with a tutored tasting. Southwold’s also got a fab beach and an excellent pier with some classic seaside fun to be had at the Wacky Walk of Mirrors and the Under the Pier Show. For more watery days out, head to Beccles, half an hour away by car, to hire a boat for a day of pottering around the Norfolk Broads.
