Brock unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked: A peaceful and private pitch, impeccably prepared by Peter and Helen. Beautifully clean and raked, immaculate toilet and the additional use of other spaces on site should we want. The hosts couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. It was all fabulous!

Holly Hill unpowered grass campervan site
Liked: The campsite is amazing in all respects. The scenery is stunning, the owner is friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the pitches where you camp are extremely spacious. We were in the camper van pitch and loved sitting by the fire listening to the muntjacs and owls in the distance.

Hart unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Fantastic campsite. Very quiet with great views and private pitches. Very friendly owners. As it is wild camping the facilities are very basic, but that is what we were after. It is in several walking paths so you can easily walk to nearby villages/towns. I also recommend sitting by the fire pit and watching the wildlife in the evening, there are red deer locally. Recommended.

Liked: Lovely hosts. Very quiet and peaceful place - we were tucked away in a secluded area and so even though there were other campers, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Fab views as well. Good composting toilet.

Lookout unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked: Spent a wonderful relaxing weekend on the beautiful wild campsite at Waveney Wild Woods. The site is located on top of a hill with stunning views over the marshes and towards the coast and Suffolk beyond. There are 5 pitches on the site and we were lucky enough to stay on the lookout pitch on the top of the hill, with panoramic views. The owners were friendly and very helpful, but left us to our own devices for most of our stay. Facilities were basic but adequate for a wild camp. The site was so peaceful with an abundance of wildlife to see, and I was lucky enough to see 2 resident stags (known locally as the billtong boys) wandering gracefully across the surrounding fields, plus lots of birdlife that skirted the treetops at the level of our pitch. We will definitely be planning to return next year to this little slice of heaven
Disliked: Nothing comes to mind
