What customers say
Polstead Country Park is a top adult-only spot. Guests rave about the quiet vibe, spot-on facilities (hello, underfloor heating!), and super-clean loos. Pitches are private and roomy, staff are a gem, and the rural setting's ace for walks. A touch of road noise is a minor blip on an otherwise brilliant stay.

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Nice quiet site with large pitches.
Disliked Some road noise but not overly intrusive.
Lighting at night could be, in my opinion, improved.
Only three showers for each sex seems a little low although, to be fair we never had to wait for one.
