  • Peaceful adults-only site with a no-music/TV/radio rule; dogs welcome
  • A 15-minute drive from Framlingham and 20 minutes from Aldeburgh
  • Firepits, kitchen and undercover seating available for guests
No one could blame you for wanting a break from the kids, whether they’re your own or just the neighbourhood ones getting underfoot… If that calming escape is calling then make your way to Brick Kiln Campsite, an adults-only site less than five minutes’ drive from the small Suffolk village of Campsea Ashe. In a rural spot, there’s little around this quiet spot but fields. The site’s not set up for electric – though plugs for charging phones can be accessed if going without is a problem – so the outside world may struggle to intrude, and a no-music rule (other than birdsong, of course) should ensure that reading hours and slumbers go undisturbed. When it's time to eat, there's a well-stocked village shop within a 10 minute walk of the site, across the fields. When cooking is to be avoided altogether, head to the village pub, which serves food. Otherwise, busy yourself by buying a disposable barbecue from the site or using the shared kitchen at the converted stable (this place also has a small honesty shop). Also on site are firepits and a reading room with a book exchange and games to keep you entertained. For forays off site, it’s less than 10 minutes' drive to Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape – where wildlife spotting, leisurely wanders and seaside strolls are all to be had – and five minutes to the nearest golf course for those who find peace on the tees.

What customers say

Peaceful adult-only site with top-notch facilities, including posh loos and hot showers. Thoughtful extras like an honesty shop and communal kitchen. Great for doggos and exploring Suffolk. Access lane is a bit tight.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site (solo, no cars)

Liked Very homely and well equipped. Loved all the quirky decor. Best campsite showers I’ve experienced in a long while. As a cycle tourer I loved the solo camper pitches too.

Disliked Having to leave!

Local attractions

Explores of this area are a cinch for pedallers: a trip to nearby Rendlesham (a 10-minute drive) should sort wheels, and the rental place even delivers to site. Once a ride is secured, head along to Rendlesham Forest, a 15-minute drive or 25-minute cycle away, to zip along bike paths through the 1,500-hectare woodland. There’s plenty of history hereabouts to dive into too. The site’s 15 minutes from Framlingham Castle and the Anglo-Saxon king’s ship burial ground at Sutton Hoo, 35 minutes from the stunning famed Victorian pier in Southwold, and 45 minutes from Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum. Even closer at hand, it’s less than five minutes to Marlesford Mills Antiques Centre, if bargain hunting's your bag. On warmer days, make tracks for the seaside. The nearest shingle beach is at Aldeburgh, and it’s 35 minutes to the sandy, pebbled stretch at Southwold (stick around here for brewery and distillery tours, and an excellent pier). For a proper sandy beach though, Lowestoft is a must – it’s 50 minutes from base by car, or an hour on the train from the station five minutes’ drive from the site. Those seeking days among museums, shops, galleries and restaurants should take those tracks in the direction of Ipswich instead, half an hour’s train journey or car ride away.
