  • Suffolk site with well-drained grass pitches on the edge of Snape
  • A 10-minute drive from Aldeburgh on the Suffolk Heritage Coast
  • Half an hour’s walk from Snape Maltings and three dog-friendly pubs
What a patch of land this is. Croft Farm Camping, on the edge of the village of Snape, is home to green fields with well-draining sandy Suffolk soil that holds up quite nicely even after wet weather. There are walks right from the gate – the Sandlings Walk, plus miles of trails across the coast, heathlands and countryside – and three dog-friendly village pubs within half an hour’s walk, all with seasonal menus suitable for a big appetite. What else might you want to know about this place? Well, the simple facilities include toilets, showers and chemical disposal, and barbecues are permitted. Dogs are welcome, and they should very much appreciate those local walks. The sea is only five miles away, too: Aldeburgh is the closest spot, just a 10-minute drive from the site, and forms part of the Suffolk Heritage Coast, which stretches for about 50 miles (with plenty of splendid shingle beaches and seaside towns to visit). Croft Farm Camping is about half an hour’s walk away from scenic Snape Maltings, where there’s a concert hall and just-lovely riverside walks. Those strolls can always end at one of the cafés along the river Alde; allowing extra time is always a good idea too, as there are independent shops and galleries to browse around. If you’re keen to get in some time on your bike, good news: there’s a cycling route along the Suffolk coast and waymarked mountain-biking trails (with pretty epic features like manmade bomb craters and sandpits) in Tunstall Forest, 15 minutes’ drive away, and Rendlesham Forest, 20 minutes away.

A new, tidy campsite with helpful hosts and great facilities. Reviews highlight clean loos, spacious pitches & a peaceful vibe. Good for exploring and dog owners, though more loos might be handy in peak season.

Powered grass site (large)

Liked Clean, well kept site with good shower block, toilets and cleaning area. Plus freezer for freezer blocks. Generous pitches, with plenty of room around the site to never feel congested like some places. Plenty around nearby for a stroll or short drive. Warm welcome from owners and great welcome pack with lots of local information including what is on nearby when we arrived. Will be returning.

Liked A great welcome from Richard, Tina and Hendrix. A peaceful setting, close enough to Snape Maltings to walk to.
Great sized pitch. Hot, modern showers. Extremely clean loos. Well maintained.
This site is in its infancy but, once completed, it will everything a camper will need.

Disliked Not enough showers and toilets when site is busy, no hot water in wash-up area but watch this space, they are on their way.

Liked Croft Farm is very peaceful and has spacious pitches where you never feel like you are sharing your holiday with the neighbours. Walks from the site. Big dog area where you can let them run free as well. The site is very well positioned for local attractions so easy to get about. Toilets and showers were clean. Well run and welcoming.
