What customers say
This peaceful, friendly campsite offers spacious, private, treed sites. Facilities are clean & adequate, if basic. The owner is praised for helpfulness. Great for exploring the coast. Some road noise & spotty Wi-Fi. Good value.

Can't wait to come back
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Site is lovely. We had secluded pitch which Jaik recommend as our dog is a bit nervous. Excellent size pitch - we have a large yurt and there was room for the car on the pitch and still plenty of space for BBQ and chairs etc. All pitches come with quirky little extras like storage or kitchen type surfaces - all hand built. Off floor fire pits are allowed which was one of main criteria and Jaik was able to supply us a small one and the wood too. Clean and cold drinking water on the pitch and plenty of bins available. Showers were got and toilets cleaned regularly.
We have been very spoiled for our first camping trip and we can't wait to come back again. Jaik was available for everything we needed and we just dropped him a message with any questions.
Absolutely 5* site.

Lovely peaceful vibe. Clean, cared-for facilities, great location.
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Loved our time at Hill Farm, much more facilities than you'd expect of a 'certificated location'. Jaik is a brilliant host, going above and beyond to make the stay a lovely experience. And he's really nurturing the woodland and surrounding space, loads of wildlife seem to thrive at Hill Farm. Also a great base for exploring - Aldeburgh and Southwold are easy to reach... and nearby Dunwich is beautiful with its shingle beach, fascinating history, rare wildlife habitat, fab pub and free parking.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, IMHO.

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Lovely quiet site with excellent facilities and a helpful manager. We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful stay. Jaik was very efficient and helpful, going above and beyond to enhance our stay. Toilet and shower facilities were well signposted and were clean, with clear instructions for use. We had a great time.

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Really nice site with well spaced pitches among trees. Site Manager Jaik was on hand soon after we arrived and was absolutely brilliant. We forgot our pump and he kindly tried to help borrow one from other campers. He also thoughtfully moved a family that were booked into the pitch opposite, before setting up, to a more appropriate area. Great for everyone involved. Not much within walking distance but lots on your doorstep to drive to. Enjoyed our stay there, good value for money and they don’t add a load of extra charges. My pet hate!
Disliked Think the only criticism I have is the furniture that’s left around for people to use, whilst very considerate it did spoil the view amongst the trees and made the place look unsightly and run down, which was a shame. Easily fixable. I would suggest grouping it together somewhere and sign posted people to it.

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Jaik was a very helpful site owner and I don’t think I’ve ever seen such dedication from someone , cleaning the toilet area at 10pm last night to make sure it was clean for everyone.
Very accommodating to our needs ( we had a young dog and we was moved to a more suitable pitch to meet the dogs needs) , I highly recommend this campsite
Disliked The only thing was the WiFi was patchy at times and in only putting this as I have to

Great small site. We’ll be back
Powered cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Small size, ample facilities, helpful host.
The size is easily accessible from the A12 but doesn’t suffer from too much road noise. Facilities all functioned, were clean and just a little quirky. Wonderful.
Disliked Not a whole heap. Decent site. Bring some 20p pieces if you want to shower.

Perfect place for peace and quiet
Powered cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Very peaceful site. All amenities are close to pitch. The owner was very helpful and you can see he works really hard to keep things running smoothly. Pitch sizes are of a decent size and private enough. I noticed a few comments about road noise.... it really isn't that bad! There is not much around within walking distance but that suited us. We wanted a few quiet days away and that's exactly what we had. We will be returning again. Plus great value for money!
Disliked Nothing!
