  • Farm site with coastal views near Southwold, Suffolk
  • A 15-minute drive to Walberswick and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve
  • Padel court and ping pong; 20 minutes’ walk from the beach
A stay at the Suffolk seaside? And a short drive from Southwold? What’s not to love? Especially at Pigs in Blankets, an off-grid site scattered across a six-acre meadow on a working livestock farm. It’s only a 20-minute walk into the lively seaside town of Southwold for pubs and supermarkets (and the cool shops on its high streets), and, within reception hours, you can buy locally sourced meat, milk, eggs and ice cream from the fridge and freezer on site. The Dutch Barn is the focal point of the site, hosting all sorts of amenities, from washing-up sinks and shower and toilet facilities to ping pong and a coffee machine. From Wednesday to Sunday, take the kids to the petting barn for some time with the animals. Pigs Padel, the on-site padel court, is open every day from early morning to late evening. If it's open (hours vary throughout the season), you could settle in for a drink afterwards at the on-site bar, The Grain Shed. While on site, you’ll have constant views of the farm animals, the neighbouring wildfowl marshland and the lovely Suffolk coastline. A golf course is within walking distance. Lowestoft is a 25-minute drive to the north, too, and if you carry on up the coast, it's another 15 minutes on top to Great Yarmouth.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Easy check in, we arrived late but I let them know and they sent me instructions on what to do
Pitch sizes excellent. We camped on Non electric pitch we got our camper & two cars on pitch
Facilities excellent only 3 showers in each & 3 loos but we didn’t find it too long to wait.
Pizza van there on weekends was tasty.
Bar onsite a great addition
Table tennis in barn & a fridge with essentials to buy in reception opening hours
Also a fridge for ice packs etc
15 minutes walk to pier end of southwold via a footpath on campsite
Dogs are welcome
We had an amazing weekend here and will return. Hoping to return with granddaughter and check out the little farm onsite.
WiFi onsite but didn’t reach to our pitch

Disliked Rather pricey compared to other campsites
A water tap nearer the non electric pitches would have been better

Meadow primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This is our third visit and we had previously enjoyed the peaceful location with no cars allowed on the camping field.

Disliked The noise from the new padel court went on until after 10pm.
Other campers complained that there were not enough toilets when large, group bookings had been allowed.
The accessible loo and washbasin had no soap, unlike the others.
Campers had separated their recycling but when collected, it all went into the same truck.

Meadow primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Amazing location and extremely well kept site offering all the clamping amenities you could want. It was a first camping trip with our two young daughters and all the little home comforts (toilets/showers/washing up stations) made it that much easier to introduce them to camping.
