  • Family camping 50 yards from gorgeous Walberswick Beach in Suffolk
  • Rural coastal area 20 minutes’ drive from Southwold
  • Two good pubs and a well-known deli in pretty Walberswick village
Launched in 2026, Walberswick Camping is found in one of Suffolk’s prettiest villages, just 50 yards from one of the UK’s best beaches. Neatly tucked between the River Blythe, sand dunes and the sea, the site offers a splendid mix of beach life and countryside charm… It’s just two hours’ drive from London, 20 minutes from Southwold, and 15 minutes from Aldeburgh. You can also access the pitches across the Blythe via the traditional Southwold ferry. Set nicely away from the coastal crowds for family holidays, the site has all that you need close by. It’s less than five minutes’ walk from a couple of pubs – one Michelin-starred and serving some of the best food in Suffolk – a deli selling freshly baked bread, pastries and fair-trade coffee, and a playground to keep younger kids happy. Behind the village is Dunwich Forest, one of the largest wooded areas in the UK, handy for long walks and spotting deer under the peaceful tree canopy. Kids can try crab fishing in the creeks, and you can all go exploring your coastal surroundings or simply relax and admire the sea views from your pitch. As night falls, swap campfire stories – local folklore dictates that a mythical Black Dog haunts these parts… a tale that’s been whispered for generations.

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Lovely spacious pitches, clean facilities, friendly and super helpful staff. We ran our engine battery down by mistake and they couldn’t do enough for us. Helped us jump start it and we’re super kind. Highly recommend this site. Will be back with more friends and family next month!

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Stayed there for 2 nights and it was lovely. My first camping experience was a success. Really beautiful scenery and breathtaking views of the water. the staff are amazing and helpful. I originally booked the next month and I’m glad that they allowed me to change to this month. Got my much needed rest and relaxation. Will come back again!

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Excellent campsite, with everything you could need. Plenty of space for tents so not on top of other people, grass was nice and flat all over. We had a picnic table next to our tent too which was great for sitting eating breakfast at. Toilets and showers were immaculate, lovely to use after a long day walking. The path to walk in is also very good and the view of the water is the best. This is definitely one we will be going back to when we are in this area.

Disliked Nothing

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked My first time camping in the UK, and I really liked this campsite. The location is unbeatable, one of the most beautiful spots I’ve camped in. The owners are doing a good job. They opened a few days before I arrived, and some things were missing (the shower wasn’t yet working when I came), but they provided alternatives, so it was good enough. I am already planning to come back next year.

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite

Liked Location because of sea view and proximity to village amenities. very welcoming host

Disliked Personal hygiene facilities need Investment very basic . We needed input from contractors as to how best to operate showers . We put this down to teething problems on first week of opening.

Local attractions

First stop for nature-lovers might be the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve (five minutes’ drive), where heathland, marshes, dunes and woodland meet the coast. The area is criss-crossed with walking trails – look out for muntjac and Chinese water deer as you stroll. You can also be on Walberswick beach in 15 minutes’ amble, or wander for miles along the Blythe or Dunwich rivers. Wherever you stroll, try to end up at Old Hall Southwold Café (15 minutes) for a warming hot chocolate. Cross the River Blythe to Southwold (20 minutes) to tour the artisan brewery, hike along the beach to the landmark Water Clock or eat fish and chips on the pier. Further south along the coast is Aldeburgh (half an hour), where you can often catch concerts at Snape Maltings. Take the kids to float mini-yachts on Southwold Boating Lake (20 minutes), or test their ingenuity at Southwold Maize Maze (15 minutes and seasonal). Most youngsters will love the idea of camel rides at the Camel Park Oasis (half an hour, also seasonal), and you can easily prevent boredom setting in on any rainy days by working through puzzles at the Suffolk Escape Room (25 minutes).
