  • Peaceful wild-style camping at a Suffolk heathland site
  • A 10-minute drive to Woodbridge, Rendlesham Forest and the east coast
  • Dog-friendly pitches with space for up to five guests; groups welcome
Heading out into the woods is a thoroughly peaceful and relaxed experience at Holistic Woods, a next-to-nature site in the heathlands of Sutton, part of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll only be 10 minutes’ drive from Woodbridge here, but this is a properly rural escape where you can set up on grass pitches or in a secluded corner of the woods. Each pitch takes up to five people, so you can bring a small gang with you (or book several and have a larger gang) – and dogs are very welcome to come along and join in the fun too. Nature has been left pretty much untouched here, so pitches have a wild-camping vibe to them – but with the addition of portable toilets for added convenience. Please note that campfires can’t be permitted on site though, because there’s dense woodland all around. A small supermarket is about a mile away for any supplies you may need, and there are plenty of shops, pubs and places to eat around Woodbridge. This is a fabulous spot for hikers and bike riders, who can set out to explore the heath just around the site, head off to the banks of the nearby River Deben or stroll by the seaside (the east coast is only about 10 minutes’ drive away). It’s also possible to walk to the historic site of Sutton Hoo in half an hour or so.

What customers say

Highly recommended for peace, tranquility & wild camping. Praised for woodland setting, space & helpful staff. Basic facilities but beautiful nature & secluded pitches are huge positives. Manager addressed portaloos & noise.

Primitive forest floor campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)

Liked Everything, the peace and tranquility of the woods and wildlife, a good clean site only spent one night but will definitely go back. Stella was very welcoming and informative of the site and nearby walks and came round a couple of times to see if everything was ok and if we wanted any logs. Wild it is but wild we liked.

Disliked Nothing.

Primitive forest floor campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)

Liked Great place for a real feel of wild camping
This was our first outing as a tester for our newly acquired camper van.
Would absolutely recommend for quiet,relaxing night or weekend!!
Fire pit wood available and you can forage for more if you need it. No sense of urgency to leave and plenty of room be it in the wooded area or the grass pitch area.
Easy to get to. No activities required!! Portaloo’s very clean!!
Thank you Tobias👍🏼

Disliked Having to leave🤣

Primitive forest floor campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)

Liked Perfect set up for any style of camping! Grass Pitch, edge of woodland or deep in the forest. We was in the trees with our tent, you can drive and park on pitch, clean portaloos and really friendly helpful owner with suplies in the office cabin!

Primitive forest floor travel trailer campsite (wild)

Liked What a gem! The site is absolutely beautiful. The pitches are really big and you really have a lot of space to choose from. You really are sleeping in the forest! Excellent manager, guided us very kindly. Lots to explore around the area, including Suton Hoo.

Disliked Toilets could improve but the quality of where you are makes this site so much worth it!

Local attractions

Some intriguing things lurk in the natural areas around here… including lots of wildlife like owls, hares and Chinese water deer at Orford Ness National Nature Reserve (20 minutes’ drive) and the rather more unexpected UFO landing site hidden away in Rendlesham Forest (10 minutes). You can also seek out an ancient royal burial site stuffed with treasures at Sutton Hoo (half an hour’s walk). What else might you expect to find in these rural surrounds? Perhaps a collection of friendly animals at Easton Farm Park (20 minutes’ drive), Tudor towers at Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) or wine tours at Shawsgate Vineyard (25 minutes)? Other days out nearby might take you to Woodbridge (10 minutes) for a boat trip and a walk around the mill museum, to see the planes of Parham Airfield Museum (20 minutes) or for a dip in the sea from the beach at Aldeburgh (25 minutes).
