  • Adults-only family-run site in a quiet part of rural Suffolk
  • A 10-minute drive to Woodbridge; half an hour to Aldeburgh
  • Dog-friendly site with easy access from the A12 and heated bathrooms
Back in 2000, Michael Allen opened up Moat Barn Caravan Park to welcome guests to his lovely patch of Suffolk countryside. Location, facilities and a friendly welcome meant that it quickly became a popular place, with many customers returning time and again. Fast forward to the present day and Michael’s son James has taken the reins, aiming to continue the legacy by looking after the needs of customers old and new. The ownership may have (slightly) changed, but the setup remains the same – it’s a peaceful adults-only site with spacious pitches on closely mown grass and access to well-maintained facilities. The main facilities here are in a heated bathroom block, which has handy hairdryers and shaver plugs as well as toilets and showers; washing-up sinks and a chemical disposal point are also provided. It’s a relaxed and friendly site but you’ll be asked to observe a couple of rules: namely keeping the noise down after 9.30pm, keeping dogs on leads and making sure barbecues are raised off the ground to avoid damaging the grass. This is a sweet Suffolk location in a quiet rural area but with easy access to nearby attractions (partly as it’s only a couple of miles from the A12). Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive) is your nearest town, but the area is packed with things to see and do, and some great places to eat. Handily, James is always happy to help out with recommendations, perhaps including a couple of local secrets that visitors may not find on their own…

What customers say

This adults-only campground gets rave reviews for exceptional cleanliness, peaceful vibes, and spacious, well-kept sites. Guests love the friendly owner, James, and the top-notch facilities. It's a tranquil rural spot with great access to walks, though a car is handy. Minor notes include ongoing construction, spotty WiFi, and no hardstanding.

Liked Clean and well presented site- ideal as a base for cycle rides to and around the Rendelsham Forest. Peaceful level site to which I will return. The swimming pool being built will be a great addition!

Liked The cleanliness of the facilities and the closeness to many of the sites.

Disliked Lack of shade, but that should be solved in a few years time when the trees grow.

Longer unit powered grass campsite

Liked We loved how clean and well run this adult only site is. James was very welcoming too. We had an email to explain where our pitch was, so self checked in. It is lovely and quiet, hot showers, hairdryer and fridge and freezer available to use if you need one. Only dropped a star as the 'nearby amenities ' are not nearby at all. That said they are 10 mins drive away so not too bad. Had a fabulous Indian meal at The Bengal Tiger in Woodbridge. It was 10.50 for a taxi to Woodbridge if you didn't want to drive. We took the train to Ipswich and a taxi to Woodbridge and back one day. Visited Aldburgh and walked to Thorpeness from there, Sutton Hoo and Orford castle also worth a visit.

Highly recommend if you want someone to stay in the Woodbridge area

Liked De ontzettend nette campsite, heerlijk warm water ,zelf regelbaar . En daar was deze camping de enigste in.

Disliked Als ik dan toch iets moet noemen ,ik hou niet van een douchegordijn op een camping ,hoe schoon ze er ook uitzien. Maar dat is ook het enige wat ik op kan merken.

Local attractions

Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to get your bearings – it’s got lots of independent shops and cafés to try out, and the Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum to visit. It’s also on the banks of the River Deben, so you could take a waterside walk, join a boat trip or simply select a pub for a scenic pint. The town is on the edge of the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, so there are plenty of places for a walk nearby. Rendlesham Forest (15 minutes) is a particularly intriguing one, with a UFO trail giving an insight into some spottings here back in the 1980s. If it’s the ‘coast’ part of the name that grabs your interest, head to Orford Ness National Nature Reserve (25 minutes) for wildlife and war remnants, or visit the smart town of Aldeburgh (half an hour). For other days out, try National Trust - Sutton Hoo (15 minutes), Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) or shopping and cultural events at Snape Maltings (20 minutes).
