  • Quiet and family-run campsite 10 minutes’ drive from the Suffolk coast
  • Southwold, Oulton Broad watersports and Beccles all 15 minutes’ drive
  • Accessible facilities; Wrentham café, pub and shop five minutes’ drive
Seeking a peaceful Suffolk sojourn? At Henstead Fields Caravan and Campsite, you’re in the right spot for family fun (dogs included), local walks, scenic cycle rides or chilling on a North Sea beach – the closest is Kessingland, barely 10 minutes’ drive away, while the pretty seaside town of Southwold is 15 minutes by car. This family-run site is on the outskirts of Henstead village in North Suffolk; you can pitch up or park up on the camping field with plenty of space around you for privacy. Amenities include a disabled toilet and shower alongside separate male and female facilities, plus a washing-up area where pitch allocations are displayed. The field has more than enough green space for games with family and friends, but just keep an eye open for uneven ground while you’re running around. It’s also very rural, so you have the resident owls, muntjacs and pheasants for company – and on clear nights, the stars put on a spectacular display. ​As for catering, barbecues are allowed on site; there’s a convenience store and deli five minutes’ drive away in Wrentham if you need to buy in supplies. When you can’t face cooking, there’s also a café and pub in the village, and takeaways can be delivered to your pitch.

Peaceful, well-kept site, spacious level spots, modern facilities. Friendly owners. Dog-free zone, great local access. Peak times may mean limited restrooms; more hooks and better signs suggested.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great spot with plenty of space per pitch and nice distances between pitches. We stayed in a campervan in the tent area as we didn’t need EHU, which was perfectly level. Good enclosed dog run area and toilets and showers clean.

Disliked Not a dislike as such but facilities are limited. Facilities were fine for us out of season and site underused but with only 2 women’s toilets/showers and 1 disabled toilet/shower room for men/women usage it might be a little challenging during high season.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely well thought out and maintained site. Facilities are excellent and exceptionally clean. Pitch sizes are large and spaced out (and not too many!)
Friendly owner who took the time to chat and check that everyone was ok.
Would definitely return … for longer next time!

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Everything! Spacious pitches , clean facilities , enclosed dog run , peace and quiet. Friendly and considerate owners .

Disliked Nothing really - probably will require more showers /toilets in the future when site busier.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review :). We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. During the school summer holidays this year when we were very busy the toilets and shower block were sufficient. A few people did say they would like more but mainly most have said there wasn't a problem and were happy with no wait time or short waits/queueing for the showers. We did hire an additional toilet for the summer so we had one more than at other times of the year. Again thank you :), we hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Sarah

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Well spaced pitches, clean facilities and friendly owner. Very peaceful site, just turn up at your pitch. They tell you your pitch number before you get there. Owner, Callum nice guy, comes to see you how you are getting on at some point during your arrival day. Site well positioned for day outs to Southwold, dunwich or a bit further for Aldeburgh
Thorpeness, Walberswick. Recommend the anchor inn at walberswick for nice food.

Karen M.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Pre arrival information was sent with our pitch location and details as well as information about the surrounding area/pubs and cafes to eat at, wildlife walks etc.
The site was easy to find (even in the dark) and allocated pitches were well marked out.
We was greeted on our arrival.
The pitch was large and mapped out to have its own individual space allocated, there was no tents on top of each other.
The shower facilities were clean and the water was hot hot which was lovely.
There was the lovely addition of a large dog pen so even the fur babies could run around safely. This was a particularly great facility for us as our pup is only 18 weeks old and she does not have any recall yet so it was lovely to be able to watch her running around with out a care in the world, off lead for the first time, our only trouble was she loved it so much I had to chase her down to get her out 😂
Thank you for providing a wonderful stay😊

Disliked Nothing it was our favourite site to date and we will definitely return

Phil M.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked We booked a fully serviced pitch and was perfect for our 11 night stay. The pitches are the biggest I’ve seen with loads of space for car, caravan and awning.
Toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and very well maintained.
Very peaceful location and a great place for discovering north Suffolk.
Callum was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.

Disliked Nothing to dislike here.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Phil, Thank you for your review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at our site. We're very lucky to be able to offer a site that is quiet but near(ish) to some lovely towns/beaches/historical sites to visit. We hope you enjoy the rest of the warm weather before autumn really kicks in. Best wishes, Sarah and Callum

Local attractions

There’s bags going on for the whole family in lively Southwold (15 minutes’ drive); you can take high-speed boat rides around the North Sea coastline, discover the amusements along the famed pier, or have a potter around the old harbour. Adnams Brewery is open for guided tours and tastings of its wares, and also offers the chance to explore the landmark lighthouse that dominates the town. If you’re into high-octane action, try skydiving at Ellough (10 minutes) but if that sounds a bit scary, book hacks at the local riding school (five minutes) or make for Oulton Broad (15 minutes) for kayaking and sailing. You can also go paddleboarding along the River Waveney from Beccles (15 minutes). Get (quite) up close and personal with Big Five animals like lions and rhinos at Africa Alive (10 minutes), or sneak a bit of history into your kids with visits to Framlingham Castle (40 minutes) and the eccentric Tudor-era Orford Tower (45 minutes). If your offspring are still game on for more culture, Somerleyton Hall (half an hour) has colourful landscaped gardens and impressive Victorian architecture.
