  • 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.

What customers say

Great spot near Walberswick and beach, with super staff (Raoul!). Facilities are basic (portaloos, wonky showers) and pitches can be sloping. Some say peaceful, others pricey for what's on offer. Loads of potential, hope they upgrade!

Liked Lovely place for a coastal break. We particularly enjoyed the sea views and being able to get out for walks nearby. Would definitely recommend for a few nights away. The Anchor is a great spot for drinks too.

Liked Lovely location right by the beach.

Disliked Overpriced for what you get.
Poor facilities - porta loos and a cabin for showering. Hot water was sporadic.
Unsightly fencing around the perimeter - not sure of the purpose as there are hedges.
Large bins out in the open very close to pitches.
Check-in time is restrictive up to 6pm. We got caught in traffic and arrived at 6.30. Despite updating via email received no response and were made to feel we’d inconvenienced them.

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).
