On a small working farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A 10-minute walk to the famed Sutton Hoo National Trust site
About a 10-minute drive to Woodbridge and Rendlesham Forest

A melodic name isn’t all Sutton Hoo has going for it… this site on a small working farm among free-range chickens is also less than a 10-minute walk from Sutton Hoo. You'll have heard of that of course: the splendid Anglo-Saxon ship burial where a warrior king lay for 1,400 years, and hailed since its discovery in the 1930s as one of the finest archaeological finds anywhere in Britain. Trips down memory lane are all around the local area too, as the park's in the age-old Suffolk Coast and Heath Area of Natural Beauty, and a 10-minute drive from the Woodbridge Tide Mill on the River Deben, one of the last in the world still churning up flour using time-honoured techniques. Visit to learn about the process through interactive activities then ply the streets and traditional stores of the pretty riverside market town of Woodbridge – it’s got a butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer (as well as more modern amenities like a supermarket, coffee shops and clothes boutiques). Get your supplies from these local producers then tote it back to the park and cook it up on the campfire while the kids and dogs run around on the big grass field opposite. And if you're after more historical expeditions once fully fed? Orford (20 minutes’ drive) and Framlingham (25 minutes) both have castles to check out, while the coastal and woodland walks near the site are sure to have you harking back to simpler times. One tree-lined place for a wander close by is Rendlesham Forest a 10-minute drive away, which is well worth a visit for its play areas, picnic spots and bike park, as well as its orienteering trails and horse riding paths.

What customers say

A neat, tranquil site with big, flat spots, often private with hedges. Facilities are praised as clean & modern, with handy on-pitch water & electricity. Great spot, short walk to Sutton Hoo & Woodbridge. Owners are friendly, it's family-friendly with a playground, and you can hire fire pits. A bit of road noise, but most guests loved it and want to come back.

WiFi happily ran Netflix on a rainy evening.

Fully-serviced grass and sand pitch

Liked The size of the pitch and the self contained feel to the pitch with its own water and electricity.

Disliked No one about, very basic ‘ campsite’ feel. Very small. Shower block unwelcoming.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi,
I am sorry that our campsite wasn't to your liking, most people do like the fact that it is small. I did email you to say we were away and that my daughter was in charge if you needed anything, but perhaps you missed that email. I am glad you liked the large pitches with full facilities and not sure why you found the shower block unwelcoming as you haven't stated a reason. If you do decide to visit Sutton Hoo again, I hope we get to meet so I can make you feel more welcoming. Best Wishes, Helen

Fully-serviced grass and sand pitch

Liked Lovely quiet level site with a nice dog walk- liked the fully serviced pitch and the short grass. Nice to have the pitches with a hedge between as it gives a little more privacy.

Disliked Lots of flies flying in to the caravan
-maybe the proximity to the farm field adjacent to the site.

Fully-serviced grass and sand pitch

Liked This was a lovely setting . The pitch we had was a good size, level and there were lots of woodland trees behind us giving a very countryside feel. The showers were hot and had a good pressure. There was a small hut near the entrance to the site with a freezer, socket for charging mobile phones and an electric kettle - ideal if you aren't on electric hook up. There was also some information about the local area. We were roadside and there was a bit of traffic noise but nothing that disturbed our sleep.
The owners were very helpful and replied to my emails very quickly.

Fully-serviced grass and sand pitch

Liked Used to pitch tent for first time last minute booking. Arrived and sign on board showed allocated pitch. Easy to get to site, toilets were clean and pitches good size.

Disliked Road side pitches picked up noise particularly in morning from a relatively busy road. Not a huge issue though.

Local attractions

Once you’ve had your wander in the woods, the water awaits: the River Deben is just the spot for fishing and sailing less than 10 minutes’ drive away. You can also hire rowing, sailing and canoeing boats and explore the islands and waterways of Thorpeness (30 minutes) and its mere or switch to the artsy coastal town of Aldeburgh (25 minutes’ drive) for strolls on the North Sea sands, catching flicks at the century-old cinema and jaunts up the old Martello Tower. Another scenic seaside village is Southwold further on at 45 minutes from the park with its Victorian pier and classic white lighthouse. And if you're into twitching? The coastal birding spots of Minsmere and Dunwich are both 40 minutes’ drive.
