  • Small, secluded back-to-basics farm site with a nature pond
  • A 10-minute drive from Halesworth; 20 minutes from Southwold
  • Play area and shared fridge freezer; friendly pub five minutes’ walk
Sunnyside Campsite is a peaceful one-acre site with spacious grassy pitches surrounded by ash trees and hawthorn bushes. This small-scale meadow is also easily accessible by public transport – Brampton station is a 10-minute cycle or 30-minute walk from base. This fab farm site has a nature pond, kids' play area and a tumbledown old stable that houses the spick and span toilets and water point. Other handy facilities here include a washing-up point and use of a shared fridge freezer. Campfires and barbecues are allowed (as long as they're raised off the ground). Firepits are available to hire on site, and logs and charcoal can also be bought from the little honesty shop. Fish suppers are on the cards on Thursdays, when fresh local seafood is sold from a visiting van. Sunnyside Campsite is in a prime location for cyclists, who can set out on long or short-distance pedals along National Cycle Route 1 that passes at the end of the lane. Walkers and folk who like messing around in boats also have lots of options here – the Suffolk coastline can be reached in under 20 minutes' drive, while the Norfolk Broads are under a half hour away. The site is a few minutes' stroll from a friendly community pub and a village play area. Cafés, restaurants and a larger supermarket are all in Halesworth (10 minutes' drive).

What customers say

This small, friendly spot offers peace and nature, with big pitches and neat ablutions. Guests love the thoughtful extras, honesty shop, and kids' play areas. Nearby pubs and walks are a big plus. A few mentioned shower pressure was low at busy times, but most rave about the site and keep coming back.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great, small and family run campsite. Owners were lovely, friendly and even provided baked goods. Great samlls tore with fridge, freezer and kettle on hand for all to share. Clean toilets and shower facilities. Great walks and sunsets from the campsite.

Disliked There was a strong smell from what smelt like the septic tank when the wind blew in certain directions, the plot nearest the bins had the full impact of this and it could be smlet in teh tent.

Liked We really loved the simplicity and space available at the campsite, the toilet and shower area were lovely and clean and the owners we spoke to (albeit briefly) were lovely, welcoming and very friendly. Plenty of on site activities for the children to use and explore, and the store, whilst we didn’t use it, was well stocked with huge variety.

Liked Cosy smaller campsite, conducsive to meeting other campers if desired; beautiful countryside beyond the campsite itself; amenities refreshingly both rustic and elegantas well as clean; evident emphasis on ecological principle; a family, and welcoming feel; areas to explore on the campsite. A delight for younger children with swings and hammocks, in the trees..a ping pong table for all.

From the manager: Such a beautiful review! It reads like a poem! Thank you!

You have highlighted some of the themes that mean the most to us too. (I hope it’s ok if I use it on instagram!)

It was lovely to meet you.
Please come again soon!

Local attractions

The sandy beach at Southwold (20 minutes) is dominated by the white bulk of the 19th-century Southwold Lighthouse and lined by colourful wooden huts. Stroll along the long pier, stopping for ice cream or fish and chips, then head into town and the Southwold Museum for a primer on local history. With their reed-lined ponds and shallow lagoons, the marshes of RSPB Minsmere (30 minutes) are home to avocets, curlews and marsh harriers – plus the occasional (but elusive) otter. Just up the coast from there, National Trust - Dunwich Heath and Beach becomes a colourful riot of purple heather in the summer. The tall spire of the cathedral in Norwich (45 minutes) is visible from far and wide. Explore the interior of this splendid 11th-century church, strolling through the cloisters and the choir, where (if you’re lucky) you might meet Budge, the cathedral cat. The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell explores the history of the area.
