Sunnyside Campsite

Kedvelték Really pretty little campsite with good size pitches and good amount of space between pitches. There is a little play area for kids and mine really enjoyed the swings. Inside the old stables you'll find one shower and toilet, a separate toilet and a little honesty shop with a few basic things. The toilets and shower is very basic and pretty and clean. It's a very calm peaceful campsite, great for getting away and relaxing.

Nem kedvelték I would give it 9 stars, however the play area is run down and need repairing. The electric shower is burning hot or cold and need replacing. But there is note from Sally in the shower warning people about it and that they are aware it needs replacing. My only other complaint is the noisy alarm from the railway crossing gates that spoils the tranquility of the site. But nothing can be done about that.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thanks very much for staying for one night on the electric hookup pitch. Thanks for your critique.

Re your comments about the play area, the big trampoline has now gone… It’s had a lot of use of the years! The little play house will be removed at the end of this season. We are not likely to replace it. The tree swings are all relatively new!

We are awaiting for a reliable plumber to fit a replacement shower unit. Hopefully end of the week! 🤞

The railway crossing is a good thing as it provides a train service to & from Ipswich to Lowestoft. Lots of guests arrive by train and walk or bike here from Brampton station (1.5mi) away). The last train comes through at 10.30pm and we hardly notice the 2min alarms during the day.

This is a small, back to basics campsite for robust campers. We recommend guests to use this as a base and go out and about to explore & enjoy the local area. There’s several fantastic market towns, wildlife reserves and beaches nearby to visit during the day.

This is real, rural, farming area. Guests who are particularly sensitive to noises should bring earplugs maybe?

Regards,
Sally

Kedvelték Thanks for the lovely personal welcome. Nice community pub nearby, serving good food. Easy to explore the nearby countryside and coast from here. This was our third visit to the site and we will be back!

Kezelői megjegyzés: It was lovely to meet you! Thank you for cycling and staying at Sunnyside Campsite! We are so glad you enjoyed it here.

Thanks also for supporting the community pub. The Racehorse is run by volunteers and has won awards for best rural pub of the year! It’s a really great asset to have near by.

With best wishes and hope to see you again,
Sally & Richard 🍻🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🌞🏕️

Kedvelték Lovely friendly welcome from Sally, the owner. Lovely vibe to the whole place, with cool touches such as the vintage mirrors in the shower. It shows that the owner cares about the environment by the toiletries etc.
Fabulous little honesty shop with essentials such as rice ( and chocolate bars).
Quiet, clean, sheltered, large level pitches, friendly..... what else do you need for a camp site?

Nem kedvelték Nothing at all.

Please do come to stay again soon!

Kedvelték We love this site for its rural back to nature setting, its small and our grandchildren love the swing over the pond, play area. The sunsets are amazing. There is a lovely little store with an honesty book so you can log what you buy and pay without having anyone to man the store.
There are fire pits for hire, these just add to the lovely atmosphere during an evening cooking marsh mellows on sticks.

Nem kedvelték We had to come home!

We think the meadow is a very special place too, and it is wonderful to hear how much people are enjoying their stays.

It was really good to see you and your family again. Please come again soon!

All best wishes,
Sally & Richard 🏕️🌞

Kedvelték This is our 3rd stay with our daughter, son in law and grandson. This site is just perfect for families with children or as couples if you just want to relax and have a base for all of the sites around you. Again all those that we met (as everyone is so friendly) were very happy to be at Sunnyside and even kept extending their stay night after night. The site is perfect, the hosts are perfect and we’ll be booking once again, thank you Sally and Richard xx

Thank you for coming back to Sunnyside Campsite again. Sooo lovely to see you and your family!

Kedvelték We liked everything about this campsite! We liked its small size - only 9 or 10 pitches - and the generous size of the pitches. We liked the trees around the edge which gave shade. We liked the wild flower meadow in the middle with mown paths and butterflies. We liked the quiet after 10 o’clock rule. The site was so peaceful. We liked the toilets, shower and washing facilities - in farm buildings but clean, cared for and with cut flowers! (Although only two toilets and one shower). We liked the “store” with a range of food items for sale which you wrote down and paid for at the end. The store also had Fridge and Freezer and we loved that! We loved the delicious blueberry blondies which Sally had baked and were there for sale one morning. We loved Sally’s attention to detail, and her caring about the environment. We had an elderly border collie with us and it was a great place for him too, with good walks nearby. We would love to have played table tennis (bats and balls provided) but we ran out of time! We would like to have walked to the pub (recommended by others and not far away) but we weren’t there long enough. We would like to go back!

Nem kedvelték Having to leave!

Kezelői megjegyzés: Such a wonderful list of likes! Such a lovely review! Beautiful photos 🤩

Thank you for enjoying the campsite & all that we offer. It was really good to meet you both and your beautiful dog.

We hope you’ll come to stay again another time soon.

Kedvelték We loved this site, the hosts could not have been nicer, nothing was too much trouble. It is a small site with only 9 pitches, which we love and it is also within a short walk of a great community run pub The Racehorse Inn. We took our spaniel camping too and it was so easy as we could walk him in the adjoining fields.
The shower was in a converted stable, which was absolutely charming, with fresh flowers from the garden. A little quirky as you have to pay £1 for hot water which goes cold if someone flushes the loo, but it's all part of the fun.
There is a fridge where you can store food and also a kettle with complimentary tea or coffee making facilities, perfect when you're trying to pack everything up to leave.
We will definitely be returning to this site in the not too distant future as it's an absolute gem.
There was also an area for a campfire, hammocks and also a playhouse and games.

Kedvelték Such a cute and cosy campsite with so many nice spaces to sit and relax. Good shower and honesty store room

Nem kedvelték Nothing about the campsite but the walking routes nearby were a bit overgrown

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for camping and for your great review!

We saw that a branch is blocking the pathway through the woods behind us. The land owner has been informed. Hopefully they will clear it soon!

Hope to see you again another time.
Best wishes,
Sally & Richard 🌞🏕️

Kedvelték Lovely peaceful surroundings, great play areas for kids, clean facilities. Nice little honesty shop with a kettle/ teabags (I was very grateful for these as I’d forgotten mine!!). Delicious cake on Saturdays!
Oh and the friendly hen!

Nem kedvelték The shower really is quite bad - I’d read the reviews but decided to try it for myself. However, it’s really not a deal breaker and wouldn’t put me off returning at all. Something to be aware of if you’re planning on staying longer than a couple of nights.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for your feedback. I think the shower unit needs replacing as the water is very hard here. Temperature can fluctuate when the pressure drops.

Meanwhile there’s a lovey bucket hanging up to use… and a large wash basin, so hope everyone can manage ok!

Please come to see us if you experience any issues and we will do our best to help.

Best wishes,
Sally & Richard 🏕️🌞
