  • Rustige, gezinsvriendelijke camping op een kleine boerderij met café
  • Huur vuurkorven, ontmoet dieren, koop versproducten van de boerderij
  • 6 km van de kust van Suffolk en dicht bij meerdere natuurgebieden
Fancy a stay on a smashing Suffolk smallholding, in a traditional Suffolk village with a rather smashing pub – and all just four miles from the fab Suffolk coast? Blaze up a campfire and help to feed the animals at The Shottisham Campsite, based in the village of the same name a few miles from Woodbridge. The Shottisham Campsite is part of a working smallholding home to rare breed goats, pigs, alpacas and poultry, all of which guests are welcome to meet, greet and help feed during their stay. Homemade preserves and free-range eggs and meat are available to buy from the site team, along with firewood: campfires are allowed on site in firepits, which are available for hire for guests. The campsite is also home to the Blue Rabbit Café, a farm-to-fork setup that serves up home-made breakfasts, brunches and cakes (and hosts a visit from Pete's Pizzas most Fridays for an easy evening meal). Pitches are spread across several small fields bordered by native trees and bushes. Amenities include two small shower blocks with plenty of hot water powered by solar energy; washing-up areas; a chemical disposal point; waste and recycling bins and a fridge freezer for guests' use. Dogs on secure leads are welcome and there's direct access from the site to walking trails through acres of heathland, forest and fields. The nearest beach is the fabulously peaceful Shingle Street (10 minutes' drive away), with the seaside towns of Aldeburgh (half an hour) and Southwold (45 minutes) also well worth visiting.

Staanplaats op gras zonder elektriciteit

Ik was blij met The site was flat and the toilet/shower facilities were clean. Although we didn’t have children with us there is room for them to play, with a great playground and animals on the small holding for them to feed with the owner.
The site was in a great location with a pub within walking distance and several within a short drive.
I’m a history nerd, and there are lots of places to visit in the area including Sutton Hoo, a 10 minute drive away.
WiFi was ok once we logged onto site service.

Ik was niet blij met It was a shame that the Blue Rabbit cafe on the site wasn’t open.
The new shower block sometimes didn’t have hot water, but the old one always had hot water. This only happened once whilst we stayed. It was at the weekend when there was a lot of campers.

Ik was blij met Relaxed small holding with friendly chickens roaming. Host was pleasant, easy check in, clean, quiet in the week. Very rural in the middle of nowhere.
A nice 7mile round trip walk to the estuary through farmland byways. We have a campervan so we drove to beaches and woodlands. Good location.

Ik was niet blij met Gets busy at the weekends. Poor Mobile phone signal.

Staanplaats op gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Lovely site, spacious and quiet. Pre stay information was comprehensive and made getting set up easy and the owner was very helpful. On site facilities were good and the whole site seemed cared for and well-maintained and the local playground was great for the kids.

Ik was niet blij met No phone signal and wi-fi wasn't working when we stayed. Not a problem for us but others may want to be aware

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: I am so pleased you had a good time at the campsite. We do have rubbish phone coverage - sorry. The wifi is currently a bit hit and miss because of some technological problem (I don't really understand it). I am struggling to get the people who installed it to help - but I will find someone who can and hopefully it will be working reliably very soon.
Hope to see you again soon

Staanplaats op gras zonder elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Always hate giving such positive reviews as it often means these hidden gems become popular and the price goes up. Honestly can't fault it, lovely site.

We stayed in a tent in the back corner and it was perfect, not sure if it was a double pitch or should have been others but we had lots of space. Felt it gave us our privacy and with a 5 year old who doesn't realise tents aren't soundproof it meant that we didn't need to worry about that. Really made a difference and made it very enjoyable so don't shrink the plots.

At night we were able to watch the bats, and there was zero light pollution and absolutely no noise apart from the wind in the trees. Other sites we've stayed at you can sometimes hear the road or farm equipment, didn't here.

The facilities were clean and well stocked with paper, etc, and the drinking water tap was easily located.

Everyone was polite and friendly.

We didn't get to use the full facilities or explore the farm area as only there one night but the village play area being just next door was lovely when my son woke up at 6:00. Also well maintained.

Location being only 10 minutes from Sutton hoo and 15 from Woodbridge was ideal. A couple of narrow roads as you approach just to be aware of.

Ik was niet blij met Not necessarily a dislike as I enjoyed being able to cut off but one for people to be aware of if needing it, there is no phone signal for Three and the WiFi obviously doesn't extend to the edges of the site. Its rural Suffolk so to be expected and as I said, not an issue for us but could be for those who need contact.

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely review. I am so pleased you had a lovely time and the pitch was just right for you. I have no intention of shrinking the plots, it's good to feel that you have space when camping. We are so lucky that the village play area is right next to the campsite - maybe next time you will be here when 'animal feeding' happens (every saturday 5.30 and normally Wednesday 5.30 in school holidays) and you will get to come along and feed the chickens, alpacas pigs and goats!

Phone signal is very patchy here - it's great being rural for bats and no light pollution, but not so good for connectivity.
Hope to see you again soon

Ik was blij met Spacious pitches with trees for privacy/separation. Water points are plentiful. Email of info was brilliant.

Ik was niet blij met Toilet facilities ran very low on loo roll for afternoon (subsequently stocked up but it was… awkwardly timed!).

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your feedback about the toilet rolls. I do try and keep them stocked up with extra toilet rolls on the window sills. I have now bought some wall-mounted commercial toilet roll dispensers which hold larger rolls so hopefully the toilet paper won't run out as often as more.

Ik was blij met This site is beautiful, idyllic and peaceful. The first thing we saw on arrival was a free roam Chicken and wild rabbits. Claire, the owner came to meet us to check in and she was lovely. We purchased bacon, sausages and eggs which were all from her farm. Complete with Alpacas and goats. The toilets and showers were immaculate, there are also lots of dog walks from the camping fields. We will be coming back.

Ik was blij met A wonderful campsite. Claire gave us such a warm welcome. Feeding the farm animals was a wonderful experience. My Granddaughter loved it as did the grown ups.
Would recommend catching the Bawdsey walk on ferry across to Felixstowe.

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad you had a good time and enjoyed the famous 'animal feeding'. I love taking people to see the animals and share in all the alpaca and chicken cuddles! Animal feeding is definitely for grown-ups and children!

I love getting the ferry to Felixstow as well. Maybe next time you could try the weekend ferry that runs from Boyton across Butley creek - it is a small rowing boat run by volunteers and is great.
take care and hope to see you again soon

Lokale bezienswaardigheden

The Shottisham Campsite is two miles from the River Deben, which can be explored via canoe or pleasure boat trip for lazy afternoons. If you'd rather make a break for the beach, the wild and unspoilt pebble beach at Shingle Street is your closest; for a sandy beach you'll need to travel to Felixstowe (35 minutes' drive) or Southwold (45 minutes). The handsome coastal town of Aldeburgh, home to a couple of top-rated fish and chip shops as well as fishermen's huts selling the latest catch, is also within easy reach. About four miles away is the market town of Woodbridge, lying along the River Deben and near both the 3,700 acres and miles of bike trails of Rendlesham Forest and the fab ancient burial site of Sutton Hoo, famed as the most significant Anglo-Saxon site in the land. Orford and Framlingham castles are also good old options in the area, or you could go wildlife watching instead, at one of the several nature reserves around including Orford Ness National Nature Reserve and RSPB Minsmere. The Alde Estuary around Snape Maltings is another well-known spot for wildlife watching; after a nature spotting trip, trek into town to take in a show at the Snape Maltings Concert Hall (an oyster bar is in the hall too). Plenty of other options are within five miles of Shottisham, including fishing, sailing, a public swimming pool, a cinema, golf, horse riding and several pubs and restaurants.
