Liked: What an absolute gem of a campsite! Perfect for us in every way.Very friendly and helpful owner.Immaculately kept site, including toilets and showers.Lovely chilled vibe due to ample spacing, the lake and picturesque views.Added touches which show the passion of the owner - a bench table and parasol allocated to each pitch; a small woodland area dedicated to children which has a super mud kitchen: a thoughtfully well equipped washing up area for campers; a lot of knowledge of the many country walks straight from the site (including to the pub).The pitches are laid out well to give a peaceful, not just for profit experience.Now our best campsite in the whole of Suffok. Spot on!

Liked: Another absolutely amazing weekend at wheathill Facilities are always pristine The campsite is just gorgeous, the children just love to run around and be with nature. We love that it's a small site with no frills. Children don't need a playground to have fun, wheathills I'd a natural playground. They can watch the fish and water boatman in the pond. Listen to the birds, watch the pair of kites hunting in the evening, roll around on the grassy hill, run through the woods and just have fun with nature 💚 Friendly staff always willing to help. Excellent value for money We will be back again !!
Disliked: The tap in the smaller toilet room has slightly too much pressure and soaks you if your not careful. Only a very very minor issue and is slightly funny when the 3 year old got a face full of water 🤣. The person next to us was using a drone each night, our personal feelings on this is that it is a bit intrusive and ruined the sunset for the rest of the campers. We were all sat peacefully watching it and then the next moment you have a load buzzing noise floating above your heads. Not wheathills fault, but wondering if on of the site rules could be no drones ?! As I know a farmer ran up to tell the man that the drone could scare the horses !!!

From the manager: Thankyou for your review 😁 We love that you have said we are a ‘natural playground’ and that the children enjoyed playing in nature. We have recently changed the tap as it was getting stuck down so we will look into adding a flow control valve so no one else gets soaked 🙈 Our rule on drones is to not fly them over adjacent fields as they may scare the horses. We don’t want to ban these completely but will take your comments on board.

Liked: Beautiful site in the heart of the rolling Suffolk hills. The pitches are situated around the lake and the views are lovely. A couple of minor issues - our satnav tried to take us up Derrick Hill. DO NOT do this. The campsite sign is immediately next to the hill with the entrance through the farmyard. The hill to access the site is quite steep but once you are there it's a joy. Sarah is super helpful and friendly. There are 2 lovely showers and 2 loos, as well as washing up facilities for campers. Currently only cold water for washing up but Sarah said they are planning to install hot water over the winter months. They are also installing a grey water waste drain in the ground which will be very useful for motorhomers. Grey water currently needs to go in the Elsan point which is uphill so a bit of a trial. The site also has a couple of glamping pods which looked lovely. Very peaceful and beautiful site. Will visit again.
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thankyou for your review, we are indeed planning to put hot water in the wash up area and a drain for grey water. Look forward to welcoming you back :)
Highly recommend, a basic site with everything done well.
