Small family-run site on a working arable farm 10 miles from Ipswich
15 minutes' drive from Felixstowe beach on the Suffolk coast
Hire a firepit for keeping warm and toasting marshmallows

Cosy by name, cosy by nature – this small site in the Suffolk countryside is part of a working arable farm that’s been in the same family for more than 75 years. As guests, you are cordially invited to share this friendly corner of the Ramsey family home, 10 miles from Ipswich and easily accessible from the A14 and A12. Peace, quiet and the great outdoors are all yours for the taking at Cosy Camping Suffolk, with little to distract you from the important business of enjoying life in the slow lane. There are no organised activities or fancy facilities here, but there’s heaps of space for kids to run around and play games. When evening comes, hire one of the site’s firepits to gather round to toast marshmallows while having a good old-fashioned natter. As it’s a petite site you’ll not have to walk too far from your pitch to find the toilet block, which has showers and a handy wet room for use by families or less mobile guests. If you're going to light up a barbie, the owners recommend picking up supplies from one of the farm shops in Trimley, five minutes’ drive away, or heading to the excellent Suffolk Food Hall in Ipswich. You may prefer to avoid the washing-up altogether of course, in which case you can take a 20-minute stroll to the nearest pub for freshly prepared meals and local cask ales.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very peaceful and scenic in good location with large pitches.

Disliked: Thought the firewood was a bit pricey for not quantity compared to other places we've stayed and would have been nice to have had somewhere to boil a kettle and stored some frozen/cold goods.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We camped here for a couple of nights recently and fell in love with the place. I wasn’t sure eggs we’d be in for as it was a smaller site however, the charm of the place was so gorgeous. This together with the brilliant facilities made for a place we’ll be heading back to. The lady running it was warm and friendly too. I was concerned that not having the car at the pitch was going to be a hassle but being able to take it on for loading and unloading was fine and not using the cars on site made it do much more cosy.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The peace and tranquillity of the place. Only spent 3 nights here,wish i could of stayed longer. The campsite is close to many visitor attractions and easy to get too. The couple who run the place are really pleasant people. My last morning I got up really early (04.30) to have breakfast with the wildlife, a real joy.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike about the place, apart fron having to leave the place.

Local attractions

This part of Suffolk is famed for its beaches, and your nearest will be in Felixstowe, which you can reach with a 15-minute drive or a half-hour cycle. Walk through the Seafront Gardens to reach the beach, and then head north along the coast to see the Martello Towers that were built here to keep Napoleon’s army out in the early 19th century. 20 minutes’ drive from the farm is the archaeological site Sutton Hoo; more recent history can be seen at the Ipswich Transport Museum – exhibits include fire engines, buses, trams and horse-drawn vehicles from the 19th and 20th centuries. For some farmyard fun, spend the day at Jimmy’s Farm, 15 minutes away, where you can meet animals including sheep, ponies, pigs and meerkats – don’t forget to pick up a bag of food to feed them. If the horses are your faves, you can see some handsome native types at the Suffolk Punch Centre, half an hour away. If you’ve been inspired to get out on horseback, there’s a riding centre 20 minutes away that has activities for kids and adults. Golfers, meanwhile, have a choice of two courses within a 20-minute drive.
