Non-electric grass and earth pitch
Liked: My partner & I wanted a long weekend break after a stressful few weeks at work. Jaik has done amazingly well in maintaining a 'back to basics' campsite with a real rural feel - so so relaxing and made it really easy to unwind. Jaik himself is a great host, always easy to reach by text message & actually left us out a firepit for us to have a campfire after I asked. Really generous and responsive person. Our pitch was earth & grass, non-electric, perfect for our 3-person tent with lots of room to spare for our car and campfire. We also had a wooden worktop which was really handy when we were preparing food. We were also not far away from the toilet block, with lovely running hot water and a nice shower. There was also a washing up block stocked with cleaning products and sponges. We had everything we needed. Great location on a quiet farm, we met some other really friendly guests too. Well-situated to National Trust sites (we visited Dunwich Heath and Sutton Hoo) as well as the coast, Saxmundham, and a lovely farm shop. We had an amazing stay and can't fault anything. 100% would return!

Liked: Loved this campsite. Has a rural feel, set in farmland and countryside. Made me feel relaxed and be peaceful. My two dogs travelled with me and even they were restful. Will definitely return.

Liked: Lovely campsite and a kind, helpful owner! Jaik was friendly and welcoming and helped when we had a minor first aid incident! We liked it here so much we added an extra day to our stay. It’s peaceful and the back pitches (we were in pitch 11) are very spacious, private, and nestled in the trees. Saw two pheasants on my way to take out the recycling:)

Electric hardstanding pitch
Liked: Owner was very helpful. Lovely little site. Toilets dated but clean & seen worse. We went very early March (hardstanding) after a very wet winter & storm after storm. Walked through the site which was terribly muddy & most not really in use after so many storms but it looked like it would be lovely in amongst the trees once the ground dries up. We would definitely be happy to return. Ideally placed if visiting the Suffolk coast.
