Suffolk Camping Pods is a small garden pod site of around a quarter of an acre in south Suffolk, close to the village of Lavenham. It has accommodation in cosy wooden camping pods, unfurnished, but each with its own private washroom just a short walk away; with shower, basin and toilet. Bring all your own camping equipment for a cosy camping experience minus the tent. You can also book your kitchen pack before arriving: just select as an extra when you make your booking. No beds or bedlinen are provided. The pods are in the peaceful garden of the house where the owners have lived for almost 20 years. Each is carpeted and has heating and lighting. The village centre is a 20-minute walk away (or two minutes in a car), and is well served by local shops including a grocer, baker, butcher, post office and a Co-op store and well as three pubs, several restaurants and tearooms.
