Powered grass campsite (sloping, adults only)
Liked: An excellent site. We were greeted warmly by Alison who pointed out the amenities before showing us to our very generous pitch. The shower block was great, with under floor heating and individual wet rooms. It's a very peaceful site in a lovely setting, you can walk into Rendlesham Forest. We will definitely return, but might leave the tent at home and book one of the lodges with hot tub overlooking the river!
Disliked: This isn't a negative against the site, just our personal opinion - we didn't have bikes, and think they would have been useful as apart from the beautiful walks in the immediate area, other places of interest are a bit far to walk.

Absolutely stunning! If you go at the weekend you can enjoy the cafe!

Primitive grass tent campsite (adults only)
Liked: Beautiful, peaceful, rural location surrounded by nature. We booked a non electric tent site. Lovely walks from the site, even saw a Barn Owl swoop past our tent door at dusk! Welcomed on arrival by site manager. Super facilities and a superb breakfast at the site cafe open at weekends ~ highly recommend.

Liked: Excellent communication, information on location, surrounding area, etc. We were met as soon as we arrived, given the option of 2 available pitches, which are very large. Excellent facilities, clean and large shower/toilet cubicles. Everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Super quiet and peaceful.
