Badger Sett primitive grass and earth tent campsite (Private restroom amenities, premium, water view)

Liked: Location of the site. How quiet it was. Never needed to speak to the owners but very clear from signage that they were on hand if needed. Shower was lovely, looking to install similar at home

Disliked: Odour in toilet which can't be helped. Just thankful for facilities.

Liked: Lovely site in a beautiful position beside the estuary. Each pitch exclusively arranged in a clearing so you were unaware of other campers. My first experience of a compost loo, loved it!

Local attractions

Alton Water Sports Centre is set in 400 acres of countryside, where you can wander walking and cycling tracks, go fishing and try out watersports on the reservoir. All equipment, as well as bikes, can be hired at the sports centre. Suffolk Ski Centre (both 15 minutes’ drive) also has some high-octane activities, from snowboarding to skiing on the dry ski slope. More gentle local pursuits might include visiting National Trust-owned attractions including Pin Mill (10 minutes), the setting for Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’ on the Orwell estuary, and Flatford Mill (half an hour) in Constable Country, an area with glorious trails for hiking and cycling alongside the river Stour. Spoil well-behaved kids with a day out among the rare-breed animals and reptiles at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park (20 minutes), where you can also set them up with experiences like anteater-feeding sessions. And if everybody’s keen to get down to the waterside, you can walk to Harkstead river beach directly from the campsite in 15 minutes – but remember to check the tide times.
