Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Lovely small wood and grass area, plenty of room to set up alone, probably about 10 family’s when we arrived split between woods and grass area but all far enough away to be peaceful. Nothing fancy but that’s what we wanted just the three of us in two tents having fun. Near a road but little noise. Lovely walks just over the fence or coast 15 mins away. Had a fire off the ground for atmosphere. Slightly hard to find so make sure you know before you go it’s tucked down a track and easy to miss. Toilets ok .. overall it’s a wild camp but with toilets which we needed for kids. Back to nature but the east way. Lovely forests and coast just a few minutes away.
Disliked: All good can’t really think of anything a slightly more obvious sign on road but sites lovely. If anything be nice of woods was just for tents no camper vans but not an issue.

Liked: I arrived Holistic Woods and loved the location straight away. You had a choice of open pitches or woodland pitches which I really liked. The site was very clean and lots to do in the local area for all ages. The location is perfect, the beautiful town of Woodbridge is only a 5 minute drive away, you have estuary walks, a beautiful park, a skate park, lovely shops and most of all some really nice pubs and some great places to eat. If you want a day out at the beach, I’d recommend Felixstowe. Overall I had a lovely relaxing stay and I’d highly recommended this campsite.

Liked: I enjoyed my stay here so much that I extended it twice! Beautiful, clean, nearly wild campsite. You are free to pick your pitch in the pine forest (which you can drive into) or on grass pitches surrounded by pines, silver birch and ferns with plenty of space between campers. I received a really warm welcome from Jo the owner and felt relaxed straight away. A clear night sky here is breathtaking, I saw six shooting stars in a matter of hours. Wildlife is in abundance with plenty of butterflies, birds and bats. There is also some re wilding work taking place to increase the bio diversity of the pine forest which I found fascinating. Lots to explore locally. If you are entering the site via Woodbridge, postcode takes you to the forest lay-by, carry on driving and it's your first left.
Disliked: Leaving:(

Liked: Peaceful stetch of forest, slightly off the beaten track, but a stone's throw from Sutton Hoo and Rendlesham Forest trails. Joanne was also very friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: No shower facilities but not a big deal as we only stayed a couple nights.
