About the site


Located just ten minutes from the stunning coast and five minutes from Sutton Hoo, this family friendly site is in a prime spot for exploring all that Suffolk has to offer. The campsite is also committed to sustainable, low-impact living to protect the surrounding environment. Guests can pitch up on one of the site's 50 spacious pitches, 30 with electric hook-up. The pitches are spread between five small fields and broken up by native trees and bushes, each welcoming tents, campervans, motorhomes, caravans and RVs. This charming campsite is part of a working smallholding with rare breed goats, pigs, alpacas and chickens - and you're welcome to help as the animals are fed on Saturday evenings. Depending on the time of year, you may be lucky enough to meet baby alpacas, goats, chicks, piglets and more. Campfires are permitted in fire pits (which the site hires out), and you can buy firewood (or you can bring your own). Dogs on secure leads are welcome, and there is direct access from the campsite to walking trails through acres of beautiful countryside.

A note from the site themselves...

We manage the campsite and smallholding in accordance with the principles of sustainability and looking after the land. We manage the site organically so we don't use pesticides or chemical fertiliser.

We encourage everyone to recycle as much as they can. We also look to conserve water so will see we collect and reuse rain water for the animals and smallholding. Myself and the team look forward to welcome you to our eco site soon, Claire

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2025

Lovely campsite in a very peaceful setting and very attentive host. The loos and showers are plentiful and spotlessly clean. Our only comment would be that we went in April when it was a bit fresh outside so heating in the loos would be a real plus as would hand driers

Dad and daughter stay.

Booked for 2 nights and then extended to a further 3 nights. Staff very helpful and the site was very clean. A good mixture of families who appeared to be having a very good time. Good games for the children and restful for adults. Lamas goats and chickens . Lovely area and a very helpful pub 200 metres away.
