About Mill Hill Farm Caravan and Camping Park
Whether you enjoy the sound of birdsong, the feel of the sun and warm breezes or simply doing nothing at all, Anne and David welcome you to their caravan site - winners of Archant's best caravan and camping experience in Norfolk/Suffolk 2019. Enjoy the stunning sunsets from the hill and take in sweeping views over the open farmland from one of 50 spacious touring pitches suitable for your caravan or motorhome. The site's quiet policies allow for a peaceful break where you can see and hear wildlife close at hand. The spacious pitches are located in hedge lined bays and include optional electric hook-ups and easy access to fresh water taps. An awning/gazebo is welcome at no additional charge provided it is kept within your allotted pitch. Hardstanding pitches are available too. The site and facilities have been designed with accessibility in mind. Summer store and stay available. Dogs also welcome.
The campsite is normally open from April until October, but is not accepting bookings from tent campers due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
The site has two heated toilet and shower blocks. Each shower block also has a disabled accessible wetroom shower with toilet and there are additional covered areas for washing up.
The separate laundry log cabin houses the token operated washing machine and tumble drier. You can choose from two enclosed utility rooms to do the dishes and use the token operated washing machines and tumble drier in the laundry.
For relaxation, the site has a playing field and extensive off road dog walks. There are also two well stocked fishing lakes. One lake has an accessible fishing platform which is easily accessed by most mobility scooters.

Things to do on site and in the Saxmundham area
There are two fishing lakes onsite which have been stocked with Carp, Bream, Roach and Rud. Carp up to 30lb have been caught. Day fishing is by ticket, which can be bought at reception and night fishing is also available but must be pre-booked.
Being on the doorstep of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, there's plenty of stunning scenery to explore nearby on foot or by bicycle - including NCN routes and off road cycling across the heath and forestry.
There are footpaths and permissive paths accessible straight from the onsite dog walks. From here, you can walk out onto a network of quiet lanes, footpaths and bridleways. A short walk will take you to the Fox Inn at Darsham and Westleton with a shop, garage, cafe and pubs is two minutes by car.
Bird and nature watching is easy, from Barn Owl to Bee Orchid, Turtle Dove to Woundwort you do not even need to leave the site to see and hear wild birds and animals and see wildflowers. The site is adjacent to Suffolk Wildlife Trust Darsham Marshes Nature Reserve, so leave your car behind and walk out to this haven for wildlife.
The popular RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve and Dunwich Heath with its beach, Coastguards Cottage tearoom and unique sandlings heathland is home to an array of wildlife and are both approximately three miles away. You may even spot an otter!
Or perhaps laze by the sea at Southwold and eat fish and chips from Mark's Fish and Chip Shop, or visit Aldeburgh. These seaside towns are both just 15 minutes from the site.
History lovers should pay a visit to Framlingham Castle, once the refuge of Mary Tudor.
Why not take a gardens and golf break. There are many gardens and small garden centres close by, for example Henstead Exotic Gardens and Helmingham Hall, and there are golf courses at Halesworth (5 miles) and Southwold.
