Shottisham Campsite Reviews

Rural, quiet camping

A lovely rural, quiet site. The cleanest showers and loos ever encountered camping. Clare and James were helpful and friendly but pleasantly low key. Excellent, despite the dreadful weather.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere

Lovely site, friendly and welcoming. Good clean facilities. Our little one loved seeing the animals and being greeted by the chickens each morning. A very family friendly site.

My stay

Certainly worth the 5-star ratings: the location is perfect, on the edge of the village with a lovely church and pub, the site owners are friendly and helpful and the toilet/shower blocks are some of the best we've seen. Good-sized pitches broken up with trees, and chickens, pigs and alpacas in the adjacent fields to keep you company!

Wonderful campsite. Great location.

Pretty relaxed campsite. Really clean facilities. Lovely local pub and walks. Visited Orford, Snape Maltings and Sutton Hoo. And….. the sun was out and it didn’t rain. Woohoo.

Fantastic little campsite!

This was our first stay here and we will definitely be back! Probably our new favourite site. The place is clean and yet relaxed. So quiet too! Slept so well and only woken by the dawn chorus, what a way to wake up. Up, close and personal with the alpacas, goats, sheep and chickens and lovely to see the children getting involved too. Being able to hire a fire pit and buy some wood was a real bonus. The pub is only a few minutes to wander to, but with booking ahead as they get quite busy. Highly recommended.

Spring 2024

Lovely stay at this small, low key, relaxed campsite with direct access to lots of paths and good local pub a walk away. On site animals were fun, especially the alpacas. Very clean facilities. Ready access to coastal and river walks etc

Fantastic site

A delightful campsite which I would definitely stay at again.

Very good

Nice, quiet and leafy site. Good amenities and relaxed. It suited us well.

Nice spot

Enjoyed a few quiet nights.

Lovely site

This was a lovely campsite in lovely countryside, with so many good dog walks all around. The site facilities were excellent and very clean. Would definitely return.

Peaceful breakaway

Wonderful campsite with excellent shower/toilet block. Very peaceful midweek stay in a relaxed environment. Footpaths directly from the site, one leading to pub 5 mins away serving great food and beer. Owners helpful and eggs for sale were amazing. Although site is in a quiet village it's close to many attractions and beaches on the Suffolk coast. Would thoroughly recommend and would like to return someday.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite, well kept and full of character, space and calmness. Chickens running free to welcome you every morning. Toilets and showers immaculate. A good base from which to explore the area and plenty of local footpaths to stroll or walk the dogs. While I was there, the shop and on site café were not open, but they looked very inviting. The only place I will look to stay next time I am exploring that part of the world.

Excellent campsite

Lovely campsite in beautiful location, very handy for Sutton Hoo, Orford, Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, etc. Excellent clean facilities, very quiet and ideal for a getaway break. My first visit to the area, would certainly be back.

Peaceful

Lovely rural location, peaceful and plenty of walks nearby.

Very tranquil

Lovely spot. Very quiet and peaceful. The local pub, The Sorrel House, is very good and only 2 mins walk. The Ramsholt Arms by the river was also lovely, that's about a 5 min drive. Lovely facilities on site, and very clean and tidy.

Shottisham Campsite

A lovely, quiet site with good size pitches and excellent washrooms.

Easter weekend

Nice, quiet site. Shame café wasn't open. Great for countryside walks. Nice restaurant/pub in easy walking distance.

A real hidden gem - perfect for exploring the Suffolk coast from

This was just the most wonderful weekend. Very well equipped campsite - didn't expect the fridge/freezer facility which was a bonus (especially in the hot weather). Chickens wandering round the site added fun, and being able to eat the eggs from these 'very free range' animals was great. It was lovely to be able to hire a firepit and buy firewood, too - and the cafe serving yummy coffee and cakes, and hiring out games was also a highlight. It's located within walking distance of a few pubs (and the nearest shop is a couple of miles away, too). Great to be able to park next to the pitch, and the pitches are well spread out too. And to top it all off, James and Claire are really welcoming and helpful. Basically, it was a fab weekend, and I'll definitely be back. I'd say it was a bargain, and the perfect place to explore the Suffolk coast from.
