A note from the site themselves...

We moved to Suffolk as a family in August 2020 in the hope that we could start up a campsite or glamping site. We are both teachers and we wanted to be able to work part time to be able to spend more time with our children and not miss all the events that children do!

We love the outdoors and have spent lots of time doing camps and D of E as teachers. After four years in Suffolk we have finally done it! We aim to offer a happy, quiet and peaceful stay at our campsite. There are lots of opportunities for cycling around mostly flat roads and visiting local beaches, the broads and towns.

We hope to welcome you soon!

Very helpful and friendly - I arrived without the means to pump up my air bed and it was very quickly sorted for me. Tawny owls for company.

Henstead Fields is perfect location for exploring the coast and also further inland. We visited Southwold, Aldeburgh and Westleton. The site is very well maintained, the facilities are clean and tidy and the owner is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

We had a really nice 3 night stay at Henstead Fields over the August bank holiday. The site was fully booked, but still lots of space and very quiet, the owners are very friendly and attentive and always make time to say hello. A lovely dog walk next to the site is very handy and our spaniel explored most of it! The facilities were very well maintained and clean. We would definitely recommend this site and will return soon.

Site's response

Good morning! We're really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and still found the site quiet over the fully booked bank holiday weekend.
