About the site
Set on a working farm, guests can enjoy the clucking of chickens and the background buzz of a real farm going about its business. Named after the famous Anglo-Saxon estate, a short walk will take you to the National Trust site which is home to a royal burial site, precious artefacts and a historical ship.
The site is home to 15 fully serviced 10m x 12m grass and sand pitches and five non electric grass pitches. All of the pitches allow tents and tourers and RVs with up to six guests.
Located just off a B road, guests can enjoy easy access to many of Suffolk's most popular destinations. It's ten minutes in the car from Rendlesham Forest, great for walking your pup or 20 minutes from Orford and 25 minutes from Framlingham.
Evenings can also be best spent cooking up a BBQ, as long as it is raised from the ground. There is also a selection of fire pits available to hire with wood for sale.
Dogs are welcome, with up to two allowed per pitch.

A note from the site themselves...
When I retired from the Health Service, I decided that I needed to have something to do that would allow me to meet people. I started volunteering at the wonderful Anglo Saxon Burial Site here at Sutton Hoo and quickly realised that we needed to have a campsite as there were so many visitors arriving that were asking if I knew of anywhere to stay.
My husband Garrow and I then planned the campsite from scratch to offer, simplicity with all the services. Lovely big pitches with little hedges to surround each pitch offering some privacy once established. The kind of site we enjoyed when camping in France.
I really enjoy meeting people and making new friends who return each year. It is wonderful to watch the children playing and making friends by the climbing frame and swings while their parents enjoy rest and relaxation while keeping an eye on them.
Each year we look forward to opening the site again and welcoming campers to our particularly beautiful part of Suffolk. I hope to see you soon, Helen
Pitches set on grass and sand with water and drainage hook ups and optional 16 amp electric. Suitable for tents, roof tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs. Pitches are 10m x 12m.
Lovely quiet location perfect for visiting Sutton Hoo and many local attractions. Helen was the perfect host and the Easter egg hunt for the kids was an added extra treat, thank you. My daughter loved the climbing frame and we liked it's central site location visible from every pitch.
Highly recommend. It’s a beautiful peaceful small site, everything you could need and everywhere spotless. Convenient situation and lots to do in the area.
