About the site
Operated by brothers Gareth and James Bates as a family business, Rushbanks Campsite first opened in the 1950s and has been in the Bates family for three generations. It's set in the heart of the beautiful Dedham Vale AONB. This is the region immortalised by the famous paintings of John Constable, now known as Constable Country. It's also close to the charming Suffolk village of Nayland, characterised by its picturesque 15th century buildings. This family friendly site is the only official site on the banks of the River Stour and is perfect for boaters and canoeists. You're free to pitch where you like, so find your favourite spot and set-up near your group or family. Bell tents are also available to hire, complete with a double bed memory foam mattress for ultimate comfort. Rushbanks welcomes families who want to enjoy themselves, but is equally well suited to nature lovers, those who want to explore the great outdoors, and those who just want to relax and wind down around a campfire. Family and friend groups for get togethers, birthdays, stag and hen dos are welcome here. Well-behaved dogs are allowed on the campsite. Dogs must stay on leads and be cleaned up after.

Amazing site. Nothing to fault at all. Peter, the Warden, was so friendly and helpful too, as was James. Didn't meet Gareth but sure he would have been the same. Loved the nature and peace and quiet in the week. Understandably more lively at the weekend but not an issue at all. We will certainly be returning.
Great campsite in a beautiful location

Lovely off grid campsite, facilities were really clean and tidy - many loos were portaloos bit super clean and plenty of loo roll. The whole site was really clean and well managed with a friendly warden that genuinely was there to help you make the most of your stay. The canoeing was fantastic, we all really enjoyed it. As there is no shop on site & so off grid, it would have been helpful to have a little info on nearest shops/cash point.
