About the site
Set on the peaceful edge of the Norfolk Broads, this small, family-run eco campsite offers spacious meadow pitches and cosy glamping, just 20 minutes from the Suffolk coast. The site has nine grass pitches in total, including two non electric pitches for backpackers and small tents. These pitches are for guests arriving on foot or by bike. There are also two optional electric pitches for campervans and roof tents, located in a small paddock. A further five spacious grass pitches (10m x 10m) can accommodate units up to 7m by 5m and offer an optional 10 amp hook up. Each pitch comes with its own picnic bench and is suitable for tents and trailer tents. For a touch of extra comfort, the Bumblebee Pod provides a cosy retreat for couples, featuring a double bed, dining table and a compact kitchenette with a kettle and fridge. Bedding and towels are included, and guests have access to private facilities nearby. The Dragonfly and Foxglove shepherd's huts are equipped with a double bed, dining table, log-burning stove, and kitchenette with a gas hob, kettle and more.

Ideally positioned, the campsite is just five minutes from Beccles, where boat hire is available on the Broads. The seaside towns of Southwold and Walberswick, known for their beaches and crabbing spots, can both be reached within a 30 minute drive. To help protect the meadow and preserve the car-free feel, vehicles are not permitted on most pitches. Wheelbarrows are provided to assist with transporting camping gear, and as the site spans just three acres, everything is within easy reach. Dogs are welcome to join your stay on the pitches and in the glamping units. BBQs and fire pits are permitted, provided they are raised off the ground. Wood must be purchased onsite.
