    Shottisham Campsite & Smallholding

    1 unit · Motorhome, Tent10 acres · Woodbridge, England
    Situated just a brief ten-minute drive away from the stunning coastline and merely five minutes from Sutton Hoo, this welcoming site is perfectly positioned for exploring all that Suffolk has to offer. Embracing a commitment to sustainable, low-impact living, the campsite aims to preserve its natural surroundings. Visitors have the option to settle into one of the site's 50 generously-sized pitches, 30 of which are equipped with electric hook-up. Spread across five small fields adorned with native trees and bushes, these pitches cater to tents, campervans, motorhomes, caravans, and RVs. For those in search of a touch of luxury, a 6m bell tent awaits, providing an ideal glamping experience. Housing up to five guests, the bell tent boasts a king-sized bed, double futon sofa-bed, single futon chair bed, complete bedding, electric amenities, a small fridge, and a kettle. Outside, a spacious decking area beckons with a shaded table and chairs, accompanied by a fire pit, gas BBQ, and a hot plate, setting the scene for delightful al fresco dining (complete with cooking utensils and crockery). Nestled within a smallholding, the campsite is home to rare breed pigs, alpacas, goats, and chickens, and guests are invited to join in the evening feeding sessions. Depending on the season, visitors may even have the chance to meet baby alpacas, goats, chicks, piglets, and more. Campfires are permitted in designated fire pits, available for hire on-site, and firewood can be purchased (though guests are welcome to bring their own). Dogs are welcome on secure leads, and the campsite offers direct access to walking trails meandering through acres of picturesque countryside.

    The Orchard Wagon

    1 unit · Glamping5 acres · Halesworth, England
    A true escape in the wild, our secluded Orchard Wagon is nestled in the corner of the apple orchard. Close to delightful beaches at Dunwich, Walberswick and Southwold, and a walk to the local pub. Perfect for those that want to get back to basics in nature, the wagon comfortably sleeps 2 people and includes a private bathroom, washing and kitchen cabin. The Orchard Wagon has a double bed (1.5m x 2m) with a smart little wood-burning stove to keep you toasty as you watch the stunning Suffolk sunsets. White Egyptian cotton sheets and towels provided. Cooking couldn’t be easier with the well-equipped cooking cabin next door or the barbeque on the stone terrace in front. Fire up the Chiminea to keep you warm as you eat al fresco. Take the stepping stone path up behind the wagon to find the washing shed with three separate rooms for washing up, showering, and the composting loo. Plenty of hot water and for those who like communing with nature try showering with the door open - it’s a lovely experience and what a view. This is camping in style!

    Weekend Trip to     Holistic Woods Campsite WILD
    It was a pleasure to stay at the holistic campsite. To camp inside a forest is a rare treat. With the bonus of fire pits to use outside the edge also. Sam was a great host. He was very welcoming and informative. I look forward to camping in the warmer weather and hopeful to bring the family too when the shower block is completed.

    Loved it here. Stayed for 2 nights. Really nice way of camping. Back to basics. 2 choices, in the woods or on the open heathland. No pitches just choose a spot. Spent 2 nights under the stars with a fire going. Perfect. Sam is very friendly and helpful. He will even deliver you some seasoned wood for the fire for a small fee which helps the cause so highly recommend that. A really good idea they have going on so will definitely be back.

    Back to nature! Hard to find a decent woodland to camp, this one's not huge, but it's peaceful and secluded. And the moblie loo was clean. My two pooches had a blast running around.

    This site offers a great location with camping spots in both woodland and grassy areas. It provides access to drinking water and a portaloo. Ideal for a weekend getaway, it's a perfect spot to reconnect with nature. If you like (almost) wild camping, this could be a great choice!

    Weekend Trip to     Holistic Woods Campsite WILD
    This is a lovely “off grid” spot that’s close to Woodbridge, Snape etc.. We stopped for 2 nights in our motorhome. There’s loads of choices on where to pitch up, in the woods or just outside, and very quiet. Easy access for a larger motorhome, as we found, just arrive in daylight if you want to pitch in the woods. Sam was very helpful, from booking to pitching up! My only slightly negative comment would be it’s quite expensive for a pitch with no facilities, other than a water pipe in the field.
