Fancy some secluded downtime exploring rural coastal Suffolk? The tree-shaded pitches at Hill Farm are in a peaceful setting near the market towns of Saxmundham and Halesworth, and handily accessible from the A12, as well as to the coast and pretty villages, historical hamlets, and popular seaside towns, such as Southwold and Aldeburgh.
This is a site that welcomes families and groups of friends, and it's dog-friendly too (there’s a 4-acre woodland to the north of the site that's great for dog walking). The site has good TV reception for relaxing indoors on damp or chilly days.
The popular village of Westleton (10 minutes’ drive) has a village store, a farm shop, a garage and 2 pubs; and if you fancy a change from cooking, there is also a nice pub and a tearoom, in the Darsham village area (only 5 minutes drive or a 30 minute walk away through some lovely fields).
Back on site, there are a toilet cabins with hot running water, plus other facilities including 4 showers, a portaloo, and a washing machine, grey waste and chemical toilet disposal and recycling points. Wi-fi is nearly all over the site too.
The shared facilities at the top of the site also has a fridge and a washing up area, with a warm water tap, a nearby kettle and a plug socket for charging mobiles. Picnic tables, PIR lighting and Starlink wifi is also provided.
Please not that dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, and yes campfires are allowed, as long as the fire pit is raised off the ground and the fire is supervised at all times, with a bucket of water at hand too. Thank you for booking!

If it’s a ‘proper’ Suffolk wild-camping adventure you’re after, have a look at Lions Row, a spacious back‑to‑basics site on a working farm just outside Ufford. It’s completely surrounded by countryside, but only a handy five minutes’ drive (or a 35 walk) from the pubs, takeaways and shops in Wickham Market.
You can park at the pitches, which are mown into the long grass. It’s a clever spot for families as it’s a mile from the nearest road, making it quiet and safe for kids to roam freely without any danger from traffic.
As this is wild camping, facilities are minimal: drinking water, a simple washing-up sink, compost loos and basic gas-heated outdoor showers are your lot. However, you’ll wake up to birdsong every morning and go to sleep by starlight on clear nights; just remember to bring torches and batteries for after-dark wanderings.
The views are peaceful and rural, and the field is bordered by deciduous woodland – great for exercising any four-legged pals – criss-crossed with footpaths leading to country pubs (there are four within half an hour’s walk). It’s also close to heritage attractions such as Sutton Hoo (10 minutes’ drive).
If you would like to book multiple pitches for a big group, do get in touch directly if easier.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Great amenities and very clean site. The location is perfect for walking to the beach and into Southwold. The grain shed bar and live music on the Saturday evening was a great addition to our camping weekend! We will be back!

Had a three night stay in the forest, it was perfect, quite, cool, lots of walks with my dogs.
I am self contained so didn’t use the facilities.
Would definitely recommend if you want a relaxing few days away.
Will be staying again at some point.

As soon as I made the booking I received a message from jaik with all the details I would need and extra directions. Jaik was very attentive from the get go. originally, from rookie error, I had booked a hard standing pitch for a caravan but I had a tent, Jaik was on the case within minutes and instantly sorted us out. Nothing was too much for him, showers, toilets, wifi and electricity on site.
Site was quiet and as per request we were placed in a remote area which was lovely with 2 kids.

2 nights at Goldcrest - Breakaway Camping
We really enjoyed our long weekend at Robin's Nest. The birds were singing and the sun didn't stop shining. Everything in the caravan was clean and ready for us. Beds all made up. So quiet in the evening.
Lovely wooded area out of the sun's heat and a seating area in the shade near a wildlife pond, mayflies, dragonflies butterflys. Just beautiful and relaxing. Booking again very soon. We love it.

2 nights at Glamping at Bressingham Gardens
Wonderful glamping site in a meadow with one other tent. It was so nice to be able to wander around the gardens after they had closed and early in the morning! There was noticeable traffic noise during the night but that was mentioned in the details. A proper shower would be a great addition but again the lack of that was expected. As the public can see the tent from the gardens it would have been nice to have a couple of padlocks. Overall though highly recommend - a wonderful escape and after hours access to the gardens was priceless! Many thanks!

Great well appointed campsite. Clean showers and toilets plenty of firepit cookers for outdoor cooking. Limited number of well spaced pitches means it will never feel crowded. Pitches also came with a picnic bench which is always useful. Would happily return as the area is beautiful.
