Campsites for hikers in Rendlesham Forest

·

Rendlesham Forest draws hikers with its tangled trails and quiet glades. If you’re looking to hike by day and sleep under canvas, you’ll find over 290 tent camping options here tailored for walkers. Prices start at just £12 a night, averaging around £115, so there’s something for every budget. Top picks include Whitlingham Broad Campsite (52 reviews), known for its riverside pitches, Canal Camping (51 reviews), with flat meadows by the water, and the wildflower meadows at Wardley Hill Campsite (41 reviews). Most sites let you light a campfire, bring your dog, and use proper toilets. Some campers come for the hiking but stay for the lakeside fishing, a bit of surfing, or the chance to spot deer at dusk. Pack your boots, bring a torch, and expect to hear owls at night—Rendlesham rewards those who linger after the trails quiet down.
