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.

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.

Farm campsites in Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB guide

Overview

The Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB offers exactly what it says on the tin: sweeping coastline and secluded heaths, just waiting to be explored. Nature trails and rural camps abound for ramblers and riders, while thrill seekers can get their kicks wild swimming in the region’s rivers or surfing on the North Sea. Winter visitors may prefer to get their coats, but can still enjoy strolls on now-deserted beaches, pub lunches next to roaring fires, and cosy stays in caravans or glamping pods.

Where to go

Woodbridge

As the gateway town between Ipswich and the Suffolk Coast, Woodbridge’s many campsites offer a convenient base for Suffolk exploration. Besides easy access to both the coast and city, visitors can also explore nature trails along the River Deben, the Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon burial site, and Rendlesham Forest, making this a top spot for families and independent Hipcampers.

Aldeburgh

Experience quintessential British camping at a holiday park right on the coast, with award-winning fish and chip shops and Blue Flag beaches nearby. The town roughly marks the middle of the Suffolk Coast Path, making it a great departure point for journeys north—toward RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve—or south, towards Orford Ness National Nature Reserve.

The Tendring Coast

Down at the tip of Essex’s Sunshine Coast, the Stour Estuary is a relatively recent addition to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Coastal campsites near Clacton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze, and Harwich offer easy access to the AONB, plus other outdoor attractions, such as Hamford Water Reserve and Mersea Island.

Southwold

Another Hipcamper’s paradise, this charming coastal town is best-known for its secluded campsites, sandy beaches, and strong seaside heritage. Cradled by the River Blythe, North Sea, and Buss Marshes, hikers and bikers have plenty of different landscapes to explore.

Lowestoft

At the northern border of the AONB, camping near Lowestoft affords easy access to the coastal highlights of both Norfolk and Suffolk. Inland, you’ll find riverside campsites and the gateway to The Broads canal network, while caravan-friendly holiday parks dominate the rural coastline. Don’t miss the sunrise at England’s most easterly point, Lowestoft Ness.
