 This is the 3rd time we've been to Swattlesfield!The site is the perfect blend of small and wild, whilst big enough for great facilities and larger groups.
There are two electric hook ups, a field for camper vans and larger tents, glamping huts and bell tends, and offbeat camping in the woods.
Jess makes your stay really easy and friendly and it has a lovely laid back atmosphere.

A very chilled atmosphere about the place. Definitely family friendly.
A small shop with everything you may have forgotten or could not bring.
Clean and well looked after, the staff could not be more helpful.
I recommend this site to you

Can't fault this site or the hospitality our family received.
It reminded me of camping when I was younger in simpler times, great atmosphere, back to basics camping with fires and cooking over them. A great covered area near toilets and showers had all extras you could need, pots, pans, gas rings and a bar football table.
Walks a minute from the camp over the Thornham estate leading to a nice pub with good lunches within half an hour.
A pizza oven you can light and enjoy your own pizza at a fraction of the price of a wood smoked one from elsewhere.
Lovely hosts able to help with your needs and questions.
Many Thanks Jess and Phil, we had a Great Easter Camp.
Regards Chris and Bev and Family.

This site is a joy to visit peaceful tidy all facilities available for all types of stays myself and 2 dogs always feel comfortable and safe.
Suffolk countryside walks and wildlife and an occasional spitfire circling the skies very relaxing.
My 3rd visit and I will return.

One of the best campsites we've ever visited at a reasonable price.
Lots of space, facilities were clean and well maintained.
Jess was welcoming and accommodating.
The place was really beautiful with a mix of fields and wood.
Very peaceful.
We'll be back!

Just got back from a quick camp here testing my new tent. Was on my motorbike, extremely friendly welcome, clearly very relaxed owners.
The site is beautiful in a lovely part of Suffolk, the town of Eye 3 miles away is lovely, nice shops and a chippy.
I camped in the wooded section which couldn't have been nicer, very relaxing.
The facilities are great, nice showers/toilets/sinks etc and a lovely kitchen area for cooking, even had gas hobs to use.
I will defo be going back next time I get a chance, super lovely and all at a very good price 10/10 from me!

Such a lovely friendly site and hosts. Really cannot say how much I enjoyed my little break in such a lovely woodland /park setting.
Weather was good and very easy place to unwind.
Having 2 dogs plenty of good walking and adjacent to Thornham Estate which has lots of pleasant facilities and walking paths.
