 This site has been in the forest and neglected for many years. Campers and caravanners need to support this site to enable investment, otherwise this may be lost in the future. It is what it is.
A camping site in the middle of the forest. A very natural setting with basic amenities. Shower block is basic but clean. Buttons on the outside of the shower cubicle operate the water. The temperature is fixed but there seems plenty of time to have a shower. One disabled shower/toilet accessed with radar key.
External washing up sinks not under cover. No laundry or ironing facilities. No shop - yet.
The site can get messy under foot in bad weather, especially around water and elsan points. A few hard standing and good shade around the edge of the site.
The new owners have taken on a mammoth task but they will need your support and understanding to develop it further.
The staff are very helpful and friendly.

We had a fantastic stay.
The campsite is a perfect setting for a hassle free holiday walking around beautiful woods.
There was lots of space for our grandchildren to play

Fantastic campsite. We were welcomed upon arrival by really friendly and helpful staff.
The site has very clean facilities. Everything was easy to find.
It's just a beautiful, quiet location in the middle of woodland.
We will definitely be returning ASAP.

We're delighted to confirm that this campsite is now under new ownership, and will reopen for bookings from April 2025. It is now known as Rendlesham Camping - previously it was called Tangham Campsite

Please note that this site remains closed at the time of writing. New operators are being sought, and hopefully the campsite will reopen at some point in 2024.
If you know that this situation has changed in the future, please could you let us know. Many thanks

Please note, the owner has advised that after 40 years of happy camping, Forest Camping has closed due to retirement and the commercial lease ending.
Please note that the site is closed for the 2023 season.
If you know that this situation has changed in the future, please could you let us know. Many thanks

We booked this a couple of weeks before, all online really easy to do.
It is in the middle of Rendlesham Forest, it was a lovely peaceful site, you are given a pitch number on your booking form.
As you step out of your tent you literally walk straight into the forest, we saw birds of prey, bats, owls and deer during our walks in the forest.
The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean, the washing up facilities are perfectly adequate, there is a mini laundrette and a small building with freezers, a pay phone and tourist information leaflets.
I would definitely recommend this site, the nearest shop is around 5 miles away so take supplies with you

Lovely peaceful site in the heart of the forest. Showers were clean and adequate but make sure you have 50p coins to use.
The weekend was very busy and pitches did seem to be a bit crowded together.
However this place is great for dog walking, cycling and following the UFO trail.

We liked the campsites position in the forest with trees all around. It had a playground for younger children and there was one at the forest centre 5 mins walk away as well as a zip wire.
You could walk the trails or hire bikes from the forest centre which was great. The showers were 50p for 5 minutes but the compartments were quite small.
The washing up area was handy but not new. As it was Bank holiday weekend the bins were full which wasn’t great but I guess they couldn’t help that.
The shop could have done with being open for longer hours or earlier on a morning we have been used to that on a number of sites.
Overall we had a great time camping with friendly people in a beautiful setting.

We were due to go on a Saturday but as gale force winds were predicted I phoned the site an asked if we could arrive early on Sunday and they were more than happy with that.
The site is located in the forest in a big clearing area. We were quite disappointed with the lack of grass on our pitch but I guess that was due to the sandy soil. The soil drained really quickly after a day of particularly heavy rain. The pitches are flat with easy access to the ehu points.
The shop is well stocked and the laundry room well appointed.
The toilet and shower facilities need updating. The showers were 50p for 5 mins. I did not really find this long enough especially with long thick hair. The showers were a bit cramped with dirty shower curtains and the water ran cold for the first 30secs or so. Pitch fees were not cheap so I would ha e expected a fabulous shower block if I were paying extra on top. Not the case.
It is a beautiful location but the shower and toilet facilities let it down.
