 Very pleasantly surprised at this site. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Love the fact they supply a picnic table per pitch in the tent field and the pitches are a very good size.
Aoos loved the fire pits, makes the evening special toasting marshmellows.
Good location, good local pub with excellant food.
Definately will be returning and recommending to friends.

Only our second camping trip but what a lovely site. A good space for the tent and car and so nice to have our own picnic table. Very well laid out, pretty site. Good, clean toilets and showers. Very friendly and helpful owners. I look forward to returning. I liked the separate field spaces for tents and caravans. We ate at the Fox Inn which was lovely. A great stay.

We stayed the last week July first in august 14 nights there was 3 families we had 2 teenagers. The site pitches were advertised as spacious and that's what we got plenty of room as we had two pup tents on our pitch. The toilet block was sometimes busy but it was height of season the showers were always hot and clean. Lovely walks some long or short around village area could buy local fresh produce then call in local pub for a drink or two. We visited many of the surrounding areas eg flexistowe, Ipswich, southwold Aldeburgh beautiful place beaches don't have sand but that was fine as we didn't have young children. The wardens were all very friendly and liked to make sure everything was ok.

Have just returned from a glorious 4 days at Steadings with friends (2 tents, 3 adults, 4 teenagers, 2 dogs) and what a relaxing place it was. It was refreshing to find a site in which the owners have obviously invested thought and money for the benefit of their guests. The facilities were clean modern and working - this must be one of only a handful of sites that have the radio playing and powerful Dyson hand dryers in the toilet block! Showers were modern, powerful and warm and despite their being only 2 dedicated male and 2 female showers, the wait for them was not a problem. I think this was helped by the additional 2 separate family showers whose use was encouraged by those with small children.
The good sized pitches were arranged over various fields bordered by trees and the one that we were in encouraged a feel of seclusion making the site feel quite cosy.
The copper bowled fire pits were also a nice touch which came free when you purchased a bucket of logs for £10. Also included in the price was a good sized wooden picnic bench with each pitch which provided an ample seating/eating area for all of us.
The Laundry room included a Fridge Freezer that could be used to store items of food and re-freeze ice blocks free of charge. This was very much appreciated as whilst we were there the weather was beautifully warm.
The site sits on the edge of Newbourne Springs Nature Reserve which provided a good walk for the 2 dogs that we had with us and rewarded us with the Fox pub approximately 15 minutes walk away which was welcoming, served lovely food and gave us 10% off of our drinks bill because we were staying at Steadings.
The park was was within easy driving distance of Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh and Southwold all of which we visited whilst based there. We enjoyed a good day canoeing at Iken Canoe near Snape.
So overall a big thumbs up for Steadings Park. Thank you for making our stay as relaxing as we had wanted it to be:-)

The location of this campsite is fantastic.
The campsite is well spaced out with some lovely play areas for the children.
The local pub 'the Fox' is only a 10 minute walk away and the food was amazing!
The owner was initially very approachable and helpful. Although when we first checked in he did tell us if we're were going to be noisy we shouldn't bother to check in! (We were a family of 4 with two children under 7 so hardly a 'stag do'!)
On the Saturday night the owner was very rude to a group on our field. The group were accused of being noisy (which they were not) and then told them to pack up their tents (it was gone 10pm) and he said he didn't care they had children in the tent!. He also told the group that they were not customers but Morons! I felt he was calling all his paying customers on his site the same!
So although the site was brilliant I would not recommend this site because of the attitude of the owner. He was completely unreasonable and he didn't seem to care about his paying customers!

Lovely site with nice views. Staff really friendly and helpful.
Toilets were clean although there are only two showers in the men's block and two in the women's - everyone had cold showers on second morning as water was cold. It would be really helpful to have some toilets further down the site as having them only at the top by the entrance is a bit far at night for people in the bottom field.
Good electric hook ups with extension leads provided. Camp fire great fun. Would return again.

My girls and l stayed here last week. We all had a fantastic time. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Fridge freezer for campers was fantastic as it was so hot. Toilet and showers were clean and tidy. The two play areas were a big hit and the girls had a lot of fun. The pitch sizes were good and we had our own fire pit and picnic bench on the pitch which saved me packing room in the car. The village it's self was lovely, another excellent play area and lots of nurseries and roadside stalls selling home grown produce. We also went down to the river and swam two days running. We will definitely be going back as soon as we can.

A really great campsite with lovely site owners, warden & staff. Very spacious pitches, all with EHU. The toilet block was clean with constant hot water for the showers. There's also a laundry room that has a fridge freezer you can use free of charge. There are two well maintained, safe children's play areas. The site is next door to a nature reserve - just a 15-20 minute stroll through the reserve & you get to The Fox. It's a great pub serving an excellent pint & great food.

Dear owner couple from Steadings Park, north from Harwich. After the nightboat on an early sundaymorning at your gate in July my wife and I didn't know how to judge the camping. We stayed almost a week! Specially the beautiful views from the tent field is very much in our heads. Many thanks for the help with our GPS system. Britain should standard be on the TOM TOM, area West Europe. Jan

Imagine you had been camping for years and then designed the perfect campsite. Well this is probably what it would look like - unless that is you are the sort of person who always manages to find fault with some small thing.
Great site with a choice of fields (quiet, campfires, etc) large pitches, reasonably priced given it's so good and beautiful surrounding countryside.
The site was very quiet being early in the season until Friday night when nearly every pitch was taken but with so much space it was a great atmosphere. Seems word has got out about how good Steadings Park is. Give it a try but suggest you check for vacancies first.

We have just returned from 4 nights at Steadings and we were very impressed. The welcome was warm and the setting is beautiful, the owners tell me they have done a lot of landscape work over the winter months and it shows. The site is divided into areas which means you have reasonable privacy, the pitches are huge and allow you set up in whatever direction you like, water points are plentiful and the whole site is neat and tidy. The shower block is very clean and quite modern with large shower cubicles and there are 2 family showers, my wife worried that as there are so many pitches during the summer the facilities could be a bit limited but time will tell. Locally there is the famous Fox Inn where the portions are huge and the food very good and there is a farm shop about a mile away (not open Mondays) Tescos is a 10 minute drive along the A12 towards Woodbridge. The local area is full of lovely areas to visits, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Woodbridge and then there is the very beautiful Constable country. Felixstowe were a pleasant surprise to us, they have improved the promenade enormously over the last few years with work still progressing and Ipswich Marina is well worth a visit with its many cafes and bars as well as some interesting boats.
A visit to this area of Suffolk is a must do for any camper or caravanner and we think Steadings is just about the perfect place to stay in the area.

Stayed for 4 nights on this great campsite seems that the owners have got it just right. The area is nice with plenty of footpaths with 1 straight out the campsite leading directly to the pub, had a meal there first night & would recommend the food. A bit of a longer walk took us down to the mayfly pub which is in a nice setting by the river. Went into felixstowe and discovered it to be really pleasant. The fire pits by each pitch are a great idea as well all in all a great site

Back at Steadings again and this site just gets better and better.
We had 5 families in our group and advanced booking meant we had a fantastic spot overlooking the Newbourn Springs nature reserve. The camps fires burnt brightly every night.
The family shower rooms are a great addition and all the facilities were spotless.
Our day trip to Aldeburgh was great, kite flying on the beach, fish & chips and a fantastic ice cream on the walk back to the car.
Can't wait until the next visit.

Just come back from a three night stay at the end of May, found the campsite to be very peaceful, and being able to hire the fire pit was great fun! The toilets and showers were adequate, although there are only two showers, having said that I did not have to queue! The shop was a bit disappointing, as there was not any milk on the Sunday, and no marshmallows! We bought a map of local footpaths, and spent a couple of days enjoying the local countryside and pubs! Ate at the Fox, which was very nice, as there are always offers on for discounts, and 10% off drinks was useful, as the drinks were very pricey. Took a walk to the Maybush which is down by the river. All in all a lovely break, and we even managed to wear the dog out, with all the walking we did (12 miles in two days). Would definitely recommend, and will be going back at some stage in the future.

Spent a fantastic three nights here after a spur of the moment decision. Only an hour from home but felt a million miles away. Myself, my partner and our two dogs had a great, relaxing weekend. Superbly maintained and shower/toilet block is extremely clean and modern. We bought firewood and the fire pit from
The site and sat outside every night after a BBQ. Excellent footpaths from the site as it backs onto a nature reserve. Less than 10 mins to the Fox pub, discount card for drinks available at the site. Well worth it as the deben valley pub chain are fantastic pubs but the most expensive pint of aspalls we've had. Still well worth it and food great. Sister pub The Maybush also a great location by the river.
All in all we couldn't fault a single thing at this site. Great location near Woodbridge very helpful owners excellent amenities and a friendly, relaxing atmosphere.
Would most definitely stay again and a very reasonable price.
