 We have just returned home after three nights at this site. It is potentially very spacious. We received a warm welcome.
Toilets were open, but not showers because of COVID. This did not worry us because we have our own facilities. Water taps well located, as is rubbish disposal.
Wonderful walks in the forest, close to lots of places of interest. The sites regulations state that they operate a six metre rule for siting vans, however this was not adhered to. I spoke to Leigh about my concerns re: safety, he was very polite and listened. When I returned from my walk with the dog, the units I was concerned about had been re-sited, which was reassuring. We went out for a while, on our return a motor home was sited next to us again, not observing the space rule. Very disappointing.
A very nice site, lovely atmosphere but the siting of camping units causes me some concern. I would like to visit again, but this possibly prevents me from booking again, which is sad.

What a lovely campsite, everything lovely and clean and well appointed, showers were great, never had to wait.
Lovely owners and a nice welcome when we got there.
Would certainly recommend to anyone and would use again if in the area.

Well managed site. Very clean toilet and washroom facilities.
Always someone nearby for advice.
Good location. Easy access to the forest and Anglo saxon village.

The site was very clean and well looked after. Just a basic site and adequate for a couple nights.
A good base for getting out and about visiting different places. Lots of dog walks through the forest. And bike rides are good as well

This is a large adult only site spread over 4 fields, first 3 fields, consist of 40 pitches with electric hook up and water taps, 4th field no EHU, mainly tents. Sandy soil so well drained, even after storm Francis.
Amenities building consists of 3 unisex toilets with no handwash basin, sanitiser on wall, 1 disabled toilet, separate gents and ladies showers, 3 push button showers, which did not stay on for long, 2 washbasins, hand dryer and hairdryer in each with sanitiser spray available. 3 unisex push button showers with basins are located at rear of building, toilets were clean but hand dryers and hairdryer were not, no sign of deep cleaning taking place, considering coronavirus.
There are 3 outside pot wash sinks, 1 attached to amenities block and 2 to the side, both with sanitiser spray, also a laundry room, which was locked at the time of our visit.
No reception area, once through gate, parked up and Leigh came along in his buggy, explained pitch where and how you like, alright when site not full but over bank holiday when site was busy, 6m rule between units was not observed, pitches were being numbered as we left, so this might change. Jane came along once set up with information on local attractions, both Jane and Leigh very friendly and were available if any problems.
The site has an equestrian centre attached, but is fenced off. The site is located in Kings Forest, so plenty of walks for dogs and cyclists, Anglo Saxon village across the road, no local shops so transport is required, supermarkets 15-30 mins away.

Excellent site large pitches, leigh and Jane keep an eye out on the site and for people arriving.
No reception.
Toilets and showers kept clean and tidy. Walk for miles around Kingsforest and west stow country park both adjacent to the site. Good wifi. Loads of wildlife.
Clear skies, be back soon.

Lovely site, extremely helpful owners, excellent facilities, spotlessly clean throughout our stay.
So quiet and peaceful with Kings Forest attached to the site for beautiful woodland walks.
Would definitely stay again.

Our first time on an adult only site, as the kids don't want to come with us any more. It was great to have the peace and quiet. The site owners leave you to it but drive around every evening in their golf cart. Winnie their dog keeps an eye on the dog behaviour and looks very superior in the passenger seat!
The site was very reasonable. We paid £15 per night for 2 adults and a tent without electricity.
I think most of the info on the toilet block has already been covered. However, as a non EHU, it was a long walk there and back. You are always in the furthest field. It did get busy on the weekends and I wonder why they didn't put toilets into the 3 new shower rooms. Only having 4 toilets meant some queuing.
There are 3 washing up sinks and even a dog wash.
No facility for freezing ice packs which was a pity. Jane offered to do it but as they are so busy with the horses, there was never anybody in reception to ask. I never saw the reception open.
On the non EHU field you can pitch where you like. It was busy both weekends but Mon-Thurs was very quiet. On our last night people put a camper van almost in our tent, which was annoying.
There is some road noise and also the jet planes. We were woken up just after 1am with one that sounded like it almost hit us, it was so loud! Luckily that was a one off.
The location is great. Lovely walks in the forest and we saw a deer. We went across the road a couple of times to the Country Park to see the Anglo Saxon village and walk around the lake. There are also bird hides there. Bury St Edmunds has a lovely park around the ruined Cathedral.
I have never seen so many butterflies!
