 There was an excellent selection of space available, and it’s a really beautiful location.
We enjoyed the relaxed management and to be able to have a campfire each night to keep the midges away.
There was always hot water, in fact the showers we a bit too hot sometimes!
The toilets blocks were cleaned but would have benefitted from deeper cleaning more often.

Really great site.
Large and varied. Plots are unallocated and have no limit on size. Trees and streams add to the experience.
Excellent shop, cheap and stocked up.
Toilets and showers were very good and clean.

We opted this site for the fishing availability due to our older children being interested. However no fish! River is also stagnant and the area absolutely stinks.
Not really anything for the teens to do on site and not enough area for a game of footie or rounders etc.
We went into Framlingham and found an online walking tour aimed at teens with clues wtf and was quite good. Managed to find a lake ten mins away so that appeased the older ones.
Lots of large groups although not overly noisy the shower and toilets were not big enough to cope with the numbers on site. Having to queue for the toilets and then a freezing cold shower didn’t go down well for us. Only one female only toilet rest are shared plus a urinal block but was still queuing for the loo! Plenty of loo roll but the users didn’t keep the areas clean with loo roll over the floor and messy sinks for washing up, just used to a bit more respect for the next person.
Bag of logs was 6quid not to bad. And electric was cheap. We prefer more space to roam and play so we wouldn’t be back again.

Amazing campsite!
Our favourite by far! Been coming here for years now and we love it, the kids love it, and I think pretty much any camper would love it!
Great facilities, lovely little shop, friendly and accommodating staff, all in a peaceful and tranquil setting!
Perfect. So many memories have been made here. Thanks Orchard Campsite!

No tv with freesat as advertised. Site is basic, needs upgrading. And cleaning properly.
However its down to us to make the holiday and we did enjoy ourselves - if you want zero fuss then this is the perfect site.
Found the shop prices expensive with no prices which concerned me
Pricing for camping is as other sites so no issue there at all
The kids area is tired

Lovely grounds.
Showers, toilets and shop available. Shared fridge, kettle, sink and toaster.
Shame the river was not available to swim in.
Trees available to climb.
Lack of activities for teenagers. Only one swing available so queuing for this was long. Great price for electricity.

We had a great time camping at The Orchard! Beautiful campsite with lots of different areas to pitch up.
We loved that there weren't pitch numbers and that you could choose which area you liked and take up the space you needed to.
We went with some friends and their children so it was great to pick an area and know it wasn't going to become crowded and that the children had room to play games and explore.
The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the toilet and shower block area which could do with a bit of an update and freshen up.
It was very wet on one of the days so I appreciate it gets wet and muddy easier but there were several occasions where they were quite messy.

Good choice of pitches with trees for shade/shelter.
Handy shop which was open until 23:00.
Toilet and shower block was quite large so no queueing.
Easy to visit Aldeburgh and Orford nearby.

Excellent friendly site. Nothing is too much trouble.
The shop is fairly priced and they have the ‘essentials’ so you don’t need to make a trip out to the local supermarket.
The pitches are well spaced out so you have an element of privacy and don’t disturb others.

Lovely location and very laid back site.
Would definitely recommend and will return again for another stay.
The fact that you can have a camp fire on the ground is fantastic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Campsite. There was some noise from the road but this didn’t spoil our experience.
The owners were welcoming and the site was perfect for what we needed. We particularly enjoyed having a camp fire and doing pond dipping with the children.
The campsite shop supplied the wood and nets at a reasonable price. We really appreciated the tree cover on this hot weekend.
Such a lovely atmosphere at Orchard Campsite.

The campsite is beautiful, we camped down by the river - there was a lovely open space for the children to play. We also realised we’d camped very far from the toilets which was a little tricky with the children.
However I’m somewhat grateful as the toilets and showers were very grotty. We were really disappointed, they were smelly, and the floor was really dirty and wet with tissue and mess all over the floor. Some had no toilet paper or no soap one had a broken seat. I used the same toilet as it was the only with with paper, soap and a toilet seat, and it had clearly not been cleaned for at least 24 hours. The showers were no better, the unisex ones were really grim, the ladies only were mildly better - however no door on one side, which limited privacy, (which is a concern especially with children) The shower curtains were really dirty and broken, not enough hooks and the little stools were also dirty and broken.
There was also issues with the water pressure - so you had to chance it, out of the group of us there were 12 adults and only 2 people managed a decent shower - the rest of us had a dribble of water coming out, some had no water at all. The campsite had a ready made printed sign apologising for the water pressure - which leads me to believe this isn’t a one off occurrence.
This is my only complaint about the site.
The space is beautiful, the staff were friendly and helpful, we had a big group and they gave us a lovely space.
The shop was great, had everything you needed and more, a huge selection of ice-creams too! You could park right next to your pitch which was great and very helpful, the washing up spaces were good, there’s also a kettle and microwave to use.
All the other campers seemed really friendly and respectful.

Great site. Friendly welcome and very laid back.
Facilities good and the shop was open most of the time.
The site is quiet and was just what we were looking for.
Sutton Hoo near by is worth a visit.
We will definitely be back!
