 Such a gem for a stay in the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
I took my children & grandchildren and we all loved the easy access to a lovely playground, walks & a nearby pub for a lunch when camp cooking got too much.
The toilets & showers are kept clean & the water is hot.
The pitches are generous so you don't feel too near other people. My youngest grand daughter adored the animals on Claire's guided tour.
The only downside (for those who might care about such things), is the mobile phone signal being a bit unreliable.
Lots of lovely places to visit nearby too.
Arrangements / customer service excellent with an update sent just before we arrived about unscheduled changes which was very useful.

Super site.
Quiet and friendly, with a nice Pub a short walk away.
Good showers and facilities.
Fire pits possible and wood sold too.
James who runs it is friendly and it’s great for Suffolk sights and beaches.

Loved how rural the site is.
Having the animals around is lovely.
Owner friendly and helpful.
Toilet & shower facilities were very clean and modern.
Pub nearby which does food.
Beaches within a reasonable drive.

Amazing couple of nights. Very clean and tidy.
The kids loved the animals especially chocolate and marshmallow the chickens.
It was our first camping adventure with young children and we will definitely be returning here again.

We went to Shottisham for 2 nights travelling with family (kids age 8 and 12) and friends. Sadly the cafe and pizza delivery were shut but will review the rest of the facilities.
The site is large and clean- fantastic toilet and showers with plenty of space to get changed. Perfect for families.
The space was quiet set off the road so no noise from traffic. In the evening we got to go animal petting which was brilliant.
There is a park which is lovely. Only thing for us was being slightly further away so was hard to keep a close eye. Bit they loved the freedom of heading off, and climbing trees.
Fires are allowed. Sadly no music so it was quiet from 9pm sat around the fire.
Would most definitely stay again but request the site closer to the park.
Not much in Shottisham. The pub was lovely. But Felixstowe is a short drive away.

Excellent relaxed, well kept site.
Very peaceful, as its a long way from a main road.
The main reason I chose the site was its location in the village, of a lovely pub, 5 minutes walk away, providing good food and drink with a smile.

St Margaret's at Shottisham is located a short distance from the village centre and the excellent pub "The Sorrel Horse".
The site is divided into 3 fields, mostly flat with varying degrees of shelter. All the pitches are grass, some with electric and the cater for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. I did not see any children during my stay.
Every individual item has a charge, which made turning up in a car twice as expensive as on a bike.
The toilets and showers are very nice but the pot wash was exposed to the driving wind and rain we experienced for the first part of the week. The ground drains well but was overcome by the torrential downpour and I had to move my tent, or sleep in a puddle.
Shottisham village is situated berween Sutton Hoo and Bawdsey, each a half hour gentle cycle ride away. The scenic spots of Ramsholt and Waldringfield make good days out.
I had to cut short my stay due to a fall I suffered on the site caused by stumbling in a small hole that was covered by horizontal grass.

This is a lovely, laid-back campsite on the edge of the village of Shottisham in South East Suffolk.
It’s basically a couple of fields in the middle of the owners’ small holding, so you can expect to see chickens wandering around the tents from time to time!
The facilities are a couple of shower/toilet/washing up blocks, one new one older, but both spotlessly clean and well-maintained.
There was a mix of families with children and couples there when we visited at the start of the school summer holidays, but all was quiet after 10pm.
The owner, James, maintains a lowkey presence, but he’s there if you need him and the house is just next door.
The site is surrounded by the small holding & countryside. It’s level, well kept and peaceful.
The pub - community owned - is 5 minutes’ walk.
We will definitely be going back.

We had the most wonderful break here. I cannot speak highly enough of the site.
It is laid out perfectly so you have your own space and shade available, the shower and toilet blocks were always kept clean and never ran out of loo roll. The one time I saw someone had inconsiderately left a shower muddy it was clean again very quickly!
Very considerate fellow campers, a playground off the campsite, a pub five minutes walk away. The animal feeding on Saturday night was lovely and there was even an alpaca born on the day we went!
James was very self deprecating doing the feeding without Claire but he did a brilliant job. I have set a diary reminder to book again for next summer on January 1st.

Great site in lovely quiet location. Good sized, level pitches. Very handy for the local villages and coast.
Great pub within easy walking distance and plenty of others nearby.
New facilities very clean and spacious.
Unfortunately cafe and other facilities were closed while we stayed due to staffing issues.
Room for improvement:
1. No contact with any staff member at any time during our stay. No welcome, no presence no acknowledgment that we were there. Could have been in a field anywhere
2. You get charged for every little thing with no flexibility and no chance of any refund in any circumstances (and yet we were informed of lack of site facilities by email the day before arrival).
Sadly quite different from our experiences touring the continent with the caravan.

Such a lovely relaxed campsite. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. Lovely to wake up to the sounds of nature, as well as chickens, goats, pigs and Alpacas!
You can purchase some local foodstuff on site and if you are there on a Saturday, have a tour of the animals for free.
Would highly recommend you stay here, great centre for local attractions as well such as Sutton Hoo, Suffolk Punch shire horse centre and Woodbridge.
Very clean toilet block and showers, cafe on site but not open at the moment due to illness, however there is a lovely pub, The Sorrel Horse 100 mtrs away.

Great place to stay, the facilities were very good.
Good level grassy site with a pub just down the road and fridges and freezer on site to use for your food.
Toilet and shower blocks are fully tiled and are kept very clean.
Site is very close to Sutton Hoo, Rendlesham Forest and Suffolk coastal towns.
I enjoyed my stay very much and will go back for sure.

This was a lovely clean website, met up with friends, came with my dog (who was free) the added bonus of being able to have a firepit was great.
Lovely walks and a beautiful pub nearby,
Definitely would recommend ☺️
Could do with a cold tap at the sinks,
But overall a lovely site.

A really nice vibe. Lovely spacious and spotless campsite with lovely spacious and spotless facilities.
Easy to book, easy to find and a friendly welcome.
Ideal for Sutton Hoo and the Suffolk coast. Divided into several areas with free-range chickens, lots of public footpaths and free WiFi.
Fire-pits looked lovely though we didn’t use one.
We’re not used to unisex toilets/showers but they were immaculate!

First time at this site, first time staying in Suffolk. Lovely site very quiet, even with the small holding. Which is great for the children.
Two shower blocks, one much more modern but only has four showers. So at busy times that could be difficult. Although the older block also has two showers, always clean.
Unfortunately the cafe was closed due to illness which could be long term ? So wishing them a speedy recovery !
Good dog walking on site & plenty of play areas for children. Have to watch the dog as the chickens sometimes roam about the tents & caravans !
Some areas are a little run down, but this doesn’t detract from the main site. So much bird song to wake up too, would definitely come again to this site.
Just a short walk to the village pub, who excepts dogs. No shop in the village, so a drive a few miles up the road.
The church is between the pub & site so you will hear the bells on a Sunday !
We have another 3nights left, so hope it stays sunny & dry !?
