 Great campsite, huge pitches, the facilities are great and nice and clean.
Suzie is as laid back as ever and always has time to chat to you.
Leiston has a good selection of take always and the Indian restaurant called Cinnamon is excellent, if you fancy a drink The Engineer is a good traditional pub and very reasonably priced.
Further afield Aldeburgh is a nice little seaside town.
Snaps Maltings is a pleasant place to walk along the footpath alongside the river Alde then return for coffee and cake.
Overall this campsite is one of my favourites as it is relaxed and quiet even when busy.

We’ve just spent two nights at Diamond House CL at Fiskerton near Lincoln.
Lovely site with EHU. Beautiful shower rooms and toilet.
Bus stop right outside to take you to Lincoln.
A short lane to the canal tow path where you can cycle about five miles right into Lincoln. Friendly welcome.
Would thoroughly recommend this site.

We were looking for a good, basic site (meaning we had no need for extras like shop / entertainment etc) and we’re very pleased with Applefields.
Good location - near Aldeburgh and Orford Ness and with other places to visit not too far away. If you go, do investigate Orford, it’s fascinating!
Site was clean and very quiet. Loved the fact it was near silent after 10. Great views of stars!
Shower / loo set up seemed a bit odd when we arrived (3 rooms with loo + shower and two separate loos) but I only had to wait for a shower once… maybe because the site was pretty empty. Actually more civilised than lots of showers together in one area and lots of loos in the other!
Level pitches.
We appreciated the kettle when we ran out of gas and there was also a microwave; toaster; fridge; washing machine; dryer and massive freezer - fantastic for people without their own equipment.
Great Co-op about 0. 6 miles away. We got good pizza in Leiston too.
About 2. 5 miles to Sizewell beach. (Not the prettiest! Interesting though. )
Susan was as laid back as everyone said in previous reviews although, personally, I’d feel safer paying a deposit! The site was good value.
Good washing up facilities.
Tiniest thing… showers were perfectly adequate although, as with many campsites, pressure could have been better. The buckets to clean shower floors are well appreciated but it would be nice to have more water in so one can clean more effectively. A squeegee thing also is nice to have so one can dry the floor after cleaning.
We will be back… and definitely recommend Applefields!

Absolutely wonderful site, fabulous pitch sizes, decent showers/toilets, even a kennel if you want to put your dog somewhere for a few hours.
Owner susie was lovely, and so very trusting as you pay for nothing until you leave, if it wasn't a 5 hour drive away I'd be back every month !
Our only problem was ANTS we were over run with them--not owners fault at all-- but ant powder and spray sorted it for us :)
Leiston is central to many lovely beaches and towns/villages.
Lots to do in surrounding areas, and a lovely pub and shops a 5 min walk away.

Good facilities and customer service,
Better value for money than other spots in the area.
Short walk into Leiston for shops etc. Thank you Susan!

Such a amazing campsite, plenty of showers and toilets.
Love the little extras like microwave toaster kettle and washing machine.
I can’t believe how hard Susan works, such a lovely lady, always has time for you.
I definitely would give it 10/10

It was my first time as a solo traveller but I instantly felt at home in the campsite.
The owner was very friendly and I felt that nothing was too much trouble. It was casual and laid back on site.
There was all the facilities I needed, Freezer that worked well for my ice blocks, There was a little kitchen with a kettle, fridge and the freezer, microwave, washing machine. There was even a lounge!
Tents were given plenty of space and it was a very reasonable price for my stay. Leiston town centre was easily to walk too, Aldeburgh with it's famous fish and chip shop, Thorpeness is certainly worth a visit, I like Dunwich to swim and it is near RSPB Minsmere, all of those are very close with a car.
Suffolk is easy to drive around I find, and Appletree campsite is in the idea place to do it.
If I could change anything at the campsite I would add a toilet closer to the best field for tents, (I might be giving away my age here).
The campsite was very clean which is not easy to achieve in August.
I will go back to the campsite when I go back to Suffolk.

A wonderful campsite with a range of areas including lovely tucked away spots amongst the apple trees.
Excellent facilities and very well run and looked after.
Would definitely recommend it.

Great campsite with relaxed vibe and very good facilities.
Liked it a lot and would definitely stay here again.
There are all kinds of shops just up the road in Leiston but it would be good to have an honesty shop on site with essentials like shower gel, tooth paste and the like. Yes, I left my shower gel at home!

I stayed at Applefields as a base while exploring the area as a cyclist.
I found the site to be ideal, reasonably close to the town but nice and quiet. I had a lovely spot for my one man tent along with a wooden picnic bench.
The owner, Susan and her husband, are lovely people and were welcoming and really helpful.
The facilities are great with plenty of loos and showers as well as a kitchen with a kettle, toaster and microwave. There is also a washing machine available as well as a rotary clothesline.
As my stay coincided with the record breaking temperatures in July, I was glad of the shade provided by the family room where you can sit in comfortable chairs or use the tables. Also, there are plenty of sockets for phone charging.
The majority of visitors while I was there were in motor homes but there was plenty of room for people to have sufficient space. I spoke to several people who come to Applefields regularly from as far afield as Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
I was also encouraged to meet two German cycle tourers that had chosen Applefields for one of their stopping points.
Really liked this campsite and enjoyed riding to beautiful Thorniness, bustling Aldeburgh and Dunwich with its popular fish and chip shop.
Just a note: Leiston only has one main shop for groceries and is rather expensive whereas more choice is available in nearby Saxmundham.
