 Would like to thank Sharon for going out of her way for me, really appreciated. I went to look for her on last day to thank her personally but didn’t find her.
The campsite was great, would definitely return if staying around that area.
Toilets and showers were open and kept clean. Wipes, hand wash and antibacterial gel was provided. They’ve made it covid friendly with lots of signs to remind what you must do.

Willowmere Is a nice clean and tidy site. The loos and showers are kept very clean, water is good and hot.
The only negative is that the pitches are too close together.

The owners here are very friendly and you are not overfaced with the usual barrage of rules.
It is well run, has clean facilities, flat pitches, is sensibly priced, and has a pond for fishing. (This does need more spaces around it though, as there was only one which gets busy)
There are lovely walks opposite, and it is well placed to visit Sudbury, Lavenham and Colchester.
It is a great site for a short Suffolk break in pretty countryside

A nice quiet little site. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would camp there again, however, there were a few negatives.
Although our young kids liked the site and made some friends, there is very little to keep them entertained.
Also, there were no power points in the Ladies for a hairdryer, which would be a useful addition.

This could be a lovely site, however we were left very disappointed. When we arrived we were shown to our pitch and I couldn't believe how small it was. Our medium size 5 man tent would only fit on by overlapping the guy ropes with the tent next door. There was a caravan on the other side, and once their car arrived back we felt really squashed in between a tent and a car. Our car didn't fit to the side of the tent but had to go in front of the tent.
To put this into perspective, when I was trying to get to sleep I realised that I was lying far closer to the people in the next tent than I was to my children in my own tent! Unfortunately they were quite noisy at night, and as they had a very young child with them there was a lot of noise very early.
It is such a shame that we were told we had to pitch there as there were some lovely spacious pitches available where there would have been room for us. We were so close to the family in the next door tent that we were almost sitting with them outside the tent. There was also a dog running loose constantly that actually came into our tent on two occasions.
We had booked for two nights but for the first time ever we left after one night. I had assumed that the owners would have made the effort to be in touch to find out why we had left early, but I've heard nothing from them.

Lovely little campsite. Pitches a bit small but other than that, really good.
Toilets and shower block had lots of sanistiser, anti-bac wipes in every toilet and anti-bac hand wash so couldn't be any more prepared.
Lovely cycle route along to Long Melford and a few little pubs along the main road to visit all within walking distance.
We will definitely return!

Attractive site with large pond. Lovely big shower cubicles very new and clean. We cycled easily into Sudbury. Maybe it was because it rained a bit but Sudbury didn't appeal to me that much.
The Gainsborough Museum was closed (due to Coronavirus) which was disappointing. We ate at the nearby Kings Head which was good.
Second day we took the campervan to Cavendish which was 8. 5 miles away. The van is 6 metres long and we were able to park it ok by the village green.
We did a 6 mile circular walk to Clare another nice little town. Very pleasant walk. Stopped for lunch at Calre Cottage.

A lovely quiet site, the owners find you in their golf cart to give you a quick introduction then leave you to it. We chose a nice place away from the toilets but realised after the wifi was not working in that part.
Would go back again for sure. Our only dislike was there are no basins inside the toilet cubicles so have to walk to the shower to wash hands. A hand wash was in the cubicle but it was greasy & not great. We used hand sanitiser after using the facilities just to be safe.
We loved the country park just over the road and the Lakes a short drive away are worth a visit for bird & insect lovers.

Nice friendly and very well maintained site, level grass piches and immaculate toilet block with social distancing sensibly in place but not over the top.
Good little lake which was great to introduce my 9 yr old son to fishing - he caught 3 nice fish in an hour.
River a short walk, pubs nearby and shops a few min drive in Sudbury.
All in all a great little one night break, thanks.

I stayed here while visiting my granddaughter in Sudbury. As a mature solo camper I was made very welcome and was well looked after.
Everything has already been said. This is an excellent small site.
There are some lovely walks in the meadows by the river round Sudbury and excellent places to eat.
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Kentwell and The Gainsborough House.

We have stayed at Willowmere Caravan Park for the last five summers. The caravan park is always well maintained, has friendly, helpful staff and competitive rates including hook up electricity.
The park is easy to locate, is situated back from the road with grassed pitches and a centre pitch for tents. It is an idyllic, quiet site that is also suitable for children. There are no determined playing areas but adequate room for the children to play and ride bikes.
The showers and toilets are excellent. They are checked at intervals throughout the day to ensure they are maintained in their spotlessly clean and fresh condition. There is a separate equally spotless, washing up area with laundry washing facilities.
Once settled onto your pitch, which depending on availability, you are allowed to choose, you are left to get on with your holiday, without interruption, unless that is, you require information or assistance, which is always available from the friendly owners and staff.

We stayed here for a weekend in June (not bank hol) and I agree with the other positive reviews - reasonably priced, clean and very good facilities, set back from road, in the countryside although only a few minutes into Sudbury, quiet and no road noise.
We took our two dogs and three sons and as such, we tend to do a fair amount of walking and exploring on foot. Even though the site is surrounded on two sides by Cornard Mere, the only way out of the campsite to walk is through the front gate. This is onto the B1508 which does not have a pavement. The traffic whistles past at what feels like top speed (it's supposed to be a 30 mph limit but this doesn't appear to be adhered to by most motorists) and when you have children and dogs to watch it's rather unnerving.
Once you have run the gauntlet with the traffic and found yourself a quiet road or footpath it is a lovely area. The side road to the north of the site, Blackhouse Lane, takes you to a children's play area to the rear of Sudbury RUFC and also to Great Cornard Country Park, which is a real gem, with wooded areas and open pasture crisscrossed with paths. Great for exploring and walking the dog.
It's a shame that there is no access to Cornard Mere from the site, which you could then cross to link in with the public footpath which passes along the mere's southern edge, and on to the country park. It was nettle season when we stayed, and we couldn't see much of the mere at all.
The site itself has its own duck pond with water fowl, and also has the odd feathered visitors from the mere. I was concerned the dogs would take too keen an interest in these but the weekend passed without event.
The pitches are a little on the small side but it was only half occupied when we were there so not a problem. There are picnic tables and benches (the kind you get in beer gardens) in the central tent area, which I considered a great idea if you're tenting it. The managers were polite and helpful, and there's info leaflets in the booking in office. We didn't explore Sudbury itself (30 degrees C, too hot for that!) but did go swimming at Kingfisher Leisure Centre in town (Saturday and Sunday afternoons - waves and flumes!)
I don't think we'll be revisiting this site solely for the reason of the lack of pavement at the front, which is a shame as it scores so highly on other aspects. If this wouldn't worry you I would definitely recommend this site.
