 We are a couple in our 50's who decided to have a weekend away camping and picked this park.
Due to location it is best to have own transport.
Staff friendly and willing to help whenever they can.
The site is well kept divided into sections.
The toilet block is modern and kept clean, with
Washing up Facilities, it has a laundry area. There is a fridge/freezer for everyone to use (without charge). We were able to keep own iceblocks frozen.
We walked to the Fox Pub and had lunch there the food was excellent.
We would recommend this site to anyone and we will be going back again.

So off we went 6 adults and 5 children all under the age of 10. This was the first camping trip for most of the pack so we wanted it to be a good experience.
From the moment we booked they were friendly and helpful. We found it easy to find, however the brother law weren't impressed we kept giving the wrong postcode and it took them half a day to arrive from Essex.
First impression was that the park was clean and they had good security which put our minds at rest with small children.
The shower block and toilets are together with a washing up sinks around the side which was always clean. I understand the park has been developing over the last year so everything is new and of good quality. Perhaps more showers would be an advantage however did not have to queue long and they were decent showers and bigger than normal so the children were able to come in together. They do have a disabled toilets/shower and they did offer us to use them when we had all the kids together.
One of the reasons we booked this was because they had a park. The park is small but again new and quality equipment with a fence around it for safety.
We booked late and being a big group and being from Essex I was concerned about the noise we would make. We stayed in the main touring field. The ground was perfect – flat and grassy, allowing easy pitching and a great area to play. We hired fire pits for the weekend and they delivery our wood etc for the evening. They did suggest for next time to ask for the field at the back next to the nature park as that field is designed for large groups however they did not come and complain about the noise. They did remind us each night of the time and to be respectful and turn the music down or off due to the time.
The maintenance guy was really friendly and on one of the days he brought the tractor down to our tents to allow the children to sit in it and have pictures which they really enjoyed.
At the back of the site there is a path you can walk down to get easy access to the pub. We did go there on the way back from the beach however we weren’t met with a warm welcome. The men had no tops or sleeveless tops on and we were told we couldn’t go inside showing tops of arms! We did go back the following day for afternoon dinner, we did ring and book a couple of tables however again we felt we weren’t made to feel welcome. To be honest it was like they had never seen children before. The food was expensive and to be honest we would not recommend it if you have children with you.
There is a stock car racing about 5 miles away and this was a brilliant night out, does get busy so do not leave it too late to get there.
Overall we had a lovely weekend and will be returning next year – if they have us back!

It was our first family camping holiday, with 3 children and a dog. We picked the site because the pictures of the toilet facilities looked good and the website said the pitches were well drained. With all the bad weather the well drained part was an important selling point.
When we got to the campsite the site staff were very friendly and helpful they showed us to our pitch we explained we were first time campers and they said they would be happy to help if we got into any difficulties with our tent.
The pitch size was good plenty of room for our 8 man tent, car and space to sit out. The area had shade for the dog it was just perfect!
We had forgotten our fridge blocks but that was no trouble as there was a fridge for anyone to use at no charge!
The pub was a lovely short walk away and was really pretty; it was also very friendly and sold great food. There was a small playground but my son didn’t need it as he soon made friends and played Frisbee with the other children.
The toilets and shower facilities were very clean/modern and there was plenty of hot water. The wash up area had hot and was clean too. We called on the way back from the shops to book a fire pit and when we got back it had been delivered to our pitch!
We borrowed blocks for a bbq, the service was fantastic we felt really looked after, staff and the boss always around to help and easy to identify from their shirts.
We used our English Heritage cards at Framlingham Castle and Orford so there was some great free days out nearby!Steadings have a lovely site, its well looked after and the friendly support when we needed it made our first experience a great one,
We will definitely go camping again! re visit this one at some point and confidently recommend it to any of our friends!

I would like to say firstly a big thank you to Damon and his great team for putting up with us at the weekend. There was a group of 14 of us (mixed bunch of family's and single guys) housed into 6 tents.
The first thing we all commented on was just how wonderfully clean, tidy and well presented this campsite is. We all stayed in the back field where they have designated firepits, I would so highly recommend this field as it is a great feature watching fire burning whilst camping and supping beer.
Even after the 11pm curfew to keep the noise down we unknowingly were probably a little too loud still, the wardens then came over and politely reminded us of the time but still encouraged us to enjoy ourselves.
This campsite really did tick all boxes and we would highly recommend to all genres of people.
So looking forward to booking the next trip to Steadings Park, if they'll have us.

It was our first visit to this site and we will definitely be returning. We arrived at 8pm and were met by the night warden, a very friendly chap that gave us all the information we needed.
We were pitched in the corner of the smaller touring field. It was a very generous sized pitch and posts at other side clearly marked the boundaries to us and our neighbours. There was plenty of room for our Montana 6, car and a Quecha tarp.
The pitches are around the perimeter only so plenty of room for the children to run around in the middle. The site is flat and the grass well drained.
The site was full by the end of the Friday but still felt spacious and was very quiet at night. The site welcomes fire pits (one of the reasons we chose the site) and if you don't have your own you can hire one from them including a supply of wood.
The play area was fenced off at 8pm and re-opened at 9am and everyone was respectful of this and the no noise after 11pm rule.
The facilities are new and modern. The showers are powerful and hot. The washing up area was covered and clean and plenty of hot water.
Definitely recommend crabbing at Bawdsey Quay.
Lots of shops and places to eat nearby. Tesco Extra 10 mins up the road.
Looking forward to returning in the future.

Stayed at Steadings Park for 3 nights for the second weekend of the school summer holidays. My friend and I had booked two adjoining pitches in the small, enclosed tent field after reading excellent reviews and we were not disappointed.
Everything was great - friendly welcome, our pitch was near to the toilet block and small play area. We were escorted to our pitch, provided with a helpful fact sheet and each time we saw Debbie and the wardens they were friendly and helpful.
The site is flat, sheltered and accessible. Ideal for families in the smaller, enclosed field or for groups in the bottom, large open field.
There is a sloping area of rough grass past the open camping field where ball games can be played - not ideal for a professional game of football but ideal for a quick kick about or flying kites, frisbees etc.
Small shop with basics - milk, bread, ice creams etc. Toilet block is very modern with lots of hot water and plentiful loo roll and handwash.
The washing up area is also clean and with a roof overhang to keep you dry. Laundry room with a fridge freezer and books and games to borrow.
We enjoyed a couple of walks from the site - ideal for children or dog walkers and there is a nice walk to the local pub too. We will hopefully return soon - highly recommended.

What a lovely site a group of friend stayed for 3 nights last weekend, we had the sheltered tent field it was perfect as we all had small children.
On arrival the staff were very friendly and as our dog has diabetes they let us store his insulin in their own fridge.
The toilet and showers were lovely and clean if I was to make one suggestion it be for a shelf to be put in the shower to put toiletries on and maybe another hook but apart from that we had a lovely stay and have booked for next year.
The local pub The Fox is amazing the food was fantastic well worth a visit.

We visited Steadings Park with friend and kids in two large tents and a gazebo. Stayed on the lower field with EHU. This is a fantastic site. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. You are taken to your pitches which were of a very generous size.
The ground is flat with great drainage. Even at the start of the school holidays we found the site to be not too crowded.
The toilet block is the best we have ever used at a campsite in the UK. Well designed and very clean. No coin operated showers just plenty of hot water.
The fire pits on the lower fields were great fun and we had a roaring fire both nights with logs brought to you by the wardens.
All in all a great site and would recommend to anyone.

What a fantastic site! We stayed here for 2 nights recently and to be honest having seen the weather forecast the only reason that we went was because we were meeting friends there.
The welcome that we got on arrival was warm and friendly and they had reserved us a pitch next to our friends, exactly as requested.
The sheltered tent field is exactly that and despite strong winds and heavy rain overnight, we had a very comfortable night. I was particularly impressed with how well drained the site was because the following morning the ground was all firm underfoot.
The showers and toilets are first class and the shop on site covers the basics well. On the Saturday evening the skies cleared and we borrowed one of the firepits and enjoyed toasting marshmallows.
The site is in a lovely area and the pub in the village nearby looks lovely. Sadly, because of the weather we didn't get to enjoy it. We are looking forward to the walk through the woods and a drink there next time we visit.
Despite the dreadful weather, we were able to keep the children entertained at the near by indoor play centre and there is a bowling ally and cinema nearby as well.
Overall a fantastic weekend. We will be back.

Immaculate well kept campsite! Had a one night stay here in our tent on 14th July, and it was brilliant. Wardens and owners very friendly people and we were shown to pitch on arrival as well as being given a useful info sheet and £5 off voucher for a pub meal. Grass pitch, well maintained and lovely views.
Toilets and shower block always very clean and a modern design. Always had loo roll in them, and nice loo roll too! Hand wash provided and showers clean and hot with speedy dyson hand drier.
Bit of a walk to toilet block if staying on back field, nearest would be the small tent field. Great to be able to have fire pit or campfire in designated areas, lovely idea. Quite a small playarea, but keeps kids happy, open 9am-8pm, a cone and rope closes it off out of these hours.
The fox pub was a short walk away through the nature reserve and we had a lovely meal there. Would advise booking beforehand though as it can get very busy. Can recommended the sticky lamb cutlets!
Will definitely go back to this site very soon, a little gem! This is now on my favourite list. 10 out of 10 for everything!

Just got back from a 4 day camping trip, 28th june - 1st July. Wow what can we say great campsite. We had a choice of a few huge flat pitches for our tent. Very clean toilets and showers 5 star. The site wardens were first class, they ensured everything was top class, they are 2 very friendly people and did anything they could to ensure our stay was a great one. The shop on site was very handy in the warm weather for ice creams, thankyou for a great few relaxing days.

Very neat, maturing site on the edge of a nature reserve, nice tidy entrance. Ample pitches are separated by wooden markers, but the site is split into 4 areas and feels quite cosy. We were made very welcome and shown to our designated pitch.
Toilet/shower block is new and well appointed, but didn't seem to have any shaver points. It was cleaned twice a day and was quite adequate even at busy times.
Shop at reception only stocked basic items. Kids play area is quite small, but well maintained. Camping field has areas for open fires that were a nice touch.
Lovely local pub, The Fox, food excellent, but not cheap. Supposed to be 10min walk thro' the woods, but more like 15-20 for an OAP and a 7year old. Lots of good paths for walking the dog.
Had a good day out at Jimmy's Farm which is only a few miles away. Very friendly, comfortable site that we would not hesitate to visit again.

Stayed here over Jubilee weekend with the two kids and another family of four. Weather was atrocious. Great welcome on arrival and taken to our pitch.
Pitch was perfect - flat, sheltered and very clean. Toilet shower blocks were great and loads of hot water. Fabulous walk from the site, playground and ball games field kept the kids happy and plenty of fresh eggs from the shop.
Would have preferred pack up time slightly later than 11am but altogether a really nice site which we would highly recommend.

We stayed here for 1 night to allow new campers to see if they liked it. Everybody loved it. We will be coming back again soon. The site is lovely. Very clean and tidy. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This really is a lovely site. Thanks again for letting us stay.
We did not go out and about as we were only there for the one night, but knowing there is a pub within walking distance makes this a great site. We were the only ones camping but we loved it. The play park, only small but the kids loved it.
