Date of Visit: December 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Dave2300 5 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a lovely 3 night stay at Sycamore Park. Very clean site with spotless toilets and showers. Even with the heavy rain it was still easy to access your pitch even though they are not hard standing. Very peaceful even with being located next to a busy road. Ideal for the seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold or the quiet beaches of Sizewell and Dunwich. Minsmere RSPB just down the road and a local pub serving good food around the corner.

 Spent last week under canvas in Sycamore Park. The campsite is small(20 pitches), very well maintained, and in a lovely central location. The booking and reception system are excellent, and the staff helpful. The area abounds with interesting places, be it birdwatching(minsmere 3 miles), history and archaeology(Dunwich, Sutton Hoo), or just the local towns(Southwold, Aldeborough, Saxmundham). The site is dog friendly, and the facilities are modern and clean. There is no shop, however Leiston is only 15 minutes away, and has a large Co-op, fish and chip shops, and other take aways. Parking in the area is cheap, with the exception of RSPB and National Trust sites. We will be back. Our visit was in September, 2015, with tent.

 We stayed here for 3 nights. We arrived on the Frida. Y the site was lovely. Very clean the toilets and showers was spotless. The site was also spotless. It was a very relaxing break. We thought the road was going to be a little noisy but it wasn't. We would have like to have seen the owners of the site they never came all the time we were there, as think it would have been nice for them to make sure everything was okay with the people using there site. My friend that we were with mentioned that a security gate would have been a bonus as it would give you peace of mind knowing that you would feel more secure, I tend to agree with her on that one

 We stayed here for 5 nights and would definitely stay again.

The site is peaceful and has a very smart toilet and shower block. The washing up sinks are outside these but are under cover, a light comes on automatically when approached after dusk.

Although the owners aren't on site we didn't find this to be a problem, although I can understand previous suggestions of perhaps an electronic barrier being installed to give peace of mind.

It's just a short stroll to The Lion Inn, a nice country pub with a new landlord, Tom, who runs it with entusiasm and pride. We don't tend to eat out when camping but the food looked good. My husband was very happy to have a choice of 5 real ales there which were all well kept.

Another pub well worth a visit is The Eels Foot Inn at East Bridge.

The Crown Inn at Westleton however is over priced charging £7 just for a glass of wine!

We stayed at the site due to it's proximity to Minsmere RSPB reserve, where we spent most of our time, but can also recommend Southwold and Orford for a visit.

There are plenty of shops at Leiston, including a Co-op, 5 minutes drive away.

My only down on this site is the fact there is only one toilet/shower per gender which I feel would be inadequate at busy times. Also, a blind is needed at the window to the showers rather than just frosted glass. We mentioned this to the owner and he said he'd been made aware and was going to be rectifying it. Hence 9/10.

 For:-

Beautifully maintained site

Very Clean Toilets and Shower facilities

Pub (under new ownership) 5 minutes walk - Beer kept well, didn't have food there, as menu choice not to my liking (sausage & mash, shank of lamb etc. Not real chips. ) They allowed kids in - even crying youngsters!

'Wild about Birds' - a pet/bird shop two minutes walk for milk/teabags and chocolate etc.

A few good pubs with good food in 2-3 miles - try the White Horse at Westerham(2 miles) or Eels Foot Inn at Eastbridge(2miles) or if you are rich, then its the Bell at Saxmundan(4 miles) or Fish & Chips at Aldeburgh (6 miles)

Saxmundan has large Tesco and Waitrose and Costa- but better still a back street breakfast café real VFM

AGAINST

MAIN ST (Theberton) is 30 miles an hour, but everyone does at least 50. Are there any police in Suffolk? The road is so busy and noisy - it never stops but gets worse at peak times. And there is no pavement between the campsite and pub! Walk behind the hedge opposite 'wild about birds' and through the churchyard and you may get to the pub alive.

Pigeons. The Cooing is unbelievable, from sunrise to sunset - I think 'wild about Birds' either feed them or keep them. It's alright if you live in a double glazed house but in a tent or campervan you definitely need earplugs.

Why is PIGEON PIE not on any of the pub menus?

 Stayed for four weeks. Perfectly sited, excellent facilities. Immaculately maintained. Many nearby attractions. Loved it.

Minsmere 3 miles (Spring Nature Watch) Aldeburgh famous fish & chips.

Too many to list

Brought the dog, plenty of public footpaths for exercising oneself and dog. Beach 2-3 miles. No dogs May to Sept. Lovely County.

Reviewer: Dede1 1 review from this member

 This is a nice new site. Owners are very nice. It was very clean when we arrived but as the site got full. It was not maintained.

There is 1 toilet and 1 shower per gender which is a shame as the camp had quite a few tents and camper vans. So toilet roll was limited.

The lack of security was a worry as there's no one in residence.

But nice if you use your own facilities in your van. 


Date of Visit: April 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Robbodobbo 2 reviews from this member

 As has been mentioned, this is a lovely clean site with modern facilities. It has 20 pitches and in my view a few on the small size. We arrived with no one around but was advised to ring the number displayed in the caravan/office. Unfortunately we couldn't get a signal but luckily the friendly owner suddenly arrived to explain what's what.

Lots to do and see around the area.

The beach was around a mile away with lovely walks. The cafe against the beach had won some awards but we didn't eat there. Modern toilets against the cafe. In Leiston there was a huge coop for groceries Etc. The first couple of days we were there only 2 vans were on site and over the Easter weekend there was just 6 pitches taken, unbelievable for Easter?

I feel a little mean not giving 10 stars but there were a few things that I was concerned about, mainly security. As the owners live a mile down the road, (which isn't a problem) I thought there might have been an electronic barrier In use? My concerns were raised when on the second morning there was some 'travellers' drove onto the site, sat there for a few seconds and drove off. This was also a concern for a fellow camper who also saw them. At that point there were only two of us on the site and with both of us out during the day and nobody else around, it could have been easy for anyone to break into the vans without being disturbed.

There is a pub down the road about 10 mins walk (the Lion I think?) if you're thinking of eating there then my advice is to give it a miss unless you like everything microwaved. The microwave was pinging 10 to the dozen! I had kebabs and it was awful, rock hard. 
Management response: regarding travellers driving on to Sycamore Park we would just like to point out that their have never had any issues with travellers on our site, on the day in question, the vehicle seen driving around the site was mine, I drive around regularly for security and to check the condition of the grass etc. I now have Sycamore Park logos on my truck to avoid any further confusion.

In regards to security, we do not live on site, however, we work very closely with our neighbour who lives next to the entrance and helps us to run the site and keeps an eye on things when we are not there.

The local pub The Lion Inn is now under new ownership.

 We have just spent 3 nights at this site, which is close to many beautiful beaches and lovely walks. The site is new and although it was Easter weekend there were only a handful of caravans and motorhomes. I suspect next year it will be fully booked! The pitches are spacious. The owners have planted shrubs which, when fully grown, will provide even more privacy. The toilets and showers are very modern with under floor heating. There are a few pubs within walking distance. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back to this site. 


Date of Visit: March 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: BiscuitVW 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 4 nights at Sycamore Park during March when other sites in the area are not yet open.

This site was only completed in 2013, with all new toilet and shower facilities, plus convenient dishwashing sinks.

Beautifully peaceful, the pitches are of a good size for tourers, and have been neatly planted with surrounding shrubs which will come on well during this first full year. Good, thick grass.

Good location for the surrounding cycling routes. Minsmere RSPB, Dunwich Heath, Warbleswick to the north; Aldeburgh and the lovely ride to Snape Maltings and Orford Ness to the south.
