 This campsite is brilliant since it is run by people who go camping themselves and know what makes a campsite run well. The fields are divided up into small areas and generous reserved pitches with plenty of space.
One thing we really appreciated was on Friday evening the owners provide a BBQ (chargeable but fair price), for people who arrive and just want to get their tents up and eat (brilliant idea, wish more campsites would do this).
Lots of open space, and two covered barns one with picnic benches and one full of toys/games such as table-tennis tables, and children's ride-on toys.
Facilities are very good, with very clean shower block with plenty of hot water which are all free. Again, its all about the detail, such as plenty of hooks in the showers, and stools for changing shoes etc.

We just spent 10 very happy days on our first and definitely not our last visit to the Croft Campsite. Guy and Maria are superb hosts, very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble, they really care about their guests.
We felt very sad as we left feeling like we were leaving friends. They both work extremely hard to make sure your visit is a pleasant one. The toilet and shower facilities are spotless with constant hot water, hand wash, loo roll etc Good indoor washing up sinks and washer/dryer that can be used for a small charge.
The site does not have a shop but emergency items such a Gaz for lights can be purchased at reception and there is a good co-op in Laxfield a short drive away which is open until 10 every night. The Friday night BBQ ( which was for over 90 people that week) charged at a nominal fee is excellent and served in the undercover barn in all weathers. The barn has fridges and freezers for the use of campers.
The site is situated in a lovely spot not far from many areas of interest or the coast with large pitches that are not overcrowded with plenty of free space for children to play safely.
This is traditional camping at it's best.

This was our first time camping and with 2 toddlers. Great site very welcoming hosts. Immaculate toilets and showers. Our pitch was lovely. As it was our first time Maria gave us a corner pitch which we loved. The pit for fire was the best as once we got our children to sleep we enjoyed sitting in front of fire. As newbies the fact there was a fridge and freezer on site really helped. Can't wait to go again.

Stayed for my second weekend in 12 months at The Croft Campsite. One year on it is even better than last year, the site has matured beautifully and the facilities have been improved even further! Maria and Guy are fabulous hosts they really do make you feel welcome. I cannot praise the Croft highly enough, I love the site and the local area. We will all be back soon!

Being a very fussy camper when it comes to facilities; I cannot fault these spotless toilet and shower blocks. It was a busy bank holiday week-end but we never had to queue and they were always kept clean. The owners Guy and Maria are obviously very passionate about their business and make you feel so welcome and will go out of their way to do anything to help. There is loads of space between the tents. A play barn with table tennis and some ride on toys for the little ones. An excellent bbq on Friday nights, very good value. Croissants available every day and bacon sandwiches on a Sunday. What more can you ask for? A nice walk through the fields to the next village which did take us longer than anticipated! but we did get to the pub eventually! Close to Halesworth a lovely town, and Southwold for the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at the croft campsite, the owners were really friendly. We went as a group of 4 tents & had plenty on space around us for the kids to play games. You can hire a fire pit, and there is a play barn where the kids can go and play (a few ride on, table tennis, table football) which was nice. They do a bbq on a Friday night which was delicious & well worth the money, especially after just pitching a tent, the last thing we wanted to do was start cooking!
Lastly, the toilet & shower facilities were great, clean & constantly maintained, loo roll topped up etc. We went on a bank holiday, so a busy time, but the owners did not cram in as many people as possible, so we still had the space & did not have to wait for the facilities at all. A great stay!

Pre booked this trip on the internet for two pitches 4 adults and two dogs. When we arrived we were met by Maria, what a lovely lady, she showed as around and to our pitch. All pitches are very spacious we have a large tent and an awning which fitted with lot of space left for our vehicle as well. First time my wife has camped so all was great so far. We had a BBQ with Maria and Guy on Fri Night which was really good value and well cooked by Guy. The toilet block was very clean heated and well stocked with toilet paper and soap.
We ordered croissants for Sat breakfast and bacon sandwiches
For Sunday which were delicious.
The owners Guy and Maria are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.
I thought that I would never get my wife to come camping but she can't wait to come back to this great site.
Thank you Guy and Maria for making our stay so special.

Fantastic stay at this friendly campsite. Excellent new facilities block, with hot water and heated flooring! Check-in and out were smooth and easy and the rent-able fire pits were a lovely bonus. Plenty of friendly local advice.
Thank you!

We stayed a night at the Croft Campsite and we very impressed with everything. It's very tidy and well run in every department. Maria and Guy are very friendly and helpful and went out their way to make sure we had all we needed. The facilities are all very new and in exceptional condition making the basics a real pleasure. We will definitely return and stay again and recommend it to everyone! Well done guys keep up the good work!

Another great weekend at the Croft. Again received a warm welcome from the owners, Guy and Maria.
A BBQ is offered on Friday evenings with a choice of meat and salads. Ideal after a long drive and erecting the tent on the generous sized pitches.
The showers/toilets were continuously cleaned throughout our stay and I appreciate the socket for my hairdryer. The washing up facilities were also very clean.
Although there are no pitches with electricity at the moment we had the use of fridge and freezer in the cartlodge. This lodge also has picnic tables and could be used if raining. For the children there are table tennis tables and plenty of space away from the tents to play.
The site is ideally located for both the countryside and the coast.
We will definitely return.

We've just returned from a fabulous camping holiday spent at The Croft which is a brand new site opened Summer 2016 and as a result has lovely modern facilities which enhanced our experience. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners Guy and Maria, who welcomed us to their site with open hours and a big smile!
The pitches are larger than many sites we've stayed at which is great - particularly if you have children and pup tents etc. The toilet block and showers are brand new and were cleaned to an immaculately high standard by Maria.
The showers are lovely and powerful and are free so no panicking to try and find 20pences etc. My only tip here would be for the ladies - to avoid wet hair, take a shower cap as the shower head angle isn't adjustable.
The pot washing facilities are also kept spotlessly clean with large sinks and plenty of hot water.
The barn is set up with table tennis tables which is great for those rainy days although we were really lucky and only had one wet day during our stay - the advantage of the South East. Then the HIGHLIGHT of our stay were the two fabulous evening spent with Maria and Guy and their lovely family in the open barn.
The first night was a trial run of making homemade pizzas cooked on the fabulous clay cob oven - this was a night of delicious food with my husband deciding it is THE BEST pizza he has ever tasted. And he's fussy! Downed with a few glasses of wine (bring your own. ) and then be prepared to laugh the night away - particularly if you are fortunate to be joined by Maria's mum and dad who are great characters! My husband literally had tears streaming down his face with laughter.
On Friday evening, we joined the Croft Barbecue night - fabulous burgers, chicken, sausages and salad cooked beautifully by Guy on their great barbecue and another great night of fun and laughter and tasty food! The chicken was cooked to perfection as Guy has clearly being practicing hard throughout the summer months!
On our remaining evenings, we were able to enjoy the clear starlit sky whilst keeping cosy around the fire pits which you can hire for the week - fabulous for those toasted marshmallows (which are available to purchase low cost at the Reception along with a few other 'essentials' - just in case)
The reception area is really welcoming with tea coffee and juice available which I have to say was very welcome after our 5 hour journey from Manchester prior to pitching our tent. There are lots of leaflets providing information about what to do in the area and Maria and Guy are also a great source of information about some great places to visit locally.
Maria and Guy have clearly worked really hard to establish a great new campsite and I'm really looking forward to returning and will definitely be encouraging the rest of our family to join us as it is a brilliant family site. As the trees/bushes that they have planted between pitches become established over the next couple of years, this will be another great feature of the site providing that extra bit of privacy between the pitches.
We were sorry to leave and will definitely be returning. Maria hinted that she may be arranging a 'slow gin' making weekend which definitely sounds like fun and I'll be keeping an eye out for!

We stayed at the Croft Campsite for two nights, Friday and Saturday. We loved every minute of our stay. The owners Guy and Maria were so kind and helpful and made us feel very welcome. They do a BBQ on Friday nights which was absolutely delicious, and we really appreciated it as it meant we could pitch up and get sorted out without having to worry about cooking that evening! It also gave us a chance to meet some of the other campers, which made for a really nice atmosphere. The fire pits which you can hire at the site are great, important for us as we always look for a campsite where you are allowed to have a fire.
One thing we were really struck by was the generous size of the pitches and the little line of trees to separate each pitch from the next. We felt like we had loads of room, unlike some other campsites we've stayed at where we've felt like everyone is on top of each other. In the middle of each of the camping fields there was a big open space, and there is also a games field where there are no pitches at all - so loads of room for kids to play. We don't have kids ourselves but the campsite is very child friendly, with an undercover area with ping pong tables in case of rain.
The facilities are all newly installed, very modern and clean. The washing up room is definitely the best one I've seen on a campsite. Toilets and showers are also excellent and there is enough for the number of pitches on the site so that you don't end up queueing.
The surrounding area is gorgeous and we found an absolutely beautiful beach nearby that wasn't overcrowded at all.
We highly recommend this campsite and we will definitely be returning as soon as we can! Thank you for a lovely stay.

With so many impersonal and disappointing campsites around, the Croft was a breath of fresh air. The owners, Guy and Maria, have pitched (excuse the pun) their customer service perfectly, achieving the fine balance of being at hand and available but not overbearing. They certainly know what campers need, offering a friday night BBQ to relieve the pressure of arriving late, setting up, cooking, managing kids etc. The BBQ was delicious and very reasonably priced, served in a lovely old coach house giving a chance to chat to other campers.
The site is extremely child friendly and safe - minimal traffic, a lovely big field for games of footie or frisbee and table tennis and table football in a large barn. There are also two fridges, a great luxury for people such like us who stay in tents! Another lovely touch is the fire pit service - a pit, lighters, wood for two nights and even marshmallows all delivered in a wheelbarrow for a great price! The fires adds loads of atmosphere in the evening, gently glowing around the site under the suffolk stars.
The pitches are beautifully manicured, generously sized and the fact there are only 30 pitches adds to the feeling of space and privacy if you want it. The shower block is great - clean and not over busy. Lovely to have an indoor washing up room too as I hate washing up at 8pm under a lean-to in my coat if it is cold as seems to be the norm at most sites.
Nearby are loads of beautiful and interesting places - Framlingham castle, Southwold, Dunwich (the free museum is great fun), Walberswick, Orford and so on. Very local is Laxfield with great pubs, shops etc. The reception area has a lot of info on things to do if you need guidance. Guy and maria themselves will always take the time to point you in the right direction also.
The Croft is new this season but already feels established. With another year or two of growth, the planting around pitches will add even more character. A chat with the owners revealed some plans for investing in more amenities and I can only see it improving further.
A really lovely stay and we'll be returning regularly.

Just returned from a long weekend. The site is really well positioned for all the local attractions. The owners are lovely and really helpful. We didn't participate but they do BBQ on a Friday and breakfasts on Sunday! New showers and toilets lovely flat pitches.
Pitches are roomy and it doesn't feel crammed even though it was full. Nice respectful campers meant no noise at night apart from chatter. Bliss
They even have a WHOLE field for the kids to play in.
We will be going back.

The croft is one of those little gems that you feel you want to keep to yourself, but that wouldn't be fair on the friendly and welcoming owners, would it?
The site has good sized pitches on nice level ground, excellent toilet and shower facilities, and the rural location ensures a nice dark sky, but is only a short drive to the coast and local towns. Use as a base from which to explore Suffolk's beautiful coast and country, or just pitch up, relax and toast a marshmallow or six on your campfire. There's not many sites that I rate as worth a return visit, but the croft definitely is.
