 Return visit, after our 1st caravan trip last year.
Showers have been re-painted & the 'above head-height' cleaning has improved greatly. Plenty of washing-up facilities for campers. Shop has a better stock of the basics, but includes ice-creams now.
Lovely long-weekend away. Campsite was full, but not at all noisy & very quiet after 1030pm.
Will be re-booking again.

Stayed for our 1st caravan trip away, for a 3 night break. Site laid out on a large 'field' with a track running around. Tourers are generally pitched on the outside & tents on the inside. Pitch was good, backed on to open forest.
We had slight problems reversing our van onto the pitch (1st time reversing) & a couple of 'tenters' kindly helped with a push!
Site was clean & tidy, showers/toilets cleaned twice a day (bit more cleaning about head-height would be good, for those who are not spider-friendly). Showers were 50p & lasted a good 3mins. Lots of washing-up facilities for tents. Site shop holds the basics & warden was very helpful.
Recommended for a 'family' feel, as lots of kids. Plenty of dog-walking areas, as you're right in the forest. Already booked again for next year.

Great location next to Rendlesham forest, feels like proper woodland camping. Site is split in to 2 parts - the main site with organised pitches and then an overspill area. We turned up and pitched (as told) but then the next morning had to be moved to overspill area, which to be honest we preferred; great big pines and picnic tables.
Toilet block was well maintained, there is no play area but with so much woodland kids can just run off and explore.
The grass is quite tired and dry, but not really a problem for pitching your tent (you don't feel guilty about your groundsheet!) After pitching I realised it was where I did my Duke of Edinburgh many years ago, and so area is quite heavily used.
Not overpriced, but also not brilliant value for money due to still having to pay for a shower.

We made our first family camping trip here. The campsite was full but didn't seem over run. I think that their full is set at a sensible capacity. The site is sheltered by the forest and there is plenty of room between pitches.
There were lots of children there which was good for our two (4and5) and the general atmosphere was family orientated and friendly. There was noise after midnight but not wild parties more of a hubbub and first kids were up and about by seven, just glad they weren't ours! Nice but high timber climbing frame.
Showers are 50p for about five minutes they are warm but not very powerful. Loos and showers seemed clean.
Liked that you can hire a picnic table for £1 per night.
Recommend that you take bikes if you can.
Would definitely go back we had a relaxing weekend and all the children looked after themselves.

Excellent campsite if you want to get away from it. A great location in the beautiful forest, so ideal for walking/cycling activities. The site has fine facilities, including a shop. We weren't charged any extra for using the hook-up. For a pound a day you can hire picnic benches, which is a great idea. Nice and large pitches, too. Will certainly be coming here again.

11-13 August. Very very wet weather! Stayed here twice before this year. Considering the inclement conditions the toilets were as clean as on other visits. Did not visit the showers on this occasion but know there is a charge for 3 mins of water. Alot of people were packing up early to come home. This visit though, was the noisiest in terms of children screaming and playing till way after midnight, that I've known here before.
Lots of tents mixed in with the caravans and lots of space in between for cars, gazebo's, awnings etc. A lovely playground for children and safe road for kids on the bikes.
Newspapers are delivered Sat and Sun mornings by a couple driving round the site in their car, only a 7p surcharge.
All in all a lovely site but the weather makes it as there is no clubhouse or restaurant / pub adjacent.

I stayed here in august ,the kids love this site as we have been before. It's a very busy site which means it gets a bit noisy, but the forest makes up for it with lots of walks and cycling routes which seem to go on forever, but be careful not to get lost .The tents get put in the middle so it can look like a rock festival there is that many.
The shop is a bit hit and miss but keeps some good items i,e bread milk etc. they also stock ,toys ,fishing creels and nets at good prices.
Dogs are welcome and we were made very welcome. The only thing that I found annoying turbo swing ball outside my caravan ,good game but not at 9.30 at night as its to noisy ,maybe games would be better in the middle of the site where there are fewer campers. Anyway all in all a very good site well run as the owner is on site and will help with anything,also wooden pick nick tables are on hire ,we hope to go again next year all being well.

General impression of this site is very favourable. As most other reviewers have pointed out, facilities are quite basic, but we had no problems. Make sure you have a good supply of 50p coins, though!
The people who run the place are very nice and extremely helpful. Shop stocks most essentials. Picnic table hire at £1.00 per day is a bargain!
The bike hire guy is based in Snape, and you need to ring him to reserve a bike for the next day, or pop over to his kiosk in the forest car park. He only brings enough bikes for the advance bookings. Cannot recommend the forest bike routes enough, but make sure you pick up a map and take a compass, as diversions are common because it's a working forest. A terrific site for kids and a beautiful setting.

Visited this site with my family during may bank holiday on recommendations. Level site where you camp around the edge of large field. Children loved the woods where dens already built for them to add to. Wonderful cycle routes around and about. Pitches rather close together and toilets and showers were a bit of a let down. Showers were out of action for most of the weekend and even then when they did work hot for 1st min, cold for the next 3 min and then a trickle for the last min. Plus you had to pay for the experience! They were also not cleaned properly (woman mopping floor with dirty bucket of water around the centre of the floor of shower block, once a day) and run out of soap in the toilets by the sun (yuk!). Not enough facilities really for bank holiday w/e. Very noisy at night due to close proximity to other tents.
would return again but not a bank holiday weekend. By the time we left, the place looked quite tranquil!

Just got back from a weekend here, site not too bad, set in lovely woodlands, the only downside is the kids running riot until late at night and pitches are all jumbled up.
Nearby orford has a wonderful castle and nice pubs. Shop is stocked with essentials and staff helpful.
