 Lovely open campsite with varied landscape and areas to camp - there are some areas with deep water near the pond, but options to camp well away from this with younger children.
Love that the pitch size isn’t set which is fab with our large bell tent. Good shop on site which stays open until late - very useful for chilled items and drinks.
Electric points round the seating areas so we easily spent 4 nights without electric.
Will certainly be visiting again!

A long awaited return to this lovely site that has plenty of character as does the site owner!
Very welcoming venue, great fun for the tiddlywinks and chilled out for the adults.
Highly recommended 😎

The Web page is enticing. There are many good reviews and the site has an excellent green field for children to play in. Showers are fine too. But. After that, the external areas were scruffy, in need of a good brushing and cleaning and so many cobwebs on the walls and in the corners.
Don't mention the toilet waste disposal!
The owners could take this from a good site to a great site with more attention to detail. This I discussed with the owner's son but he seemed far from happy and asked me to leave his office!
I was only trying to be constructive🤔

We stayed for two wonderful nights with another couple on an adjoining tent site,
The site is beautiful, diverse with ponds, trees and a river,
Well organised by cheerful staff and the site shop is perfection.
Will definitely return and regret staying only two nights!

Very relaxing campsite with all basic amenities. Toilet facilities cleaned on a regular basis!
Only Concerned by cars driving through middle of campsite field (due to deep mud on the drive which was unavoidable due to recent rainfalls)
Kids were playing with ratchets footballs etc which they had to remove regularly!
Ut overall fabulous stay

A relaxed site with fire pits and stream - we loved them both equally!
We were happy to return again after Summer 2020 and enjoyed the showers this time with Covid procedures in place.
Thank you to the owners for a fabulous holiday with our family.

As always, Alan and his team made us feel welcome at this open & relaxed site. Lovely to have open fires, and choice of where to pitch.
Well stocked shop, and short, cross-field, walk to W Market shops (large CO-OP, lovely butchers, excellent fish and chips to name a few).
Facilities all fine, and 4 sunny days to boot. 20 mins to Aldburgh, 40 mins to Southwold.
Perfect. Will be back!

This was a fantastic stay even though we had rain an our last night and day.
The facilities are fantastic, though the ladies showers could do with a place to put toiletry bags etc.
Our pitch was right next to the river where the kids had fun swimming and swinging from the trees. We were super impressed with the shop, opening every day from early till late and fully stocked with EVERYTHING you will ever need and more.
Even better, it is decently priced so you don't feel like it is daylight robbery.
Will definitely be back!

Really laid back environment. It felt safe and comfortable. Beautiful scenery, very peaceful.
Nice to have a dip in the freezing river and our children (5&7) loved pond dipping and finding newts and fish.
Only draw backs; the facilities are a little tired and the park consists of 2 swings (at first a bit of a disappointment for our eldest).
Would definitely book again :)

Loved the space and the fact there are no set pitch sizes, great for children with bikes and it is a nice setting.
Wickham market itself is lovely, fab local Indian and fish and chip shop, co op a short walk away and next to it is a large playing field and children's park with zip wire.
Sadly we will not be returning as the toilets and showers really do let the site down. They are in desperate need of a refurb. The toilets although were cleaned, it seems were not cleaned enough and so looked dirty much of the time. The sink in each toilet was not big enough to wash your hands in and there was a constant leak from somewhere so water and wet toilet paper all over the floors.
The showers for the ladies were not good, they had 3, each with a push button to activate every 10 seconds or so if that. They are advertised as power showers, they are not! There is also no where to place your clothes and towels and they have old dirty shower curtains in them. Only one of the showers had a couple of pegs in it. The mens seemed a little better but with both if all were being used the water just dribbled.
There was also nowhere to brush your teeth so we had to do this outside of our tent with a cup of water.
The shop is advertised as having artisean bread etc, it does not - it has happy shopper items throughout. Whether covid has impacted fresh items being delivered I do not know but the website advertises the shop as a very different shop to the one you actually use.
There are also only 3 sinks to wash up in so it can get quite busy.
It really is a shame as if the facilities were as good and clean as other sites we have camped on we would rate this site and return. The owners really do need to think about those in tents etc who do need the toilets and showers as we were not alone in our disappointment. We are not fussy but we do expect a certain level of cleaniess.
We were recommended by someone who has a caravan so they had not used the facilities, which explains a lot.

Lovely site by the river and next to the woods.
Nice and quiet at night as well. Having a fire was a real boon and the fire pits are generously-sized and plentiful.
The only drawback we found was that the tap water tasted a little 'odd' due to the chemicals used to clean it. We used bottled words instead.

Campsite itself was great with a well stocked shop, friendly staff and beautiful spacious pitches. Campfires were lovely!
The downside was the toilet and shower facilities weren't the greatest. Despite what appeared to be frequent cleaning they were often pretty messy and the number of toilets / showers (around half a dozen) seemed pretty small for the campsite at full capacity.
One of the two female showers didn't have any stall or hooks to put your clothes on, whilst I found that the mens showers were only useable if you were the only one showering, otherwise the water was but a trickle.
Finally there wasn't any dedicated place to brush your teeth with the choices being the sinks for washing up (which was discouraged) or a warm tap in the toilet.
It's a shame as the site itself is lovely and well located in easy reach of some of the best places in Suffolk.
