What customers say
Stonham Barns offers a wide range of activities for all ages, including an owl sanctuary, crazy golf, and fishing. Reviewers praised the friendly and helpful staff, spacious pitches, and generally clean facilities. However, multiple guests noted that the toilet and shower blocks are dated and require urgent refurbishment, with some experiencing issues with cleanliness and hot water. Despite these facility concerns, many visitors enjoyed their stay and would return, appreciating the variety of on-site entertainment and amenities.

Do not go
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked Everything. Closed closet toilets and showers to us and blamed it on the electrical issues. Closed the bar due to travellers on site and closed the shop. Toilets were digusting and so so dirty. Every time I complained I was told there’s no where to complain as we are in administration. Won’t get money back and it was an awful experience

If updated and given more attention to facilities we would go back
Electric grass pitch
Liked Big field to walk the dog, lovely lakes for fishing,
Disliked The cafe on site was shocking with rude staff talking about customers and there children, flies around the kitchen which happens to be by the toilets, food not edible and not willing to make it better just blamed us for ordering it. Toilet blocks were filthy from some of the people on site we also had not much sleep from how loud it was at night.

Shit
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Mini golf was good staff friendly and helpful, carboot when it was there.
Disliked The toilet containers were constantly wrecked even with a cleaner once a day and ended up being locked for the last 2 days of the holiday so had to use ones that were either out of order or covered in wee and poo, its basically a travellers site where they do what they want even past 12pm when quiet time is 10/10:30pm, no staff around or able to help with any problems when trying to complain they all send you to different people not help security are rubbish do nothing, pubs shut and fenced off half time shops OK but shuts too early at 5, seems like there's lots included but there's not. The whole site by the end of the week just seemed like it was on lock down

Electric grass pitch
Liked Camping with tent --- our first stay - a really good site - loads of room on back field - the little village and sports bar all walking distance - would go back
Disliked The electric hook up you seemed to be very close to each other -- lucky i had a second extension to my lead - so we moved to the back field and run the extension - other wise would of be put in between two camper vans
The usual with toilets and showers - they need a bit of updating - and get messy when well used - the lady came round once in morning and early evening to clean

Electric grass pitch
Liked Playground was ok for the children.
Disliked As soon as you drive into the site your met with storage area for caravans most of them we old green/dirty not something you want to be greeted straight away with.
The electric hook ups are way too close to each other. Packed in like sardines. Your ok if your not electric they had a whole massive field to pitch up on.
Toilets and showers need updating massively also a really good clean. Most of the clientele didn’t know how to look/ use them well.
The washing up station didn’t even have hot water and pretty sure they haven’t been cleaned either for a long time. Again clientele left them disgusting as well.
When we arrived on the Friday evening no electric, the electric also went off Saturday morning at 7 we left the site at 8:15 still wasn’t on. According to a gentleman at the reception it happens a lot when they have a loads of people staying. So maybe not have some many or update your electrics to be able to cope with that many people.
Groups of people having music up loud singing shouting even kids playing football until early hours of the morning two nights in a row when it states the campsite is quiet from 10pm
People driving to the playground to tell there kids to go back to there caravans with there caravans were 1min away from the playground. So unsafe
The site could be great if it actually looked after properly and had a little bit of money spent on it.

Summary: great place for the day wouldn’t recommend staying overnight
Electric grass pitch
Liked Stonham Barns has lots of activities to keep you busy, the owl sanctuary, crazy golf, football golf all of which the children and adults really enjoyed. Adults enjoyed a couple of rounds of golf and trip to legends sports bar, very clean, staff friendly.
Disliked The campsite: unfortunately there were groups of people who were noisy, played music into early hours of the morning, drove their cars around the site, shouting, swearing and were able to continue this night after night. There were also groups of children with same behaviours meaning our children were not able to go off and play and ride their bikes without an adult present as they were being sworn at.
The campsite is huge and the two open toilet blocks were not enough to manage the number of people. Showers were cold, toilets were filthy.
