  • Busy, well-equipped site surrounded by the open Suffolk countryside
  • Half an hour’s drive from Sutton Hoo; 45 minutes from the coast
  • Shop, restaurant, miniature golf, owl sanctuary and play area on site
Looking for a Suffolk spot with lots of open space? The dog-friendly Stonham Barns Holiday Park might hit the sweet spot. Well-placed for the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside and coast, this place is equal parts relaxing and active. The latter is very much helped by the fact that the site is part of the Stonham Barns Golf Park site, which has a whole host of family-friendly (and quite frankly fabulous) attractions… There’s a pirate-themed miniature golf course, a sensory room and a funfair with rides and bumper cars, which should all prove a hit with pint-sized guests. No need to go hunting in the trees: the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary on site has over 80 owls and daily flying displays featuring birds of prey. Catch a comedy or tribute act at the Aspal Theatre, sojourn at the fishing lakes or get creative at the pottery painting studio, all of which are on site. Among these attractions are handy foodie places too. There’s a tearoom if you’re craving an afternoon tea and cake, a restaurant powered by local produce and a village shop selling essential food fare. These pair well with the bar and clubhouse, which has sports screens and celebrity evenings, and a shopping village full of niche independent shops. Along with a showground hosting weekly events like car or dog shows and a Sunday car boot fair, these are all one to two minutes’ walk from the pitches. On the immediate site, however, the facilities include showers, toilets, a washing-up area, disabled facilities, wifi, a kids’ play area and spaces for kids to run around and let off steam. There's also a post office on site which provides cash back and other banking services.

What customers say

This big, bustling spot's got heaps to do for families – shops, rides, sports! Sites are usually roomy & flat, staff are often praised as friendly. Downsides? Toilets/showers are a bit dated & not always spotless, and some found it noisy & pricey for what's on offer.

Liked Nice clean campsite and family friendly. Toilet and shower block were clean every morning and staff were very friendly. There is lots to do there to keep little ones entertained and places to eat so no need to cook.Lots of water points so you never have to walk far. Everywhere was dog friendly so we could take him at meal times and in the shops there. The owl sanctuary even had kennels outside you could use for free so you don't have to leave them behind in the motorhome.

Disliked Pitches were close together with no gap between the neighbours.
No where to empty waste water from our motorhome.

Liked Loved the lady at reception very helpful & friendly. Walked us to our pitch and as husband is disabled checked to ensure all was ok. The staff in the shop & bar were great very friendly and prices in both were very reasonable.Site was lovely motorhome & caravan pitches were well lit and fairly level . Nice shops with friendly owners quite a few were to let.

Disliked Came from Cornwall especially to see the Vintage Coach & Bus show. Unfortunately we were unable to get in due to the card machine not working was advised to go to post office who declined to give cash back on credit cards & building society bank cards which meant we & others people were not able to go very disappointed as there was no other way to get cash. Toilets leaked and in dire need of repairing or replacing the showers looked ok but nowhere to leave dry clothes.
It would be a good idea to arrange for a cash point machine or for the pub , shop to give cashback in case of cardmachine failure. Camping field not lit up so very dark which could cause issues if needing the toilet during the night. Don't think we will return unless there is some updating of the site. Missed bootsale as not given any info as to location or times.

Local attractions

With all the attractions on site, it might be a while till you look outwards in search of entertainment. However, when you do, the Suffolk coastline is splendidly within reach, as the site is on the A1120 tourist road. Thorpeness (50 minutes' drive), Aldeburgh (45 minutes) Southwold (50 minutes) deliver on walks, watersports and simple seaside amusements. This is also an excellent place to channel your inner historian and deep dive into the past. Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) is a Norman castle with a walk across the 10-metre-high walls. Sutton Hoo (half an hour) is just as spectacular, with two medieval cemeteries where a ship with Anglo-Saxon pieces was found. Perhaps pretty walks and eating out in restored Victorian buildings next? Snape Maltings (40 minutes) on the river Alde is a splendid setting for strolls and cycles, whether around the riverside loop or joining the Suffolk Coast Cycle Route 41. Take in the scenery on a river boat or sip on something caffeinated in the many independent eating venues in the Victorian buildings.
