  • Adults-only family-run site in a quiet part of rural Suffolk
  • A 10-minute drive to Woodbridge; half an hour to Aldeburgh
  • Dog-friendly site with easy access from the A12 and heated bathrooms
Back in 2000, Michael Allen opened up Moat Barn Caravan Park to welcome guests to his lovely patch of Suffolk countryside. Location, facilities and a friendly welcome meant that it quickly became a popular place, with many customers returning time and again. Fast forward to the present day and Michael’s son James has taken the reins, aiming to continue the legacy by looking after the needs of customers old and new. The ownership may have (slightly) changed, but the setup remains the same – it’s a peaceful adults-only site with spacious pitches on closely mown grass and access to well-maintained facilities. The main facilities here are in a heated bathroom block, which has handy hairdryers and shaver plugs as well as toilets and showers; washing-up sinks and a chemical disposal point are also provided. It’s a relaxed and friendly site but you’ll be asked to observe a couple of rules: namely keeping the noise down after 9.30pm, keeping dogs on leads and making sure barbecues are raised off the ground to avoid damaging the grass. This is a sweet Suffolk location in a quiet rural area but with easy access to nearby attractions (partly as it’s only a couple of miles from the A12). Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive) is your nearest town, but the area is packed with things to see and do, and some great places to eat. Handily, James is always happy to help out with recommendations, perhaps including a couple of local secrets that visitors may not find on their own…

Liked: Pretty site and James, the owner was welcoming and helpful.
It's on a great, fairly flat cycle route and there are many walks nearby.

Disliked: It'll be great once a planned wifi booster is added.

Liked: Everything was truly wonderful at this pitch super clean facilities, quite neighbours and friendly host ! I can’t express enough how clean the toilets and showers were and the hot water worked perfectly!!! Also in a really pretty area if going in the spring surrounded by beautiful flower fields. Not to far from the coast (Dunwich) was a lovely day out - found out about dunwich through the small info table in the kitchen!

Disliked: Not a bad thing to say !

Powered grass site (large)

Liked: Well manicured, level and spacious pitches in a quiet location.
Pitches are clearly identified and allocated before arrival avoiding confusion.
Clean facilities, regularly serviced/looked after by the owner.
Plenty of walking/cycling opportunities, whether locally or further afield into Woodbridge.

Disliked: Only one gripe…the owner’s five children running around the pitches on the campsite spoiling the quiet!

Powered grass site

Liked: A lovely site in a lovely rural setting but with close links to the coast and Ipswich. I stayed for 3 nights. The facilities are lovely and clean and well maintained and the shower has lots of lovely hot water. I had an issue with my campervan and James pointed me in the right direction of someone to help. When that didn’t work he did his best to try and fix it for me. He checked on me daily to ensure everything was good. It was a lovely peaceful site, just what I needed for the Easter BH. Thank you

Liked: The size of the large and level pitches, how clean the site was and how friendly James the owner was. He’s just taken over and reopened this year and I am sure will do well. It’s a long walk to the nearest pub (2+ miles) but the village hall does occasionally have pop up bars, and there’s a small village shop.

Local attractions

Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to get your bearings – it’s got lots of independent shops and cafés to try out, and the Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum to visit. It’s also on the banks of the River Deben, so you could take a waterside walk, join a boat trip or simply select a pub for a scenic pint. The town is on the edge of the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, so there are plenty of places for a walk nearby. Rendlesham Forest (15 minutes) is a particularly intriguing one, with a UFO trail giving an insight into some spottings here back in the 1980s. If it’s the ‘coast’ part of the name that grabs your interest, head to Orford Ness National Nature Reserve (25 minutes) for wildlife and war remnants, or visit the smart town of Aldeburgh (half an hour). For other days out, try National Trust - Sutton Hoo (15 minutes), Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) or shopping and cultural events at Snape Maltings (20 minutes).
