  • Camping field on a farm with coastal views near Southwold, Suffolk
  • A 15-minute drive to Walberswick and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve
  • Fresh farm produce on sale; games room; 20 minutes’ walk to the beach
A stay at the Suffolk seaside? And near Southwold? What’s not to love? Especially at Pigs in Blankets, an off-grid camping site with spacious and flat grass pitches scattered across a six-acre meadow on a working livestock farm. Cleverly, the field is neatly divided into segments suitable for families, couples only (tucked away in a quiet corner) and one area for groups wishing to camp together. ​ The recently refurbished “straw shed” is the focal point of the campsite. This renovated dutch barn now offers up all sorts of amenities from a washing-up area, washing machines and tumble dryers to keep everyone and everything sparkly, to a games room for the kids if the weather turns against you. While on site, you’ll have constant views of the farm animals, the neighbouring wildfowl marshland and the lovely Suffolk coastline. It’s only a 20-minute walk into the lively seaside town of Southwold for pubs and supermarkets (and the cool shops on its high streets), and you can buy home-reared, high-welfare produce from the farm’s self-service vending machine.
