Welcome to sunnyside campsite
Welcome!

  • Small, secluded back-to-basics farm site with a nature pond
  • A 10-minute drive from Halesworth; 20 minutes from Southwold
  • Play area and shared fridge freezer; friendly pub five minutes’ walk
Small is beautiful, so surround yourself with beauty at Sunnyside Campsite, a one-acre site with grassy pitches framed by ash trees and hawthorn hedges. This peaceful meadow is also easily accessible by public transport – Brampton station is a 30-minute walk (or a 10-minute bike ride) from base. This pretty farm site has a nature pond, a kids’ play area and a tumbledown old stable that houses the spick-and-span toilets and water point. Other handy facilities include a washing-up area and a shared fridge freezer. Campfires and barbecues are allowed (as long as they’re raised off the ground), and firepits are available to hire on site, while logs and charcoal can be purchased from the little honesty shop. Fish suppers are on the cards on Thursdays, when a visiting van comes round to sell fresh, locally caught seafood. Sunnyside Campsite is in a prime location for cyclists, who can set out on long- or short-distance pedals along National Cycle Route 1, which passes right at the end of the lane. Walkers and folk who like messing around in boats also have lots of options: the Suffolk coastline can be reached in under 20 minutes’ drive, while the Norfolk Broads are less than a half-hour away. The site is a few minutes’ stroll from a friendly community pub and a village play area. Cafés, restaurants and a larger supermarket are all in Halesworth (10 minutes’ drive).

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Loved this site - simple back to basics but beautifully natural - wild flower meadow in middle of field with just 8 pitches around. Attention to detail with small store and honesty box for any items purchased. Immaculately clean loo and shower in old stable building. Would recommend it and will go again.

From the manager: Thank you for staying and putting up with some damp weather! I’m glad you still enjoyed your stay.

We’d really love to see you again another time soon.

With best wishes,

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: This site is not basic at all, it is beautiful, vintage, retro and perfect! If we could model a bathroom on this we would. And Sally looks after everything constantly. Attention to detail, care and consideration for nature, the site, the environment, the clients is outstanding. We hesitate to write this review because we want it to be available for us! We’ve rebooked for August! And are passing the word to friends and family.
There is a fab store, free dog treats and everything and more you might have forgotten! Ours was pickle for the cheese sarnies!
Waking up to birdsong was a joy! We didn’t budge from the site for 3 days except to walk the dogs! It was just so relaxing. Families with children had fun exploring the woods, making campfires swinging through the trees. And it’s close to beaches a short drive away!
For dog owners this is perfect, there are footpaths everywhere directly through the site you don’t need to use the car!
10mins walk up the road is the village run pub, the food was great and the beer even better! The welcoming friendliness of everyone we met there was lovely.
On the way there we passed signs to a farm near Bungay, on the way back we popped into the best stocked deli self service that was a surprise!
We were sad we weren’t at the site on the days Sally had bread, fish and cakes!

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

The sandy beach at Southwold (20 minutes) is dominated by the white bulk of the 19th-century Southwold Lighthouse and lined by colourful wooden huts. Stroll along the long pier, stopping for ice cream or fish and chips, then head into town and the Southwold Museum for a primer on local history. With their reed-lined ponds and shallow lagoons, the marshes of RSPB Minsmere (30 minutes) are home to avocets, curlews and marsh harriers – plus the occasional (but elusive) otter. Just up the coast from there, National Trust - Dunwich Heath and Beach becomes a colourful riot of purple heather in the summer. The tall spire of the cathedral in Norwich (45 minutes) is visible from far and wide. Explore the interior of this splendid 11th-century church, strolling through the cloisters and the choir, where (if you’re lucky) you might meet Budge, the cathedral cat. The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell explores the history of the area.
