Great basic site

Stayed here over the weekend and would recommend. It is a very basic site with just a tap and WC point (separate) and a bin for rubbish. No Recycling so bought all that home. Track up to the site is sand so a bit scary in a MH trying to cross the ruts but made it. Would re-iterate what a previous review said regards getting the entrance hedge/trees trimmed, its OK for cars but not for a MH or caravan so it is a bit tight. Easy to find, just look for the church and the site is in the church car park (all grass). Quite a busy road during the day but no noise at night, paid at the pub in the morning. Lots of footpaths nearby. Maybe a bit tight with 5 units but so long as everyone spreads out it would probably be OK.

A hidden treasure

Stayed here for two nights in May. Access from the main road is via a small sandy track and there is a moderately steep but short climb up to the site itself which is well drained and mostly level with a slight slope in some areas. There is nobody to greet you and we didn't manage to contact anybody by phone. However, clear instructions and information are posted on a tree which can't be missed. The site comprises the car park for the lovely old Saxon church of St Peters and is next to the church and graveyard. There is a gastro-pub, The Froize Inn within a few minutes walk and the Oyster Inn at Butley can be walked to in about 40 minutes. There are lovely walks in all directions from the site and Orford itself can be walked to across the fields in about an hour and a half. Most of Suffolk's main towns and attractions are within a short car journey. All in all a highly recommended campsite if you are the self-sufficient sort.

Wonderful

We stayed here for six nights at the end of May. A lovely peaceful site. Lots to do and see in the local area. Like a previous reviewer we also saw the white deer. The bushes by the entrance could still do with a trim.

Nearer to God!

We stayed here for 3nights and enjoyed it. Very basic but that's what we like. Good for watching wildlife ( we saw a white deer),and an excellent footpath to Orford ( try the smoked hock from the smokehouse!). It's good the money (£5) goes towards the church. Make sure you go in and see the window !

Peace and tranquility

Stayed for a week having chosen the site for its rural location and we wern't disappointed. The quietness was great, just what we wanted. The sandy approach to the site was of concern at first but tuned out not a big problem. It was unusual to be pitched adjacent to the churchyard with graves therin, but this added to the peacefulness. The chuch was open for viewing. Go prepared for no mains electrics and you should have a lovely, quiet visit. We were the only visitors for some of the time, this in main school holidays too. We would return if in the area again.
