About Pigs in Blankets Southwold

In a secluded six-acre meadow, this working farm site offers a chance to reconnect with the wilderness and camp with unspoilt views of farmland and the Suffolk coastline. Perfect for the whole family and within a 15-minute walk of Southwold and its iconic beach huts. There are 30 spacious grass pitches within the meadow, all of which are non-electric and suitable for tents. Pitches are unmarked, allowing up to eight guests, with plenty of space so everyone can spread out with a relaxed feel to the place. The campsite also has four glamping pods on offer, each fully insulated with an ensuite shower room and double bed, with the addition of a mezzanine bunk in two of the pods for children. The pods have a handmade country-style kitchenette featuring a Belfast sink, hob and microwave oven, plus a TV and wood burner. The exterior decking allows guests to enjoy the outdoors at every opportunity. Each pod has a luxury wood-fired hot tub, an outside table and an area with outdoor seating and a fire pit with a grill to expand your cooking options. The pods are identical, with subtle interior differences, each spaced 20m apart providing plenty of privacy for guests in each pod. Dogs are welcome on the campsite, but please note that due to being a working livestock farm they must be kept on leads at all times. Two out of four of the glamping pods are also dog friendly. Fires are allowed in the fire pits provided and wood is to be purchased onsite. BBQs are also available to hire to avoid any mess in the car. Fresh food and meat from the farm are also available to purchase. Cook up a delicious breakfast or a BBQ with fresh eggs from the chickens, pork, beef and lamb on offer.

Camping is available from March until October. Glamping is open year round.


Facilities and amenities

The site provides male and female bathrooms, each with three modern showers, toilets, and sinks. There are also washing up facilities, as well as a chillout area with a ping pong table. You can also purchase the farm's produce from the self service vending machine, and BBQs are available to hire.

A 15-20 minute walk takes you into the town of Southwold, with a selection of shops, restaurants, takeaways and cafes. The Adnams Brewery is also just a 25 minute walk away.

A note from the site themselves...

The farm has been in our family for many years. After getting engaged we saw a fantastic opportunity to bring our passion for camping to our doorstep and give campers the opportunity to stay in such a prized location.

We are both working farmers on the farm so unless we are called away to feed the pigs, calve a cow or lamb an ewe, we are always around to offer a friendly welcome and cater to your needs. Will and Jess.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Great location, just a 15 minute walk to the beach for an evening swim. Ran out of gas for my cooker so was delighted to find the Friday night pizza oven on site. Little bar as well had I not brought wine with me! Really nice showers with plenty of hot water. Will return.

Lovely place

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

We chose the site because we wanted to be in nature and close to the beach and thought it would be quiet, but we were unlucky on the second night as there was a noisy gathering next door until way past 10pm. Also, some inconsiderate teenagers walking across our pitch and playing cricket in front of it which set our 2 dogs off. Otherwise, very dog friendly, but there were no dog mess bins on the walk to Southwold which left some mess. Sadly, we were too late to hire a fire pit or BBQ. Lovely people running the site! πŸ‘

Another great stay
