About Henstead Fields Caravan and Campsite
Small, family run campsite nestled in rural North Suffolk yet only a ten minute drive from the sandy beach in Kessingland. A no frills site that aims to provide a peaceful escape to families and couples where they can enjoy spotting the visiting muntjacs and owls as well as constellations in the night sky. The site has five grass pitches that are suitable for tents only, these are non electric. Or, for those travelling in a caravan or motorhome there are 15 fully serviced hardstanding pitches on offer with electric, water and grey waste connections. You'll be a handy 15 minutes from Southwold, a quaint seaside town with a sandy beach, pier and lighthouse, pack the bucket and spade for a fun-filled family day out, or explore the boutiques and cafes in town. Or, walk along the River Waveney in Beccles, 15 minutes by car. Up to two dogs are allowed per pitch. Campfires and BBQs are not permitted, sorry.
The non electric pitches are open from 23rd May to 29th September while the hardstanding pitches are open from 18th April to 29th September.
Site facilities include a well maintained shower and toilet block with separate male and female showers and a unisex disabled shower and toilet. There is a covered washing up area as well as a general waste and recycling point.
The site offers a large open field for the little ones (and big kids!) to play games and explore the woodland around. Please note that there is some uneven ground.

Field and pitches level, location not bad, but need to drive out as there is no shop. A gap in the hedge would be good for local walks, but other than that, nice place, quiet, very friendly and clean.

Hi Terri, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review :). We can certainly think about how we can improve the access to local walks. Have a lovely end to 2024. Sarah and Callum

Would like to thank Callum and Sarah for a quiet, peaceful stay. The site is very spacious, the hardstanding pitches are level and equipped with full service. Callum is very friendly and nothing is to much trouble, there are some teething problems, but these are work in progress and did not make our stay any less enjoyable. Would definitely visit again, as central to Beccles, Lowestoft, Southwold, Africa Alive, Pettit's and much more. All the best for next season Sarah and Callum. Carol and Gerry.

This was our first trip away camping for 12 years. Goodness, we certainly picked the perfect site for us to start again! It was a quiet few days on the site which I guess helped with us finding our feet! The pitches for tents are a great size, campervans and caravans are catered for across the field (EHU etc.) The toilet and shower block is very clean and the showers lovely and hot! There is an accessible shower room too which would be great for families with young children as well. Plenty of hot water at the dish washing sinks too! The location is perfect for visiting the Suffolk coastal spots and other local attractions. The friendly owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area too. This newly established site is great and we will certainly return next season!
