About Newbourne Woodland Campsite
This small, peaceful campsite offers adults the opportunity to unwind and switch off. There are numerous country walks along local lanes and footpaths, and it's the perfect place to bring to the dog too! There is plenty of space with only 20 unallocated tent pitches, allowing up to three guests each. Make your choice between the sheltered woodland or the spacious meadow. Some pitches even overlook the water! Great for those wanting a digital detox, there is no WiFi and limited mobile phone signal. You'll go home rested and relaxed. There are also three glamping cabins onsite, each fully furnished with a wood burner to stay nice and cosy. Spend a morning in the hide with the binoculars, and you may spot herons, egrets, muntjac and much more. There is also an onsite information centre and book swap. When you arrive, just park your car in the car park in the paddock, and grab a wheelbarrow to transport your things. For evenings onsite, there are BBQ and fire pits to borrow, or feel free to bring your own. Disposable BBQs and ground fires are prohibited. Dogs are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two permitted on some pitches.
Newbourne Woodland Campsite is open from 03/05 to 26/10 in 2024 and from 02/05 to 25/10 in 2025.
There are ladies' and gents' blocks, with free hot showers, loos and electric plugs for hair dryers. Outside sinks are available for washing up. The Elephant Shed has a freezer and fridge to keep your food fresh, a kettle, and there are plug points to charge your phone.
Tables and chairs are scattered throughout the wood for campers to use, with some undercover. There are books to swap and local information in a hut too. A limited amount of fire pits and BBQs are available to borrow.
The site is located a ten minute to the Nourish Cafe, with The Fox Inn pub a 25 minute stroll away. A Morrisons Daily is also a ten minute drive away for any essentials.

We absolutely loved our stay here and will 100% be back again. The campsite is in a quiet little area with little light pollution, so it was lovely being able to see the night sky. The host was lovely and friendly. There's a little honesty shop with absolutely everything you'll ever need for camping. A very dog friendly site too, with the shop selling dog treats. The facilities were spotless and some of the best campsite toilets I've seen!

What a lovely review Mairwen, thank you. I am so pleased you enjoyed the site and your stay, we look forward to seeing you again at some time.

Things to do on site and in the Woodbridge area
Woodbridge, about 15 minutes away, is a lovely old market town with beautiful river walks - and excellent restaurants! Waldringfield (10 minutes) is even nearer so you can start your river walk there and stop off at The Maybush for a pint or a meal.
Of course, a trip to Felixstowe (15 minutes) is a must. The docks and viewing point are at one end with the historic Landguard Fort. Then there's the seafront, pier, swimming pool and amusement arcade in the middle, and old Felixstowe with its fishing boats and huts at the other end.
How about a trip on the foot ferry from there over to Bawdsey and the world's first operational radar station? Or take the ferry to Harwich for a great day out.
Other nearby things to see and do include:
- Holywells Park (20 minutes)
- Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum (20 minutes)
- Sutton Hoo (25 minutes)
- Ipswich Waterfront (30 minutes)
