A note from the site themselves...

We moved to Suffolk as a family in August 2020 in the hope that we could start up a campsite or glamping site. We are both teachers and we wanted to be able to work part time to be able to spend more time with our children and not miss all the events that children do!

We love the outdoors and have spent lots of time doing camps and D of E as teachers. After four years in Suffolk we have finally done it! We aim to offer a happy, quiet and peaceful stay at our campsite. There are lots of opportunities for cycling around mostly flat roads and visiting local beaches, the broads and towns.

We hope to welcome you soon!

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2024

Great, simple campsite, facilities all of a great standard. Friendly owners, seemed very supportive if we needed anything and gave great local recommendations. Communications prior to staying were great and nice to have a WhatsApp chat set up encase we needed them. Would definitely recommend. Pleased to have supported a local family business :-)

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2024

What a lovely site this was. Lovely hardstanding fully serviced generous sized pitches, all level and well maintained. It is a small site and not overcrowded. If it's peace and quiet you want, then this is the perfect site to be. It has only been open a few weeks but the owners have done a great job and nothing is too much trouble. The shower block is sufficient for the number of pitches and kept clean. This is a no frills campsite so if you want a lot of onsite activities, shops and bars then this is not the one for you. But, if you want a lovely, relaxing, well kept site, then Henstead Fields is the one for you.

Site's response

Thank you for your review :) You stayed over one of our 'busy' weekends too, so we're pleased it was still restful and peaceful. We hope to see you again soon.
