Church View Campsite Reviews

Will be coming again

Brilliant site, planning on returning again soon, so much for the kids to do. Highly recommended.

Lovely campsite to stay

Lovely park in a peaceful setting. It really makes it feel more like home with all the animals to pet. Really nice place for the little ones too, they will love it! All in all, a nice place to visit - will come again. Owner very nice and friendly too as was the lovely cat.

If you come again you will have to try archery or the escape room!

Lovely little glamping pod getaway

Lovely glamping pod perfect for a family get away. The facilities onsite were great for keeping our little one entertained and it was all dog friendly. It's only a short walk away for the local village. The food from the café was great value for money. Only downside was that the glamping pod could have done with being a bit cleaner. But overall, a lovely camping site perfect for a quick get away.

Glad you had a nice time and sorry the pod let us down a little.

Brilliant

This was the first time camping with the kids, so decided to try one night as it was local. Site was great, toilets were clean and tidy, and there is a sink to do washing up in the hub if it is raining. The kids loved feeding the rabbits and guinea pigs and are already asking when we can go back.

So glad you had a nice time.

Bank holiday break

The fact there was an adult only field made it for us, especially as it was a bank holiday weekend. It was so nice and quiet. The facilities are basic, but perfectly adequate. A few more sinks around would have greatly improved it. Also, a shop of some sort would be good. Otherwise very nice and we will return.

Site's response

We are working over the winter to pop a couple more sinks in where they will be useful for the Sunset field.

Recommended weekend break

A lovely campsite where we spent our weekend. Originally we had booked a serviced hardstanding and grass pitch as it was the only one left, however on arrival there was availability in the sunset field (XL grass pitches with electric and water) which I believe would usually be adult only but due to summer was open to families too. The campsite owner kindly let us move into that field. Great activities onsite including archery with Patrick that we very much enjoyed, he is very welcoming. They have hutches of rabbits and guinea pigs which are enjoyed by children (and our pup). They host running events, there's an assault course and a Thai restaurant that we got takeaway from both nights. Everything you need and only a short walk from barrow. We drove and spent the day in Bury St Edmunds which is worth a visit on the first Sunday of the month - market day. Cathedral grounds lovely.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. A couple of additions which folks might find helpful. As well as the Sunday market days. Wednesdays and Saturdays are general market days in Bury St Edmunds. Our bar/cafe will be serving snacks and pizza in 2023 and our Sunset field with the very large pitches (great for groups) is now open to families not just adults

Lovely

Lovely campsite in a beautiful location surrounded by open countryside. Great facilities. Great for dogs.

Glad you and your pup enjoyed your stay with us!

Great stay

A friendly, welcoming campsite, very reasonably priced. Nice, free and easy atmosphere but not a 'fancy' site, just good, basic but spotless amenities. A little gem.

Thank you

Nice little site

Needed a one night stay near Bury St Edmonds so Church View worked ideally. Has an intimate feel yet not crowded. Didn't need to use indoor facilities as outdoor ones were fine. Friendly warden Amanda popped round to check all was ok. Walked in to Barrow village - easy 10-15 min stroll for shop (and chippy!)

... and pubs! Plus in the summer season our own bar/cafe will be open. Cheers :)

Simply amazing

A great time was had by all. Very family friendly - safe and secure! The kids loved it and wanted to stay longer. We will definitely be visiting again.

We look forward to seeing you again.

Great 2 night stay

Had a great 2 night stay. Lovely and peaceful at night. Staff very friendly and took time to stop and chat. My grandson made many new friends and loved the play area. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Trudi, Lindsay, Nick, Siian... (and Buzz, JJ and Topaz the dogs)

Thank you , we look forward to seeing you again

Value for money

Between Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, this is a small campsite in a rural setting. It's about 15mins drive to a decent supermarket but there are convenience stores about 0.5 miles away. Julie, the owner, was efficient at emailing information and made the effort to come and talk to us, which we appreciated. The part of the campsite we were on was fine but it is a little rough around the edges. We were lucky the weather was nice as the toilets are small porta-style with an outside basin and showers were limited (one womens/ mens-only and a unisex one that was draughty). It's a basic but pleasant enough place and that's reflected in the price, so if you're not looking for frills, this is the place to go.

Site's response

Thank you for reviewing. I think you must have missed our indoor showers and toilets which were available, and always are, for those who find our outside facilities a little 'rustic' . There are actually 4 unisex available outside so plenty to go around. Of course the outside facilities are suited more to the warmer weather.

Nice little campsite

Site was neat and well laid out. There were some upgrades going on which look great. Toilets and showers were clean and warm! Owners were really friendly.

Our new boiler is now in place for all our outside facilities. Indoor toilets and showers will still be available for those who prefer them. Thanks for reviewing
