Cosy Camping Suffolk

Pitch up at Cosy Camping Suffolk and you are camping on a working arable farm at Bucklesham, about six miles east of Ipswich and five miles inland from Felixstowe. Cars stay off the camping field entirely: you park in a private car park and the grass is left clear for kids and games. Tent pitches are grass and non-electric, one tent per pitch, taking up to six people with a maximum of four adults. If canvas is not your thing, there are eight camping pods, a converted grain silo and a bell tent, all with underfloor heating, which is why Cosy Camping Suffolk works in February as well as August. This is not a site for tourers: no caravans or motorhomes are taken, though a couple of spaces exist for campervans and roof tents in a separate area, and no dogs are allowed anywhere on site. Campfires are allowed in the site's own firepits, hired at £5 a stay and burning logs bought on site at £6 a net, a rule the arable farm's insurance sets rather than the owners. Facilities cover showers, a family and accessible wet room, extra toilets, a wash-up area and a small shop, and there is open space for outdoor games. Sutton Hoo and the Suffolk coast are both an easy drive. The site is open all year, with tent pitches from £20 a night midweek.
