Newbourne Woodland Campsite

Newbourne Woodland Campsite is a tent only, adults only site spread over seven acres of woodland and meadow at Newbourne near Woodbridge, where you choose your own spot and can light a proper campfire. The village sits about four miles south of Woodbridge and roughly five from the beach at Felixstowe, with Newbourne Springs nature reserve on the doorstep and RSPB Minsmere half an hour away by car in the same corner of Suffolk. Newbourne Woodland Campsite books no more than 20 tent pitches at a time and none of them are marked out: park in the paddock, borrow a wheelbarrow and find a corner in the shaded woods or out in one of the meadows. Caravans and campervans are not accepted, there is no electric hook-up and there is no wifi, so this only suits you if the digital detox is the point. No children, no groups over four, no more than three people to a tent, and quiet time after 10pm. Fire bowls and barbecues are lent free, logs and charcoal are made on site, and the Elephant Shed has a woodburner, a fridge and a shelf of books to borrow or swap for the days when Suffolk weather turns watery. Three glamping cabins for two, Kingfisher, Cherry Tree and Hawthorn, sit at the edge of the wood. The 2026 season runs 15 May to 27 September, camping is from £28 a night per tent, and you book by phone or email rather than through an online system.
