Sycamore Park

Sycamore Park is a small adults only touring park in the village of Theberton, a quiet spot on the Suffolk coast within easy reach of RSPB Minsmere. Theberton sits about two miles from Leiston and roughly three miles inland from the beach at Sizewell, with Aldeburgh to the south and Southwold to the north, so the Suffolk Coast and Heaths is right there for walking and cycling. Pitches are a mix of grass and hardstanding, each with electric hook-up, and caravans, motorhomes and tents are all welcome. This is an over 21s site, so if you are camping with children it is not the one for you. Pitches measure 18ft by 29ft, awnings cost nothing extra provided they fit, and cars park on your own pitch because there is no separate parking area. The shower block is modern with underfloor heating, and there are outdoor washing up sinks with hot water, fresh water points and a chemical disposal point. What makes Sycamore Park work is how quietly it is run: no music outside, no bonfires or ground barbecues, and an owner who is usually about on the neighbouring land if you need anything. Raised barbecues are fine. Dogs stay free but must be on a lead throughout, partly because of the animals in the fields next door. Sycamore Park opens from Easter until 27 September, with prices from £27.50 a night for two adults including electric hook-up.
