The Eels Foot Inn Certificated Location is a five van Caravan and Motorhome Club CL sitting behind a village pub at Eastbridge, a mile or so from the reserve at RSPB Minsmere. Eastbridge is a hamlet on the Suffolk Heritage Coast: the beach and sluice at Minsmere are roughly two miles away on foot across the marsh, Leiston is about two and a half miles by road, and Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Southwold are all within a short drive. As a Certificated Location it takes a maximum of five caravans or motorhomes and you need to be a Caravan and Motorhome Club member to stay. The plot runs to about half an acre with 16 amp electric hook-up and recycling, and facilities are basic rather than lavish, so if you want a full service park with a launderette and a play barn, this is not it. What you get instead is quite possibly the shortest walk to the bar in Suffolk. The Eel's Foot serves food seven days a week, is well known locally for its live folk sessions, and the woodland walks and marsh footpaths start a few steps from your pitch. Dogs are very welcome, on the site and in the pub. Prices and availability for the CL are quoted through the pub's own online booking system, and it is worth confirming season dates with The Eels Foot Inn directly before you travel.
Do you need to be a member to stay at The Eels Foot Inn Certificated Location?
Yes, this is a Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location, so you need to be a Club member to stay. Like all CLs it takes a maximum of five caravans or motorhomes at a time. Membership can be arranged through the Club before you travel.
Is there electric hook-up on the CL?
Yes, the Caravan and Motorhome Club lists 16 amp electric hook-up at this Certificated Location. The plot is around half an acre, so expect a compact, simple field rather than a full facility park. Recycling facilities are provided and there is a dog walk directly from the site.
Are dogs allowed at The Eels Foot Inn?
Yes, dogs are very welcome at the pub and on the Certificated Location. The Club lists a dog walk straight from the site, and the footpaths across the Eastbridge marshes and the neighbouring woodland start within a few steps of your pitch. Dogs are welcome inside the pub too.
How far is the CL from RSPB Minsmere and the beach?
Eastbridge sits roughly a mile and a half from the RSPB Minsmere reserve, and the beach and sluice at Minsmere are about two miles away on foot across the marsh. Leiston is around two and a half miles by road. Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Southwold are all a short drive.
Is the site adults only or can families stay?
The Caravan and Motorhome Club lists this Certificated Location as suitable for families, while other listings describe it as adults only. The two sources disagree, so contact The Eels Foot Inn directly before booking if you plan to bring children. The pub itself is family friendly and serves food daily.
How do you book and what does it cost?
Campsite bookings are taken through the online booking system linked from the pub's own website, and prices are quoted there rather than published as a flat rate. Season dates are not stated on the pub website, so confirm availability with The Eels Foot Inn on 01728 830154 before travelling.
