About Us
The Briar Campsite in the heart of rural Suffolk close to Constable country
Open from Easter Weekend to October.
We are Camping and Caravanning Club Certificated Site.
John was very friendly and had provided a clean comfortable and well maintained site. We were cycling on the NCN1 with a 2P tent, would recommend to anyone.
Great campsite, in a beautiful area with lots of amenities. Cycle and walking routes around are very picturesque. Really enjoyed my stay, would recommend. Thanks again and see you next time!
Perfect, quiet and accessible to A14 and A12 for Felixstowe Sea Front, right right on the doorstep of Constable Country, Colchester for shopping and all that Essex and South Suffolk has to offer. Just south of Ipswich for anyone coming in via Harwich from the continent. Lovely host in a quiet village with a local community owned pub with play park while parents enjoy a good selection of drinks with good food just three minutes walk away. Lovely approachable hosts on-site, with toilet, shower, Elsan and recycling bins with electric hook up and a nice grass plot. Lovely, and a great price.
Perfect stopover if you’re going to/from the ferry at Harwich – just 30 mins away from the port. Feels very quiet and out of the way, both in terms of location and atmosphere. Only one toilet/shower but both times we stayed there weren’t many other campers and it wasn’t a problem, facilities were very clean too.
Nice place to stay, wonderfully quiet and everything you need is available. Thank you John for the good welcome and nice trip next winter with Cheryl.
Cycle toured through for one night.Lovely place. Only one toilet so i’d be a bit nervous if I was suffering from diarrhea.Shower was nice and hot.Nice a d quiet apart from the bird song. No feral children running about which was a bonus.
I booked a sans-electricity tent pitch for three nights at The Briar Campsite. It was easy to find and precisely as advertised. Very much a no-nonsense site, not crowded, clean lavatory and shower facility, plenty of space, quiet, no light pollution at night (the full moon and Ursa Major right overhead were amazing) and very affordable. Proprietor John Davies gave me a pleasant welcome and it turned out that he too is a keen sailor (sailing International One Design). In all a good stay and I would recommend the Briar Campsite to you.
Lovely place, nice and quiet with a real friendly feel. The owner was personable and facilities good for a small site. We used for Alton water which is only 10 min drive away. Great stay will definitely be back!
