Alan Rogers Review of Shottisham Campsite

Shottisham Campsite is a family-friendly campsite in the picturesque village of Shottisham, Suffolk. It is set in 16 acres of rolling countryside, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. There are 50 spacious grass pitches, 30 with electric hook-up points, spread between five picturesque small fields. The campsite offers a variety of facilities to suit all needs, including home to rare breed sheep, pigs, alpacas and poultry, which guests are welcome to meet, greet and help feed as well as help to collect eggs. There is an onsite café which serves home grow, homemade food from the small holding and most Fridays and during school holidays, pizzas are served at a large covered seating area. The campsite also has a large play area for children of all ages, with swings, slides, and a climbing frame.

The National Trust location has exhibitions telling you all about the archaeological investigations and the fascinating artefacts that were found.
