Orchard Wild Camping lives up to its name with proudly off-grid pitches near Saxmundham, about 15 minutes from both Aldeburgh and Southwold. Each pitch comes with a firepit for toasty evenings, while a bowser provides washing water (bring your own drinking water, though your first bottle's included). The solar shower is there if you're feeling brave on cloudier days. With just a handful of pitches, this is peaceful wild camping with plenty of space and a strong focus on simplicity. You're five minutes from Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape, ideal for coastal walks and wildlife spotting, and within easy reach of RSPB Minsmere, Africa Alive, and the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary. It's a straightforward, nature-focused stay where campfires crackle and the extras are deliberately minimalβ€”perfect if you want to unplug properly without venturing too far from civilisation. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ• No ✨ Glamping available βœ“ Yes πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ• No ## Pitch types - β€’ Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild) Pitch details as listed by the booking provider β€” availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Lodges & pods - πŸ›– Orchid bell tent ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• πŸ§’ Good for children βœ“ 🚻 Toilets on site βœ“ Composting toilet Shower available D. of E. welcome Family friendly Motorcycle friendly Rallies welcome Single-sex groups welcome Student groups welcome Barbecues allowed Campfires allowed Commercial vehicles allowed No dogs allowed No pets allowed Budget/backpacker Peaceful Remote location ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 3 takeaways deliver to this postcode (IP17 2QZ) Subway - Leiston β˜… 5.0 Β· Sandwiches, Lunch Oh My Pizza and Kebab β˜… 5.0 Β· Pizza, Kebab Prezzo Italian Pasta & Pizza - Aldeburgh β˜… 2.8 Β· Italian, Pizza Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Tesco, Saxmundham 1.1 miles - Co-op, Leiston 4.5 miles - Lidl 13.8 miles - Aldi, Ipswich 14.2 miles - Morrisons, Beccles 16.9 miles - Sainsbury's, Ipswich 17.4 miles - Asda, Ipswich 18.2 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.
