Shottisham Campsite has 50 spacious pitches (some with electrical hook-up) spread between 5 small fields broken up by mature native trees and bushes. The pitches are level and on free-draining ground. If you would like to stay in a particular area please ask when you book and we will be happy to oblige if it is possible.
Facilities: there are three small toilet/shower blocks – powered by solar energy (PV array) – the most recent ones were completed in 2016 and 2019. The older green toilet/shower block has two toilets, hand basins and a shower each for men and for women. The 2 new toilet/shower blocks are unisex with 6 more toilets, 3 more showers, 7 more basins, and a disabled-access toilet. We also have a total of 4 dishwashing points at both toilet blocks and a sceptic emptying point for chemical toilets next to the green building. We also provide handwashing soap at all of our basins. We regularly check and clean the facilities to keep them as clean and stocked as possible.
Waste and recycling bins for glass, paper/cardboard, cans and plastics are next to the main entrance to the campsite. Please recycle as much as you can and put the recycled items loose in the bins (not in black bin bags). Please don’t leave chairs, beds, tables, carpets, sofas and other bulky items in our rubbish bins – please take them home or to the council tip.
Fire extinguishers: these can be found at the water point in the main field behind the house, by the green toilet block, by the black toilet block, by the cafe and at reception.
Opening Times: If you want to buy sausages/bacon, eggs, jam, wood, or hire a firepit or picnic table or would like information about the local area then please come to the cafe between 6pm-7pm only. We prefer card/contactless payment for anything while on site.
In case of an emergency contact us at any time.
Campfires are allowed in firepits (raised off of the ground) which we hire out. We also sell wood in £11 or £20 tubs. You are welcome to bring your own. There is also an ash bin, next to the Cafe, provided for the safe disposal of ashes.
Dogs are very welcome and there is direct access from the campsite to acres of heathland, forest and fields which are great for dog walking. Please keep dogs on a secure lead while on the campsite and the smallholding. Please remember that this is a working smallholding with sheep and other livestock. We also have very free ranging chickens who do not like to be stressed or torn apart by dogs.
Groups: We are happy for groups to come and stay, but we do ask that everyone who stays on our campsite be respectful and considerate of the other campers, the animals and us. Please don’t make unreasonable noise after 10pm as some people might be trying to sleep – noise carries much further than you think outside.
We have been generously supported by the @newanglialep ERDF Business Growth Programme and Visitor Economy Grant Scheme who helped us to buy a new phone and computer for the business. Thank you very much to New Anglia and the European Union for supporting small rural businesses like ours.
