Alde Garden’s wildlife campsite is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Just 2 hours from London by train, & only a 20-minute drive from Suffolk’s diverse coastline.
Alde Garden makes the perfect spot for a holiday, retreat or mid-week break. Situated in the heart of Suffolk, Alde Garden hosts a collection of eclectic accommodation, as well as a handful of small tent pitches.
Make sleeping into an adventure in our colourful, 100-year-old Gypsy Caravan. Become a big kid with our treehouse hideout for adults or fall asleep under the stars inside a cosy Yurt or tent. With enough spaces for families, or couples young and old.
Relaxation and spending time in nature is a luxury that is often taken for granted. At Alde Garden relaxation is a speciality. Evenings spent unwinding around the campfire; a secluded Jungle shower and a variety of communal and private spaces mean you can design your stay uniquely to you.
The site itself is an eco-friendly campsite with a range of quirky accommodation, features, and possibilities including catered massages, spa treatments and personalised hampers. While there is electricity and home-comforts, Alde Garden encourages guests to get back to nature and enjoy the wildlife in the garden.
What can you expect from Alde Garden Campsite?
Winding pathways lead through trees and wildlife areas leading to small clearings where each accommodation option hides. 
Friendly communal areas allow you to get to know other guests, but there’s also enough seclusion to allow you private time too.
At night the site is enchantingly lit by solar lights and the dark sky is perfect for stargazing.
To maintain the ambience of the garden, cars are kept in a car park adjacent to the site (not next to the pitches) and we don’t allow ball games, amplified music or large groups. So, you can expect a feeling of tranquility alongside nature. Sometimes there are families with children – so if you’re looking for complete peace & quiet it’s best to come mid-week or in term-time.
The site is in the village of Sweffling, just outside the popular town of Framlingham. Play areas, footpaths/cycle routes, open spaces and a host of things to do are just a stone’s throw away.
When is the best time to stay at Alde Garden Campsite?
Bookings have now opened for 2022.
Depending on what you’re looking for and who you’re travelling with, you will find Alde Garden Campsite more suitable at different times. For families, school holidays and weekends are the optimum times. We have travel cots and you will also find a small child’s feeding chair in the shelter. (please request these on your booking form or by email).
Longer, mid-week breaks.
For those looking to really unwind and get back to nature, there is nothing more perfect than a longer or mid-week stay. Staying at Alde Garden for an extended stay and during the week gives you the best opportunity to completely relax and get step into nature’s rhythms. Avoid busier periods and families by booking mid-week.
Additional extras make your stay perfect, such as a trip to our award-winning real ale pub, cranio-sacral massage, aromatherapy & reiki – all offered within a short distance of the site, and visiting massage is also available. In addition to this, a whole host of holistic treatments are available at TK Yoga in Framlingham. More details of these and other treats can be found on the extras page.
We also have an abundance of wild herbs, free for the picking, a pizza oven and scenic walks to get the most out of living in nature.
We believe there’s something extra special by taking time back for yourself during ‘work-hours’. So, take a look at our availability for 2022 and book direct with us.
