Campfires

Three Rivers is a small, low-density site on the River Waveney at Geldeston, run by a family and kept deliberately quiet: loud groups and unsupervised barking are not welcome, and there is a no-music policy. Seventeen electric pitches (eight with hardstanding) run along a private dyke, several with at least 11 metres of water frontage, and beyond them is a wilder area of mown circles in long grass named after local birds.

Guests can launch their own boats from the jetty and pontoon at no charge, or hire a canoe, kayak or paddleboard from the on-site boat shed. There are four shower rooms and extra toilets, an undercover washing-up sink, a play area for under-12s and a small shop for coffee, milk, eggs and ice cream. Two dog-friendly pubs are within a walk, one a third of a mile away.
