๐ŸŒ˜โœจ A little bit of magic at Sunset Corner last nightโ€ฆ

Our campers gathered together at the end of the day to enjoy the eclipse โ€” paddleboarders coming off the river, people relaxing with a drink, and everyone looking up and waiting for the moment. ๐ŸŒ™

And being Wednesday, we also had our pop-up catering, which made for a lovely busy evening and a brilliant atmosphere around the campsite. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”ฅ

We might not have captured the eclipse itself, but we definitely captured the feeling of the evening. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒฟ

Just another one of those special nights by the River Stour. ๐Ÿ’ซ

๐Ÿ›ถ THE INFAMOUS RUSHBANKS PADDLE TO THE PUB! ๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฟ

One of the best things about staying at Rushbanks? You can paddle downstream to The Anchor, Nayland for lunch or dinner! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ - Itโ€™s a beautiful paddle of around 1ยผ hours, winding through the gorgeous Dedham Vale and Constable Country. ๐ŸŒฟ

๐Ÿ›ถ Bring your own canoe or paddleboard โ€” or hire one from us!
You absolutely donโ€™t need to hire your equipment from Rushbanks. If you have your own canoe or paddleboard, bring it along and enjoy exploring the River Stour at your own pace, but If youโ€™re hiring one of our canoes, our 10am daily safety briefing is where youโ€™ll get your map and all the information you need before heading off. The boys in the Canoe Zone will point you in the right direction! ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿป And remember to book The Anchor first! Itโ€™s a popular spot, so make sure youโ€™ve got your table reserved before you set off.

And why not make a weekend of it?
๐Ÿ•๏ธ Stay on our peaceful, off-grid riverside campsite โ€” bring your own tent, campervan or camping setup and enjoy the great outdoors.
โ›บ Prefer something a little more comfortable? We also have our lovely bell tents for glamping
๐Ÿ• Bring the dog โ€” weโ€™re super dog friendly (dogs must be kept on a lead)
๐Ÿ”ฅ Hire a firepit and enjoy the evening by the river
๐Ÿ„ Bring your own paddleboard or canoe, or hire one from us, and explore the beautiful River Stour
