This caravan park is amazing. The staff are very friendly. It is close to the beach and town. The pitches are clearly marked and signs to get you to the right area. The toilets and shower blocks are bright, modern and extremely clean. Will definitely stay here again

Great location, efficient check in but unfortunately thereafter a poor experience. We’ve visited a number of times over the last few years and always found the site to be tidy and well managed. This time the site was very tired. Thistles and stinging nettles abounded along with some vague info about leaving the growth for the bees. Not great for us in flip flops and horrible for the little dogs. Unfortunately a campsite is only ever as good as your fellow campers and unfortunately during our stay a selfish, inconsiderate, large group decided to party until late, very loudly. I don’t think this would have happened on a club site, rules are generally enforced. At Southwold rules around quiet times and consideration for others are only suggestions. We left early and won’t be back.

When we pulled onto the site in our motorhome we had to drive through the static park this was like a scene from Chernobyl it looked like it'd been abandoned in a hurry,then to our pitch there was a sign saying they encouraged wild growth for the bees but the thistles on our pitch were vicious you couldn't even walk around in flip flops let alone barefoot,the staff were good the location was good the facilities were poor such a shame as Southwold is lovely

Staff were lovely, toilets and showers clean and not once did I have to queue for either. A stones through from the beach and a short walk to pubs and the town.
