Hi we are thinking about a spending several days close to the idyllic Suffolk Heritage Coast - loving the sound of Southwold. I've had a look at some of the sites on the campsite search but looking for some personal recommendations for campsites in this area. We need ehu, would like to be close to but not necessarily overlooking a nice beach, a small childrens play area and perhaps within walking distance of a village with a few amenities. Any suggestions?

There is a great site at Leiston, nr Aldeburgh (I can't remember the name of it atm)

Also the following which all have reviews on here are all nice sites:

Cliff House Holiday Park Featured Site, Dunwich, Suffolk

Church Farm Holiday Park, Aldeburgh

Southwold Harbour Camping & Caravan Park

Southwold itself is a bit limited on camp sites as it's more of a bolt-hole for those with holiday homes (an affluent area). However, Southwold is home to the best Fish & Chips in the country although you may have to queue for an hour or so to enjoy them

Hi, We stayed here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=5447

Small family run place, walking distance to village, not exactly near the beach but may be worth you considering.

Southwold is a nice place, but must have the dearest pie shop in the country, cost me over £7 for two pork pies at Pieminster on the high st, admittedly they were very nice.

Hi Wilks was it Cakes & Ale? I spotted this earlier and wondered about it

Thanks for your replies Cliff House seems a popular choice for the location.

Shower block seems a bit dodgy at the Harbour & no ehu as I understand it.

Church farm doesn't appear to take tents?

Southwold Harbour site is rather exposed and doesn't look inviting. Cliff House is a much better bet.

I actually love Southwold. I very clean traditional beach with no tacky arcade places (no offence intended if you like arcades

)
