 Perfect location, next to beach and harbour area and only 10 minute walk into town.
Pitch was close to the new self contained shower / toilet cubicles so only used those and they were good cannot comment on the other shower / toilet blocks.
Only thing that would stop me returning is the cost of the site

Good size pitches, great location, facilities are good.
Friendly staff greeted us, gave us site map etc.
Pitch was a good size for our 4 birth tent and vehicle.
Wood fired pizza van was there on Friday evening.
Nice walk into Southwold or ferry to Walberswick.
Have stayed before and will stay again.

A lovely, well-maintained site in an excellent location right next to Southwold harbour. Reception staff were friendly and helpful.
Paid £24 for a basic tent pitch which is very reasonable for Suffolk in July.
Toilets and showers were clean, with a choice of two blocks plus extra temporary units bought in to help with Covid restrictions. It's run by the local Council so is tidy and well-organised, with plenty of hand-sanitiser stations.
Southwold town is a mile's walk along the coast so that was handy for stocking up on supplies and visiting the pubs.
Overall, a clean and quiet site, close to the sea, which was perfect for me and my son as we were hiking the Suffolk Coast Path.

Great location but an annoying booking system.
The site was very clean and good value for money but the booking system meant we had to move pitches for our second night.

We stayed here for 4 nights, arriving on a Friday. It is quite an expensive site and as the place filled up with what we now know were weekend visitors, we felt very cramped - compared to other sites we have been on. There is not much room between bays and if someone has a large awning, they can be quite close to your van.
We didn't use the showers or toilets but I did have a look, and again sadly, I have seen a lot better facilities for a lot less money.
The upside for the site is the location.
The beach is just across the road and it is only a 15 minute walk into Southwold which was excellent.
Probably wouldn't return.

We visited this site a large family group, most of which were in tents and us in our caravan, no ehu. If you are looking for a campsite to have a quiet weekend then this isn’t it. It was absolutely packed solid. It is half statics and half camping with one field for electric hook up and another, larger one, without. The electric field looked a lot quieter than the tent field so if we were to return then this is where we would pitch. As per other reviews, the facilities are old and not kept clean. You have to pay 20p for hairdryers and there are no electric points. We weren’t too bothered as we have our own facilities. It absolutely tipped it down the weekend we were there too and the site was waterlogged and people were getting stuck when they were leaving.
It is, however, in a very nice spot so if you like the beach its great, albeit a bit of a trek from the (very quaint) town.

I have stayed here numerous times over the last 8 years, albeit not by choice but as necessity.
The location of this site is superb and cannot be faulted. However, as one of the most costly sites in europe it is suffering from lack of investment and is very poorly run by the local council. In 16/17 the council have spent some money, primarily on health and safety but much remains to be done.
Clearly the joy of this site is its 'natural' feel but that should not excuse poor quality services when you are paying top dollar. Problem areas are as follows:
1. Too few showers which are in a poor state.
2. Cleaning leaves much to be desired.
3. Waste skips are a centre piece of the site clearly visible from most pitches and after a weekend overflowing with gulls all of them and unfortunately the odd rat.
I would suggest visit the site but also register your views for improvements. The Council needs to be made to take action.
