 Just an update to my review of July 2008 below.
The site itself has not changed one bit so previous comments in that respect remain current.
The purpose of our stay was to go to the Harvest Beer Festival at the Geldeston Locks Inn. The Locks Inn has gone from strength to strength. Periodic festivals are longer and more elaborate; range of food is wider; the curry night has served me with a couple of the best curries I’ve had anywhere and Green Jack beer continues to win awards everywhere it goes! (See website for details) The atmosphere is always informal. I believe all this is due to a ‘labour of love’ by Colin the Proprietor. If Colin ever moves on, I’m sure it will never be the same.
The nearby farm shop has expanded and now sells veg and meat. The range home made chutneys & pickles is vast as is the range of home made jams. Additionally there is a farm animal encounter (and some not normally on a farm!) for children. Entry is free / donation.
The Wherry Inn immediately opposite the site entrance, continues to be a very smart eats / drinks / music pub.
One of my top 20 sites with the Locks Inn, my all time favourite country / riverside pub, just round the corner. 10/10!

I'll start by saving you the bother of reading the rest of this review by simply saying that you will be hard pushed to find a more unusual, more informal, more pleasant or more peaceful site.
This site is probably unique in as much as it occupies an island within a small marina. Numerous mature trees create a nice feel to the site area. You have the choice of pitching in the shade or in the open. Being surrounded by water, families with children will need to exercise the obvious precautions.
Encircled by moored motor cruisers, caravans are outnumbered by small boats 50-1. However, as there were very few boat movements, there was little to disturb the rustling of the leaves. Another nice touch that contributed to peace and quiet was the etiquette of only to bringing your car onto the pitches only for loading and unloading.
The site area is unlit at night, so remember your torch - and your ghost story book! The vehicle entrance gate is closed around 22:30 and opened about 08:30. The pedestrian gate is always open, but if you want to get away early or get back late, parking outside is not a problem.
The W.C. And shower (20p) are located on the end of the main boatshed. They are around 200 paces from the pitches, which is slightly too far to be described as convenient. But bear in mind that this is a CL, so having them at all is a distinct luxury! Own sanitation, or a bike, might be useful.
The drinking water tap and chemical disposal point are on the dock area. Again, slightly too far to comfortably carry a water container. Best to have a roller type container, or a trolley for your jerry can. (Or be prepared to drive over: which again is not a problem.)
There are no local shops - save for a farm shop just up the road which sells fruit, veg, eggs and home made pickled onions! Every thing you need can be obtained in nearby Beccles.
Barbecues are allowed. Being a marina, you can launch your own canoe or boat, or rent them on site. Fishing opportunities are plentiful. From the site you can access the footpath that runs along the river and also cycling Route 1. How many sites can offer you the opportunity to bbq your fresh caught fish and explore by foot, boat or bike?
Within a stones throw is the Wherry Inn. This is a very comfortable eats and drinks pub. BUT 400m up river, or just round the corner, then down a very long rough track off Station Road, is the Locks Inn. This has to be a unique old fashioned riverside pub. Real ales (Green Jack); real cider (Burnards); Thursday folk evenings (free); Friday curry night (From 6pm, get there early); Sunday live music outside (free). How can it get any better?
A unique site with a unique pub just round the corner. I'm certain you will enjoy them both as we did.
