 First time visitor, and we were a two family party.
Nice clean relaxed site, with lovely outdoor pool with a slide, play area, fishing in the large pond.
The owners are friendly and make everyone feel welcome.

Just spent a week here and I have to say that I think it's the cleanest site I've stayed on. There are 2 shower/toilets blocks, one at each end of the site and they were always spotless. The pitches are sheltered and a decent size with electric and water. The whole site is really well looked after.
There is a pool (which the kids loved), 2 play parks (although even the kids got fed up of the sand from the one in the middle of the site), a shop, a bar and much more. You can order from the local chip shop for delivery to site. There is a supermarket less than 5 minutes drive for all your needs.
The people that run the site are lovely and welcoming.
Bingo in the bar on an evening is a must just to listen to the lady calling it (the same one that runs the site) she is hilarious! Even the kids stopped what they were doing to listen to her!
It's a shame that the bar doesn't open to sell sandwiches / snacks throughout the day but not a major drawback.
The only down point is that the beach within walking distance isn't very good, it's a long way down to the sea, there are protected nesting birds on the beach so a lot of it is fenced off and you have to walk around this area. Way too far to walk with all the kids and beach stuff. Nearby Southwold beach is lovely and worth the short drive.
I would definitely recommend this site and hope to return.

Very much agree with the comments in the last review - bit of a hidden gem.
Lovely well maintained site. Pitches sizes were generally very good and felt ours was large even for the site. Fitted caravan, awning, car and could have fitted another car without problem. Pitches were also nicely separated / screened. Also very flat, but as I was reminded, this is Suffolk!
I was originally a little concerned as our pitch was between a toilet block and play park but generally no issue
Toilet provision was very good. Opposite end to our pitch was a slightly older block, but well maintained and clean. Next to us was the newer block that contained 8 (4 male / 4 female) all-in-one shower rooms that were the size of the average family bathroom. This was perfect with kids - wished all sites had this.
Site was very well set up for Kids, two parks, one next to our pitch was in a huge sand pit which our kids loved. Unfortunately the weather was not quite warm enough for us to enjoy the swimming pool but got in there once to try it.
As has been mentioned the on site club / bar is welcoming and the bingo nights are great fun. Drinks are well priced to. There is a fish and chip van on a Saturday evening which had a bit of a queue, but was a nice addition.
Within a short driving distance there are a large number of attractions, including the zoo, 'Africa Alive!' (only a couple of miles away) Southwold (excellent beach and pier) and Oulton Broad (hire a boat and explore the broads!).
Not too many negatives, but the beach next to the site was disappointing and it would have been nice if the bar served food. There is also not too many place in walking distance. Kessingland has a couple of shops but isn't very exciting. We also had a bit of noise from older kids congregating round the park at night, but the 11pm curfew is enforced (would have been better if 10pm).
I am nit-picking though, we had a great week on a lovely site in a nice seaside location. The cherry on top - excellent value, we only paid about £30 a night for an electric pitch with a family a five - a rarity these days in peak season unfortunately.

Cannot thank the site owner enough. Booked a pitch for May half term in January for this site as we had been there previously. On route to the site we had an accident and the caravan was damaged and unable to tow. When we finally got back home with the help of the AA I called the site to advise we would not be coming that day. The owner advised she did have an old static we could use as all other statics were fully booked, which we accepted. Had a fab week and weather was good, which made such a difference. Club/bar on site had a singer who was fab, bingo and quiz. Outdoor pool was very busy and kids made friends. Hubby enjoyed the fishing as very well stocked and managed to catch a lot. Nearby beaches lovely and clean. Morrisons with petrol station and B&M's just a short drive away with Great Yarmouth about 30 min drive. All in all we ended up having a great week. We will definitely be going back.

We have visited this site many times and we are never disappointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pitches are a great size and are maintained. The site feels safe especially for kids. The play park in the middle of the site is ideal for young ones.
There are 2 pools then a little paddling pool the kids always love going on the pool slide.
The toilet blocks are always clean, and I always use the laundry facilities, which are decent for the cost to use them.
Great beaches around and lovely views.
One of our favourite places to visit.

Went to this site for a week. Had a great time our two kids loved it. Site was clean although the toilet blocks could do with more attention during the day. Large Supermarket, petrol station short drive from the site. Definitely go back here again. Onsite shop, fishing, tennis and swimming pool.

This is a fantastic campsite, clean, quiet, small, but with excellent facilities for children.
The staff are so friendly, toilets are amazing.
We have been twice now and will be definitely coming again.

This is a very pleasant site indeed, probably helped by the lovely weather we had. But even without the sunshine there is no getting away from the fact that this site is spotlessly maintained with top notch facilities.
We arrived on a Saturday afternoon to be met with the weekend getaway crowd in full swing. Make no mistake this is a very popular site but it's not hard to see why. It was almost standing room only in the central play area for younger children. Not that this worried my daughter. She was delighted with the younger children's big sandy play area which is sited centrally between both sets of shower blocks and surrounded by tents. This enabled parents to chill out with a beer and keep a beady eye on the play area. The play area is fenced so very self contained and you can easily see what the little people are up to from the comfort of your tent porch on many of the surrounding pitches. So it's very well thought out if a bit hectic with so many small children getting down to the important business of sandcastles and the like. For those seeking a less frenetic camping experience there are pitches around the outside of the circular tarmac site road which are much quieter - each with trees behind them and the road acting as a bit of a buffer zone.
Our stay was one of contrasts. By late Sunday afternoon the site was virtually deserted - we were staying outside of the state school holidays so pretty well everyone had packed up and headed off ready for Monday morning. Our only companions were the odd touring caravan and those hiring the static caravans on the other side of the site. Oh and let's not forget the ducks that wandered through the site on a daily constitutional. Being woken by the sound of insistent quaking on our first morning was something brilliantly memorable '. No I must be dreaming, it sounds like ducks, can't possibly be, must be over tired. Oh yes there are loads of ducks!' The stuff of memories, which is what it's all about isn't it? In fact during this quieter time there were lots of different birds dropping in for bread crumbs so it was very pleasant indeed. If anything it as bit too quiet with a small person to entertain but luckily by about Wednesday reinforcements had arrived and new friendships were forged leaving mummy and daddy to make cups of tea and read their books in relative peace.
I digress! The site has another well equipped and modern play area a short walk away for older children as well as a large playing field and a rather pleasant small lake or maybe it's a very large pond. That'll be where the ducks live then! Somewhat unexpectedly you will also come across the odd peacock. Seriously I am not making this up. My daughter was ecstatic to find the odd beautiful tail feather lying on the ground. As I said the stuff of memories.
But let's not forget the heated outside pool with water flume and some nice, clean changing rooms. It is only open at certain times as it needs to be staffed but it's free and you can lie around on the sun loungers for a snooze while the children fly down the flume. There is also a small pool for toddlers too.
The site has a small shop for the basics and the usual stuff children need. Small plastic toys, teddies and ice cream and did I mention small plastic toys? There is also a local information room where you can also borrow books and videos which made me smile. For those of you who don't remember these they used to be high tech and one day you will experience the same feeling when you see a DVD. And I bet you smile too.
The site does not have a café or restaurant but it does have a very child friendly, convivial bar which does a fine line in crisps, cider and fizzy apple juice. There is a TV so we all watched the football complete with shouting in unison when we scored/failed to score. The owners are really friendly and relaxed making the whole experience very pleasant indeed. We made very good use of the BBQ area and there is a supermarket five minutes up the road in the car and a good chip shop in the rather lovely Kessingland village so you won't starve.
Oh and let's not forget the beach! You can walk to the beach in about 10-15 minutes - small children permitting, along a quite track beside the site next to a field. If you just want to lie around with buckets and spades and watch more birds this is the place for you. We saw some Turns nesting in a protected area and flying so very exciting if you are a twitcher which I seem to becoming if this review is anything to go by. Such was the quality of the play area of site though our daughter wasn't keen to go to the beach very often which was a pity as it is a lovely beach. You can also drive to Kessingland beach which is down past the aforementioned chip shop.
On the more mundane aspects of the site there are the usual recycling areas, spotless laundry and pot washing area. We had an electric pitch with shared water tap. The whole site is flat so there is no issue with battling the terrain.
The shower blocks are at each end of the tenting area but both are a short walk no matter where you are pitched. My only small gripe was that the outer door to the ladies would bang shut at all hours and as we were very nearby it was bit annoying when trying to drop off. That aside though both sets of showers were spotless. One set was a bit older but very well maintained with the other set being very new and totally integrated affairs with loo, basin and shower in a private room. There were four of these for the ladies so, nice as they were, you might have to hot foot it over to the older block on a busy day with it's very practical row of loos and basins. Hot water was plentiful in both blocks. The site was also well lit at night with a light point between various pitches which made getting up in the middle of the night a pretty straight forward affair although some of you might like the challenge of locating the torch and stumbling around in the dark as it can make for an exhilarating experience in the early hours. Me? I quite liked the fact that I could take my six year old to the loo at night without any torch induced stress.
Come the weekend again it was back to the mad influx of the getaway brigade, which I am actually hoping to join this summer. Little persons nirvana! lots of playmates and mayhem. Fantastic! It was only marred on our last night by the people in the newly arrived tent behind us who were up to three in the morning parting with very small children who were understandably exhausted and beside themselves with tiredness. I told them to be quiet and they duly were for all of an hour, then someone from way across the site gave them a dressing down. A short respite followed but it was only the third person that got the desired result in the early hours. Why do people have to be so inconsiderate I wonder? Despite the hectic weekends everyone else was in bed by ten at the latest so this was a small issue and I can't fault the site for the behaviour of one set of people.
All in all a really lovely time was had by all with lots to see and do within 30 minutes drive. Go visit you'll like it. Just remember to choose the right time of year and avoid weekends in the summer if you like a really quite time.

Can't fault this site.
The site is beautifully kept, and well laid out. The toilet blocks are immaculate. A friendly warm welcome upon arrival. The shop is small but well stocked, and there is a supermarket nearby.

The first time we have visited this 'spot on' site.
We are a family of four with two kids aged 15 yrs and 12 yrs.
Our family stayed over the May Bank Holiday for 4 days and arrived on a lovely sunny Friday afternoon as the kids had a half day at school.
Very friendly arrival by the owner who was in the shop/reception. Well stocked small shop with newspapers and local info to hand. Morrisons supermarket a 5 minute drive away.
Large wide pitches separated by hedges. Good EHU. Water tap shared by every two pitches. Extremely well maintained site. Smooth paths for kids to whizz around on their bikes and scooters. Large play areas which include football pitch/basketball/tennis courts/table tennis. Play park for small children on fenced sand area.
Two shower/loo blocks at each end of site. One is brand new with 4 family rooms. Both modern/clean and spotless. Good warm showers.
Two dish washing facilities, one outside undercover and one indoors. Washing machine/dryer available.
Good size heated outdoor swimming pool. No additional charges. We had a lovely swim time. There is a flume which is operated during certain times for a few hours. Baby pool. Sun loungers/picnic benches/table tennis and changing rooms available. All clean and well looked after.
Small fishing lake. (£4 per day) We (well hubby !) caught 6 small to medium common and mirror carp. The kids were even impressed and that doesn't happen often ! We had a lovely sunny spot.
You can walk to the beach in about 10/15 minutes through static caravan area and farmers field. There is a few ways to go. This is a natural beach location. Grassy sand dunes with wild bird conservation. High winds. Super for kite flying which we did. The beach is reached by going down steps built within the cliffs. No good for buggies/pushchairs or elderly folk.
On site there is a low key bar with a couple of pool tables. During our stay one night had bingo and the other a female vocalist. Reasonable prices.
Overall the whole site had a really pleasant feel about it. All fellow campers were respectful of each other and friendly. No noisy neighbours for us. I cannot find fault with this site at all ! I have tried. ;] Kids would of liked a games room / air hockey / pin ball machine. That sort of thing buts that's it.
We are off to France for the summer but will definitely return for a short break sometime.
Happy Camping everyone !
