 We visited Southwold on a windy weekend at the start of June, 4 adults and mother-in-law.
The site was clean and tidy, two shower blocks, both with free hot water, although a couple of us had rather chilly showers on a couple of occasions.
Not much for sale in site reception, but the site had a mobile shop which visited the site every morning. Also as it's only 10mins walk from the lovely village centre, with 2 little supermarkets, groceries weren't a problem.
The site is ideal for those who enjoy beach fishing, as we do, due to close location to the beach. Unfortunately the fish weren't biting this weekend!
I agree with another reviewer about the price of beer - you need to take a full wallet if you want to really enjoy yourself!

Spent yet another fab weekend in Southwold, the loos and showers are ok but during school holidays and sunny weekends they are a bit of a mess and the hot water wasn't working in the ladies showers. No playground on site but who needs one when you have a fabulous sandy beach over the road from the camp site and crabing in the harbour just around the corner.
The town is so pretty and interesting with well kept houses and lovely little shops to browse around in. The pier has a fabulous work of art in the clocktower and makes everyone laugh, with good shops (a bit pricy) and an alternative amusement arcade it worth the stroll.
Small fair on village green May 1/2 term and circus at the back of the town in summer. Pubs all seem very busy but not much going on after 9 in the evening. Will go back time and again as always.

The good bits. Location is excellent. Site is flat, a bit lumpy (campers beware!) and because of the rabbits. Plenty of rabbit poo! Plots are a good size and have now been well marked out.
Plenty of places to buy fresh fish and also one for fish and chips along by the harbour. Southwold is a nice enough little town if a bit over priced. Walberswick is worth a look.
As for the bad bits. Toilets filthy - mopped out once (well the mud on the floor was pushed around!) but never actually cleaned. Only managed a hot shower once in the 3 days we were there. Broken toilet - no attempt made to mark it as 'out of order' so the smell got pretty nasty. Ran out of toilet paper in both ladies and gents. Staff not particularly helpful to us.
The pond on the camp site is full of rubbish, shame really as it could be a great little feature

My husband, one year old son and I spent a night at this site last weekend and were thoroughly impressed.
Although no electric hook up, the facilities were clean and a lot of people on the site were impressed with just how hot the showers were!
The staff at reception were friendly and helpful.
The location is perfect and is about 10 minutes walk from the centre on Southwold. Wonderful views. Great shops, cafes, pubs, pier and beach.
A lovely walk in the morning, running parallel to the coastline and suitable for buggies.

Went to the campsite for Easter. We often go to Southwold but the campsite seems to have gone down hill from last year. The toilet block was not in use on the camping field, they never got cleaned all weekend and showers were cold.

Have just returned home from spending 2 nights here and was very disappointed.
There was no hot water or electricity in the toilet and shower block nearest to where we were camping, so we had to walk to the other side of the site where although there was electricity there was no hot water either! One of our party managed a luke warm shower, but the rest of us had to freeze or remain stinky.
The toilets and showers were dirty, they weren't cleaned the time we were there, despite it being Easter Weekend so very busy.
If it weren't for the location of the campsite to the centre of Southwold I would never stay here again.

This site is perfectly situated for Southwold, a 15 minute seaside walk to the pier. However, anyone considering booking should consider the following. Firstly, the charging system. The site charge is £10:30 per night. Then £2.30 per adult (£14:90), £1:30 per child (£17:50) then £3.60 for a pup tent (that you mustn't use for sleeping) (£21:10) and £3:60 for a canopy or awning (24:70 per night). We omitted the pup tent and the awning, which brought the cost down, but were then told by a regular to put them up after 5pm when the staff went home!
Secondly, the pitches are rectangular with a number plate in the south west corner. You must pitch in the opposite corner. Hence the grass in this corner is worn and lumpy. You get told off if you pitch elsewhere!
Finally, you must like rabbits . There are loads of them.
If you go to Southwold, visit the tourist information centre and pick up a 'Days out in Suffolk' brochure. In it are 4 vouchers for a free pint with a meal at an Adnams pub. Worth it at the prices they charge!

Have visited this site twice, once in May this year and September last year. Although I understand that this site gets very booked this wasn't the case for us and we were able to book a couple of days in advance. There was plenty of room in the field although the indiviual pitches are not that big. If you were to stay here in high season I think the site would have a very different feel and could be a bit cramped. Facilities are basic with no electrical hook up and toilet and showers in need of an update. That said the location makes up for this with fantastic views, just over the road from the beach and within walking distance of everything that Southwold has to offer. Southwold is beautiful with lovely shops, restaurants and cafes. The pier is great and well worth a visit. The beaches are clean. Staff were very friendly on both visits. Will go back again for weekend visit.

Our visit to this great site was to celebrate our friends 50th. The location is superb with many walks around the area. The beaches at Southwold are family friendly however the sea is cold. With good views of the sea front a must is the interesting walk along the pier.
Although there are no shops on the camp site it is only a sort work along the front to a good mix of shops and places to eat, plus a milk man calls each morning around 9.30am with lot of bits and bobs.
Our group are from different parts of the country and it was good to meet up and celebrate the 50th with a few pints of Adnams, the local beer. We loved it so much that we intend to make it an annual event.

This was the first time my husband and I have visited this site together, we both used to visit regularly as kids so it was a bit of a nostalgia trip.
The site itself is lovely, just across the road from the beach and has gorgeous views of Southwold across the fields. The pitches are a decent size and the staff were really friendly, but the showers and toilet blocks are looking a bit tired; (the ladies were really clean with plenty of soap and paper, although apparently the same can't be said for the gents!) and could do with a few more showers and maybe the odd heater here and there to justify the 15 quid a night fee!
We were going to go to the Harbour Inn for dinner on Friday, but arrived too late so went to Casa Mia - just up the road from the campsite. It's not a pub as such, more of a wine bar (they have bottled beers including bitters), but they do fabulous pizzas and pasta dishes and serve food until 11pm - a major bonus as virtually everywhere seems to stop serving at 9!
If we can get a pitch over the summer without having to book it 2 months in advance I'm sure we'll go back, but the site's so popular now I'm not convinced that'll happen!
