  • Adults-only, dog-friendly touring park for caravans and motorhomes
  • A 20-minute drive from Southwold and the Norfolk Broads
  • Wooded area for dogs; a 20-minute walk from pubs and shops in the town
Is it quality time you’re looking for around Southwold, the Norfolk Broads and other top Suffolk and Norfolk spots? Halesworth Holiday Park is in Suffolk, but it's well placed for all sorts of outings in both Suffolk and Norfolk – it's 20 minutes’ drive from Southwold and The Broads, with destinations like Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Great Yarmouth further out. It's an adults-only set-up at this place, but dogs are welcome too (kept on a lead at all times and cleared up after, the site requests). The small wooded area at the rear of the site is handy for those shorter dog walks, and the coast and The Broads have more to offer on that front. How about those post-walk meals and ales? For that, take a 20-minute walk into Halesworth, a pleasant little town with pubs (and shops too). Halesworth Holiday Park is also five minutes’ drive away from a 190-acre golf course when you fancy teeing off. On site, facilities include a washing-up room, grey and brown wastewater disposal points, bins for rubbish and recycling, a long freshwater hose and a service point with a wastewater drain. There’s also a toilet block with ladies and gents loos, a good-quality shower and a disabled wet room that includes a toilet and shower, all with underfloor heating.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Easy drive in and set up. Shower facilities clean and functional.

Disliked: Close to main road with heavy traffic - not really a ‘peaceful’ stay. Narrow pitch width resulting in having to access caravan across muddy grass after heavy rain - very messy. A couple of unkempt caravans permanently sited - probably belonging to contractors but somewhat unsightly for a leisure stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We have had heavy rain for some time, most sites in our area have had to close because of it. Normally the grass is fine to walk on. We cant stop our customers from having unkempt caravans. We do not have contractors on our site.

Very nice site though and staff very friendly

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: We found out on the way to the venue that the pub was closed due to current economic climate ( A one line email ) . When we arrived a sign said check in at the bar ( which was closed ) so was unable to do so . We looked around to find someone to check in with but no one was round only dogs barking . We just pitched up after our 3 hour drive to get there stayed one night but ( just wanted to get out of dodge ) booked for 2 during our stay no one came out to apologize or greet us . IF it said in the site description I wouldn't have booked this site and believe it was being very dishonest in luring unsuspecting travellers to travel there . Total waste of time DO NOT BOOK TO STAY HERE . If I could put no stars I would .

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The showers were clean & tidy.

Disliked: Pitches were small so when we opened our door we stepped out onto the wet muddy grass. The pub was only open fri lunch tome then again in the evening, sat & sun for few hrs, the site is situated just of a roundabout in the middle of nowhere & no bus route, so very isolated.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It was a period of extreme rain fall and most sites were closed in the area. We were able to keep open due to the layout of our site and the hard standing roads all round but there has to be some grass it cant be all hard standing. We are sited about 20 minuet walk from the town and normal town facilities. I would also question your ratings, you rated us 2 for cleanliness but in your liked comments.

Local attractions

Boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding or birdwatching on The Broads (20 minutes’ drive) take your fancy? Pedalling down the waterside trails there instead? Or taking your binoculars out to go birdwatching around the waterways or at RSPB Minsmere (25 minutes)? In Southwold (20 minutes), there’s a different scene, including beach huts and a restored Victorian pier. A short stroll along the river Blyth gets you to a foot ferry that visits Walberswick across the water. In the village, pastimes include crabbing off the riverbanks and bridge or having a nice brew in one of the tea rooms. Covehithe Beach (20 minutes) is a rather peaceful sandy stretch for a quieter beach day. However, those of you who prefer more action may want to visit Great Yarmouth (45 minutes) instead. Museums, an aquarium and sailing yacht hire are part of the highlight reel in that seaside resort. An itinerary from this site shouldn’t forget Norwich (45 minutes) either, where there's a medieval cathedral, Norman castle and local museum… plenty of history to keep you going.
