Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and helpful owner. Nice and spacious pitch. Good shower. Great WiFi. Lovely nearby walk along Angles Way from Harleston to Brockdish. Our son loved the vending machine and we loved the plant sale.

Disliked: Both toilets ran out of loo roll but we had some of our own so this was a really minor issue for us.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Waking up listening to woodpeckers in the trees around the site was the best Great place everybody was so accommodating the locals were so nice The pub had a charity coffee morning which was great and even though we broke down on-site they had no problem with us having to wait onsite for recovery on the day we left so we were later than usual leaving If you want a small site in a rural location then this is one of the best places you could go Great small site would definitely go back again

Disliked: Nothing

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Set in an Idyllic location, The Red Lion was a small,friendly sight which enchanted us during our stay. We were greeted warmly by our host , who showed us to our pitch. The pitch was a good size with newly layed turf . We loved to sit out and watch an array of birds flitting through the shrubbery around us. There were 2 toilets adequate for the camp size. There was always hot water , the shower was good and the facilities kept clean. The red lion pub served excellent food. Service was great, staff were attentive and the Atmosphere warm and inviting . It provides a good base to travel . Harleston was 6 minutes up the road with quaint and quirky shops, which we enjoyed browsing. There was a small market on Saturday, well worth a visit. Local Pub, The Cap had live music, and let's face it you can't beat live music! A short walk from the site were , platforms on a local stream where you could lauch your canoes from. Alternatively Captain Cooks Canoes allows you to hire canoes, kayaks and Canadian canoes 2o minutes down the road, if that's what you're in too. I would definable recommend this site and will be returning this year.

Local attractions

Activities on the river Waveney might have already given you a taste for the water… and if that’s the case, you can’t go far wrong with a beach day. While the valley scenery might suggest otherwise, the coast is within driving distance and that includes Southwold beach (45 minutes' drive), a sandy stretch with an amusement arcade on the pier and good windsurfing conditions, and Aldeburgh beach (55 minutes), known for its tasty fish and chips. Those of you who have kids fond of animals, Banham Zoo (half an hour) might be one afternoon out to add to the itinerary, while Camel Park Oasis (15 minutes) is another with camels in the limelight. And for a place with play areas and farm animals, Easton Farm Park (35 minutes) is your guy. To switch things up with a history-geared visit, you’ll have your pick of a few places, including the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum (10 minutes), The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum (10 minutes) for historical accounts of American involvement in World War II and Bressingham Steam & Gardens (25 minutes) for a steam museum and gardens… or steam train trip of your own aboard one of the trains that are in action.
