Friendly, spacious and with hot showers. Wayne G. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The space to pitch up, the availability of fresh water in numerous locations and plenty of hot water. Disliked: I expected from the name "Haw Wood" for a wood for the children to play in but alas there is no such wood. |

Lovely setting & extremely helpful owners Anna R. (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Lovely rural setting, very friendly and helpful staff. Laid back vibe. Good location near to many local attractions. Disliked: Toilet blocks a little dated and at times a little dirty, but all the amenities were there.

Very peaceful setting and within spitting distance of Southwold. Rob B. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The tranquility and location, easy to find and so close to the coast. Cyclists paradise! The owner (and dog) are extremely friendly and accomodating, nothing was too much trouble. We had a great time with plenty of space for our pitch. Looking forward to returning when the fishing lake is finished. Disliked: A bit pricey.

Thanks for the comments Rob & nice of you to give "Henry" (named after the vacuum cleaner, you didn't meet Dyson the labrador) a mention. We do have an on-lead policy on the site but I'm about the guiltiest person of all as Henry loves to socialise by playing ball with the kids & share a BBQ with anyone he can. He's the friendliest dog I've ever known with people & other dogs alike & the number of friends he's made out-weighs the very few complaints I've had to keep him off the site. I've adopted the rule that I'll make efforts to keep him off the site & round him up if anyone complains, With this in mind, If you are thinking of making a booking & don't fancy a four-legged guest for breakfast, let me know & I'll keep him off the site. If, on the other hand anyone would like a part-time pet during your stay, I'm sure he'd be absolutely delighted!! All the best, Dave. |

We will be returning! Iris C. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Haw Wood has a relaxed inviting atmosphere, we could park wherever we liked. The site was flat and the surrounding countryside/farmland added to the feeling of 'being away from it all'. It was Easter (the coldest for 50 years!) so there were only a few families and couples, consequently the site was quiet - which suited us. The dog walking area was huge! Disliked: The shower and toilet block were ok. If we were to give it a star rating it would be 2/3. The water was instantly hot and toilets clean. Wonder how it will cater for large numbers in the summer - there might be queuing for the for showers given the capacity of the Park?
From the manager...
Thankyou Iris, lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay even though the weather was so poor. The site's even nicer when it's warm! I'm glad you mentioned the lack of rules, it's a policy, Sue & I intend to maintain. If we could print just one sign to hang on the entrance gate saying: "SITE RULES, don't be daft". we would. All we ask is that people respect our site, other people, give the sinks a bit of a rinse after use, spend a couple of quid in the shop & say hello to the resident campsite dog "Henry" if you see him. Thanks again & see you again soon. Dave & Sue. |

Much improved. Jaylay30 (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: This was only our 2nd family camping trip so i dont have much to compare to. Disliked: While the shower block has been updated the showers they are small with no where to putyour clothes. There isna hook on the wall so make sure you take a bag to hang on it. There are also only2 showers so i can imagine it gets busy. The furthest point from the showers is about 200m. One night the showers were a bit cold. The staff apologised and saidmthey were having trouble with the water pressure.

We are working hard to make improvements at Haw Wood Farm with a list of on-going projects. This included re-plumbing & re-furbishment of the existing toilet block. Managers Dave & Sue have focused efforts on maintaining the relaxed atmosphere & have been pleased at the feed-back from customers both old & new. Thankyou for al your comments, they are very much appreciated. Dave & Sue. |

Could be a good site, but left a lot to be desired jopjs (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Pitches were of a reasonable size. Disliked: Toilet blocks - many of the toilets did not flush right, often there was no toilet paper, and the whole blocks looked as if they needed at the very least a very good clean.
From the manager...
Thankyou for taking time to add your comments. As a result we have addressed the issue by re-plumbing & re-furbishing the existing toilet block. The work included new toilet flushing systems, locking, industrial toliet roll dispensers, new showers & water tanks to maintain water pressure & temperature. Dave & Sue. |
