  • Quiet and family-friendly eco site set out as a wildlife garden
  • Well placed for the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside and coast
  • Eggs, apple juice and other local produce available for sale
Green Haven Camping has a greatly convenient setting, just the ticket for investigating the best of the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside – and an easy drive from the Suffolk seaside at Southwold and among market towns, heaps of hikes and plenty of good English pubs. The owners of this eco site are developing it as a wildlife garden where people can pitch rather than a formally laid out site, to make a relaxing and secluded environment for camping. The camping area is in a field with grass kept long between pitches and along the site path, and plenty of native hedging and plants have been added to create hidden habitats for wildlife (and guests). To help with the peaceful vibe, the parking area is kept separate from the pitches and cars can tow their caravans on and off the site. A garden trolley is provided for you to cart your tent and kit to your pitch. (The parking area is only a few metres from the camping area, but if this might be an issue for you, let the Green Haven team know in the 'Special requests' box when you book.) Green Haven has a modern, clean and airy unisex toilet block with underfloor heating, wash facilities and showers, and a covered washing-up area. The toilets are flushed with harvested rainwater and much of the electricity on the Green Haven site is generated by their own field-mounted solar panels. There are also good recycling and composting facilities, as guests are encouraged to produce as little landfill waste as poss. The site also has a small reception area with lots of info on what to see and do all around, and its own eggs, apple juice and other local produce available for sale as well as camping supplies. Orders can be taken for fresh milk supplies and a nearby dairy provides yoghurts, butter and ice creams. A friendly pub is just up the road. Green Haven want guests to have as great a time as possible and are always making new developments, so if you have any comments or suggestions, just let them know when you stay.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We loved this small, well organised, quiet campsite. The pitches are clearly marked and a good size. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The washroom was small and exceptionally clean with hot showers that were solar heated. There was a lovely small shop selling local produce which was very tempting, especially the ‘Gnaw’ chocolate! It is well situated to visit both Norfolk and Suffolk. We really enjoyed our two nights despite the rain! Thank you ☺️

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Really quiet and friendly campsite in a great location, close to a fab pub and quick drove to Halesworth. Excellent quality breakfast baskets, kind hosts, and clean facilities with the added bonus of being eco-friendly.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks very much for your kind review. We appreciate you taking the time. We're glad you enjoyed your breakfast basket. It was good to talk birds and beetles with you! I hope you had a great visit to RSPB Minsmere too. Hope you might come and camp with us again.
Thanks, Katherine

Liked What an incredible find this site was!
Everything is absolutely perfect.
The showers and toilets are cleaned regularly and the water is piping hot.
The honesty shop is stocked with wonderful treats and essentials.
There are also two fridge/ freezers for guests to use.
The hosts are so friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough to help.
The location is great for exploring beautiful Suffolk.

Disliked The fact we don’t live nearer and we could visit more often!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind review. They mean a lot to us. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you can come back again - maybe next year. There are lots of wonderful places to explore in Suffolk, and we're pleased you found us to use as your base for a few days.
Take care, Katherine

Yet again, like our last visit, we can’t fault this site and its hosts

Local attractions

Stick to gentle countryside or beach strolls, or pootle along to more formal attractions like Sutton Hoo and the castles at Framlingham and Orford. The city of Norwich is about 45 minutes away. The beaches of the Suffolk coast including Southwold, Aldeburgh and Lowestoft are half an hour or less away and are popular days out in the area for Lowestoft Lighthouse and the most easterly part of the UK at Nees Point; the famed Southwold beach chalets and pier, and festivals and the arts centre Snape Maltings at Aldeburgh. Birdwatching buffs can take their binoculars to nearby RSPB Minsmere, or to Walberswick, to spy specimens among the heath and marshlands. The latter has a good beach for crabbing too – and you might also catch sight of a celebrity resident in the surrounds: rich peeps live here… The Broads of Norfolk and Suffolk are a main draw for visitors to this part of England and a boat trip along their 120 miles or so of waterways is very much a must. Wildlife and fishing trips are also easy to arrange. Dunwich and Beccles are a mere two of the villages and market towns around the region: leaf through the tourist brochures at Green Haven to find details of these and of local walks, swimming, horse riding, heaths and gardens to see.
