Tents and caravans parked on the pitches

Well-maintained and green site five miles from the Suffolk coast
Lake and nature trail on site
On-site village shop and off-licence; pub 10 minutes' walk away

Travel five miles inland from the sunny Suffolk coastline and you’ll arrive at this little gem on the outskirts of Wenhaston. The gorgeous, well-maintained grounds at this smart site are just part of the attention to detail all around the park, which has been carefully laid out by the friendly and helpful owners. There's greenery all around here: this small and pretty site has its own nature trail and lake, and is surrounded by acres of countryside for hikes and rambles. If walking isn't your thing, hire bikes from the Southwold Bike Centre (20 minutes' drive away) to pedal around the flats of Suffolk; horse riding's pretty popular in the area too, or you could go golfing at Halesworth Golf Club five minutes' drive away. Taking things (much easier), the local pub is a 10-minute walk down the road. Heathside Caravans has a village shop and an off-licence on site for those holiday essentials, and a well-maintained shower block for guests' use. For more supplies. the village of Halesworth is under 15 minutes' drive away and Aldeburgh, Snape and Beccles are all within half an hour.

A view from the southwold pier along the sea front.

A view of the main facilities block at heathside.

A view down the main field for pitches, campervans and caravans at heathside.

A view down the right field with shepherd huts and glamping pods at heathside.

A view of the boating options at thorpeness.

A view of the bell inn at waberswick just a short walk from the lovely beach.

Large field so we could all have a game of football without hitting people’s tents and cars.

Glamping Pod

Liked: Beautiful location. Very tranquil and relaxing. Glamping pods were spaced out nicely and were clean & tidy. Children enjoyed the open space playing football and using the small park.
Ideal for a cosy time away from it all. On site was a handy convenience store & BBQ's. Karen & her staff were very welcoming & super friendly.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked: Lovely large site with plenty of space, great little shop and very friendly and helpful staff. Pitch size was good and amenities fine. Check in and check out was great, all in all a lovely site.

Disliked: The only thing would be a couple of hooks in the toilets near the wash basins to hang towels. The sink area is quite restricted and these would really help.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked: A great site, pitch was full service pitch very quiet site when we visited.

The site was clean and tidy, and has a shop. We didn't use the shop.

There are fields for children to play in with badminton, football goals, table tennis table all ready to use.
There is also a play area for children and again all clean tidy and the grass neatly cut.

The gents toilets and showers were clean and presentable, 1 urinal, 1 cubical and a shower. There is a sign telling you to also use the disabled toilet and shower if available.
The CDP was along side the loos with water to flush.
Didn't use the wifi so unable to comment.

We will return,as the area has a lot to offer, but as most tourers we have many places to visit and revisit.

Local attractions

After all the walking, cycling, horse riding and golfing, get stuck into the area's history at the 12th-century fortress of Framlingham Castle, half an hour's drive away. Once the refuge of Mary Tudor, this fab place now has exhibitions, themed trails and an audio tour covering its centuries of history: enough to keep young Horrible Histories fans entertained too. Arty sorts will know that Suffolk is Constable country: if this is you, come armed with camera or paintbox to snap and sketch the countryside, harbour and coastal views around the area. You could also take a trip to art complex the Snape Maltings on the Alde river, for events, activities and evening entertainment in the concert hall. Seaside? But of course. Have a stroll around Southwold and its colourful beach huts, or drive half an hour north to Lowestoft for seaside amusements and Pleasurewood Hills, a nifty tucked away theme park with rollercoasters and attractions for all. Walberswick beach, around a 15-minute drive from Heathside, is a popular spot for crabbing. If you’re staying at Heathside for a while, set off early and spend the whole day on the Norfolk Broads (about an hour and 15 minutes' drive north, or drive south for around an hour and a half to the villages of Long Melford and Lavenham with their medieval timber-framed houses.
