Liked: Great open space, flat ground, clean facilities and a brilliant location right by the sea. We're returning campers and will keep returning :)
Disliked: There was an issue with the hot water which was being looked at but wasn't fixed during our stay so cold showers all round :(

Liked: On arrival was greeted by friendly reception staff and Warden came up to us at the pitch to help orientate us to the Camp and surrounding area, a lovely personalized touch.
Great well laid out site, bus stop outside so great to go explore with a day pass, Southwold definitely a place to go visit.
Good on-site amenities including kids play area, on-site Fish & Chips and a breakfast van, laundry facilities etc.
Beach accessible from site and is lovely.
Pubs a mile or so in each direction from site entrance.
Toilet and shower facilities spotless and cleaned regularly, will happily return.
Disliked: Showers have silly timer button that are annoying please change them to longer duration and have the ability to change water temperature.
Wi-Fi should be free not chargeable put the pitch cost up if needed, as phone signal is terrible.
