Peaceful site
Family meal
A quiet spot

  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Absolutely lovely campsite . Small, and quiet with nice flat pitches, and nice clean shower block. Well stocked shop. Great hosts. We arrived without the poles for one of our tents (oops) so they lent us a tent .
Good local pub with darts and pool table

Disliked: No mirror in the wash block?

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The calm peacefulness of the campsite is lovely for relaxing in the day or evenings. The site hosts were friendly and helpful, and provide lots of amenities such a fresh local produce, campfire baskets and logs, fridges and freezers. The facilities were excellent and very clean. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend to anyone else.

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.
