What customers say
Heathside Holidays gets a thumbs up for its top staff, lovely grounds and well-stocked shop. Reviewers loved the clean facilities, quiet vibe and plenty of room for kids to run wild. It’s a cracking spot for exploring the Suffolk coast and nearby sights. A few folks noted the loos and showers could be stretched during busy spells, and the Wi-Fi was a bit patchy. Still, heaps of guests reckon they’ll be back.

Excellent facilities, friendly staff, great location
Fully-serviced grass site
Liked Super facilities on site, shop very well stocked and staff very friendly and helpful.
Shower and toilet blocks very clean and loads of hot water which is great, washing up facilities super clean too.
Location is fantastic for visits to nearby attractions and the Suffolk coastline and this is a really good campsite to use as a base for visits and equally so for just chilling out and relaxing with its own nature reserve and fields to walk around.
Disliked Had to come home after visit… could have stayed much longer 😃

Weekend away at Heathside Holidays.
Glamping Pod
Liked It was a relaxing weekend at Heathside Holidays, we stayed in the Glamping Pod and one of the advantages was that we had the toilet and shower inside and another advantage was that we had a small but accessible kitchen and a small TV. The fridge is small so if you want more space to keep something cold it is better to bring a cooler. Around there is a lots of green space with a lots of activities.
The price seems a bit high considering you have to bring all camping equipment minus the tent (linen, sleeping bags, pillows, cooking equipment, etc.) and unfortunately during our entire stay we had no WiFi connection at all.
Considering that we pay such a price for a Pod, they should be more attentive to the small details such as for example: the table in the Pod has a broken part, the floor is damaged and the space next to the kitchen sink has a lot of marks and aesthetically it looks disgusting and the tap is full of limescale, the fire blanket is full of marks, a lots of cobwebs everywhere and you should do something with the WiFi connection because as I mentioned earlier we had no connection at all during our stay.
These are a few small details to solve but otherwise we had a pleasant stay.

Fantastic site in a great location with wide open spaces, perfect.
Fully-serviced grass site
Liked Fantastic open areas for games with daughters and grandkids who stayed in lodges close by. Area is well kept and touring pitches a good size with some privacy hedges between. No hiccups with water, waste or electric, all working fine. Great little shop on site and other ameanities great (could probably do with an extra gents cubicle if site fully occupied with 16 pitches but fine while we were there). Got a good welcome on arrival and staff friendly and professional. Great location for the Suffolk coast and Southwold only 15 mins by car. Great pubs all within a short drive. It’s our second stay in the last two summers and we will be back for sure. Thanks Heathside 👍
Disliked Need extra gents loo.
