  • 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.

Liked Absolutely wonderful. We had such a wonderful time at this campsite. It's tranquil, clean and has stunning views. This was our maiden voyage in our caravan and we couldn't have asked for more. The site is run by such a lovely friendly and helpful family. They were so accommodating and made us feel very welcome. We will most definitely return.

Disliked Nothing comes to mind, whished we could have stayed for longer

Liked We had a great time at GHC and enjoyed the peaceful site and the good washing and toilet facilities. There are some great walks from the site and lots of facilities near by. The on site shop is useful and fair.

Disliked Leaving. I could probably do with a wifi signal but that's a small detail.

Powered grass tent site

Liked We loved staying at Green Haven. A small campsite, but with plenty of space for pitches. The toilets and showers are always clean and saw Katherine cleaning there regularly during our stay. 7 minutes for the shower is ample, it's even made us think how long we take at home now! The honesty shop is great, especially helpful when you forget to get bread! Katherine was happy for us to move our stay forward a day, as I wanted to pitch before the yellow weather warning, thankfully the site was quiet at the time! The site is perfect for star-gazing, crystal clear skies most evenings, despite the daytime weather being quite poor (although probably not always the case!). A short walk from a lovely little pub and some lovely local walks through fields etc. and only 25 minutes from Southwold, which was just perfect for us. There's no WiFi and we didn't have great signal, so if you need to stay connected be aware of that, but for us, it encouraged a welcome break from devices and technology. We cannot wait to come back and stay again!

Liked Small but perfectly formed site

Facilities were spotless

Excellent value for money

Tranquil and very quiet, all other campers very respectful by 8pm you could hear a pin drop.

Beautiful sunsets some of the best I’ve seen in the UK.

The honesty shop is handy and if you don’t have cash you can arrange to pay via card before you leave.

Owners nice but not intrusive. Came round on our last morning and told us not to rush getting packed up as the site was quiet we could leave whenever we wanted which was nice.

5/10 minute walk to the nearest dog friendly pub. We didn’t eat there but other campers had and said it was lovely food.

Liked Perfect little campsite for our young family and dog. Friendly and helpful owners, great clean facilities and a useful honesty shop too. We made use of some of the lawn games available to borrow as well. Great base for exploring Suffolk, and we will hopefully come back some time!

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.
