Fantastic site in a great location with wide open spaces, perfect.
FHU grass campsite
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.

Glamping Pod
Liked Pod was very clean and tidy,we booked 1 pod and 4 huts all was well organised.
Disliked We had some bad experiences as we went there for fun and recreation but there was a lady next to us came and shouted with us in front of the kids,where we we not making any noise just doing BBQ and Pitch fire but obviously we were a big group .it was only 10:30 as you know summer time night starts very late so I think you should make your quiet zone at summer 12pm instead of 10 as we do glamping for pitch fire so we should get at least a bit time for enjoy.
From the manager: I'm afraid we had several complaint about the noise from your group very late into the early hours of the morning, the lady was quite right to ask you to keep the noise down at midnight!
All campsites have a 10.00pm noise curfew and we will continue with this this.

Liked Good sized pitches, lots of room for the kids to play and and explore, the shop is fully stocked with all the necessities at a good price
We loved our weekend stay. The place is so good for all…
Glamping Pod
Liked We loved our weekend stay. The place is so good for all ages and families there is so much green space for the kids to run around and alot of space for family games and football. There is a park and table tennis basket ball etc we brought all our own stuff for it. The kids loved it. The glamping pods are cozy and comfortable I love the fact they have a toilet and a shower beats having to go to a shower block. The site does have a shower block which my parents used they said it was perfectly fine and clean. The staff were so lovely so friendly. The place is so well kept..it is so close to some lovely places we visited southwold and Walberswick we didn't eat out this time bht it's very close to various pubs and restaurants . My parents had their dog and it was ideal for him with all the green space and a nature walk. Defo will.be returning.
Excellent site
FHU grass campsite
Liked Great site with lots of green space. Nice play area for children. Great pitch size with electric hook-up and water close by. Family friendly site. Very peaceful on the Thursday night.
Disliked It was a bit louder on Friday once lots of families had arrived. Some guests were being very loud in the early hours.
Great site very clean and staff very friendly

Noisy crowded site
FHU grass campsite
Liked site was clean and tidy as were the facilities; shop well stocked. Gladed area was pleasant to walk in, but too small - walk around was less than 1/4 mile.
Disliked Only one toilet and one shower (for each sex - ie 1 x male plus 1 x female) for a site of this size/Nos of people on site, is ridiculous; while we were advised we could also use the 'disabled' facility, this was too often also 'in use' and therefore unavailable.
Pitches were too close to each other. Noise levels on site were OK during day and early evening, but later in the evening noise levels rose and the loud voices and laughter going on into early hours of the morning, getting louder as the evening wore on (prob the alcohol kicking in ), were annoying and sleep depriving.
So much so, we left the site a day early;
also, when booking out, the female member of staff in the shop simply couldn't care less and was totally dis-interested/couldn't care less attitude.
A terrific, friendly, well organised and well positioned site.
