Westwood Caravan Park

Westwood Caravan Park, Suffolk's premier Touring Caravan & Camping site is situated just outside the pretty village of Bucklesham, in the heart of the beautiful Suffolk countryside, yet easily accessible from the A12 and A14. A brand new site, having opened Easter 2007, we are only 5 miles from the coast of Felixstowe and 6 miles from Ipswich town. Our modern-day shower and toilet facilities are second to none, along with a spacious, separate disabled toilet/shower-room and an outside washing up area with hot running water. Hard standing seasonal pitches available, Hire fleet is available 2x 4 birth caravans for hire, Wifi internet access on site Our reception area has a small shop to accommodate your basic camping and caravanning necessities. Wake up in the morning to see horses grazing in the farmer's field next door, or to hear the sound of a pheasant calling! We have a separate area for the kids to play ball-games, and a designated dog-walking area around the perimeter of the site. If you're feeling more energetic, there are numerous footpaths in the area! There are plenty of pubs/restaurants to choose from, including the popular Maybush Inn where you can look out at the boats on the River Deben whilst enjoying your food and wine!
