What customers say
This well-kept site has direct beach access via steep stairs and stunning sea views from the cliffs. Guests rave about friendly staff, clean, modern amenities, spacious sites, and onsite food. Ideal for exploring the Suffolk coast. Some noted occasional noise and intermittent hot water issues in showers, which management has addressed.

A very enjoyable, quick, one night stop away to have a break.
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Stayed on the Seaside tent pitch, so can’t really comment on the rest of the park. Large open field with some grassed banks to provide areas to pitch up to, but complete free will where to pitch, no designated space. Level and clean.
Shower block was clean, although had an aroma.
Could have had fish and chips on-site from mobile van for dinner, but went out instead, and the on-site breakfast van which we would have used today was closed 🙁
Lovely to have access to the beach and really enjoyed just sitting on the benches supplied at the top of the cliff with a mug of coffee looking out at the view.
Disliked Young children running ‘wild’ still at 10:30 in the evening, but saying that England were playing in the World Cup this evening, and noise from children is to be expected 🤷♀️

Overall likes the peaceful site but it needs more for people to return
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The location and its proximity to the beach.
The facilities were very clean and the Warden was very helpful.
Disliked There was very little on the site itself and no clubhouse. There are great little coffee and breakfast cans but there needs to be more. Maybe like a small bar where you can get lunch or dinner and it would be more social.

Great place to stay, plenty of space
Anonymous Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Goodsized pitches, clean toilets/shower block. Friendly staff. Lovely walks along the coastal path along the cliffs. Buses outside run to Lowestoft, Southwold and Norwich and smaller villages in between. Quiet evenings with the 1100pm rule being adhered to (except the England football match night!)
Disliked No basin sink plugs or dish wash plugs, asked a member of staff and dish wash plugs had been ordered and were replaced later that day (although one disappeared overnight....why???). Very steep steps to beach.
