What customers say
This well-kept campground has roomy sites, spotless facilities, and kind staff. It's perfectly located for beach access via cliff steps, with lovely views. Food trucks are a hit, and nearby grocery stores are handy. A few guests had shower temp/Wi-Fi trouble or noted occasional noise/crowds. Good value overall.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Level pitches, plenty of space
Good amenities, toilets and shower block cleaned regularly
Good access to and around site
No kids ourselves but good parks and play areas for the kids
Excellent location views from cliffs are stunning
Actually quiet at night despite what our expectations were given a family site
Disliked Bacon / breakfast van very expensive and poor food (also lacked manners). Roll was very dry and did not appear to be fresh
Sited vans in our area were quite arrogant and tried to be funny with you. We ignored them but I can see some being uncomfortable.

Lovely campsite with great facilities, spacious pitches
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We stayed as a group of 4 adults and 2 children, using two tents, and really enjoyed our stay.
The pitches were a great size, and you could choose where you wanted to pitch up. The campsite was much larger than we are used to, with numerous fields dedicated to caravans and campervans, as well as two separate fields for tents. Check-in was easy, and there is a coded barrier when entering the site. All the relevant access details were sent directly from the campsite before our arrival, which made everything very straightforward.
There were plenty of facilities available on site, including a fish and chip van, a coffee van and somewhere to get breakfast. There was also a freezer where you could freeze your cool boxes, as well as a 24-hour laundrette. The toilet and shower facilities were cleaned regularly, with two family rooms in each toilet/shower block. The family showers allowed you to adjust the temperature, while the main showers operated with push-and-hold buttons. The main showers also had an attached changing area with a bench, which was useful for keeping your belongings dry while showering.
There were mops and squeegees available so you could clean up after yourself, although unfortunately not everyone did. This isn’t the site’s fault, though — we should all take responsibility for leaving shared facilities as we would expect to find them. There were also washing-up facilities and taps providing fresh drinking water.
For children, there was a play park and a sports field, which gave them plenty to do. The campsite is situated on a cliff top with direct access to the beach, which is around 50 steps down from the site.
One thing to be aware of is that the campsite does accommodate large groups. If you’re looking for somewhere particularly quiet or peaceful, this is worth considering. During our stay, we had a very large group of 50+ people around us. They spread out into the surrounding space and played volleyball and other games around our tent. We certainly wouldn’t begrudge them enjoying themselves, but it did become a little frustrating when the ball repeatedly hit our tent and cars — particularly when this started happening at around 7am! Again, though, this isn’t really the campsite’s fault.
The location is very convenient. Just a couple of minutes up the road there is an Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, The Range and various fast-food options, including Pizza Hut, Subway, Greggs and McDonald’s.
We also travelled around 15 minutes to Southwold beach, which was lovely, and around 15 minutes in the other direction to Lowestoft beach. Both had very different vibes but were equally enjoyable.
There is lots to do in the surrounding area, with plenty of attractions, beaches and days out within a short drive.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The campsite had spacious pitches, good facilities, easy access to the beach and a great location for exploring the surrounding area.
Disliked This is purely down to personal preference, but we tend to prefer smaller campsites that don’t allow large groups, as large groups can become a little overwhelming for one of our children who has sensory issues. However, this is very much a personal preference and not a criticism of the site. Other than that, we had no real issues during our stay and found it to be a lovely campsite.
