Green Haven Camping

A aimé Lovely camping field next to open countryside. Horses in the next field. Honesty box for basic supplies. Fire baskets available, though quite expensive for wood.

N'a pas aimé Not great facilities. Not keen on unisex toilets and showers, particularly when there are only two toilets and 2 showers for the whole campsite! You also need 50p coins for the showers.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to review us, we are pleased that you found our camping field attractive. However, we are extremely disappointed to receive such poor comments from you, and such low scores for everything. Reviews like this are extremely significant to our small, family run business and we spend time worrying about them.

We do state on our website that the shower block is unisex and that showers are 50p. As you will see from all the previous reviews, this isn't usually an issue. We have had a unisex shower block since we opened in 2014, as we felt it was the easiest way to provide facilities for as many people as possible, at any one time, with what was manageable for us to build. People can then use the showers as a family, or shower share, to save hot water. This seems to work well. 50p gives a 7 minute shower, which is plenty of time.

In looking back at the previous 10 reviews before yours, all of them mention how clean or good our facilities are. One of them specifically mentions that they never had to wait to use the facilities, even when the site was fully booked. We are only a small campsite and two showers and two toilets is plenty, especially when we usually have caravans and motor homes staying with us, who will make use of their own showers and toilets.

We are sorry that you have given the facilities 5/10 for cleanliness, and 1/10 overall. We do our best to keep everything as clean and tidy as possible. We can't monitor this all the time, but we clean twice a day, check on things many times a day and make it very clear to all guests that we live on site and are available, should they encounter any problems. We are extremely busy in the summer holidays, with our own children, other projects and other jobs but, as you will see from our reviews, we always take the time to meet and greet people and pop out to chat with everyone regularly. We are proud of our 10/10s for customer service and value for money and we are proud of our campsite too.

A aimé I visited for 1 night with my 7yr old. Great place for a family get together, away. The hosts were great. There was a meet and greet on arrival and they provided everything we needed from the fire basket and wood and clean facilities. The shower/toilet Block and washing up area was kept clean regularly. The shop provided cold storage free as well as local produce. 50p pieces were provided free for the shower, which were on a timer, but provided ample water for 2 people to shower. I would 100% return for another visit.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks so much for your helpful review. We're really pleased you enjoyed your 1 night stay. We hope your 7 year old was pleased to get the fire going, using his fire steel and the tinder.

The 50p coins are actually for exchanging for a pound coin, or for adding onto purchases from our little shop (they aren't free). However, as you say, this gives 7 minutes, which does give enough time for two people to shower. You can pay for everything in one go, with a contactless card payment, if you want to buy a few items from our Provisions Place, at the end of your stay.

We look forward to seeing you again.

A aimé Lovely small site. Good shower (50p for 7 mins which is plenty). Ordered breakfast provisions (eggs, sausages and rolls) which were very good. Friendly owners. The Rumburgh Buck (10 min walk) is very good for both food and drink.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're glad you enjoyed your breakfast provisions and found the showers good. The pub is great - an extremely friendly, traditional, local pub, so it's great to have it walking distance from the campsite.

A aimé Lovely little campsite with great facilities, very clean toilets and showers, little shop on site selling essentials.
Very friendly and accommodating owners.
Close to places like southwold and aldeburgh, great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.

A aimé pitches are really spacious and hedging adds privacy. Bathrooms were kept very clean and showers were good. Handy to have the communal fridge and fresh farm eggs each morning. I made use of the fire pit and logs for £7.50 - 2 bundles lasted 3 nights. Owners are friendly and helpful, especially with getting my tent back into the bag at the end of the trip!! :) Good pub only 5 mins walk down lane.

A aimé Green Haven Camping is just as it says - a haven of green in the Suffolk countryside. The owners are very friendly with someone always being on hand/there to answer the phone. We especially liked the way they made time each evening to wander the site checking on everyone and asking about their days. This was our second visit in our campervan, and the site was exactly as we remembered it from two years ago - clean, well looked after, and welcoming. The water is very hot, thanks to the solar panels. Showers are 50p for 7 minutes, but there are plenty of coins in the Honesty Shop. We never had to wait to use the facilities, even when the site was fully booked.

We will be returning yet again, for another restful break soon.

N'a pas aimé The local pub gets booked up for food very quickly!
