Good site if you like an unspoiled beach and wild rugged coast line on your doorstep. no faults with the site as usual a very typical good MCC site. Perfect for dogs. Pub close by very, very welcoming and friendly local people with lots going on. Didn't eat but looked like reasonably priced pub grub Also, Waterfront restaurant next door looked nice too. Used bus to Southwold, bus stop not far, only issue lack of footpath for first part of route. Southwold a delightful seaside town with the Adnams brewery shop and cafe one highlight and the pier (FOC) another too. Cycled into Lowestoft which was a brilliant path apart from first narrow path section but then all along the cliffs and onto the promenade. Stopped at Jolly Sailors pub, lovely spot and views. Lowestoft as expected, not the prettiest town in the world but clean and tidy and obviously trying hard to attract visitors. The Thai Shack for lunch in the old part of the town was fabulous. A tip we missed until we were going home, the nearest shop is actually a Nisa on the caravan park just down the end of the road, right turn out of campsite otherwise the Coop is quiet a long walk away but doable on a bike.
Nice site well kept hard standing is hard
Spent a week here nice site well kept.
The play area for the kids is very small and only has a climbing frame on it, could do with a few more things.
The toilets and showers are of a very good standard, plenty of water and elsan points around site.
The hard standing plots are hard and you need rock pegs to peg out your awning.
The last bit to get to the site is down a very narrow
Road with a 90% bend at the end.
The only downside of the site is that if the wind is in the wrong direction you get a nasty wiff from the sewage farm located behind the site.
Lovely site and the best CMC wardens we've encountered
Our first time in Suffolk and this site met all our expectations. The shower and toilet block needs a refurb to bring it into line with many other CMC sites but its location is hard to better. The vast shingle beach is a minute's walk away and there is access to a nature reserve within twenty minutes walk.
We explored lots of the local area, Southwold, Dunwich, Beccles and a short trip to Lowestoft. The towns are nothing to shout about, being a bit isolated and/or run down, but the outskirts of Lowestoft clearly has a lot of investment going in. Beautiful rural landscapes abound. With an OS map great walks are easy to find from the site or with a short drive.
If it is peace and quiet you want, don't come while schools are out - barking dogs and shouty kids. It's a popular family holiday area. It is, however, the only site I have ever heard lions roaring at 4 in the morning, from the nearby Africa Alive attraction. Magical.
Great place
Always a great place.
5th visit and still the same.
Abbey loves her times here.
See you again
As always brilliant site.Cannot fault the staff and their efforts to make your stay comfortable and memorable.
Always a brilliant site to stay at Bravo.
Peaceful site
Very well maintained and peaceful site, good bus routes to Southwold and Lowestoft, great beach walks and close proximity to nature reserve , first time I had heard a skylark in the uk in years. There are some negative comments on the site reviews about Lowestoft and I agree the town centre is a bit run down but I think many town centres are struggling these days, however the promenade and beach are very well maintained and the sands immaculate. The toilet block on this site desperately in need of refurbishment, although they are kept clean, tiles cracked and shower controls with flaking plating. Sailors home pub very welcoming, decent pub grub at a reasonable price, Waterfront restaurant, which came well recommended but please note closed Mondays

Excellent site in a convenient location
First time to Suffolk and used this site for a 2-night stay.
Though the weather was bit cool, the site itself was great and well situated for exploring the area. The site facilities are all good and up to the usual Club standard.
A good restaurant as well as a pub which serves food are located just outside the camp grounds.
We'll be back, probably more than once!
Recommended.

Peaceful weird part of the world
Stayed here for 3 nights from 30th April. Great location on the beach side. Unfortunately weather not great but we did walk along the beach a few times and even managed to find some amber.
Site facilities all round are great. Local pub the Sailors Rest is superb value for money and the quirkiness adds to the atmosphere. Do visit the time warp that is Southwold, and the coastline south towards Aldeburgh, Also try and take the tourist route into real Suffolk. Don't go to Lowestoft it's an awful place!
Happy Stay
Just returned from a very nice stay of 5 days, weather good for us as we like walking so not to hot or cold, lovely pitch (98) in a sheltered corner, site is very quiet and you can hear the waves breaking over the stoney beach, wonderful. Staff very friendly and efficient, site really kept clean and tidy. We visited the RSPB site at Minsmere during our stay using the Great Saving vouchers which meant we had free entry, well worth a visit even if not really interested in wildlife, as we are, as they have three really nice walks of around 2 miles each. Also visited Southwold and Aldeburgh both worth a visit.
Overall very pleased with the site and surrounding area, will visit again at a different time of year to get the change of season.
