 Have just spend 2 nights at this great touring and static park. The welcome was warm and friendly they were very helpful nothing seemed to much trouble.
The pitch was level and the toilet block had been recently refurbished to a high standard. Great park within walking distance of felixstowe town. We will definitely be returning easy acess just off the A14.

This site was easy to find being straight off the roundabout and the first on the left although we managed to miss it (!) but it was easy to turn around along the road once we'd realised this.
First impressions was that it was a HUGE site with lots of mobile homes on it and caravans and we thought it might be noisy but once you drove up the long entrance to the site it was very quiet.
The motorhomes and caravans park on a large flat grassed area and we did feel a little crammed in - the site owner said that it was unusually busy for that time of year - but it was very quiet of a night-time and the other campers were very friendly.
We needed an extra long EHU cable to reach the plug point which the site owners kindly loaned us (thank you!) and another camper helped us put the lead safely down the side of their awning so no-one fell over it!
Dogs are allowed but must be kept on the lead all the time and were free of charge but it wasn't a problem.
At the far end of the grassed area was the children's play area and most of the campers there were families so it was quite noisy of a day-time but quiet of a night.
The toilet/shower block was clean and free to use and the shower cubicles were big enough to hold a small party in! A £10 refundable deposit was compulsory to have a key to use the toilets and showers which was fine. There is a separate wash-up area but you have to pay for hot water.
At the far end of the site is a gate with code entry lock so you can walk into the town from there which was handy. We walked into town on our first night and along the sea front to the chip shop that was highly recommended. Judging by how busy it was they weren't wrong!
The site owners also had lots of leaflets about places to visit which was a nice touch.
We made our way to Viewpoint Road (where you can also visit Langard Fort) and parked up (it was free when we visited) and watched the containers being loaded/unloaded and all the shipping coming and going. You could spend hours just watching it all. Quite a sight! There is also a lovely area to walk around from the beach to the local nature reserve.
We went to Woodbridge Air Base which is a former cold war site and was very creepy but interesting to wander around - also free (sensing a theme here??) We also visited Thorpeness which is a pretty little village on the coast that has a windmill and 'the house in the clouds' which is also a holiday cottage. After we had a long walk with our dog on the beach area that was dog-friendly we sat by the village pond and watched others boating whilst eating ice-creams sold by the local shop.
We also visited the NT reserve at Dunwich Heath which has a great gift shop and the cafe was very popular.
We only stayed here two nights but if we want to visit Suffolk again then we'd recommend this as a touring base to anyone.

I cant say anymore about this gem of a caravan site. Liz has reminded me we have been visiting there now for the last ten years. As always the site is immaculately clean and tidy Best showers and toilets I ever seen on a touring camp site.
The staff as usual very pleasant and ready for a bit of banter at any time of the day.
Everything there is brilliant. I know its not too often that groundsmen get mentioned on a review so I shall just say the two guys here that look after the site always ready for a bit of fun and if you have any problems these two will always be there to lend a helping hand.
Now that just leaves me to say. Peewit see you again next year.

We chose this site as it was the same distance for us and family we were meeting up with. We were in our tourer and our family were in a tent. The site allowed us to pitch next to each other which was good.
The site was well kept and the toilets and showers were clean. If you go out the back gate and past lidl the sea front is only a short walk from there. Kids enjoyed the arcades and the beach. If you walk for a while either side of the pier you can take your dogs on the beach although it took a while for us to find out exactly where as not many signs.
We had a nice walk along the sea front and had takeaway on the way back. Very nice kebab shop opposite lidl that also did pizzas at a very good price. On the site there was a good mix of tents tourers and statics and had a friendly atmosphere.
Would visit again as there was still things in the area we didn't have time to do.

What an excellent camp site! The camping field was very tidy with toilets, showers and washing up facilities, all lovely and clean.
The reception staff were very helpful and told us where restaurants, shops and places of interest were.
Felixstowe is a really nice seaside place, we were lucky with the weather and had a thoroughly enjoyable few days.
We would recommend this site to campers and people looking for static caravan rental.
10/10!

I have been a visitor to Peewit for quite sometime now so its difficult now to say How wonderful this site is. We arrive this year in amongst some slight confusion but it was soon sorted out and Liz had run the small room key over to us after 135 mile trip to the site. As always the facilities were clean and tidy which is a treat compared to some sites we have been to. I would recommend this site to anybody its wonderful and I've said before there is no them and us with static owners and us as tourers.
I nice little touch this year way in and out with the barrier coded entry after 10. 00 a nice security measure.
All I can say is to the owner and gang thanks and see you again next year. Oh and mustn't forget the grounds men they know who they are. Top Men

This is our 2nd visit this year and probably the 4th altogether. This was by far the best and we will definitely be going back. The site is spotless, with beautifully kept grounds, a range of activities for both the static owners and touring campers to enjoy. This is probably the friendliest site we have ever visited, with nothing being to much trouble. The toilet and shower facilities are good with ample hot water whatever the time of day, there is a dog walking area and plenty of bins too! there is also bins to put your recycling something other parks definitely lack! Also there is the reception which sells a few sweets for the children and milk, ice-cream etc. If you need more than this then Morrison's is up the road or at the top of the road is the local Premier shop which is open from 6am-midnight
The seafront is no more than 15 minutes walk, there is a decent market on Sundays and bank holiday Mondays and this year as we have discovered a decent little shopping centre, we can honestly say the shop assistants were some of the most friendly we have come across in a long time! I note some of the other reviews stated they had difficulty getting some tv channels we didn't have this problem at all and got a brilliant picture. An amazing weekend thank you to everyone at Peewit we will definitely be back. Oh one more thing, Peewit have rules as do every camp site but on this site they are not made to spoil your fun but are there for your overall safety, every member of the campsite team make sure they are adhered to so as not to ruin anyone's holidays but also keep everyone safe. Well done

This is the third visit for my dad and his partner, 8 days, with us visiting daily (we have just booked to stay here even though we live 5 mins away, it's that nice and well-positioned). The facilities are clean, the park gardens are beautiful and it's close to all local facilities. It is a 5 minute walk to the Sunday market (which also has amusements but they are twice the price of those further along the prom). The viewing point 12-15min stroll along the prom in the opposite direction and is popular with tourists and locals - you can watch the container ships by the shore or take a foot ferry to Harwich. It is also home to the Fort, Museum and a visitors centre opened last month. Downside: it doesn't get completely dark as docks are 24hrs -as is McDonalds at park entrance (plus or minus?)!
Pewits have a good range of activities and over the weekend raised over £1000 on a charity night; they are busy planning for an entry for the carnival in August and the site always enters a float.
Recycling facilities are good and pitches are level with a choice of hardstanding or grass.
TV: you can pay extra for a satellite as the docks do interfere with TV reception. With a Freesat dish you will get most channels but ITV is missing in most locations; if you have an arial with a booster you will get more but without a booster it will be a miracle if you get any!
The Dolphin pub is 3 mins away and reasonably priced - if you go to Lidl (see previous review for directions) then opposite is the Ordnance. The most popular pub in Felixstowe is the Alex on the seafront and there is a small nightclub nearby. For live bands a little further along there is the Cork - this has an upstairs balcony if it is a nice evening. By car go to Felixstowe Ferry if you like crabbing, fresh fish or walking along the marshes near the boats. On Sundays there is also the open top bus that tours around that stops there and also 5 minutes from Pewits.
There are a good range of takeaways in town but the best indian is in Walton High Street - Bombay Night. The Bounty chippy in Walton is the most popular for locals but Bugatti's a bit further down Walton High Street offers better value for money, has recently started doing pizzas that are gluten free and cooks with locally produced sausages. Chip shops along the front charge a premium (for much smaller portions) but are walkable from the site. Morrisons supermarket is close but ask on site for directions as there is a local short-cut that is not well signposted. It is much cheaper than Solar (the co-op). Sainsburys, Waitrose and Tescos superstores are all 15 mins drive but Asda is about 22 mins.
Petrol is usually 5p a litre cheaper at Morrisons than at Solar but Sainsburys or Tesco are cheaper by another 1-2p normally.
Do look at Felixstowe TV for local events as well as the tourist information site as not everything is listed there.
Felixstowe has a train service from the town centre to Ipswich (free bus with your ticket from the station to town), you can also hop on a train to Bury St Edmunds. Ipswich has park and ride facilities and a much bigger range of shops. Woodbridge is a lovely place to visit along by the water but easier by car.
There are caravan repair facilities nearby in Colchester Rd, Ipswich and at Martlesham Heath - both about a 15 minute drive.

I wanted a site that was walking distance from the beach and a small town, not commercialised but with good facilities. Peewit ticked all the boxes so I booked.
Slightly unusual, I was holidaying for 2 weeks in our tourer alone, as my husband and son were on a rugby tour in South Africa.
The site itself is beautiful, manicured grounds and immaculate washroom facilities.
There is a gamesroom for older children and a lovely playpark for the youngsters. Only foam balls allowed, which I like as our caravan cost a lot of money and tennis/footballs can dent! Although no clubhouse, there is a function room that hosted a family quiz night on a Saturday night and 2 weeks later, the famous Peewit Barn Dance was due, I would have liked to stay but had to reluctantly leave the day before.
I was made to feel welcome and safe by all staff and fellow holiday makers. Staff in the little electric buggies quietly keep an eye on everything without intruding, which was very re-assuring. The static caravan owners keep their plots so beautiful, with small gardens and hanging baskets and are so friendly.
I hardly noticed the noise from the container port, and it is very interesting to visit the port and Languard Fort is right next to it and so very beautiful!
I love the area, so beautiful and interesting and will be returning next summer so that my husband can lose himself in all the maritime history, that is abundant, as well as have a relaxing holiday at Peewit.
Thank you to all the very hard working staff for a wonderful holiday!

Who would have thought a site so close to the Port of Felixstowe could be so good. It is a beautiful site, secluded and sheltered by trees and you don't notice the noise of the dock unless you listen for it. It's a 15 minute walk to the seafront, and about 30 minute walk into town.
The touring field is level and well tended, and close to the shower/toilet block - which was spotlessly clean.
We only stayed for a weekend visiting family in the town - and will definitely be back again to this site. Unlike other sites, visitors were not excluded, and we spent a lovely day with our daughter and grandson.
The only downside for us was no clubhouse, but we had a very jolly evening at the Dolphin karaoke, just down the road.
