 We have been to this site a couple of times. Great site for exploring Suffolk coast.
Amenities are good and well looked after, pub on site serves reasonable food and there is a good play area for young children. You can walk down some steep steps onto the beach and the site is situated perfectly for great cycling through national parks.
Tents have their own small area which feels a little claustrophobic when busy. Prices are fair. Will be returning again.

Visited over the weekend of 5th/6th September. It had been raining heavily but the site was well drained and sheltered by the trees.
The facilities are excellent for the kids with a relatively new set of climbing frames and a small football goal set up. The beach was fantastic for exploring and a walk Dunwich only took an hour on the beach (with the kids running to and fro with the tide). There is a fish and chip cafe and toilet facilities at Dunwich to make the walk worthwhile!
We went 'crabbing' at Walberswick on Sunday (as recommended by the camp staff). The crabs were constantly biting although space was limited.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
The toilet block/showers were sparkling and cleaned often throughout the day. The washing up area was also well looked after.
There is a pub at the site that serves food throughout the day.
We will definitely be returning next year!

We stayed for 4 nights in May, it is a lovely site with nice views (through the trees) of the sea.
It has an excellent play area for children.
The shop was well stocked, however, didn't seem to have any definite opening/closing times. It was just luck of the draw as to whether it was open or not when you needed it.

Just back from a two night stay at this site we stayed monday and tuesday night and found the site to be very nice indeed. We stayed in the sunken garden area sheltered under the trees which is only a one min walk from the outstanding shower and toilet block. The male and female showers have three seperate showers each and we never had to wait at all.
There is a onsite bar and restuarant which is open all week and serves really nice food till 21.00. Not much local to walk to outside of the site so the onsite shop comes in handy and there is also a open bbq area for all to use.
The beach is only a couple of mins away with direct access from the site via some steps,the beach is stone and gravel so don't expect sand.All in all a very good site with power hookups washing up and shower facilities included in the price would happily stay at this site again.

We hoped to spend a relaxing 4 days at the site unfortunately this was not the case.
50 metres away 2 dumper trucks were digging a trench the full day and whizzing round the site above the 5 miles an hour speed limit. When I asked how long this noise would be going on for I was told another day. I complained to the manager who again was unhelpful and I was told they where getting ready for the bank holiday.
The next day they decided to strim the grass all day. We would have had a more relaxing peaceful time in our back garden and more sun as the pitches are either near a road or in the trees shaded from the sun. The site facilities are excellent although I got the impression all the owner is concerned about is making money with the bank holiday weekend coming up he had little regard for the camper on a mid week break and the price was not cheap to pay for a short break of noise and inconsideration.

We've just come back from a weekend (7 - 9 March 08) at this pleasant campsite. The site re-opened for the 2008 season on 1 March. A lot of work has been done to the site since we first visited in 2003. The pitches are now well marked out and the restaurant and bar are established, but we thought the drinks were expensive at £5.80 for a pint and a small glass of wine. Toilet and shower facilities are clean and well maintained, but we thought there might be queues for them when the campsite is full with tents and vans. If there is somewhere to do your washing up, we couldn't find it! A lot of the pitches with electric hookups are under trees, which is nice if you like shade but not good if you want to lie in the sun in the summer.
The site is on a cliff overlooking the sea and there are steps down to the beach from the campsite. We cycled by road to Dunwich and then along the beach to Southwold via Walberswick and back. This was hard work, as the path ran out very quickly after Dunwich and we had to drag our bikes over shingle and stone which is very exhausting! It would be easier to walk, would take just over an hour each way.
The Ship at Dunwich is a nice pub that you can reach easily by following the road to the left of the site entrance, then following the public footpath through the woods which cuts about 3/4 mile off the road route.
Minsmere RSPB reserve is an easy walk from the campsite.

Wonderful site. We got here for a 2 night stay after a horrible journey which should have taken 1.5hrs and took us 3! It was pitch dark, found our way more by luck than judgement (my fault forgot tom tom!) warden fantastic and helpful. We hitched up at 7.30pm found the bar for take away food then went to bed. Woke up, opened my kitchen window to see the sea!. Lovely woodland pitches 2 mins walk from the beach. Great site, some very nice log cabins I know where I want to be in 10years! Great play area for my son we could have a pint whilst he played bliss. Didn't use the showers but they were clean and toilets were lovely. Would recommend to anyone. Will be back again next season.

Lovely site. Great for kids as there is plenty to do on site - woods, beach, play ground. There is a pub on site which serves food (didn't't eat but it looked reasonably priced) and the play area is attached to the pub so we had a drink in the evening as the kids played, brilliant. The beach is shingle so difficult for sandcastle building but good for skimming and throwing stones in the sea. My kids are 3 and 6 so paddling in the water was difficult as the sea bed drops away quickly and becomes deep. However, the nearest sand beach is only a few miles away and the drive to Southwold was easy and parking at the beach only £3 for the day. The site was very quiet and well maintained, shop sold the basics and the staff are friendly and helpful. There are very few pitches for tents and most of them are under trees which provide shelter and shade. We will be returning soon, really enjoyed our stay.

With three children (two teenagers and one eight year old) and a tent in tow, we were surprised to see a large pitch and beautiful views for our soon to be erected tent. Hook up for electricity is available but we decided to go "au naturel"; part of the fun when camping. The camp site has a real sense of pride in taking care of the environment which I think makes this place rather special. The sea is a minutes walk away which the kids loved.
The shower block has hot powerful showers and plenty of room in the cubicles for changing, and are always warm! I was impressed with how clean the facilities were kept. There is a small shop near the pub with friendly staff.
Plenty of things for children to do; ours enjoyed the games room with endless games of pool. The bar/restaurent has a friendly family atmosphere, and if you enjoy Karoke and a good laugh I would recommend Tuesday nights where a competion is held. We had such a good laugh- it was rocking! Must mention the fantastic singing voice of the Karoke D J.
We are comming back next year: this place definitely has the wow, wow, wow factor.

What a beautiful site! I've loved this area of the UK for many years and normally try to stay at Southwold, but it was full this year so I thought I would try Dunwich instead. I am so pleased I did - I will definitely be staying here rather than Southwold again.
The site is in beautiful surroundings. Although it was quite busy, because of all the trees you felt you were within a secluded peaceful site. The beach is just a short walk away down some steps, and from it the views are lovely - you can see across the bay to Southwold, but Sizewell Power Station is just out of view!
The on site facilities are very good - great food and drink at the pub on site, and although a little more than some pubs, it is worth it for the proximity to the site. The toilets and showers are very clean and some of the best showers experienced on holiday this year!
Definitely worth a visit.

Extremely good site in a beautiful setting. All facilities are excellent, toilets and showers clean and tidy, on site pub serving good meals and a children's play area. Some of the views from this site over the sea are the best. There is a walk down from the site to the sea. The beach runs for miles and when we went there it was deserted. On the down side they like you to leave by 10am. However, nobody seemed to follow this rule, we left at 3pm.

Chose the wrong weekend weather wise but was thoroughly impressed by this site and will definitely return. Loved the camping plots for tents, under trees, close to cliff edge, could hear the sea crashing against the shore all night.
Lovely and quiet site, great for families and people who don't want to hear music and partying late at night. Loved the little bar and restaurant, looked like great quantity of good quality food being produced. Real atmosphere. Did enjoy a few drinks in the evening there. They also had tables and chairs outdoors for fine weather!
Had a great walk along the beach into Dunwich and back along the footpaths, will take bicycles next time and use this site as a base.
Bathrooms were fantastic, we were very impressed. No charge for hot water, power showers (3 in ladies). Electric points for hairdryers. All clean and very warm on wet rainy days! Good washing up facilities too. Can't wait to return. A little hard to pay £25 a night for the bank holiday but worth every penny, will return on a normal weekend at about £18.

Fantastic site. Showers/Toilet block were fully heated, nice big area to change. The showers were lovely and hot and very powerful.
Unfortunately we were there for a very wet bank holiday weekend, so didn't really see the site at its best, but would love to return another time !
There is a pub on site with pool table in the children's room.
Lovely quiet site, It was fully booked but still very quiet.
We drove to Oulten Broads and hired a day boat for a couple of hours, which was nice. Supermarkets are a small drive away, but accessible.
We had an evening out to the cinema at Lieceston - lovely small old fashioned cinema with newly fitted surround sound.
All staff very friendly

Just had a great weekend at this campsite. Our pitch was close to the sunken garden This is a gated and fenced area with a few palm trees, shrubs and weeds, in which our 2 small children spent a lot of their time hunting for bugs and worms!
The pitch was a reasonable size but the ground was very hard. It was also bark chipped, not so bad when the tent went up in the dry, but when it rained the chips got everywhere and stuck to the canvas as we took the tent down! Included in the pitch price is EHU, but make sure you have a long lead as some points are quite a way from the pitch. The tent pitches are mainly under the trees, however there are a few grassy ones.
The heated toilet block was nearby with powerful showers. They had good sized changing areas that were nice and clean but I think you had to time it right as my shower was quite cool! On site is a reasonable children's play area close to the pub. There are also indoor washing up sinks, and a small laundry.
We walked along the shingle beach down to the village of Dunwich. There is nice little cafe and shop on the beach front that serves fish and chips, cakes, ice creams and drinks. It was really busy, but quite expensive! We walked back to the campsite through the woods along the clifftop and saw a fox.
All in all the site was quite nice. Although the site was busy it was quite quiet in the evenings and it was lovely to lie in bed and listen to the sound of the waves!

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH CLIFF HOUSE SIZEWELL COMMON! Nothing wrong with either site , but it helps for directions! This site is much more developed; Sizewell is more undeveloped; depends what you like and what you want to pay. This is a bigger site, at the top of cliffs, whereas Sizewell is smaller; a field, right next to the sand dunes.
