Spanning 14 acres, this AA 5 Gold Pennant site is based close to the gorgeous Suffolk Coast and has garnered a string of prestigious awards over the years. These include David Bellamy Gold Awards for conservation and a place in Practical Caravaners' 'Top 100' campsites in the country—testaments to its excellence and popularity among guests.
The site offers a great range of pitches, catering to motorhomes, campervans, caravans, and tents. From fully serviced hardstanding pitches to grass serviced pitches and standard pitches, Haw Wood Farm Caravan Park provides a variety of options to suit every camper's preference. The commitment to harmonising with nature is evident in the adjacent Wild Flower and Young Woodland Walk, inviting visitors to indulge in peaceful strolls amidst the beauty of native flora and fauna.
One of the standout features of Haw Wood Farm is its meticulously maintained amenities. A 2022 refurbishment project resulted in Platinum Award-winning bathrooms that boast underfloor heating for comfort during cooler evenings and winter months. The facilities include shower and toilet rooms with hand dryers, hair dryers, and full-length mirrors. Families can make use of the self-contained family bathrooms, complete with shower, toilet, sink, and baby change units, while an accessible shower room caters to wheelchair users.
The wash up and laundry facility in the main building offers convenience with large sinks for washing up, a freezer for ice, and washing machines and tumble dryers, enabling campers to pack lighter and stay longer. The on-site shop is well-stocked and reasonably priced, providing everything from daily essentials to camping equipment and local products.
For those who prefer to let someone else do the cooking, the on-site cafe welcomes guests with a variety of options. The menu, especially extended during the summer, offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free alternatives, ensuring a diverse and inclusive dining experience.
Families with well-behaved dogs are welcomed at Haw Wood Farm. While on a lead around the park, dogs can enjoy freedom in a large grazing meadow, which provides a space for them to stretch their legs and play freely. The highlight for many children is the playground, where diverse equipment and a fun atmosphere create lasting memories and foster new friendships.
Haw Wood Farm's commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in its use of a biomass boiler to heat all hot water on-site. The boiler is fuelled by wood chips collected from the Hinton Estate, showcasing the site's dedication to eco-friendly practices.
Beyond the Park, Haw Wood Farm offers proximity to memorable family days out. The stunning Dunwich Beach, just 4 miles away, provides a picturesque coastal escape accessible by a short drive. Minsmere, recognized as one of the best birdwatching sites in Britain, sits a mere 5 miles from Haw Wood Farm, offering nature trails and birdwatching hides for enthusiasts and families alike.

A four night stay was excellent. The pitches are large and the bathroom facilities are superb. Having a full individual bathroom was a bonus. The cafe served very good food and there was a good selection of other items.Being close to Southwold, Dunwich and Sutton Hoo made it an ideal location to visit the area's attractions.
A great welcome, facilities, location would recommend
Great site… they seem to have thought of everything!All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The site is beautifully landscaped into separate areas and you can choose where to camp when you book. The site is very dog-friendly (large secure dog-walking field (see photo), dog poo bins, tying-up rings outside the washrooms and shop), but I also loved that there is a dog-free camping meadow available. The playground also looked great and there is an outdoor table tennis table.Only the individual washrooms were open as the site was so quiet, but they were amazing… warm, spacious and spotlessly clean.The Two Magpies bakery half a mile away is excellent but very expensive. We enjoyed dinner at the Fox Inn in Darsham, which is very cosy and offers 10% off food to campsite guests. However, parking is tricky so I wouldn’t drive there in a large motorhome (we were just about able to park our VW camper). Also enjoyed time at Hen Reedbeds (dogs allowed), Southwold and Orford.
We stayed at this campsite for the first time in late October 2026 and we were very impressed with everything about it, the pitch was perfect for us in our rented motorhome. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were excellent. In all we could not fault it and would highly recommend staying here.
Our 4th stay at Hawwood and brought our friends , it’s always perfect ! Friendly , the showers and toilets are immaculate , food in the cafe amazing with such friendly service , I can’t bring myself to go anywhere else now !! Lovely dog walks too ! Thankyou
I've been many times and plan to go many times again. The managers are super friendly and do the most amazing job at making this site wonderful. The toilets and showers are immaculate, the pitches are flat and generous in size, the site is set back from the main road and surrounded by fields, the camp shop/cafe is lovely and the staff so friendly. Just cannot fault this place.
Had a great weekend staying at this site. The pitches are really big. The facilities were really clean and a very high standard and the staff were so lovely and friendly. We decided to try their breakfast menu one morning, went for the full breakfast bap, was delicious! Would absolutely recommend staying here. We will definitely be back next year!
This continues to be a great site with superb facilties and the staff are always very welcoming and helpful. It was a bit off season so the site was very quiet. The weather was not the best either with gales and very heavy rain but surprisingly the ground underfoot appears well drained. We expected to be walking around in mud but to the contrary. We had a great extended weekend meeting up with friends and the beautiful surrounding area remains a fovourite with us. Lovely long walks along Dunwich beach, excellent Sunday lunch at the Darsham Fox. Don't change anything! See you again next year.
A really lovely campsite with a very warm welcome. Great facilities, lovey cafe and fab scrambled eggs on toast! Such a lovely, friendly campsite, clean, tidy and well organised.
Perfect site, lovely helpful staff, clean and immaculate
