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.

Have stayed here many times with our children, they have grown up with fond memories made here. We keep coming back, we love it so much. The site has everything you need, is clean and well managed. The cafe and shop are perfect. The surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful, but still with lots to explore and do. We will keep returning.
If you are in a caravan & opt for the hard standing fully serviced 16amp pitch be prepared to be so close to your neighbours that you can hear them snore! They are ridiculously close to each other we have never stayed anywhere where what you would class as being a premium pich are the worse ones on the site. The 10pm quiet rule is certainly not adhered to, on our last weekend we were kept up until 1.30am by 3 caravan lots of friends partying the night away. The playground has a very long zip wire, great for the kids, not great for us as that is also positioned behind these serviced pitches & the noise it generates alone, never mind when the kids are screaming whilst on it was unbelievable! The toilet blocks rarely had handwash & the toilets were often left in a disgusting state. If you are happy with 10amp then chose the other pitches, I would not recommend the 16amp at all due to the location & the size of them. Very child orientated site, not great if you just want peace & quiet!
Was very impressed with this site. It's clean, tidy & well looked after. Was welcomed & shown to our pitch. It was a very quiet week so had no trouble queuing for showers. The washrooms were kept clean, would've like a few more seconds on the push button showers though! They go over VERY quickly! We have booked again for August so will see what it's like when it's busy. We're hoping the shop & cafe will be open more often then too.Visited Southwold, Aldeburgh, Thorpeness & Dunwich beach which had a very nice cafe.
Wonderful campsite! Very good and spotless facilities, close walk to a lovely bakery and lots of nice touches on the site.
Yet another fabulous stay at this beautiful campsite. The grounds are well maintained and the area has some lovely places to walk. We spent some time in Dunwich woods but the beach is also mot far away The facilities are of the highest standard. Would definitely recommend this site
We were very impressed with the site. It was a great location near to Sandy beaches. The camp site was clean and toilet block was the best I have experienced. We really appreciate the shop having beach toys for children. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area to keep us busy but we also enjoyed staying and relaxing on the peaceful camp site.
Lovely big pitches. We went non electric & our pitch was huge. Great loos & showers although the water pressure could be a bit hit & miss at busy times. All kept spotlessly clean…Fish & chips on Friday & pizzas on Saturday were a great addition.2 magpies at the end of the road did lush coffee & pastries.All in all a very enjoyable week x
Just back from our 6th visit to Haw Wood. We love the site for its large pitches, clean and warm facilities, great café and warm welcome! The site is very family friendly with family bathrooms, children's play area and is safely tucked away from any main roads. We have found everyone to be really respectful of the site quiet times too. The owners and staff are very helpful and welcoming! So much to do in the local area and we find new things to do every time! Our favourites locally are crabbing in Walberswick and a beach day at Southwold. We look forward to coming back!
Lovely site, great amenities and very friendly staff! Facilities were all very clean and having a little cafe and small shop on site was a lovely bonus! When we stayed, there was the option to have fish and chips on a Friday and Pizza on a Saturday and this was something that was a great addition and is perfect if it rains so you don’t have to cook! Accessibility is good and location is close to the coast. We felt very safe whilst on site and feel as though it is good value for money. We will be returning!
It's not often I can't fault a campsite but for this campsite I can't fault it! For my family it is just perfect and everything we look for in a campsite. Large pitches so you can fit all your tenting needs on without feeling cramped. Great play area suitable for most ages (3 and up) with the added bonus that the cafe and picnic area overlook this so no more standing around getting bored while the children play, we can enjoy a drink and something to eat while our child plays. Wonderful breakfast using locally produced food, great coffee. Fantastic bathrooms with underfloor heating so toasty and warm on chilly days. Showers are hot and clean, just how we like them. Washing up facilities with a freezer for ice blocks. Washing and drying machines (though didn't need to use them) site is kept to a high standard of cleanliness and repair. The pitches are generally flat so not too much sloping which is great for tent users. This is our 2nd visit and certainly won't be our last. Amazing staff
