Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding/Grass Pitches (Hay Field)Aug 2024

Easy check in, warden escorted us to our pitch and pointed us to facilities. Everywhere was very clean and tidy, nice extras like fish/chip kiosk, breakfast van and coffee van. Rather a lot of steps down to the sandy beach, which is enormous. Stand out for me was cleanliness of toilets and bathrooms.

Great place to camp

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding/Grass Pitches (Hay Field)Aug 2024

Shower cleanliness was a bit disappointing. The site can't help how people leave showers and there was a mop to clean up after yourself however, it was rather dirty. There's lots of grime and black mould in the plastic joints and ground in dirt around the foot of each cubicle which could be cleaned. A shop on site for just a few basics like a pint of milk, loaf of bread etc, even if it was a pop-up or mobile shop, would have been handy. If you arrive mid delay afternoon, you don't necessarily want to then drive away to the nearest shop off site. Other than the showers, I really enjoyed my stay, great spot close to the beach! Friendly site, lots of late night family and friend groups having barbecues and drinking, but people were very respectful and kept the noise down. Wardens escorted you to your pitch, pointed you in the direction of nearest toilet blocks and showers and patrolled regularly.

Lovely site

Great little mini get away. Lovely simple site. No issues. Warm welcome. Really close to the sea, we could hear the waves when all was quiet. Small park for the kids to play nearer reception. Chip van, burger van & coffee pod on site.

Fantastic family stay

This was our first camping trip and chose The Hollies as our friends had stayed previously. We found it a lovely clean site. All the staff were friendly. Also had a lovely fish and chips one night.

We both had such an amazing time. It was such a nice campsite and we were both so happy with our position on the site with everything around us. Your staff are so helpful and answered all our questions about the local area. We will definitely be back again. Thank you.

Perfectly situated

Medium Tent - Non Electric Pitches (Seaside Field)Aug 2024

We are return campers for a reason. Hollies is a fantastic campsite, situated next to the beautiful Suffolk coast. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of larger sites such as a clubhouse, bar, shop etc. but that's part of the attraction (and it's also reflected in the value for money). For a big site it's relatively peaceful, plenty of room to pitch tent without being right next door to other campers. Lovely clean facilities and well placed for local attractions. We'll stay again.

No complaints

One of the best campsites I've stayed at. With all amenities, it made camping with a 6 month old more enjoyable than I could imagine. Will be returning, and will return. Honestly, no complaints.

Highly recommended

Had a lovely 7 day family camping holiday, would highly recommend. The only 1 issue we had was the timings of the cleaning of the toilets and showers, as it was around 9am, when most people want to use them.

Great location, a few frustrating issues

Small Tent - Non Electric Pitches (Seaside Field)Aug 2024

Amazing location right above the beach, perfect for beach stays or for anyone wanting to explore the Suffolk coastline. The campsite should be lovely, but has a few issues that caught us off guard. Toilets are closed for cleaning each morning around 07:00 when everyone wants to use them, and the whole site was overbooked, so it was near impossible to find a pitch. But, still a really enjoyable stay.

Very good

We had a fantastic time at the Hollies campsite! The location is brilliant, supermarkets nearby, the sea is a stones throw away and was very quiet and peaceful. The toilets were clean as was the shower block, however they were closed at inconvenient times for cleaning, meaning access to the toilets was limited. We also attended on the August bank holiday weekend so was very busy but we were still able to have a relaxing time.

Brilliant

Very nice site and close to the beach. Not a sandy beach but perfect for dog walks. Big grass pitches with electric hook up and water close by. Could have done with an on site shop but other than that a nice few days.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Pitches (Barley Field)Aug 2024

Loved our first visit to The Hollies, nearest supermarket was 2 minutes away in the car! Beach was spotless! Prepare for lots of stairs! Perfect for families & dog owners. Toilets & showers were constantly being cleaned. We used the family shower room, which was great! Very friendly families on site. Only negative was the kids park could be slightly bigger and that the shower/toilet block had no running water on our last morning!

Needs a little shop

We had a wonderful family stay and would definitely recommend. The park was clean, bathroom facilities were very good, and the closeness to the beach cannot be beaten. It's only a short drive to Southwold and Lowestoft. Plus a supermarket and various food outlets are only a few minutes drive. The early morning coffee van on site was wonderful as was the fish and chip van.

Great campsite

Really lovely campsite, would go again, not too busy and right next to the beach. We camped in a tent but had lots of space around us to play games, and weren't disrupted with noise or other groups.

Great location, great showers, great staff

Went with 2 children under 5 and had a great stay. Very close to a stunning view…although the beach is quite a trek. Visited Southwold and that was great. Good showers, not that busy.
