Carlton Meres Holiday Park ( Park Holidays Uk)

The camping option at Carlton Meres Holiday Park is a pod, not a pitch: this is a Park Holidays UK site at Carlton near Saxmundham, Suffolk, built around caravans, lodges and a camping pods field beside two well-stocked fishing lakes. Its own park map shows no touring or tent field anywhere on site, so if you tow a caravan or pack a tent, Carlton Meres will not suit you. The park sits inland among woodland, about 2 miles from Saxmundham, 5 miles from Framlingham Castle and Snape Maltings, and roughly 8 miles from the beaches at Aldeburgh and Thorpeness. Pod guests use a shower and toilet block, washing up facilities and a launderette, and get the run of the park: a heated indoor pool with an aqua run, a heated outdoor pool, a gym, an arcade, mini golf, a children's play park and a clubhouse with bar, restaurant and shop. Children's activities such as pottery, sand art and tie-dye run from March to October, with live entertainment through the season. Two honest notes: the park is cashless, so bring a card, and guests regularly single out the shower block as the weak point of a stay. Carlton Meres opens from late March to early November, with pods and holidays quoted through the Park Holidays booking system.
