Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked This excellent site, quiet with good facilities but, best of all, obliging with nothing too much bother, even helping us Jump start our van when it had a flat battery and making sure we were able to make our early morning ferry. Can’t thank them enough or recommend them more highly enough. G&D Mackie

Great site in a great location!
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked The location, the sea views are incredible with plenty of lovely dog walks just outside the site.
Only a short walk into the town and more sea front walks with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants.
The sites set up with generous sized pitches with plenty of space in the middle for the kids to play.
The team at the site go above and beyond to help out with anything you need and the food for the bbq we ordered was amazing.
We loved it so much we stayed on extra nights!
Disliked Nothing to add.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great views and local walks. Friendly owners. Facilities are basic but perfectly good enough.
Disliked An inbetween price for a tentbox would be nice.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your feed back the views of the sea and downs are very rare you dont always get both at the same time and there are lovely walks to the sea and other places.
we are always happy to help anyone, the facilities are basic but adequate.
the price of your stay is the pitch of over 10x10mts which gives you some privacy from the campers but we can look into the prices in the near future
Best Regards

Liked Beautiful rolling hills one way and lovely sea views the other, so peaceful and clean. Busy Brighton a short drive and loads of stunning cliff walks.
Staff friendly and helpful.

Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: thank you for your feedback.
glad you enjoyed your stay, yes there is a lot of good walks and the staff do help people as much as they can.
we have many regulars and they opted for no bins keeping pitch prices low rather than have bins and increase the pitch prices, as most people don't mind taking their waste home, sorry that this didn't suit you.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked It was ok Needed another toilet and shower .Secondary toilet block away from the other one .
Otherwise fine need to advise people it is remote so to take all necessary food and supplies.
Plus wifi would be an advantage perhaps charge 2 extra a week for wifi otherwise ok .
We will be back 😄

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Campsite was clean and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I arrived ahead on my own and had to struggle with the giant tent they helped me out. They cared a lot about everyone staying and the upkeep of the space.
The views were beautiful and it was a lovely calm quite space to spend a few nights.
