Great pitch with very good facilities. Would definitely recommend
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely quiet pitch overlooking fields facilities very good - shower areas spacious and extremely well kept. Local pub round the corner serves really good food! Bus stop just up the road very handy if you want to get around. We were only there for one night but would have liked to stay longer if we had had the time.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked This is a great spot to stay while visiting Chichester and surrounds. A warm and friendly welcome on our arrival. The site is basic (no shop or cafe) but was just what we wanted, a quiet and pretty place to be. Toilets and showers are modern and clean.
There is a road nearby but this didn't bother us, the birdsong was louder.
There's a pub nearby and the bus stops into town are 2 mins away.
We had a nice stroll around the village, taking time to look at the old church and enjoy watching the wildlife at the pond.
Highly recommended, I would stay again.
Disliked Can't think of anything.
