Alison’s Woodpecker Camping Field

Positiv Alison was very helpful and a fantastic campsite owner. There were many noticeable thoughtful touches to make staying at Woodpeckers a pleasant experience. Lots of signs and information.
Shower facilities were very good, especially with young kids.
We liked the size of the campsite, not too big but a nice atmosphere.
Well defined and separated pitches.

Negativ Main shower block/facilities were a bit of a walk from the edge of the south field.
Portaloos were a bit smelly by the end of the bank holiday weekend.
The only thing that would be the icing on the cake for us would have been a small play park.

Positiv Relaxed atmosphere; that there was a noise cut off on the site (10.30).
Roomy pitches
Friendly owner

Negativ Portaloos- not the freshest...
Our pitch had several tent pegs stuck in the ground - not good for tyres or my big toe when I stubbed it on one. Impossible to pull out by hand
Road noise bad
Kitchen/ washing area was some distance away

Positiv Well organised and connected camp site, easy to access by car, bus or bike. Kept as natural and sustainable as possible.
Great location, clean water supplied, some pitches have electric points.
There’s a common BBQ area if anyone wants to use it.
Main shower rooms have a toilet, all super clean and supplied with toilet roll and clean bath mat at all times. In addition there are well situated portaloos around the camp.

Very friendly and helpful owner who looks after the site & the campers.

This is an exceptional camp site at a very affordable price!
Super close to the beach and a short walk to Littlehampton via public footpath as well! Ideal for adventures on a bike too.
There is also a Cafe next to the camp opened full on breakfast or lunch which is handy. Plus a pub near by.
We loved our stay there, felt safe and recommend throughly.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Robert,
thank you for your review,
I am a bit confused by your dislike of the chemical disposal being on the side of the site. It is located at the Northernmost end of the site by the road, near the gate, far away from any pitches and surrounded by a wooden fence. No one can see the tank, only the fence until you are close to it to be able to discharge your waste. It is positioned so as to be easy to access by any motorhome or caravan and needs to be on the actual site. Also this location ensures that the large tanker which comes to regularly empty it can reverse safely onto the site to access it as well.
Not sure where you would recommend that I move it to if such a relocation were possible ??
I also note that you think this is "not really an issue" so why mention it without a positive observation of where it could be placed instead ?
kind regards,
Alison

Positiv For the price it was definitely not value for money and how they can justify 10 pounds per night for electric is beyond me.

Negativ The toilets were the plastic ones you get at festivals I would have rather gone in the woods. The toilet disposal was a cesspit which stank.

Positiv The whole stay. Position is perfect for catching the Coastliner bus. The space is generous for a campervan, and I like the close proximity of the portaloos. The showers are fine and felt clean and hygienic. Also appreciated the fridge and other amenities although not needed. The blackberries were lovely for breakfast each morning!

Quiet site with families in another part of the field.
Good clean facilities well maintained

Negativ Some noise from the A259, which cant be helped, it didnt disturb us
