What customers say

This cosy, tidy park's spotless modern loos and showers get a fair whack of praise. Campers love the roomy, flat spots and the super-friendly owners. Great spot for pubs, trains to towns, and hitting the trails. A bit of road noise, but most found it minor. A few said bathrooms were a bit tight at busy times, and no WiFi. Still, top marks for this quiet, handy park – folks are keen to come back!

Liked Neat. Tidy. Cosy campsite. New shower blocks. Pub nearby (5 min walk) has great food. Close proximity to some lovely beaches.

Disliked Confusion around tents. Do they or don’t they allow tents? Pictures on Pitch Up show tents. This needs to be made crystal clear.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked The pitch and the facilities were all fresh clean and new.

Disliked Unfortunately there was a strong smell of cow manure. I don’t think this is the usual. Maybe a farmer was spraying a field.

Liked Location. Very handy for an easy trip to Selsey, West Wittering and Chichester.
Very clean shower and toilet facilities and a nice welcome.

Disliked Pitch we were on was near a busy road, but to be fair we were late booking so the pitches further back were good.

Route directions

If you are using a satnav you may find that it takes you past the site. It's about 100 yards past the Anchor pub on the right, so look out for the pub on your left and the thatched cottage. If you reach the garage on the right-hand side you have gone too far.

Local attractions

And so to the beach – perhaps with a bucket and spade for the sandy stretch at West Wittering or some watersports kit for surfing or kitesurfing at Bracklesham Bay (both 10 minutes’ drive). Elsewhere along the coast, take walks around the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (five minutes) or out to Selsey Bill (10 minutes), or go wildlife-spotting at Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve (15 minutes). To get a sense of the area’s history, a trip to Weald & Downland Living Museum (15 minutes) is a must – the various exhibits, demonstrations and buildings are great for getting kids intrigued in times gone by. There’s more history to soak up at Fishbourne Roman Palace (10 minutes) and around Chichester (10 minutes), where top recommendations include the cathedral, Pallant House Gallery and Festival Theatre. For alternative activities, perhaps you’d fancy playing a round at Chichester Golf Club (five minutes) – or maybe sampling the top-notch sparkling wines on a tour and tasting at Tinwood Estate vineyard (15 minutes).
