What customers say
Creative Camping: super family-friendly & quirky with fab hosts. Kids love the heaps of activities, facilities are spick and span, and free BBQs/fire pits are a bonus. Big sites, chill vibes. A few mention road noise & it looking a bit worn, but most have a ripper time.

A very quirky campsite that’s well worth a visit!
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked We loved our first stay at Creative Camping. Kym was a fantastic host and very welcoming. We stayed for 2 nights/3 days and found the facilities to be very good. Communal areas such as toilets and shower areas were clean and in full working order.
A really cool indoor area for kids to play in if the weather isn’t great. And lots of ride on toys for the kids to use outside when the weather is nice.
We will absolutely be staying again!
Disliked Probably would be nice to have access to WiFi if we were to stay longer so we can make use of our TV and watch movies in the evening. But our phone signal seemed fine so we could stream stuff on our phone/tablets.

Liked The set up is lovely. So child oriented with plenty to keep them occupied. It was quite quiet when we were there and made friends with another family with young children who pretty much became best buddies within a couple of hours. The pitches are a great size and you have plenty of space. It's not a far walk to the main block where there are loo's, showers, a little kitchen area with a microwave, kettle, sink and a table. This is also the are where the kids indoor play area is. Its packed with books, toys and a whole indoor sand pit / beach.
Kym and Gary are lovely, really friendly and accommodating, its very laid back!
This was out second stay here and we'll definitely be back.
Disliked It's not a dislike at all, but some of the toys are little old and have been broken it's easy enough to move these out of the way if you want to though. TBH, the amount of toys that there are available, this is really quite minor comment.

A great site - considerate touches but in need of updating/cleaning.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Location to the beach, Chichester, Portsmouth.
Large pitches with plenty of space.
Enough toilets and showers for size of site.
Outdoor showers were hot and a nice touch.
Plenty of go-cars, scooters, ride-ons for kids of all ages to whizz around the site - kept my teenagers occupied for hours.
So many thoughtful extras and considerate touches - like the ride on toys, free to use firepits and BBQs, eye wash station and accessible first aid, disposable shower mats and much more.
Disliked Proximity to a busy road with traffic noise throughout the night.
Although there were lovely extra touches, they weren't clean. eg: BBQs were cakes with old food and grease. Easily remedied with provision of a wire brush to clean before/after use.
Tired decor in need of paint and tlc.

Liked A nice vibe, with both the owners and other campers being friendly.
A decent number of showers, has a fridge / freezer for guests use which is really handy. There are chairs and bbq pits which can be borrowed.
If you have kids there are plenty of things for them to play with which again are all available for free.
