The pitches are in a circle around a field with a kids play area.

Peaceful site seven miles from Brighton and half a mile from trains
Carefully maintained to avoid overcrowding
Picnic tables, small café/bar and play area on site

Like Topsy, it just growed…The Barn Caravan Park at Lancing, West Sussex opened in 2003 and has been growing and welcoming guests ever since. Fret not though if big sites aren’t your thing: this is a peaceful medium-sized site and is carefully maintained by owner Joe to avoid overcrowding even in busy periods. Hide yourself away here or take a trip to Brighton about seven miles away; several West Sussex beaches are even closer to hand. Pitches are on grass and come with access to The Barn’s five toilets, baby changing, showers with lashings of free hot water, and a cold water beach-type shower for outdoor suds. There are picnic tables for guests to use, and a good play area with full-sized football goal, swings, ball game area and a climbing tower slide. A handy little extra is the licensed café/bar, which sorts guests out with drinks and ice creams throughout the summer. For getting off site, buses and trains are within a mile; Lancing train station, with a supermarket outside, is about half a mile away. Eating out can be done in style at the smart Art Deco restaurant at Shoreham Airport, a mile away from the site. You're also welcome to bring your own barbecue to the site.

Liked: This is a lovely site nice size pitches, a lovely little play area for children. So suitable for families as well as us oldies! clean toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. A small café/bar. we had lovely weather for our two night stay, There are shops nearby. And the beach is a short distance. All in all a lovely site. It doesn't have a drive over water waste facility. But not any hardship if you dispense into trolly tank that you can take to waste water disposal point in the centre of the site. I understand they have free Wi-Fi, we didn't use it as we have our own mobile Wi-Fi.

Liked: Lovely quiet family ran site for families. Pitches are level, if you are really desperate to get you chocks out you can find a small slope if you look hard enough. Signs are all there, you may need to look for them but we found it easy to check in and find our pitch no problem. Facilities have everything you need and are clean. Well placed in the area, the train station is a very simple 10 mins walk and can get you into Brighton or Portsmouth.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Beaches, beaches, beaches… the nearest beach, South Lancing, is within a short walk, with the beaches of Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea each two miles’ walk from here. Or head west along the coast to the flumes of Littlehampton’s Harbour Park or to the bountiful resort of Bognor Regis. The town of Lancing is less than a mile away from The Barn with a nature reserve, Lancing Ring, to its north and restaurants and shops at which to fill your boots and empty your wallet. Worthing is also well worth a look as one of the biggest towns in the area – and the former home of Oscar Wilde and Harold Pinter for those who like their literature. There are a couple of hundred listed buildings in the town to make your way around as well as the biggest museum in West Sussex, an undercover shopping centre and, er, a haunted oak tree. Along the coast to the west there’s cracking Chichester with its Norman cathedral, festivals and shops; Fishbourne Roman Palace, the biggest Roman home in Britain, is just outside the city. Going inland, nature lovers, sightseers and adrenaline seekers will find heaps of things to do: the market town of Horsham and its birds of prey centre; horse-riding, hiking and historical artefacts in the South Downs National Park; the RSPB reserve of Pulborough Brooks and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust wildlife haven Arundel overlooked by Arundel Castle. Sprogs have plenty of choice too: take them along to West Sussex’s farm parks and play centres, to Chichester for mountain boarding (not biking) or for a puff on the South Downs Light Railway.
