What customers say
Lovely, quiet spot with sound owners. Spacious pitches give privacy. Clean facilities are a plus, as is beach/shop access & transport to Brighton. Play area's a hit with families. Just be aware of potential plane noise & busy facility times.

Well managed, clean site with hot showers and on site cafe.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Not overcrowded. Pitches were large and spaced out with loads of room for kids to play. All pitches overlook the play area so you can keep a watchful eye on them from your pitch. Picnic benches scattered around that you can move to your pitch for alfresco dining.
Disliked Electric hook up kept tripping when trying to use 2 appliances (fridge and air fryer). Was able to use fridge and charge phones at same time without issue.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The camp site really well organised with a large area in the middle for children to play Toilet facilities are immaculate even with it being high season and fully booked.10 minutes walk to the beach and bus stop to Brighton/worthing 15 walk to Lancing train Station will definitely be booking again.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Refreshing change to go to a site with a space in the middle, rather than the pitches being crammed in. Good to see children playing in the field. Perfect situation, 10 minutes to the station which we used twice to go into Brighton and 10 minutes to the beach. Well presented little shop/cafe. I agree with a past post about dogs not being allowed on the playing field (although the bulldog owners did pick up the dog mess).
A really good find and perfect for what we needed, close to amenities, spacious and not too big.
Disliked We found that 2 showers and 2 toilets were not really enough when the site was full.
The pitch next to us had 3 cars in front of their caravan. Perhaps a limit of one and then the rest to be parked by the entrance would be preferable.

Was useful for our over needs but not a cosy site with views etc
Electric grass pitch
Liked Only two showers and two toilet but were reasonably clean
Level pitch yet a bit divited on ours, could be fixed over the quieter season
Disliked Not enough washing up facilities as the site is expanding.
Unfortunately we witnessed today ( 17 Aug 2025 ) a couple letting their bull dogs defecate on the football pitch. There is no where local to walk a dog off lead.
Management should have signs up saying no dog walking on site etc.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Very friendly & helpful. Nice and small, so no overcrowding.
My kids made friends instantly with kids from all over Europe and the UK. The play equipment being right in the middle of the site really helped!
Showers were clean, my 10yr old had her very first shower on her own here and she hates insects of any kind - so that is a gold star to the standard!
Shop was great for mornings coffees & the location is great for the south coast.

Nice little parc with playground and close to beach and Station.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nice small parc with a playground in the middle. Ice cream available at reception. Possible to walk to the beach in 10 minutes and to the Station in 15 minutes. Toilettes and shower not new but clean.
Disliked Quit times from 21h to 9h quite long for kids. Our neighbour complaint about our kids playing in our mobile home after 21h before going to bed.
But overall nothing else negativ to say. We would come back here.
