What customers say
Spacious pitches, friendly staff, and super clean loos! Great location, easy access to golf and local spots. Car-free means trolleys but the peace is worth it. A few minor hiccups with toilet roll/trolleys, but overall great value and a relaxing stay. Many keen to come back!

Definitely will stay here again. Myself and boys loved our time there
Bell tent (deluxe)
Liked Lovley open space. The Bell tent we stayed in had plenty of room. Showers clean so to the toilets. Myself and boys love aviation and although we weren't attending any air shows that weekend is was nice to sit and watch the planes take off. We also managed to see the RAF Typhoon take off and land as it was displaying at Eastbourne. This was our second visit and the facilities have gotten bigger and improved since our last stay
Disliked I wouldn't say there is anything we disliked, but having the option for electric in the tents, even if it ment we brought our own camping mains kit, would have made it a 10/10. My trusty camping battery pack died and had no way of power phones but more importantly the lights which we brought for the tent so we could read or play cards in the evening

Turned out to be amazing for children's first time camping
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked I took my two little girls on camping for first time in their live and was very apprehensive initially. I only booked two nights initially thinking if things don't work out we will leave soon, but we all loved it so much that we ended up staying a third night in our tent. The place is next to a golf club and an airport. Kids enjoyed seeing airplanes everyday. Site has drinking water taps in open field, utensils cleaning area, toilets and showers. All fine for the stay. The host, Kira is absolutely amazing and very helpful. She was there every now and then helping and talking to people. The site has enough trolleys which really helped to carry stuff from the car park to the pitch. Car park is only a minute walk from the camping area and you can even see your car. We really loved the firepit we got and kids enjoyed toasted marshmellows every night. Also there are good sandy beaches near by, one is the Sobo Beach and the other we went to was the Boscombe Beach. Both amazing around 15-20mins from the campsite. It is worth bringing duvets and warm clothes as it does get really cold night time, even if the day temperatures are around 25 degrees. All in all we loved it and we will be back some time in the near future.

Liked Great location, I explored so much without having to drive too far. The site is well spaced out. There were enough toilets and showers and they were clean. Having the bar and cafe at the golf club is a great bonus. Adrian was friendly and responded quickly. I really liked it at Parley
