What customers say
Creative Camping is a friendly, quirky spot that's great for families, with loads for kids. Guests rave about the big pitches, clean ablutions (even outdoor showers!), and the hosts' warm welcome. Free BBQs and fire pits are a big plus. A bit of road noise and some camper noise occasionally, but overall a top experience, and people can't wait to go back.

Great little campsite
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really nice little campsite with great facilities. All the things for kids to play with including bikes, go-carts and scooters are free to use. There are also a good selection of equipment like bbqs and firepits which are also free to use.

A really special and unique site, brilliant for families!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved the site! Owners were very welcoming on our arrival. Gave us a tour of the site and the facilities Loved how kid friendly it was, so much for them to do and a safe space for them to play, make friends and have fun. Loved the outdoor showers, basic but a real novelty. Dog friendly which is a plus for us. Pitch sizes were huge and overall a really friendly site. Location to `the beach at Selsey and facilities / shops nearby.
Disliked Minor issue but the road noise was pretty constant which is totally not the fault of the owners! Just a busy road and despite it being a 30mph seemed to have a lot of traffic.

Good but noisy
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really good location, site and staff and facilities
Everything about it was 9 stars to mind.
Disliked Some really obnoxious 2 caravan customers that played karaoke past 11 pm and made a racquet throughout the night that disturbed the other 6 tents. You just can't allow that with a family campsite and expect people to consider coming back. You really need to keep people like that off pitch up.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Free use of the BBQ, firepits, children's toys and covered family room. Showers and toilets were comfortable and clean and the pitch was a nice size. It was only a 10 mins drive to the beach. The owners were also very friendly and helpful whenever needed. We had an amazing stay and will be back if we camp here again!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The site was nice, pitches a good size, lots of go carts and bikes etc for the kids to play with. Plenty of fire pits with the option to buy fire wood. Outdoors showers were lovely on hot days and the use of fridge, freezer and microwave were a bonus. 24 hour petrol station next door for buying essentials was helpful. Overall a very good family site.
Disliked The facilities could have been cleaner, everything was fine but the showers and toilets were a bit run down and could do with a good clean and also a freshen up. There was also a lot of noise on the saturday night with people being very loud even as late as 2.30am. The quiet time rules seemed quite relaxed and not enforced, the other days we stayed were generally ok though. No wifi available either.
One thing to bear in mind is we had an electric pitch and our hookup had a normal house plug whereas most other had the normal 2 pin camper hookup which we are used to. Might cause some problems if you only bring 1 type of hookup cable with you.
