Ditchling Camping

A aimé : It's a lovely setting. I woke up on my first morning to a beautiful view of the rising sun on the Downs. When i was there it was very quiet and there was plenty of space and all the other campers seemed very considerate. It was very easy and very good value for money. It's good that you can hire a firebowl and firewood.

N'a pas aimé: It's a very basic site, which probably helps it not get too busy? The portaloo was very clean but there was no hand soap in the dispenser. The portaloo was also on a slope, which left you with a rather disconcerting feeling on the loo that the whole thing was about to tip over backwards (it didn't, of course). This also meant that the blue liquid you flush with was trying to flush solids uphill against gravity, which doesn't work very well.

Réponse du gestionnaire : It was lovely to Host you. It is a lovely spot with magnificent views towards the South Downs and a 30 second walk to the Village to enjoy A pub lunch... Hopefully see you all again..

A aimé : Great location for walking and cycling into the South Downs and great to have a good selection of pubs within a few minutes walk. Very peaceful campsite with the pitches very well sheltered from the high winds over the weekend.

N'a pas aimé: Portaloo’s weren’t very functional and with only 2 onsite I could imagine this being more of an issue if the campsite had been busier as luckily it was very quiet. There also didn’t seem to be any hot water for the showers which may have been because they were almost inaccessible due to the high winds.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Guys, Glad that you enjoyed your stay and ventured to the local pubs and possibly went for a walk or cycle.... I apologise about the portaloo's - due to the rain and high winds I overlooked checking them when dropping them onto the site. Unfortunately there wasn't enough water in the tank to start them flushing properly. All understood now and will be checked properly in the future and water added if needed. And also the showers. The high winds on Friday late afternoon blew the protection off which broke and could not be put back in place immediately. This meant that the hot showers could NOT be turned on as rain would get into the mechanism. All fixed now and up and running... Hopefully see you again soon.

A aimé : Nice campsite - basic but very pleasant, walking distance to ditchling village centre and pubs. One shower was abit temperamental (temp wise) but wasnt a problem as we just used the other one. Owner was very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Overall a lovely 2 day stay with family and friends.

N'a pas aimé: being close to a road which i wasn't aware of upon booking but it wasn't a super busy road so didn't pose much of a problem during our stay.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Really nice to meet you all - I apologise about the shower - Being resolved as I type. Ditchling is a lovely village, with two pubs doing great food....

A aimé : Great location, we had a lovely wander around Ditchling and Hassocks on Saturday before catching the train to Brighton for a few hours. We got a takeaway in Hassocks on the way back and took it back to the campsite. The facilities and communication was great. The other campers were friendly. We had a lovely weekend and would definitely return.

N'a pas aimé: None

A aimé : Lovely location, short walk to shops and cafe and Ditchlimg village. Bonus to be able drive to pitch, portaloos we’re fine z

N'a pas aimé: Shame no where to dispose of rubbish

Réponse du gestionnaire : She certainly is in a beautiful location, with the pubs, cafe's and other shops just a stones throw, whilst also having the sense of total isolation when on the site. We considered having rubbish bins, but decided that they would not be environmentally friendly as it only takes one camper to mix up the rubbish (recyclables, bottles, cans, food waste and others) to make all of the rubbish not recyclable... Its a shame, but true.

A aimé : Everything as described!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for your lovely review - It was great to meet you guys too - Glad that you enjoyed the site, fires and children having fun Hopefully see you again soonest

A aimé : A lot of things to explore near by e.g. museum and art galleries, hill walkin, summer fair, etc. Big field for the kids

N'a pas aimé: Unfortunately our tent close to the young people's tents. They were having party fir two night until 3am.... It will be good to have more showers to reduce waiting time.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Glad that you enjoyed the location and the field. Sorry to hear that your next door neighbours were up till 3am - If we had known we would have asked them to calm down after 11pm, but unfortunately this is the first time that this has been brought to our attention We'll aim for more showers next year as they certainly help in this excessive hot spell. Hopefully see you again
