Pitches around the edge of the grass field

Two miles from the beach at Bexhill-on-Sea
Family-friendly site with play areas and shop
Within easy reach of the historic sites of 1066 Country

Ditch the wheels and settle down for a Sussex seaside and heritage stay at award-winning and colourful Chestnut Meadow Camping and Caravan Park, on the outskirts of the seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea. A bus stop is right in front of the site so you can get around without having to drive: the beach is a couple of miles away. Chestnut Meadow is in the historic part of green and pleasant England known as 1066 Country, so called after the 11th-century Battle of Hastings and the introduction of Norman rule into the land (if these facts make the kids yawn, they'll probably be gorily interested instead in how Harold died). Battle Abbey, Herstmonceux Castle and Bodiam Castle are nearby to explore the area's history, all reachable via local cycle routes. A family-friendly site, Chestnut Meadow has a playground, plenty of room to play, and a modern, heated shower block including a parent and baby washroom. There's also a small shop. A range of eco-friendly initiatives have been introduced on site, including recycling points, wildlife areas and the use of recycled materials where possible.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Level site which was very quiet and the toilet block and showers were adequate. The electricity worked.

Disliked: Stupid questionnaire before arriving asking for copy of passport, driving license or identity card to be submitted online. No staff member on site and no communication regarding pitch to use when we arrived even though we had been asked to state our arrival time. We booked a hard standing pitch but there were none even though they were marked on a site plan that we saw on the reception area notice board. All of the pitches were grass pitches and were very muddy. The Wi-Fi was poor and I could only connect when I moved close to the reception area.

I never saw any staff on site during our 2 day stay.

Local attractions

Bexhill-on-Sea beach, De La Warr Pavilion and Bexhill Museum are within two miles for seasidey days among Sussex coast and heritage. A bit further along the coast, the Blue Reef Aquarium, fishermen's museum and historic sites of Hastings can be reached within six miles: do take the cliff railway from its West Hill stop to delve into the adventure of local smuggling up at St Clement's Caves. To explore more about how the Normans took over all those years ago, trot along to the English Heritage 1066 Battle of Hastings, Abbey and Battlefield attraction five miles or so away, set at the abbey built on the battlefield in its bloody aftermath. More splendid Sussex castles are at Herstmonceux (seven miles) and Bodiam (12 miles), while for hair-raising adventures, you could take the kids to Drusillas Park or the Knockhatch Adventure Park, both 15 miles away.
