What customers say
This is a well-maintained, peaceful campsite with friendly and helpful owners. Pitches are spacious and well-laid out, offering privacy. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently praised for their cleanliness. Its location is ideal, with easy walking access to the beach, local shops, and public transport links to nearby towns and cities like Brighton. The site is family-friendly, with a popular play area. Minor points include occasional aeroplane noise due to proximity to an airport and some visitors noting limited washing-up facilities or shower/toilet capacity during peak times.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Well maintained, close to beach & shops but tucked away so peaceful
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely, well maintained campsite. Joe was very helpful and friendly. Field is a good size with everyone parked around the edge in decent size pitches that are marked out. Showers were spotless, powerful and hot water in abundance. In the bathrooms there are plugs for hairdryers etc and a freezer to refreeze your ice packs. Once the sun went down the campsite was very quiet. There is a field with a goal, climbing frame and swings for the children to play. Lancing beach is no more than 10 min walk. Worthing is very close and Brighton not too far either. There is a Budgens about 5 mins drive and Asda just a bit further. This campsite is in a good location, near facilities but tucked away so it’s peaceful. Just to mention Brighton/Shoreham airport is very close therefore there are small aircraft flying overhead (quite low!) but not until 9am. It didn’t spoil our stay, in fact it was interesting to see them.

Good site for families with young children
Electric grass pitch
Liked The open grass space in the middle (all pitches on the outside edge) with football goal and play equipment in middle, thus easy to watch children play from van.
Use of wooden picnic tables was a bonus too.
Easy 15 min walk to beach

Non-electric grass pitch

Overall great site and would definately visit again
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great site with spacious pitches with large open central grass space. Pitches and site overall well maintained. Nice that there was a small cafe on site as well for snacks , coffee/ tea etc. Table tennis table and freezer. Close to beach (walking distance) and town centre closeby.
Disliked Only comment would be that in peak season toilets and showers would ideally need more than once daily cleaning. It wasn’t dirty at all however seen the amount of people there to stay on top it would be required more frequently.
