Liked: Lovely quiet family ran site for families. Pitches are level, if you are really desperate to get you chocks out you can find a small slope if you look hard enough. Signs are all there, you may need to look for them but we found it easy to check in and find our pitch no problem. Facilities have everything you need and are clean. Well placed in the area, the train station is a very simple 10 mins walk and can get you into Brighton or Portsmouth.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Location - despite being surrounded by a residential area, the camping field was pleasant and peaceful with easy access to seafront a few hundred metres away.
Friendliness of the owner.
Disliked: Toilet facilities (2 toilets and 2 showers) were adequate but basic - sinks in block took a while to drain and facilities were not the cleanest I have seen.
Only 2 washing up sinks- one with hot water and only one draining board between the 2. Didn't realise that our online booking only gave us access to 6 amps of electricity but, to be fair, we were offered a higher supply but we had already set up.
