Why stay here ...

Chalcroft Cottage CL is a quiet site set on approximately 1.5 acres of lawned grass on the edge of Bognor Regis with easy access to town, seaside and countryside. The Beach is about a mile away along flat quiet roads, perfect for walking or cycling, and from the footpath adjacent to the site there are wonderful views to the South Downs and Chichester Cathedral. Bognor Regis itself boasts a 2.5 mile promenade perfect for strolling along or for wheelchair users, crazy golf along the seafront, shops and cafes a recently restored Hotham Park with its miniature train and park cafe and a full events calendar in the summer with something for everyone! The beach regularly flies the European Blue Flag for being a clean and safe beach with good facilities. Bognor Regis is consistently in the top five of the sunniest places in Britain.

The site is well placed for exploring the beautiful county of West Sussex, with easy access by car, bus or train to Portsmouth and Southampton to the West and Worthing and Brighton to the East. The nearby City of Chichester and towns of Arundel and Littlehampton offer plenty of scope for days out for all tastes, from sightseeing and shopping to water sports, fishing and the theatre with Chichester Festival Theatre only 6 miles away. Bognor Regis itself has a fine independent cinema The Picturedrome which offers very good value for money on the latest film releases in a beautiful old listed building with a wonderful ambiance. Various activities held at Goodwood throughout the year including the Racing Calendar and Motor events are also within easy reach as Goodwood is approximately 8 miles from the site.

Wonderful Place To Stay

Warm welcome from Richard who opened the gate from the call button upon entry, showed us to our numbered pitch and gave us all the information we needed. The code for the gate was programmed into the phone used for the booking and was operated by simply calling a number.... Show more

Lovely open site

Very secure (narrow) entrance to a good, level, open and sunny field with shade if required. A pleasant welcome from Lynette. Surprisingly for a small CL there is the useful addition of a toilet/shower block, with no extra charge. Re. previous comments about road noise, the site is set... Show more

Friendly welcome at a site that's just a few miles from the coast.

Spent six nights at Chalcroft Cottage just before the Jubilee weekend. Richard and Lynette are very friendly and helpful and the site is very well kept and spacious. With the promenade just a few miles away it's easy to get into Bognor Regis and we cycled in several times and rode... Show more

Great welcome

Richard is the perfect host, the welcome he gives on arrival is second to none. The approach lane is narrow, but short and only goes to the field, so not really a problem. The field is a good size, relatively flat and you can choose your own pitch, depending on... Show more

Peaceful bolthole near the coast

An early season break at this spacious CL. Having said that the approach lane isn't. Owners of new 8ft. caravans will have to breathe in. Water pressure makes filling an aqua roll or motorhome tank need the addition of reading material while you wait. Ground seems fairly firm and well... Show more

Lovely campsite

So glad we found this lovely campsite, as mentioned before a hidden jem. Richard was the perfect host, we stayed for 3 peaceful nights. The campsite was flat and surrounded by trees, lots of wildlife. There was so much to see and do in the area, I would recommend the... Show more

Hidden Gem

What a great find! This was a perfect short stay prior to our ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight. The site wasn’t full but even if it was the plots are extremely generous. Flat level field. Bonus of toilets and showers for such a cheap price. Very welcoming easy... Show more

Midsummer heat !

Final approach to this CL is pretty much as described in the handbook. That right turn just past the left turn into Westmeads Drive is a narrow turning between two sets of bollards where there is also a green public footpath sign. These quickly bring you to halt in front... Show more
