Peace and space
The site was easy to find and good width access roads but please follow the directions given and make the effort to go to the roundabout and back as any chance of a U-turn is a very dangerous option.
Once on site you will be met with a very spacious park with large and level varied pitches with lots of mature trees and bushes in a woodland layout.
Toilet facilities were usual club design with the only downside being perhaps the need for some new silicon around the edges and a fresh coat of paint.
Evening and night time was very peaceful with no traffic noise and just the hoot of the local owl.
There is a small playground for kids but with loads to do in the area they probably wont spend too long on site.
The hustle and bustle of town is a few minutes away in any direction and one place not to miss was the Beaver water world at Tatsfield around a half hour drive. On arrival you may think you are onto a loser but once inside (£5 adult) you will be very impressed with the amount of animals and reptiles they house and the quality of the enclosures. The Beavers are incredible and really hold your attention.
All in all a very nice, easy access site which will probably be even better in the spring and summer (we went in January).
Little gem on our doorstep
We stayed between Christmas and new year with friends. The site wardens were so friendly and accommodating, and pitched us together adjacent to our friends. The children were made welcome too, and immediately given chocolate santas from their Christmas tree! The play area was just behind where we were pitched and was perfect for our children's age ranges. Despite being almost full, the campsite was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the Heath behind the site and took our bikes out several times. The shower block and amenities were warm and spotlessly clean, although we understand they are due to be replaced shortly. Everyone was so friendly and when we decided to stay an extra night, we were offered extra food supplies from our fellow campers! We will definitely return as we are fairly local and it's perfect for a quick weekend away for a change of scenery, but would recommend wholeheartedly to those further afield. It's location is superb. Thanks to all at Alderstead Heath, we were made so very welcome.
Great site
Spent 6 days between Christmas and 2nd Jan and what a brilliant site to stay on. Excellent for trips into London using local taxi and train as well as just a short drive from Brighton. Staff are lovely, helpful and very friendly. Facilities block has everything you need and is spotlessly clean and are being refurbished soon too. Definitely worth revisiting and would recommend. Plenty of space for children to play with park and open space. lots of local walks and information available on site.
Lovely Site
Lovely site in a great location. Facilities were clean and well looked after. Nice pitches with two play areas so good for families. Lovely walks to local village church that served tea and cake on the Sunday afternoon. Wardens were friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
Typical Caravan Club site with reasonable access to London
A typical caravan club site. Good access from the M25 provided you follow the published directions. Don't be tempted to take the short cut along Dean Lane from the A23! Good train access into London from Couldsdon South railway station but note that parking at the station is very difficult at most times. The dog walk is ecxellent. The Fox pub nearby seems popular and is generally recommended. However we found the service there very poor and the food very average.
Just right for a short break
We have used Alderstead Heath a few times now at the beginning and end of each season and enjoyed ourselves. We use it as it's close to where we live and store the caravan but it offers everything we need in a short break. Despite it's closeness to the M25 and M23 you can immerse yourself in the countryside and enjoy walks all round. The Fox inn at Couldsdon South is about 2 miles away and a quick walk across the aptly named Happy Valley. The wardens have always been very helpful and the facilities are fit for purpose. The bottom block is closed in the Winter but with so few people about that doesn't matter at all. We will return!

Wet weekend
Our first trip out in our new van. The site was peaceful and friendly. Access is a bit tight if you don't follow the guides directions. Definitely will be visiting again when the suns shining
Weekend
Very quite and peaceful site, staff very friendly and welcoming. The only fly in the ointment was that the access road was closed and took another hour to get there, not the sites problem but when we left the road was open and would now definitely go back.
Peaceful stop on our way home
We spent 3 nights in November at this site on our way back home after almost 2 years of travelling in Europe in out motorhome. The site is set in a peaceful location with excellent, clean facilities. It's perfect for a trip to London although we didn't actually go anywhere! Perhaps next time. The wardens and assistant wardens were all lovely, very informative and friendly and the information hut was full of places to visit, the cost of taxis and train fairs and menus for local takeaways. Plus there is a book exchange/book sales section with a great selection. We decided to have an indian takeaway on our last night and it was delicious. We originally tried one recommended by the warden but they were unable to deliver that evening, so we used the Vojan instead and were really impressed. We had a set meal for two and there was absolutely loads of it. It would easily feed three people. They were happy to deliver to the site. There are plenty of walks from the site which are featured in the information hut, if you like a bit of exercise. All in all, a super site, well maintained and very friendly.
