Perfect pitches at a perfect location

As a Dutch family, we were a bit hesitant to become a member of the Caravan Club. But then we came across this campsite on the internet, and decided to become a member anyway. This turned out to be a very good choice. We went to the campsite 10 - 19 July 2016, it was very quite (except for the sounds of the birds) and very green. The pitch we got was very big, we have a caravan and an awning and we still had lots of space around. The wardens were very helpful and friendly. The campsite is very suitable for dogs, there's a nice long dog walk leading to Catsfield directly from the campsite, we used it very often to walk our dog. At the time we were there, there were lots of dog owners staying, but not so many children. There are some facilities for children on the campsite (a playground and a football field), but not too many. There's no wifi, but personally I think that these maybe somewhat limited facilities lead to a very calm feel of the campsite, which I really apreciate. The location of the campsite is very good: Battle is a very nice and cosy village, and cities like Hastings and Brighton aren't too far away. The beach is very close as well, which is especially nice on hot days. All in all we had a great holiday, we really loved the campsite and all the rabbits on it. Only one downside really: there are lots and lots and lots of pigeons!

History and happy times

First visit to this site at Battle despite living within 30 miles and being frequent visitors to Hythe for weekends and short breaks but we will now be alternating between the two from now on. This is a lovely site, very well maintained with excellent wardens who couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. Some pitches are in small or even single bays while others are in slightly larger configurations. There is an excellent children’s play area and ball sports area for the children on site. There are lots of places of interest to visit within a short drive, Battle Abbey itself, Batemans and Bodiam Castle to name but a few, and Hastings has lots to do for old and young alike. There is a nice walk from the site to the nearby village which had a little shop, a pub and a sausage shop in it. This is on the 1066 trail so keen walkers can easily walk further in either direction. Rye has a lovely nature reserve at the harbour and a pretty town centre with interesting shops too. We were there for 9 nights and still had plenty of places on our list to visit so a return visit is certain. No WiFi is a bit on an issue in this day and age but there was a good mobile signal (both 3G and 4G on O2 anyway) so not a disaster if you know how to set up a personal hotspot for downloading newspapers (sold in the shop to order too) etc. It would also have been nice to have had some information panels about the layout of the site in relation to the old Normanhurst Court of which many features are still evident like they have done with the old gunpowder factory in Kendal.

Nice location.

We picked this site as it was close to friends we were visiting for a Golden Wedding celebration. The site was good and facilities were clean. We were pitched at the top of the site and this can be noisy at times with motorbikes going past over the weekend. There is no internet and "nothing available" from the local area. TV reception was difficult at times. We had a good time visiting friends. The wardens were very helpful.

High standard

Although only our 3rd camping trip and 1st caravan club location, we cannot fault this beautiful site. Staff all friendly and approachable and facilities are spotless. Enjoyed our week stay and will be going back in the near future.

Almost Perfect

This, and no doubt other club sites, would be perfect was it not for the dog owners who allow their dogs to foul the green areas - not outside their own van of course - instead of keeping the dog under control, on a short lead, until they reach the dog walking area. This habit is unacceptable.

Almost perfect

This was a lovely clean and tidy site and the toilets and showers were the usual high standard expected from the caravan club.  My only criticism is the difference in pitches - I would recommend you arrive early as all the best pitches go first.  Also the male warden was helpful but a tad officious.

Good site.

Very nice site, generally peaceful,it is in parts very tree covered, and as mentioned the TV signal is difficult, but sometimes on holiday that might be a good thing LOL.You can find faults with any site, and the ones on this site a very minor as far as I am concerned. The one thing I would mention is where we stayed on pitch 32, quiet but a bit dark cos of tress,the next door pitch 31, has it's lead crossing a track, leading to an area where all the grass and hedge cuttings are dumped.Therefore the ride on mowers used will,in th summer,be going over your cable regularly.I have to say though,that the site is a credit to the team that is running it,the toilets etc are immaculate,and the info section so far I have seen is second to none.The only other dodgy bit is the entrance,if someone is waiting to come out or meets you at the gate you could be left stuck out the middle of the road on a couple of bends,I feel the gate should be moved further down,and as said before a bit clearer signage for the entrance,I almost went down the narrow lane to the left,beware.Will return lovely area.
