Brighton 2018

We arrived around 5:30 Friday afternoon, staff couldn't be more helpful. Smiling, helpful & informative both in the office & the guys outside keeping the park looking great ! Showers & toilet immaculate ! Beautiful surroundings but bring your bikes it's a trek down to Brighton ... bus service from just round the corner is good too.

Brilliant site in a good location

I would highly recommend this site and would definitely go again if we’re in that area. We stayed on a grass pitch and had the best of the sun and shade from the trees. The shower and toilet block were immaculate and the shower shower were one of the best I’ve ever used It’s a bit of a walk down to the marina but all downhill and well worth it. We also walked into town which ended up being about a 4 mile walk and both times we got a taxi back as we have 2 elderly dogs who probably wouldn’t have made the return trip! The taxis are very dog friendly in Brighton A fish and chip van visits on a Friday and I can we’re very scrummy!! Brilliant site

Great site on the slopes of Vesuvious

I have just spent 10 days at Brighton and agree with previous reviewers that the site is in a great location but the pitches are not fit for purpose.. I was unable to put up my awning even with rock pegs on my hard standing with awning serviced pitch. I raised the issue with a female warden who responded with some drivel about there being underground movement turning the ground into concrete. This is Brighton not Pompeii. The site has not been hit by a pyroclastic flow.. Come on give us some credit. This site is on the South Downs which are limestone and soft rock. Also, during my stay, the WIFI did not work once, the phone hardly worked at all and my outfit was covered in tree sap from the overhanging trees on my service pitch. Would I go there again.. yes but when the club has refurbed it.

Good BUT

Nice site and all the benefits of Brighton. Pity that the ever increasing number of M/H seem unable to park correctly on this site. Just seen one with continental door and large awning imposing on neighbours space, only good point was neighbour was also a M\H. Just a pity that the wardens don't better define Owhich way to pitch depending on which side your door faces. Yes nice site just wish the club would better manage parking.

Another Nice site BUT

This was the second time of camping here and although the welcome seemed much friendlier than previous the facilities were still lacking. Being a disabled pensioner I find somethings more difficult than others. I requested a pitch for an awning and near facilities. I was indeed well placed for the facilities, right opposite in fact, but pitching the awning was quite something else. Being on hardstanding normal pegs are totally insufficient, I had to go down the coast a bit and get some rock pegs (no caravan accessory shops actually in Brighton). Some went in easier than others but you do need a steel claw hammer or you will never get them out, Some wouldn't go in at all and bent despite being extra strong, even after drilling holes with a masonary drill. It can also be a bit windy so awning damage can occur. I found the sanitary facilities sadly lacking as there were no designated disabled facilities. The only disabled concession in the toilet/shower block were a few grab rails on the wall but not much good if you cannot access the toilet/shower cubicles with your wheelchair or need a bit more room than your average cubicle allows. The access road is a bit potholed and long but well placed for getting out and about and shops are virtually on the doorstep as is the hospital and seafront. The beach can get a bit rough as I found out when two thugs decided I was ripe for assaulting while sitting minding my own business. The site itself is reasonably quiet and kept very clean & tidy. There is a pizza van and a fish & chip van that visit during the week which makes a change from cooking. It is a nice area and plenty of coast to see, and countryside. Sheffield Park Estate in Uckfield is a very pleasant NT garden to visit, especially in April/May for the rhododendrons of which there are many & autumn when the trees are changing colour. Worth spending a few hours, plenty of trees to shelter under if it rains, and a nice cafe.

Lovely site BUT

TOTALLY AGREE with previous review. We have been coming to this site for over 15 years to visit relations twice a year. We only come for a week at a time without the awning because of the impossible task of putting in the pegs in the HARD standing pitches. We would love to come for 2 weeks at a time and bring the awning but it's not possible because we can't put pegs in. Over the the last 3/4 years the pitches have been renewed and this is when this problem started for us. If it wasn't for visiting relatives we wouldn't use this site for this reason. Yes CC please sort it. To make it one of the best sites on the network.

Fantastic; except!!

Stayed for three weeks May into June, been here quite a few times and it never disappoints, friendly & spotless. My major complaint is the same as one mentioned in a post on 30th March, the pitch itself, impossible to drive heavy duty pegs in even using a lump hammer, also provided with a chisel by staff to no avail, even tried to drill "pilot holes" after buying new drill bits but succeeded in ruining a perfectly good drill. We have a large twin axle van with full awning requiring around 30 pegs but managed only 10, 4 of which were in the grass at the back. To their credit the staff did offer to help us move but having already put groundsheets (3) corner units & a wardrobe inplace plus the usual table & chairs it was just to much hassle. Come on Club sort it out before people start voting with there feet.

Great location for Madeira Drive event

The logistics of towing both our trailer caravan and the car trailer - complete with classic car - to Brighton for participation in the 30th London to Brighton Classic Car Run posed a challenge! Like, where to park !! The site wardens were most helpful and we were able to temporarily park the trailer on our pitch (instead of an awning!) when we took the classic (a 1967 Autobianchi Bianchina Berlina - small but beautiful!) to Greenwich for the start and after the event's finish on Madeira Drive. We'll be back! Thank you !!

Great Base for Visiting Brighton

Excellent base for us to attend a wedding at the Bandstand particularly with Free phone service at reception. Sea front and The Lanes full of interest but Marina very underwhelming BUT access road is very poor
