My wife and I aged 65+ used this site for a 3 night break starting 3rd December 2017. We expected that there wouldn’t be many other campers and we were surprised to find that the site was busy, we didn’t see any “young” campers. Most of the members were probably in the retirement bracket. The site was very clean and well maintained. The toilet blocks were extremely clean, the temperature maintained at 20 -22 degrees coupled with piped music.
The only downside of this site is that it’s in a quiet location of Brighton near the marina and located at the end of a long driveway which is unlit and makes you feel vulnerable if walking after dark.
Access into Brighton centre or the marina is very easy by frequent bus transport. However the walk to the bus stop is ok but not very pleasant after dark.
The wardens were very pleasant, friendly and helpful and had a good knowledge of the area.
Lovely site which I will visit again and strongly recommend to others.
Spent another 8 days here at the end of November. Apart from a weekend rally the site was pretty quiet. Facilities spotless as always. Rottingdean is a lovely place to walk to, along the undercliff walk, with an excellent museum featuring Kipling and Burne Jones.
We tend to walk or bus as the traffic around Brighton is horrendous. Site is an excellent base for seeing Sussex.
This site measures up to all of the high standards one has come to expect from the Caravan Club. However we are now part of the Caravan and Motorhome Club. Believe me that has a huge impact. When we visited this site recently expecting a quiet end of season break the place was heaving with Motorhomes. Lots of engines running. Lots of chaos around the motorhome waste disposal and for some reason most seemed to have dogs. So there was always one dog barking at any one time. Goodness knows what it will be like in high season. Perhaps us established caravanners won't be able to get in.
Had yet another great stay here, the wardens very welcoming and friendly.
Not sure why the toilet block needs to be shut for cleaning for so long when it is not over busy. The hot water in the dishwashing area was far from hot, I did report it, it didn't seem to improve.
Great location.
Our family have visited this site several times and it never fails to live up to it's first class reputation. The staff are always helpful, polite and thoroughly organised. The site itself is always clean, tidy and a showcase of what a first class British site should be like . . . thank you.
Returned to this site again and had a great half term break at Brighton. Really helpful wardens printed out our Brighton Pier Amusement Ride Wristbands that we ordered the day before which saved us 25%, plus they told us about the Sealife 50% off Vouchers. Aldi supermarket close to the site, and a very big Asda down near the Marina. Parked the car at the Marina for 4 free hours parking as the wind was really strong and my 8 year old did not fancy the walk from the site. The world's oldest Electric railway,the Volks Railway was open at half term this year - a lovely surprise. Hove Museum was a good little museum to spend an hour at. Cycling along the front is nice and easy with its dedicated cycle lane (although it is a hill on the way back). Whitehawk FC fans were quite noisy on the Saturday afternoon, but it was not for long, and we gathered that they won! Toilets lovely and clean, and the washing up area was excellent. Radio 2 playing was nice to hear when washing up. Enjoyed ourselves again and will certainly visit again.
Loved this site! Good walking around the area, close to the lovely marina and shops. Visited the Pavilion which was wonderful, I would recommend this to all. Love the music in the shower blocks. Staff very friendly and helpful, always on hand. We stayed 9 nights and can't wait to go back
We always enjoy our stay at the Brighton C&M site, we love the open space and the proximity to the Marina which is just a 10 minute walk to Asda and all the restaurants & cinema, or the promenade for a 45 minute walk into Brighton.
We realise that the Autumn is the time for hedge cutting and the annual tidy up... but all we heard all day long all week was the sound of petrol driven garden machinery, what a pity they couldn't have split their time on site to give us holiday makers a day or two break from the noise.
Is this something the Caravan & Motorhome Club could address?
We stayed here for two nights arriving on a Saturday afternoon. The road to the site was horrendous as there is a sports field on this and people were being dropped off or collected which made the road congested, especially when an ambulance was waiting for the air ambulance to land to collect a patient. Other than this it didnt affect our stay and we will revisit another time. The site is walkable to Brighton Marina or into town if you are able or there is a bus stop opposite Lidl that takes you into town, details are available from the wardens re buses. Our pitch was in a good position and level. Shower block was clean, didnt mind the music playing. The wardens were all very pleasant and helpful and I would have no hesitation of returning to this site.
