Not very user friendly.

I would not recommend this site please read this: BRIGHTON CARAVAN CLUB SITE My mum and dad have been members of the caravan club for over 20 years. 3 months ago my dad suddenly passed away 3 days before they were due to go to Spain for 3 months. My mum had never driven the motorhome before but we took her away a couple of weeks ago and she did great. We encouraged her to go away again and she did last week I recommended going to a caravan club site and if she gets stuck with anything she could ask the wardens to help. She did great until Thursday morning she woke up let the dog out on the caravan club regulation 3m rope. She then noticed the fridge had stopped working. She tried several things but couldn't get it working. She called myself and I was trying to talk her through checking if the Electric had tripped or a breaker in the van had tripped I then tried to get her onto gas. By this time the dog was still outside and had done what dogs do first thing on my mums pitch.It's a border collie so it's not a huge accident. She had been out 10 minutes and mum went to clean it up. A little later the warden came and said there had been a complaint. Mum rang me rather upset. So I rang the wardens and tried to explain, mum had lost her husband this is her first solo trip. The fridge had stopped working etc and the accident had only been there a maximum 10 minutes. She said is you mum a member, I said yes for many years. Her reply was well she should know the rules. I said surely there are far worse things and she hung up on me. I rang back and thanked her for being so helpful she said you are being sarcastic and hung up. She then went to my mum and said she was reporting us. Then when mum left she said again you will be getting a letter. I am furious and the attitude of these people. Yes dog fouling is not nice but 10 minutes on your own pitch. It is about time this country started the customer with some respect, after all if it were not for them there would be no business.

Comment from the Club:

We are very sorry to read your comments about your stay.  We take complaints very seriously and this issue will now be investigated through our official complaint channels at the Club.

Very good site

Went to this site for whit week holiday enjoy the walk into Brighton and vist Dottie cafe in the park which is run by a deaf family who use BSL, we had a good breakfast there in the park Also visit the pavilion which had BSL handset great for the Deaf it helps us to understand all of the history in the Pavilion We visit the British Airway i360 worth a visit. The warden on the site where helpful and friendly as they learned to use BSL and being welcome us in sign Langauge was nice surprise. We enjoyed our stay very much never anywhere like this with BSL Great site will go again Felt like being treated equal to the hearing world

Good site for the fit

You need to be fit and a good walker to camp at this site. Site itself is quite a hike away from Brighton town centre. Buses to Brighton are frequent but the bus stop is about ten to fifteen minutes walk away from the campsite through the park, as is the local Lidl. Parking in Brighton itself is tricky. The train that runs along the prom was out of action when we visited. The site sprawls a bit in the way of layout, so loo blocks can be some distance from one's pitch. No queues for showers even though site was full, so I guess most campers have given up on the loo trek and used their own on board facilities. Spotless facilities in the way of shower/loo blocks/food prep/washing up. Pitches are a good size, most are hardstanding. Quite tough going with the tent pegs on the hardstanding. Camp wardens are efficient, well informed and friendly. The place runs like clock work and is kept well. Fish and Chip Van and Pizza Van call once a week at site which is a bonus. There is a café in the nearby park, which opens 9-5 which is worth a visit. The site is mostly tranquil and quiet but it is near a sports field so there can be a little noise in the early evening but we did not find this a problem Wi-Fi for which one pays is so very... very... slow

Great site

Excellent site, very peaceful due to being in East Brighton Park, no traffic noise. If fact so quiet you can hear people in their awnings talking after dark. Very helpful wardens, good modern facilities, short walk to bus and supermarket, good bus services to the town. I expect we will return as we had to cut the visit short due to illness.

Good site

First time to this site,stayed a week. Good location good facilities good wardens good for everything we wanted. We walked everywhere,as we do,and thoroughly enjoyed the area. The ride on the i360 and lunch afterwards was well worth the money (£30 each). Booked to stay again in September. What better endorsement is that?

An enjoyable stay

We have been using this site since it opened and it will always be Sheepcote Valley to me no matter what the club may decide to call it. There have been some less than helpful wardens over the years but the current team are probably the best we have encountered. It's a busy site so it is not the most peaceful place on earth, but there was no undue noise or disturbance. Pity they can't do something about vistor parking. Plenty of eating places etc at the Marina - The Cherry Tree is highly recommended.

Brighton Belle

Lovely site, good location (not recommended for the less able, as the site is fine, but the walk to the marina is taxing). Staff very helpful, facilities excellent as always. This is our second visit here, and both have been pleasurable experiences.

Had a great time!

We visited here with our 3 children on the May bank hol. Very helpful friendly staff as we are caravan newbies :) . Spotless facilities (someone's thoughtless mess in the ladies cleaned up promptly) . Brighton Marina is a short walk away and it's also easy to get the bus into the city centre from outside McDonalds. Very quiet and peaceful sire despite being a busy weekend and there's a great play area for the kids down the track on the right as you walk out of the site. We will definitely go back!

Mid week break

Booked this site with friends for a couple of nights. Very friendly staff and the facilities were what you would expect from a Caravan Club Site. Ideally placed for a visit to Brighton, we caught the bus into the centre and spent the day visiting the Lanes and the Pavilions. Although the weather wasn't that good we had a great time. The only down side we had was the touring Fish and Chip van. I would give this a miss as the chips were soggy and the fish was supposed to be cod but looked grey and very unappetizing.

Great stay

Great location, 10 mins walk through the park to Brighton Marina which has an ASDA superstore and various food outlets - TGI, Frankie and Benny's, McDonalds, whetherspoons pub etc. It is quite a hilly walk from the roadway down to the front, some may find it a struggle to get back up. Lovely walk along the front into Brighton centre
