Helpful and friendly staff

We had an enjoyable stay and the staff were helpful and engaging Thanks to Stu. We usually use CL sites so the bigger sites can seem a bit busy, but we found this one was quiet overall and some of the pitches were tucked away enough to give a sense of not being in a busy place. We were visiting friends and I can see the lack of parking for visitors could be a problem - Even getting picked up by a car or taxi needed tight timing as there is not a waiting area near the barriers and turning vehicles round to leave again is tight.

No facility for visitors to park

At last the approach road has been sorted out and there are no ramshackle wild campers cluttering the place up. Unfortunately, the proverbial baby has been thrown out with the bath water. The approach lane is now double yellow lines along its entire length, meaning that there is no off site parking for visitors within a reasonable distance of the site. The site does not allow any visitor parking ( this message was reinforced in the booking confirmation email), so don't use this site if you expect to welcome visitors. When I queried this lack of facility with the staff I was told that parking is available at the cafe in East Brighton Park or at the marina. This isn't particularly helpful if your visitor is a young mum with two kids and it's pouring with rain. Furthermore, the parking at the cafe isn't particularly welcoming with some of the broken down buses, vans etc now using that parking area having been moved from the lane. As we use Brighton site to meet with family and friends in the area, this is a big disincentive for us to continue using the site.

Noisy football match

A very good clean site. Very quiet until the football match started at 19:45 - Whitehawk Football Club is right next to the Motorhome site and the evening of 24 October they were playing at home against Bognor Regis. The noise of shouting and singing of rival fans was overpowering and very frightening. The site gave us no warning and since the football club is immediately adjacent to the site the management are obviously aware of the upheavel caused when home matches are on. The shouting ended by 22:00 so that was one blessing. We should have been made aware with signage in the reception so we could at least prepare of the noise.

An Excellent Site and Superb Wardens

We normally use CL and CS sites as we prefer a different ‘vibe’, but we used the Brighton site for a recee as one of our granddaughters is running in next years Brighton Marathon and we want to support her. The site is superbly kept, facilities are pristine and excellent and the wardens are brilliant. Alan deserves particular praise - on our last day, following a night of constant massive rain and wind (storm Babet) I managed to destroy the jockey wheel support bracket by failing to check that the wheel was correctly aligned before I used the motor mover from the other end of the caravan. Alan calmed a couple of elderly ‘headless chickens’, quietly took charge and managed to mend the bracket in quick time. He also gave me a couple of useful tips. We were massively impressed and grateful. Very well done and thank you so much! Michael and Jacqui Smith

End of 50's travelers

Good place top visit Brighton and with the coaster Bus Connection also the surrounded places. Easy top get inside/outside town Center, also for non residence of UK. If you Like to be Independent with Solar Energy, there is no Option to reduce the price of hardstanding pitch. No ECU is only available on Grass pitch. But when muddy No Option. IT would be great to offer more Options for Energy savers

Exceptional care from the wardens

This is the third time we've visited this site as our son lives in Brighton. It is always clean and tidy and the wardens are helpful, friendly and very hard working. This time we experienced exceptional care when my husband hurt his leg and needed to go to A&E at 9pm. They collected him from our pitch to meet the taxi, came and checked that I was OK, and let the taxi back in. They checked up on his recovery over the following days. The site is ideal with a dog as they can be exercised in the park at the entrance. Trips into Brighton and further afield are made easy by the excellent and frequent bus service from the bus station (15 minute walk) or the marina (20 minutes).

Too expensive

Paid £50 for two people per night in a small camper van. No option for no hook up to make it any cheaper which would be fine as we have solar and good leisure batteries. Very noisy at night. Staff very friendly and facilities clean. Too few showers at block nearest gate - queues in the morning. Best avoid this site in peak periods. Disappointing.

Not for us but perfect to visit Brighton

Usual clean well kept facilities with great wardens. Acknowledging it's peak holiday season, the site is very busy with families and european port stopovers. The site has been noisy well after 10pm children playing and screaming, Children ride around the site roads on bikes continually. Excellent public transport, situated inside a lovely park not far from the Marina ( which is looking a little tired), great little cafe on site. Not the site for us we like a bit of peace and quiet. Site fees£49. Perfect if you want to visit Brighton .

Brighton Stay - Good, but ...

Although we stayed in a midweek slot in an uncharacteristically wet July, it was pleasant bar for a couple of observations: 1. Some families don't understand the C&MC 'quiet time' policy after 2200. Kids still noisily playing out on the play areas after dark or some people transiting the park from gate to pitch rather drunk and vocal well after hours 2. Brighton - please sort out your WiFi situation. You advertise the 'basic' free package but our pitch (66) was practically WiFi blind. The enhanced WiFi package wasn't available (despite being advertised) because of some or other BT capability problem. We have remote CCTV on an elderly relative whilst away and regardless of a more traditional approach to caravanning by some, access to reliable, strong WiFi should now be a standard feature and easily optioned. This is also a problem when using a fallback option of 4G and 5G which is pifflingly poor in that region and C&MC need to campaign to get network providers to up their game immediately.

Hard Standing Pegs Warning

If you book a hard standing pitch and you are using an awning then you must have rock pegs. The type you screw in with a drill do not work. Thin metal pegs will not work. You will need a club hammer to get them in the ground and ideally a claw hammer or crow bar to remove them, peg pullers do not work. Otherwise this site is excellent and we will be back.
