Pleasant Site
This was our first time here and having read other reviews we were looking forward to our week. The site reflects the hard work being put in by the Wardens. I cannot comment on attitude, other than we did not experience any problems. The site is a great launch pad to visit other places and we enjoyed meeting the many visiting overseas caravaners. The building works adjacent to the site was an issue, with 7.30 wake up from drills etc and I am not sure when the build is likely to be completed. We are early risers so it was not too much of an issue but feel there should be some prior notice at the booking stage.
We found Brighton a disappointment, so wont be coming back, but that is not a reflection on the site.

Something for Everyone
A lovely site, but what would you expect from a Club Site?
The site in situated in the Sheepcote Valley that affords the site good protection from the weather while maintaining an open and spacious feel. It's a busy site but the friendly staff still have time to give everyone a warm welcome and are always happy help or answer those niggling questions.
The work of the staff can be seen throughout the site, which is maintained in pristine condition, the grounds are spotless and well manicured and the same can be said for the excellent facilities blocks of which there are two.
Out and about, the South Downs are on the doorstep and Brighton's marina with its shops and large supermarket just a short but downhill walk and Brighton just a short bus ride away.
The site provides a great location to explore this part of the country.
Gone downhill
I'm not going to go on about the noise as previous comments have stated this. I loved this site last year, it was so friendly, however I am sick to death listening to the wardens when doing their round comparing notes on how they reprimanded certain people, it's like stick them in a caravan club uniform and it gives them the right to be power crazed dictators. I won't be retuning.

Noise and poor customer service 06/07/16
We first visited this site at Easter 2015 and we were delighted with the site and our stay. We arrived this time at 12.25 on our first day, only to be told there were limited spaces and some of these in the higher part of the site were "a bit noisy" we soon found out this was an understatement. People who were due to leave that day hadn't, which didn't help finding a pitch We found the wardens to be very off hand and almost to the point of power crazy (after touring round to find a pitch, we spoke to people about noise) then going back to see if a pitch was free we mentioned that there were some unhappy people up the top end and they just laughed. Rules seemed to apply to some but not others. Building work was starting between 06.30 and 07.00 on weekdays. We will NOT be returning to this site for at least a year- 18 months until building work has finished and wardens have changed. On the up side toilets etc were always clean and tidy.
Shame about the building work
We have stayed at the Brighton site for the last 5 years and from last year twice a year, one week in the summer and a week after Boxing day, we cant fault the site or the wardens, but our last weeks stay from Saturday 2nd July was slightly ruined buy the constant building work going on in the college, we found it started at 8am and was constant most of the day during the week, its a shame as its such a lovely site, our daughter and granddaughter came down for a visit on the Saturday, I took her to the park and it was shut, when I asked the wardens they said it was shut as a piece of equipment was broken, so they shut the whole park, so if you have children are planning to stay over the summer school holidays it might pay to ring the site to see if the play park is open. hopefully when we go back after Christmas the building work will be completed, but apart from the building noise its still one of our favourite sites.
Large site no character
Arrived for 3 night stay. Allocated a pitch far end of the site. Very open , so no respite from the wind and rain . Building work going on behind the site so drilling and general construction noise from 7.30 onwards . They say a 10 min.walk to bus stop but more like 20 very tedious . We didn't have a car so used public transport all the time . The buses were excellent once you got to them . Not a site we would return to . Bit like a parking lot for caravans and motor homes.
Recent stay
This was our 2nd stop on our south coast tour.The site was very busy on our arrival and we ended up on the higher part of the site which was a small trek to the toilet block which were kept very clean.We spent 4 nights here as we wanted to have a look around Brighton. The bus stop is about 10 minutes from the the site near the lidl buses left every 6 minutes to Brighton the marina is close by with its shops cinema and restaurants. There is a bit of noise from the building site during the day otherwise a quite sitems. Would we return certainly. Next stop the Centary site in the New Forest hope the weather improves.
Good Touring Base
An excellent city site with an out of town feel. The site is well managed and all facilities are spotlessly maintained. There is a small park suitable for younger children. Pitches are spacious with easy access. HOWEVER, DO NOT TRY TO ERECT AN AWNING WITHOUT TESTING THE GROUND. Some pitches will not allow rock pegs to be driven in more than 2 or 3 inches. We were unable to erect our awning - first time in 34 years. The wardens are aware of this issue and the Club needs to address the problem. Discount supermarkets and others are within a mile of the site. Brighton's West Marina is within 20 minutes walking or five minute drive. Fuel, shops and supermarkets are accommodated within a brutal concrete environment. However, the seaward side of the marina is quite attractive and has a wide range of restaurants. I will use this site again.

Don't believe everything.
Just returned home from this site which we found to be extremely well maintained from the pitches to the toilet block.
The team worked tirelessly especially as the storms hit pretty bad.
Site traffic was slow and tolerant of pedestrians and no noise other than nearby building works.
The site drained super quick from many torrential downpours.
Yes it's not a pleasant walk to the bus stops which serve most parts of town every six minutes or the marina but hardly the fault of the site managers.
The Whitehawk bus service was brilliant and the stop was convenient for shopping at the Coop or Lidl. Services from Brighton to Eastbourne and to Worthing are clearly marked at the never ending bus stops. Use North St for the Lanes and Churchill Sq for interouts.
So had a great time regardless of the weather
