Second time

We spent 2 weeks here mid may. The access road is generally fine, only when there was an event in the park did traffic become a problem for access and egress. The wardens/assistant wardens were up to the usual high standard i.e. polite, efficient and helpful. On arrival there were not many pitches available, but one of the extended pitches was available and suited us grand. The facilities are also fine and cleaned to the expected standard. I have marked this down for peace and quiet for two reasons, firstly there are major building works (Brighton University) to the west and secondly the majority of drivers completely fail to observe the 5mph speed limit (Caravan Club Officers Please Note). In fact I was almost rolled down the side of a motor home by some clod proceeding at a rate well in excess of 5 mph. The site is well sited for a host of interesting places. The marina has retail outlets and many recognised eating establishments. Fishing on the western arm was not available due to construction works. During good weather Brighton is an enjoyable walk and when inclement there are plenty of buses. Yes we will return.

Fell short of what I was expecting.....

I rarely write a negative review, but this time it is appropriate.... Just returned from the long Bank Holiday weekend in Brighton..... 1) My family were worried about security as the local park had 20+ traveler vans in it, we were told by the wardens not to be concerned, but the police being on site made it very difficult. 2) I respect that being a warden is a tough job and normally the staff on Caravan Club suites are excellent, sadly this weekend the staff were not at their best, or worse they are always rude/difficult/unhelpful, this does not help the image of our club and I really do hope they/we can improve in the future....

This town site has everything except sand!

We stayed here in May 2016. The site has a wonderful position in a fold of the downs.The weather was great during our visit and we took a scenic ten minute walk down from East Brighton Park to the main road where we could catch a bus to the middle of the town, or find a supermarket.The site is beautifully kept and a haven for rabbits. We happened to visit at the beginning of Brighton festival and had a great day out. Lots of choice where to eat and a decent shopping centre. Personally we didn't like the Marina but there are a lot of shops there. We had a grand couple of days but didn't visit the beach which is all pebbles so can't comment on that.

April Visit

We spent two weeks here in April. Getting to the site is straightforward, but there is a tight left hand turn (coming down the hill) into the access road for the park and Caravan Site.  The site is beautifully kept as are the facilities which are very clean. The wardens are friendly and helpful.  We were pitched close to the entrance which meant we could get to the bus in about 10 minutes. The site was very quiet except when there is a football match on which was only once in the two weeks. This was about our fourth visit to the site over the years and it won't be our last.

Fantastic weekend in the sun

Spent a fantastic weekend in lovely sunny weather at Brighton site. As usual wardens were excellent, lending a hand when we couldn't undo our oil cap filler! The site was full but was lovely and peaceful and great place to chill after trips to a very busy Brighton. Excellent bus service near site to Brighton.

Perfect stay for Marathon Weekend

Used this site for the Brighton Marathon and couldn't have asked for more. Wardens friendly on arrival, good size pitches and immaculate toilet blocks. Site located at approx. mile 7 on the marathon course. Took an hour to walk to the start line at Preston Park. Used the Marina to eat, lots of choice and only 20 mins from site. Centre of Brighton about a 2 mile walk away. Found this site to be quiet with walks for dogs nearby. Will be back next year :)

Staff at Brighton

We stayed on this site from 9/4/16 until 13/4/16 and on arrival we found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. They kept the site immaculately clean during our stay. As we have stayed here for many years due to visiting family in Brighton I can say that this site is in the best state of care that we have known it. On leaving I had trouble with the 13 pin plug on our new caravan, ( a common problem I discovered) so I went to the office to say I would be leaving late. Not only did they have an alignment tool on hand but Tim proceeded to fix my problem even though it was a busy period for him. All in all they made a pleasurable visit to family even more so.

Lovely site - shame the couldn't embrace the marathon

This is a perfectly good site. Facilities are to the normal high stand. Location is quite and only a couple of miles to the centre of Brighton. Having been to a number of large city marathon's this is the first time we have stayed in a location that ignored the event. 10s of thousands of people coming to a city  is great for the economy and tourism. But to.make it special you need to adapt. Especially as I suspect a large proportion of people staying this weekend are here for this event. So here's some ideas for next year. Do a deal with the taxi firm and arrange shared transport for competitors to the start. Booked in advance.  Allow late check outs that day so that people don't have to vacate the site at a stupid time and search for parking. Perhaps a restaurant would consider offering pasta takeout meals. Or cooked to order by reception. So it's worth a visit if you are coming to Brighton but don't  expect any special consideration if you are here for the marathon weekend. It's not their job.

What a pity

This used to be a lovely site, relaxed and with a bit of a buzz about it.  The location is wonderful, between the south downs and with easy bus ride to the city. It is now expensive and it seems to have been taken over by officious wardens (maybe warders) who seem to be more bothered about enforcing petty rules and regulations about parking and riding round on their noisy and smelly little tractors which fill the site with diesel fumes.  This used to be a lovely site, we have been coming for years but will be looking for an alternative.

A great site

This was our first stay at a Caravan Club site and it exceeded all our expectations. The facilities were amazingly clean, the site -although busy was very peaceful and the staff friendly. Great for visiting Brighton although a little step by foot there is a bus nearby, however we walked one way and caught the Volks Railway back which was lovely. We will certainly be back
