Fantastic!

We just spent 5 nights at East Brighton Park and were really impressed with it's cleanliness and facilities. Our dogs were welcomed, we were welcomed, and we found all the staff very friendly and helpful. The situation is ideal, nestled beneath the South Downs for amazing walks, and close to the marina and Brighton town. Lots of local shops nearby (10 mins walk) and a visiting chip van on Thursday evenings. There is a more local walk for the dogs, in a lovely park with a cafe for coffee and snacks. The showers/toilet blocks are spotless, heated (it felt like) and with piped radio music, very welcoming. A slight disturbance on the Friday night with drunken lads leaving the next door football club, but nothing threatening or ongoing. A genuinely lovely site which we have already booked again for Whitsun week.

Bit like living in Singapore with so many rules and regulations

On arriving on our pitch after 4 hour drive-parked up dogs on lead to go outside Immediately jumped on by warden "can't let the dogs do anything on this site- you have to take them off site" Try telling the dogs that! People smoking in the toilets Kids playing in the toilets and racing round on bike Black bin bags left outside some homes- got at by the foxes mess everywhere During our 4 night stay dogs were routinely being exercised on the site and not a word from the wardens- we felt the only silly idiots walking (a very long way) to let the dogs do the necessary Dog walk nearby Huh! If you are going to have very strict rules then the apply to all-if not don't have them! Sorry to all scoring this a 4 or 5 star- for us its one of the worst sites we have visited. Never again

A great location

We stayed on this site for 4 nights, and it was great. It's a large site right on the edge of Brighton, so it attracts lots of families with young children, so it's not the quietest of sites. The location itself is great, come out of the site and turn right and you're in Brighton, turn left and you have the coastline to explore. We visited Eastbourne and Beachey Head, both are beautiful places.

Well located site

We spent 3 nights at Brighton and found the site to be very conveniently located. A short walk to shops and down to the marina and a pleasant walk into Brighton. Bus stops also a short walk away and we were able to use our bus passes. The bus to Eastbourne is along a very scenic route.

Site Gets Better

Been visiting this site twice a year for 14 years. Over the last 2 years the toilet/shower facilities, pitches and flowers at the site entrance have been the best ever.The wardens work extremely hard to keep standards high. Good large pitches with good generous space between pitches. This site is extremely easy to access. Excellent dog walks from site, or walk into Brighton along coast road. Bus stops within 10 minutes walk, for Brighton or Eastbourne. Can highly recommend the local fish and chips shop at Whitehawk. Good play area for young children. Can be a little noisy when local football team (Whitehawk) are playing at home. So if like us your dog is sensitive to noises it is best to find something to do off site on match days.

The week before Easter

Visited the site for 6 days during the week before Easter and leaving on Good Friday, like a previous reviewer I do not think it right for the club to charge peak prices for this week so that's the moan out of the way. We had visited the site several times in the past as we like the area and are particularly fond of the very regular bus services from not far from the site. This suits us as we both have bus passes. The site is maintained immaculately and the wardens are very helpful if you have a problem.

Great site, shame about some people being dirty scumbags!!

Lovely site and wardens friendley and helpfull, great for the dogs with East Brighton park just outside the gate. NOW TIME FOR RANT !!!, The wardens work hard and keep the place shipshape, they shouldnt have to put up with dirty scumbags, in one of the gents showers some dirty scum had done a no 2s, why the hell when there are toilets in the same block and if something untoward happens why the f dont they clear up after themselves??, what is their house like if this is how they behave?. Feal really sorry for the wardens as all their hard work keeping the site and facilities clean and tidy is ruined by the scumbucket!!. If i found out who done this they would get it smeared in their scumbag face!. END OF RANT !! Will deffo come back here as Brighton is such a nice sea side place and the site is great !

All round excellence

I liked this site which was really well kept, clean and fresh and bright and open – with no sign of the claustrophobic, shut-in atmosphere of so many sites. The wardens who greeted me were new, that day, but they were friendly and welcoming, even though I was a bit late. The site is very big. Some pitches are on a slightly higher level than most. If you rely on your feet to get you around you won’t want to be pitched too far from the entrance. It’s a good walk along the road from the site entrance to the main road and then to buses (which are very frequent with opportunities to go much farther afield) and shops. As a consequence you’ll probably be wanting to keep the walk from your pitch to the entrance to a minimum. The farthest most pitches are a quarter of a mile from the entrance. That’s an observation not a criticism. It is how it is and no one expects change. The walk back, whether from the nearest bus, the shops or the marina (in total the marina is a little over a mile’s walk) is almost entirely uphill. The shower blocks were excellent and the motorhome service points very good – especially the one nearest the entrance which allows easy access. It lacks the new style drainage points but hopefully that will come soon. The pitches were excellent too. It is a shame there is no access to the downs to the east of the site from the site itself, but these can be accessed from a small park about two thirds of the way down the lane to the site. These lovely rolling hills afford really great walks and some truly beautiful views to the coast, Peacehaven and Brighton. The Whitehawk football club is immediately adjacent to the site. If there’s a match on during your stay, I imagine this could be distracting; but this is hardly a show stopper given the short time involved and the infrequent number of occasions it will occur. The fish I had from the fish and chip van was one of the best pieces of fish I have had from a chippie in years. Unfortunately, the chips did not match this high level of distinction, tasting rather like the oven variety (though they weren't). Why are "van" chips never like traditional chip-shop chips? Anyway, this is not very relevant to the fact that Brighton CC Site is most definitely a very good place to be and I much liked it and everything about it. I would highly recommend it.

PRICING

Great site we use it regularly (son at Brighton uni) but have to say staying last weekend two nights £62 for two adults, week before 2 nights £42 and 2 weeks time £42. A 50% increase just because its a week before Easter, ( schools not even finished for Easter yet) !! I feel its a real shame the caravan club have to join the band wagon of exploiting families who can only take these holiday times and increase their rates for such an extended period with no increase of the services on offer, yes we could have gone on a different weekend but the 50% increase had never crossed my mind.

Really nice site

stayed for four nights in March, this is a lovely site close to the marina and Brighton pier. It is easy to get to avoiding Brighton city centre. The site is kept really nice, with a pleasant Radio 2 playing in the toilet block (some sites seem to have stopped this pleasantry) and had a very relaxed atmosphere. Despite it being cold weather we enjoyed our short break here and hope to go again when the weather is warmer.
