Darren and Amanda - superstars!!

Just wished to commend Darren and Amanda for being so kind and caring when my father was unwell whilst at the site. They both went above and beyond to ensure he was okay and even after he was feeling better continued to check-in on him and my mum. Their kindness meant a lot to my parents - making them feel like a welcomed and valued part of the community, whilst away from home. I too have camped on numerous occasions and they are always super helpful, patient, and hospitable. They are passionate about their work, and ready to go the extra mile to ensure your stay is extra special. They certainly have the brilliant basics down and their magic touches continue to shine through on each visit. They are an absolute credit to the Caravan and Motorhome Club and they are very blessed to have such a great couple working for them! Keep up the good work Darren and Amanda :-) PS - Steve is also an absolute star - always a delight to see and have a chat to and ready to lend a hand if necessary!

Everything you would want in a caravan site.

Recently returned from Brighton. Site was fantastic. Wardens were spot on and friendly. Always happy to help. Although the site was busy when we were there, the facilities were plentiful. Never had to queue for a shower etc and they were always clean. Site is a 30-40 min walk along the seafront to Brighton pier, so a great location. There is an electric train about 10 min walk from site which takes you to the pier too. Lidl was a 10 min walk, few min drive from the site, as is Asda, which has a petrol station too. As many have mentioned, road to the site was terrible when we arrived. Huge potholes, but they were mostly repaired during our stay, so exiting was a lot more comfortable. All in all a superb site in a superb place. Look forward to coming back.

Convenient and ideal for all types of stays

Stayed here for 4 nights. Despite the previous review, I found the wardens very helpful and courteous not only in reception but also when out and about on site, The site was up to CAMC usual standard with lots of choice of pitches, as well as experience freedom pods and tents allowed in a special camp field. Loved the little patisserie van on site - nice touch. Other campers were respectful of quiet times and speed limit. My only complaint (which isn’t the wardens fault) is the road leading up to the site. It has two massive pot holes which are avoidable due to camper vans and what appears to be some illegal campers parked alongside the road. We had to drive over these pot holes at less than 5mph otherwise they would do serious damage to our car and caravan. It doesn’t help that you hit a pot hole and then have two speed bumps to navigate. Brighton council should resurface the road, as well as tackling the illegal parking/camping of some camper vans / caravans.

Rude wardens

It is a nice clean site let down by rude wardens. There was no hot water at one of the toilet blocks. When I told the female warden she said " we know, an engineer is coming g today". What she meant to say was " we are really sorry about this. An engineer is due today so hopefully it will be fixed later". There was no toilet roll in the 4 mornings we was there. This is not acceptable for the price being charged.

Variable

Lovely site, arrival road was fine, yes there were some vans parked but lots were obviously tourists. Holes in the road are fine if you take them slow, the whole road infrastructure around Brighton isn't great so not surprised nothing's been done. Toilets and showers were good until Sunday morning. Just be warned there are no curtains in the shower cubicles, and only wall hooks so the likelihood is your belongings will get wet. Lots of children on site Saturday evening, some unsupervised and noise going on well past 11.30. The showers and toilets on Sunday morning were a mess. This is not the fault of the wardens, who are extremely helpful and keep the place immaculate as a rule. Chef phillipe's food was very good but he's open 9-4 most days and later on Friday and night for evening meals. These have to be ordered. Recommend the Plough in Rottingdean, food and service is superb. Likewise Wahaca in Brighton. Friday's at the Marina was awful.

South Coast holiday

We are currently staying on the Brighton Caravan and Motorhome site. It is quite a large site and a very busy site. It is a well kept site and the wardens are kept very busy maintaining it to a high standard. There is a French style snack bar on the site which opens at about 9:00 am and closes at 16:00 but on Friday and Saturday will stay open later to provide evening meals. There are two facilities blocks, one near the site entrance and a larger one further into the site. The walk to the Marina area will take about 15/20 minutes and you will find all the shopping, eating and drinking facilities that you might want to take advantage of there. There is a large Asda supermarket there which is very busy. The bus services are excellent and it will only take you about 20 minutes from the site to walk to the bus stops to get you into central Brighton and beyond. As the site is extremely busy, the facilities can show the effect of this in spite of the best efforts of the site staff to keep everything clean and tidy. One thing I feel I must point out is the inability of a lot of people to keep to the 5mph speed limit. This is probably the worst site we have stayed on for observing this. Overall, an excellent site.

Great Site 2nd Visit

Great site to enjoy Brighton , the location is good apart from the immediate local area thats a bit ropey in places & travellers / homeless vans on the approach road. A reasonably long walk into the central Brighton area although Kemptown is nearer & has good pubs & places to eat. Site is big & keeps very busy. Facilities are usual caravan club toilet blocks & were cleaned well by the wardens although the hygiene standards of some of the campers was terrible including someone who had obviously had a bad stomach & thought it was ok to let someone else clean their terrible mess & hair left in the sinks . I felt sorry for the wardens as each cubicle had a toilet brush. The toilet seats in the mens were not adjusted properly & the seat kept falling forward which was annoying as it hit you on the back each time you sat down./ I mentioned it to a warden who was aware of the problem but said they had been too busy & it wasn't fixed a few days later. The pitches were good although need a bit of levelling. Foxes were a problem & regularly spread litter around the bin areas & I wonder why the club doesn't invest in better bins! Wifi coverage was a bit ropey & variable on EE & O2 on our pitch. We also needed a lead to stop pixelation on the TV. As previously mentioned potholes were bad on access to the site. Considering the cost of this site & how busy it is the club show invest more ion my opinion. Wardens were friendly & we loved Brighton & the cheap & Regular public transport & the vet recommended at Beech House were excellent with our dog.

Very "Hard" Standings

Recently had another enjoyable 5 nights stay at Brighton, it's one of our favourite sites on the club's network. Agree with the comments about the huge and sharp edged potholes on the approach road and the foxes that nightly try to raid the dustbins by the toilet blocks. The wardens have attached weights to the underside of the dustbin lids so make sure you place them back on properly and don't leave rubbish at the side of the bins to avoid the wardens having a not very pleasant morning job cleaning up the mess! The club information states that they have finished de-compacting the hard standings. This was a major gripe of mine a few years ago and the reception even replaced once some of my bent pegs after a particularly difficult episode putting up our awning. Of all the club sites we have visited Brighton held for many years our title of "Hardest hard standings we have been on". So who's the new holder of the title ..... that's right it's still Brighton! Under a couple of inches of loose stones the ground was still like concrete on our pitch, (number 151), four wrecked pins, several slightly bent but probably ok to continue using on softer ground and most of the pegs only half driven into the ground hoping that the winds didn't get too strong!!! Apparently the wardens know about this issue so why hasn't the club got the contractors back in to do the job properly that they've been paid for? Another issue was that the tv booster on our post didn't work so we couldn't watch tv as the standard aerial is next to useless in the valley where the site is located. We spoke to one of the wardens about this who said that they knew about this problem and several tv boosters around the site weren't working. Apparently the contractors were coming on site during the week we left to fix the problem. He said that the office had a list of the ones not working, but nothing was said when we booked in and it was too late after our awning was erected to move pitch. Other than the comments above we had a great time in Brighton as usual and will be back soon.
