Bank holiday weekend away
We’ve stayed at this site several times as it’s only an hour or so from home, the last being about five years ago, and handy for a rare weekend away. I’d booked tickets to see a show at the Brighton Centre, so we combined the two. We caught the bus into Brighton, then a taxi back to the gates after the show as the approach is very dark.
We received a very warm and friendly welcome from the lady assistant on our arrival. There were plenty of pitches to choose from on Friday afternoon, and we chose 78, with trees front and rear for a bit of shade, and facing the sun (when we had some) on the nearside during the day.
This area gave the impression of being on a much smaller site, whilst still close to facilities.
All the toilets/showers etc. were kept very clean, and I saw the block that’s serviced in the afternoon being checked and replenished in the morning by the wardens. In fact, the whole site was very well kept by the wardens, Matt and Gemma, and by their team of assistant wardens. Thank you all.
If you want to catch the Volk’s train to Brighton they depart Black Rock at 15 & 45 minutes past the hour, and return from the Sea Life Centre on the hour & 30 minutes past on the present timetable. Price for adults is £4.90 return.
The buses that run from outside the Marina to Old Steine are every few minutes, and a single fare is £2.60. Taxis (Hackney carriages) are between £8.50-£9.50 from the city centre to the site entrance.
