Some earlier comments make reference to the hard standing needing rock pegs - you actually need a pile-driver not rock pegs. The pitch I was on only enabled rock pegs to be put in around 3 inches into the gravel before hitting solid rock.  The wardens actually lent me a chisel to try and break into the rock first but that made little difference.  Eventually, after around 3 hours, I managed to get every other peg into the ground but I wasn't happy with how secure the awning was and several came out during a particularly windy night - thankfully, I managed to drive my storm straps into the ground otherwise I would have been in trouble. The facilities were spotless - piped music into the shower block which I understand has just been refurbished.  Plenty of showers and never had to queue even with the site being full all week. The site is peaceful other than the wardens who insist on riding the sit on mowers/ATV's around the site in pairs for some strange reason constantly throughout the day! You can park in the nearby marina for free and then the bus runs regularly into Brighton centre, however, if there is more than 3 people in your party, get a taxi as it works out cheaper and quicker! In Brighton, lots to do and see - if you are visiting Sealife, pick up a leaflet (or two) from the information room (Things to do in Sussex) whereby you get 2 for 1 entry £17.50 for 2 people. The pitches are very spacious and the site well laid out - there are lots of wild bunnies running around even during the day! Wardens were friendly on the whole and spent alot of time maintaining the site ie hedgecutting.  There is even a help yourself herb garden by reception which is a nice touch. I don't know if I would return to the site, not due to the site, more the location ie wouldn't return to Brighton but was pleased with the location and facilities of the site itself.
