Superb location for touring, if not always for peace and quiet
Littlehampton Caravan Club site is tended and maintained to the usual Caravan Club high standards, with facilities housed in a centrally-located block. The only downside is that the site is situated on the busy A284 road off the main A27. Traffic noise is not oppressive, although it is noticeable at busy times or when vehicles are backed up because the level crossing barrier is down.
The upside is that the camp site is well located for accessing all the main towns and attractions along the South Coast - including Brighton, Worthing, Bognor Regis, Chichester and Littlehampton itself, as well as the glorious South Downs countryside. If you ride bikes, it's worth bringing them because Littlehampton is flat, its beaches are only fifteen minutes cycle ride away, and parking can be scarce and expensive. The Coastliner 700 bus also stops outside the site, linking the main South Coast towns.
There is a large Morrisons superstore (with cheap fuel) located the other side of the level crossing from the site, as well as a Lidl in the town centre.
Immaculately clean
Very helpful and cheerful staff. Showers and toilets very clean. Site immaculate.
Great Local Walks
We spent five nights on this site in November. We received a warm welcome on arrival and the facilities were kept spotless. It is perfectly placed for exploring the coastline and the South Downs. We did some interesting walks all within a short car drive from the site. You can see our walks at our blog www.twodogsandanawning.co.uk
New Year Break
We spent 7 nights om this site from 27 December to the beginning of January 2017 with our son and his family.
We arrived to a cheery welcome and even given the pitch Nos that would suit us for two caravans. That was such a help it meant we went straight to our pitches and had a cup of tea on very quickly.
The facilities were spotless and very warm.
The wifi worked well.
Well done to the team for running the site so well.
We had a wonderful time in the are: going to the Aquarium in Brighton, and Drusillas both of which the grandchildren aged 2 and 3 loved. Once the grandchildren left we spent a day in Chichester going to the cathedral and exploring the town definitely worth a visit.
This was a first winter camping experience for us and one we would repeat.
A lovely place to be
It occurred to me how different sites might look in winter as compared to summer. Littlehampton is a really lovely site and I Imagine a hive of activity in the summer months when, who knows, it might seem very different. My visit took place during a few crisp, clear-blue-sky days in December when the site was inevitably quiet. I had a service pitch which was spacious and well kept. On my first choice the tap was frozen so I moved to the adjacent pitch where the tap was running freely. At these times I suppose one must expect these kind of difficulties. The site is big, very well maintained and has an open aspect which I prefer. In one corner there is a park home site. I pitched right on the border of this but there was no noise or other inconvenience from it. I am sure that for those in park homes, it is likely to be us annoying them more than the other way around. Indeed, on the Sunday of my visit, I was awoken at 6:30am by my neighbour packing up and doing so in seemingly as noisy a way as they could. In just over an hour until their departure at just after 7:30 they must have banged shut caravan and car doors 30 times. No more sleep for me on the day of rest. On the odd occasion when I have had reason to leave very early, I have crept around like a cat and made sure I kept door banging to an absolute minimum (leaving my van door open throughout, for example). You have to put up with this now and again (they might have had a ferry to catch or some emergency for all I knew), but if I was in the adjacent park home – as near to our pitches as we were to each other – I would not have felt very happy. Anyway back to this site which, in short, I liked very much. I have visited the triad of Sussex coast sites in Brighton, Worthing and Littlehampton this year and they are all lovely. Worthing is definitely my favourite, but Littlehampton comes a close second. For those reliant on public transport the excellent 700 coastliner service goes past the site every 30 minutes to Arundel one way and then Littlehampton, Worthing and Brighton the other and with changes in Littlehampton to Chichester or Portsmouth in the easterly direction. Alternatively, it took me 25 minutes to walk to the railway station in Littlehampton with trains to Brighton or London and many other places. The road adjacent to the site does give a little noise but I would not describe this as serious and, for me, a city boy, a comforter rather than an irritant. There is a children’s play area – quiet at this time – in the middle of the large open section of the site at the northern end. Those who find the noise of children playing an annoyance would need to avoid this part of the site but there are a lot of alternatives. Finally, the loo block was excellent, TV great, (I rely on 4G for the internet so cannot comment on the Wifi) and the wardens were lovely, friendly and very helpful. The only downside for me is that the town is distinctly grotty. Worthing is a much nicer place.
November break
What a perfect place! Quiet (it is November after all) but simply perfect in every way. All the facilities were spotless, and we could not have wanted anything else.
Many thanks to those running it.
TV reception
It needs to be made clear that a TV cable is needed. I bought one under protest for £15 from the office, but would have taken my own if it was stated in the book

Storm Angus, No problem
Third time of staying on this site and as before a very pleasant stay even though we had the pleasure of Storm Angus. Had more than our fair share of wind and rain but no problems with drainage and site facilities were unaffected. Very clean and tidy site especially the toilet block and washing up room, spotless every day during our stay. Our pitch was by the dog walk area so one of the closest to the road and although we could here the occasional lorry at night it wasn't a problem for us. Wardens were friendly and very approachable. Will be back again in 2017.
