Too Many Premium Cost Serviced Pitches!
Littlehampton Caravan Club has an unusual suburban location.
The nearby level crossing can make exiting onto the main road a bit difficult at times. However, it isn't a major problem and shouldn't put you off a visit because this is a very neat and tidy site that is beautifully well maintained.
What may put you off though is the lack of standard hard standings.
I know that the club needs to pay for an utterly pointless rebranding exercise that must have cost a fortune, but does that really justify the club putting in so many extra cost serviced pitches to empty our pockets of even more of our hard earned?
Row after row of the pitch provision are premium cost serviced pitches rather than standard hardstandings suitable for a van and awning.
All the rest seem to be grass pitches that either nobody wants unless they are on a heritage weekend away or are much too wet and muddy to use!
We drove round looking for a rare standard hard standing, but the few that are provided here were not all occupied. Not a huge surprise. There were spaces galore on the serviced pitches though!
Eventually we drove down the road leading to the exit barrier. Here there were plenty of standard hard standings that nobody wanted. Why didn't anyone want one of these? Well, for a start, you felt cut off from the rest of the site. You felt totally alone from everyone else. Secondly, this line of hard standings was an obvious security risk. Anyone passing by on the road outside could see the vans, walk into the site and never be seen by the wardens or anyone else.
If I had a shilling for every caravan and motorhome that drove down our road, thought twice about it and reversed up of turned around, then I could have afforded a super pitch myself!
