This is my second visit to this site. I chose it for its location be ause I was visiting an event (Southdowns Folk Festival) in Bognor. Quite close to a main road do a little noisy at times but also just across the road from a supermarket, so food shopping could be done once I had arrived which was great! Sit wardens very friendly and welcoming. Facilities cke@n and well maintained! What’s not to like about this site. Oh, and as an added bonus it is right next door to a nature reserve!
A Little Oasis !
After reading some reviews we were concerned about this site. I am happy to say we loved it. Yes it is in a strange position basically stuck between two main roads but as you drive through the gate it is a beautiful forest of trees and calm. All sites are a good size and the facilities are kept to probably the highest standard I have seen. The Wardens are extremely helpful. We set up as far away from the road as possible and it didn't intrude much at all. The are plenty of birds to watch and so many rabbits it is like Watership Down. We stayed there to go to Goodwood Festival of Speed but also visited Arundel Castle and Pagham RSPB reserve. Both brilliant days out.
Having all the main supermarkets so close was actually very handy. You can walk to Lidls once you have negotiated the road.
I am sure that next year if we go to Goodwood we will return to this site.

Lovely Stay
We stayed here for 7 nights and enjoyed our stay. The site and facilities were spotless. It is a perfect location for visiting the coast, Arundel Castle and the other towns round about.
As stated in the handbook and on the website there is road noise but this is to be expected as the site situated just off the A97. It certainly didn’t detract us from sitting out enjoying the sun of an evening.

Lovely Site
We stayed here for 7 nights and enjoyed our stay. The site was up to the high standards expected of club sites. It is a perfect base for visiting the coast and Arundel Castle and the other towns round about. As mentioned on the website and in the book there is road noise but being so close to the A97 this has to be expected. It certainly didn’t stop us from sitting out enjoying the sun of an evening.

Noisy but convenient
We stayed here for the bank holiday. The road noise, if you are that side of the park is fairly bad and the ‘boy racers’ are relentless at night. Being a warm weekend, we couldn’t really have the windows open at night.
On the plus, it’s a walk away from a retail park with a Lidl and matalan etc. And the dog walk is one of the biggest I’ve seen in a site.
Convenient for exploring Bognor, access is easy onto site. Warm welcome! But not a a peaceful site.
Very nice site, shame about the busy road
We have used this site before so knew what to expect re traffic noise, its not so bad in the cooler weather as windows not open but I wouldn't want to stay there in the summer !!.
Location is good with easy access, there is a Lidl just across the road which is great for a daily paper and other basics, bigger Sainsburys & Tesco also walkable but prob easier in the car. Cycle path into Bognor and other nice routes direct from the campsite. Wardens were fine, helpful and friendly, will return as it suits our needs (relatives near by) but would be great in the police did something about the boy racers who seem to favour after midnight on Sundays for their playtime !!

Excellent site
Been here two weekends on the run, such a good location and the wardens could not do enough for you. Wardens are very helpful and approachable.
£6 taxi to Bognor and Dominos deliver pizza to the site! (Very useful if you've had a long day or just can't be bothered)
Lidl just across the road as is MacDonalds and KFC and just round the corner are Tesco and Sainsbury's.
Rowan Way is very busy and noisy, but a set of earplugs or just tuning out is fine. Can't have location, facilities and total quiet.
The sunset from the site is beautiful and the sun shines on most of the pitches making it extremely pleasant. We only live within 20 miles away from the site and will definitely be back again.
poor site
my wife and I stayed on this site for ten days my daughter stayed for seven with our grandchildren we have stayed on this site many times and have always found it 5 stars but this time we were in for shock the childrens play area taken away and locked up with rubbish in it the grass was so long it as not been cut for a long time it a nettles that the grandchildren were getting stung we have asked the wardens to cut the grass and have phoned the club but still not done the ceiling in mens toilets block is held up by blue robe the wardens dump leaves behind the caravans so when the wind blows it blows leaves back into park we had so many resting against the awning and coming into the van I asked the wardens could they rake them up I was out when the warden come round he was rude saying you are staying on a site with trees what do you expect my wife explained it was summer not autmn but he just walked away I raked up the leaves myself its such a shame this lovely 5 star site is being so run down

Friendly well laid out site
We love this site, yes it can be noisy but it is on the A29 so it is a busy road and will be noisy. I book this site knowing about the traffic but that aside we have still returned to this site 4 to 5 times.
It's very convenient for beaches and historic towns and villages in the area. We have 2 Corgi's so we love the dog walk. Whenever we stay at this site we always meet lovely friendly people. The site is well laid out. This time we had a grass pitch which was very easy to pitch, it drained well and was very level.
we will definitely be returning. It is just a very comfortable site to return to, We love it
We did not like this site
This is only our second club site we have been on and we did not like it. We arrived and was greeted by a not so friendly warden and paid for our pitch. We were given the map and explained where we could pitch, the warden told us that the grass pitches could get quite "boggy" and given the amount of rain that was due we chose a hard standing pitch. We were given keys to the toilets and off we went to pitch.
The site is very green with lots of trees and does have a nice feel to it however the traffic noise is really bad, in my ten years of camping this is the worst I've ever know it the main road is so close, during the day you get lots of traffics noise and then in the evening you get boy racers.
The facilities are really clean and to the standard you would except on a club site.
There is a natura reserve next to the site which is great for dog walking.
We were not fans of this site and will not go back
