Firstly the site is immaculate, lovely welcome staff, pitches were great, a stones throw from retail park and local shops, supermarket. Great location, 10 min from dog friendly beach and Bognor itself. BUT If you are a light sleeper then you have no chance of getting any shut eye at night, The local KFC is 100m away and talking to the staff in Halfords is the local Car and Bike meet when the sun goes down, the requirement for this meet is you must have a sports exhaust (Or none) and then you can race up and down the road at a minimum of 6000 rpm. Its seriously noisy, do not under any circumstances pitch near the entrance because you would be better setting up on a race track!! Its a pity because we did like our 4 night stay but we left after that because of this.
Not for us
Couldn't fault the up keep of the site or the hard working wardens but that road noise is horrendous and night times with the constant gun shots from car exhausts made the site one we wouldn't return to.
On the plus side we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see and all the retail parks and supermarkets are all within walking distance.
Amazingly well kept site let down by one thing.....
We arrived at the site for a long weekend away as a family.
The Staff were amazing and the site is lovingly well-kept.
Unfortunately, I will not be recommending the site to anyone else due to the road noise.
Most evenings and nights were spent listening to the local car and bike 'enthusiasts' 'testing' their cars around the roundabout, repeatedly!
TipTop Site
One of the top sites in the UK and I have visited over 20.
Spotless facilities and great location. Nice big pitches. There is no shop on site, but within walking distance of Superstores and take aways and others like Pets at Home and Matalan.
I can't express how helpful and friendly the wardens were, Kay and Rick, they are always about and the grounds, landscaping and spotless facilities are a credit to them. There is also a laundry. And some great walks in the lovely nature reserve and surrounding country paths. Good pubs nearby, especially The Fountain, for good pub grub. And a zig-zaggy route through the estates right to Bognor Beach, which is excellent too.
Only issue, which didn't really both us, is the roads on two sides of the site are very busy and there seems to be a "loudest exhaust competition' going on most evenings! But just crank up the music and enjoy this tiptop site.
Thank you. I will be back.
Exceptional site staff and facilities
This has become a firm favourite and a regular stay. It is extremely well run and superb welcome and support from Site supervisors Lisa and Steve. Very clean and well managed by this couple and the other site staff. Very close to the town and lots to do here. Excellent for dogs as the nature reserve is literally next door. A real gem.
Clean and well kept small site
Located off main A road next to roundabout and noisy if roadside at night, but great if you want fast food/ DIY/supermarkets etc as next to retail parks. Would say not really for kids as no play area and walk into Bognor is via 40mins ish dual carriage way, which is safe but dull. Also has cycle path. However buses do run into town from close by and if have a car, it could be a good base.
Nice park with cafe about 25mins walk away.
Super clean site. Super friendly staff. Info pack given on arrival.
Didn’t use ‘localish’ pubs as went into Bognor.
Lovely walk Bognor to Pagham along beach which is part of coast path.
Dog walk at site into nature reserve but didn’t check out.
It is possible to set up on quieter side of park away from road, but we didn’t mind road noise.
We found stay perfect as wanted quick break nearish the sea.
Amazing Stay
We arrived at Rowan Park on Monday 3rd July 2023 for a 4 night stay. The wardens, Lisa and Steve greeted us as if we were old friends. The reception was clean and welcoming. The facilities were kept exceptionally clean and having the unisex toilets available during cleaning times is a bonus.
Unfortunately we suffered 3 minor mishaps during our stay, firstly the door handle came off the motorhome toilet door, then the booster cable box wouldn't open and worst of all we locked ourselves out of our motorhome.
What we would have done without the help of Steve and Lisa cannot be put into words. They went above and beyond in helping us on all 3 occasions, best of all, Steve managed to unlock the motorhome without breaking a window, damaging the locks or cause any damage whatsoever.
So a BIG THANK YOU to Steve and Lisa. We will be back, we will try not to cause any more problems, so see you soon.

Very nice!!
Stayed here for the first time whilst helping our granddaughter move after finishing uni. Very clean and pleasant site. A little bit of road noise but not obtrusive and certainly didn't detract from our enjoyment.
We had a hard standing pitch very close to the toilet block, allocated as my wife is in a wheelchair. With hindsite we might have gone for a grass pitch as the fine gravel on the hardstanding was a bit of a pain to wheel across, again not a major issue.
The facilities in the disabled bathroom were first class, some hotels could learn a thing or two!
Overall an excellent site!
Neil and Carol....
Great site
