The site is very handy for the bognor town centre. The toilet and shower block is in the centre of the site and is very good with plenty of hot water. My nine year old liked it because it has wifi. Unfortunately if you are pitched near the entrance to the site all you will hear is the traffic from the main road which is only a few metres away. I think the Caravan Club should look for a new site when the current lease runs out in 2020.
Although there is noise you can just turn over and think how lucky you are not to have to be in it. Pleasant and good location used the shops a lot, good choice of supermarket! We were more frustrated by the amount of traffic on the roads to almost everywhere we tried to go to, obviously we are not used the busy south coast, but we saw a lot and had a great break. Thanks to helpful and smiling wardens.
Cannot rate this site highly enough. Friendly staff immaculate amenities and close to most places in West Sussex if you so desire. Ok a bit of traffic noise but coming from London I personally could not sleep if there was no noise. Will continue to use this site.
We agree with the other reviews about the traffic noise, it is bad and on two sides of the site. Not a problem during the day if you go out but not conducive to a lie in in the morning. The wardens are great, very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The site is also up to the usual club standards. Bognor is somewhat run down in the town centre but there are lots of places to visit not too far away.
This is a nice site and the facilities etc are of the usual high Club standard. I think a few more guard standings would be welcome. There is a retail park across the road which is convenient and it's easy enough to reach the sea front. The major drawback is traffic noise. The site is bordered on two sides by busy main roads and at rush hour the noise is bad. At night the boy racers with booming radios frequent the area. Not a place for peace and quiet.
The directions to the site need updating as a new road has been constructed which removes the need to turn by the Royal Oak and drive along residential streets. Instead, you take the first exit at the roundabout before reaching the pub and then the first exit off the next roundabout and you are almost there.
After 10 or so years we both (well her indoors) decided to try a caravan again.
Can I still tow, can I still reveres onto a pitch, are c/c members still as friendly as we remember.
So we picked Rowan Park for our first weekend away as it is only a few miles away and we had been there before.
As soon as we arrived we knew we had made a good decision, the staff were great, the site is excellent and the toilet block was very clean.
We had a few problems putting up the awning due to awning rail but had offers of help within minutes, C/C members are great.
Loved our time at Rowan Park and are looking forward to our next trip away - C/C site again for us.
But we will be going back to Rowan Park as we loved it there.
Beautifully landscaped, enabling the wardens to move pitches about to protect the grass. Usual high standard of facilities and maintenance.
Possible to walk to the sea front which is clean. Gravel beach until the tide goes out and reveals the sand. Shopping centre feels tired as do other areas of the town.
Road noise and pollution an issue for us. It is constant from early morning to very early morning next day. CC do warn about this. Nearby retail park adds to traffic but does provide for three supermarkets and several fast food outlets, all within walking distance.
Wi-Fi weak; just enough for emails and surfing slowly.
Arundel Castle worth a trip.
Unlikely to visit again because of traffic and disappointing Bognor. Shame because we liked the site.
lovely site very clean plenty of space , road a little noisy but did not bother us or any one else by the way people spoke. would stay again. children had a fenced off area . wardens very helpful
Rowan Park site is excellent in every way but beware of the road noise.....it seems fine most of the day but the evenings the boy racers appear up the main roads till early hours sometimes. Why they are not watched goodness knows. Other wise the site is excellent in every way .......Facilities are excellent. The wardens are lovely and keep the site spotless...very helpful and friendly.....they work hard to keep the site up to a very good standard. Other than the nightly evening outside entertainment we spent a lovely week here with a lucky good week of weather. Thank you to the site wardens for the excellent standards.
Spent 1 night here over the Bank Holiday and it was lovely. The park is immaculate as are the facilities, impeccable! We did a last minute booking and arrived just before the office closed but the lady at reception was still gracious and helpful. We would definitely stay here in our camper again.
