Just back from 4 days with our grandchildren, last visited 4 years ago. Apart from the road noise which we were more than aware of before our visit I feel I must mention the key system for the shower block. Why a key? Our grandchildren are more than capable of going alone to the loo which was impossible here. A keypad would be just as secure but set at a slightly lower height would enable older children to be independent. Also the play park for a family site is very small.
Regardless we had a great time and the wardens were very helpful and knowledgeable.
Loved it ??
Very friendly greeting , lovely clean site. Yes there is a little bit of traffic noise but it does state where it is, and it really
Is not that noisy. Fantastic location for shops, beach etc . Absolutely loved it, VERY helpful staff , highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely visit ??
So much road noise
We were welcomed by a very friendly lady, and were informed of the pitches available and their location, and informed we could drive round and pick any one we wanted, just inform them of our choice, great start ??
Pitch we picked was a grass serviced pitch, which was nice and level.
The only problem was the noise from the road, which was very intrusive.
Out door activities were ruined by this, and it was all day and evening long, had to sleep with windows shut to obtain a peaceful night .
The site was clean and shower block good, so if you don't mind the noise site is ok.
Noisy site!
Stayed at this site as we were visiting friends nearby. It's on the corner of two busy and it's almost impossible to get away from the noise.
A wet Summer break!
Decided to go East for a change and picked Rowan park because of its closeness to major towns.
The site was clean as always with a CC site. The wardens on booking in were really helpful. Could only book a non awning pitch when we booked but were lucky enough to get one on hard standing. Boy was that lucky! After the first day in rained big time and much of the grass was waterlogged and parts of the site flooded briefly. Despite that the site seemed to cope with it.
Managed to visit Bognor of course, Littlehampton and Chichester. There was only a very small play area for children but those there seemed to make do.
Take ear plugs
Stayed here from the 16th august for 5 nights my daughter and grandchildren were staying on Riverside holiday park just down the road so handy for visiting them. Wardens are friendly site is clean and tidy but I have never stayed on such a noisy site which is situated in the middle of a retail park which meant constant noise from traffic especially lorries. We moved pitch within an hour of arriving to try and get away from the road but even from the other side of the site peace and quite was not to be had. The seasonal pitches were in the best position so you didn't have a lot of choice. Another niggle was my husband lost his toilet key which is not difficult when you have grandchildren visiting and he had to pay £5 when leaving at no time were we made aware of this charge no notices anywhere and in this day and age you shouldn't need a key to go to the toilet the nightly fee we pay should cover any loss.
Great site
Myself and two grandchildren aged 11 and 10 spent a week on this site 26th to 31st July and have to say it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The facilities are excellent, even allowing for the toilet closure times - easy to work around. The kids quickly made friends and I had to drag them back to the motorhome for meals so engrossed were they playing in the on-site playpark. Easy access to Bognor itself via regular bus service. Also easy access to Lidls for shopping and McDonalds for the obligatory treat. As to comments someone else made re rules regarding games - if you didn't have rules you would have anarchy and in the main the amount to common sense. I would recommend this site for members with or without children.
Not what you would expect from the Family Freindly Club!!!!
Having just returned from a week at this site, the impression we received from the "Warders" (Wardens) as this felt like being in prison, was they would prefer this site to be Adults Only, children wre not respected even the well behaved ones and they way the inmates were spoken too was very disrespectful, first time ever I have experienced such an awful time on a club site. Would I visit again, definately not, not child or member friendly and the play area is virtually non-existant and there are too many rules for what games etc are allowed. Dog walk, not on site, not well maintained and only used once as we had to bathe the dog after she became covered in not so nice pleasantrys even on the lead. Not a pleasant experience from a very unhappy inmate!!

Beautiful Site
Just returned from a weekend on this site and couldn't fault it! Lovely welcome from all staff, who were very helpful. Beautifully maintained grounds and shower block, great location, ideal for visiting local beach at Bognor. Loads of shops nearby and fantastic dog walks right next door. Probably not much to do for children (no pool or entertainment) but ideal for a quiet break. Choose a pitch on the left as you enter the park if you can - more privacy and quieter at night away from the main road. Would definitely visit again :)
