One lady and her puppy daisy

We were greeted and helped tremendously by the assistant wardens Chris & Stewart . This was my first stay on my own in our motor home with my puppy Daisy. My husband and I only brought it 2 months ago so we are very new to The caravan club and various sites. The site was in an excellent location , supermarkets across the road and lovely dog walks in the nearby fields.  The site was spotless and the staff worked very hard to keep it that way. My only problem was with an abusive man and his wife complaining about my puppy barking one evening. This, in my mind , was totally un justified. They also complained I was on their pitch. Which was incorrect as I had already been here a week and not moved !! . I was not that happy with the policy's and procedures in place for this type of thing, and did not feel the actual Wardens dealt with it in the correct manner, or efficiently enough. It really shook me up !! Of course this is only my own point of view as I am not familiar with the policy's in the caravan club for abusive unjust behaviour by another member. Other than that I have had a very happy, peaceful, friendly stay in a lovely well kept site.  I would not hesitate to come back and once again express my thanks to assistant wardens Chris & Stewart. Best wishes Caroline Tyler and Daisy ???? a sweet 7 month cockerpoo. Chris and Stewart made are stay happy and stress free??????.

Spotless facilities

The toilet shower block was spotless. Monumental rain but the ground was well drained, with absolutely no problems with trickles across the grass into our awning. Really easy to find the site entrance, with McD, KFC, a huge Sainsburys and Tesco all within walking distance. A warm welcome to us as first time stay on a CC site, with polite other campers, if most sites are like this I'm glad we joined!

Great site

Just returned.  A lovely site.  A little road noise, we were one row back from road.  Spacious  un-regimented pitches, bushes and trees.  We had bad weather but if the sun had shone it would have been ideal, grabbing some shad if needed.  Our two dogs enjoyed the public meadow next door which was wonderful.  We enjoyed tea & home bakedcakes at a charity get together hosted by the very friendly wardens.  A really good site and one that I would return to.

Return to my childhood.

My wife and I have just returned from a week at Rowan Park, our first time at this site, and found it to be a wonderful little site, ideally situated to explore along the Sussex coast. There is a little bit of traffic noise if you are parked near the site entrance, as we were, but it was not intrusive and we had a lovely roomy pitch. Everything you could need is close at hand with a retail park just across the road, which among other things contain two supermarkets, both with petrol stations. The whole site has a relaxed, friendly and peaceful feel, plus very pleasant and helpful wardens. I have no doubt that we will be returning again in the not too distant future!

Lovely site

Just returned from our second visit to this site and it is lovely.  Quiet, well-maintained, clean and with friendly wardens, we were particularly drawn back by the excellent dog-walking facility just outside the site, giving access to a safe woodland area where our pooch could run freely.  We also like the fact that there is a retail park right opposite with Lidl and Matalan etc and a large Sainsburys just ten minutes walk away.  We will return again.

I love this Site

we have been to this site 4 times now, as we don't live too far away, it is lovely to come here for a few days every so often. We had pitch 40 it was lovely and quiet although the site was fairly busy, we love walking along the front of Bognor and going to the Lobster Pot café just past Butlins , they offer lovely tasty dishes and the staff are very friendly and obliging. The Wardens keep the site and the facilities block spotless, we will always return

Handy for Bognor and the Coast

Rowan Park is situated just  to the north of the seaside town of Bognor Regis.  The site has 92 pitches in total with most being on level grass but there are 32 hardstanding pitches and a handful of tent pitches. Some of the grass pitches are available for seasonal use. There are some nice stands of trees which help to divide the landscape up. Given their closeness to the main road some pitches that back onto the road experience traffic  noise. This seems more of a problem during the day rather than at night although some people have reported noise from the fast food outlet opposite but this won’t affect the whole site and we didn't notice this during our stay. Electric points are convenient to pitches. Terrestrial TV reception is rated as poor but each electrical bollard has a co-ax TV connections which can be used free of charge but you have to use your own cable. Satellite reception will require careful selection of your pitch owing to tree cover. The site has one centrally  toilet block which is up to the usual Club standards. Services points are dotted around the site but inevitably some pitches require quite a walk away. The motorhome service point has good access but unfortunately still requires the lifting of heavy drain covers to facilitate the emptying of waste tanks. There is site wide Wi-Fi and time can be purchased online. I found the signal strength reasonable. One of the wardens was saying they are due to be connected to fibre broadband soon which should make it even better. For children there is a fairly small climbing frame. Reception sells a few essentials and next door is a small information room.   The seafront and town centre at Bognor is about two miles from the site. Further afield are Chichester and Portsmouth in one direction and Littlehampton in  the other. Inland you have Arundel, Tangmere and Fontwell are within easy travelling distance. For those who prefer not to use their own transport there is a bus service from near the campsite although services run at 90 minute intervals Monday to Saturday, details from reception. In the town the 700 Coastliner bus route runs between Brighton and Portsmouth with quite a frequent service.  Just opposite the campsite is a small retail park with a Halfords and a Lidl which is the nearest for food shopping. Within about a mile of the site there is a large Sainsbury’s and a Tesco.

1st time in this area

Just back from a glorious week in Bognor, very clean site and friendly wardens, good base to visit the surrounding areas and nice to see plenty of grass on site to sit out and watch the world go by. The dog walk next door is ok but could do with a trim around the paths, big dogs are ok but we have small Yorkies who could get lost if let off their leads (don't think the dog walk is anything to do with the Caravan club though)

First time visit

Last weekend was our first visit to Rowan Park and we had a really good time. The welcome from the Wardens was extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless and in good condition. Yes, there was some road noise and I think it does depend on where your pitch is but our pitch was in the centre of the site. We were blessed with excellent weather and that made all the difference. We have decided that we would like to return.

Very Noisy Site

I just wanted to leave a review for the Rowan Park Site in Bognor Regis. The 2 rating fields marked 'Good for families' and 'Peace and Quiet'  I have had to give one tick for it to be accepted, but I do not feel any ticks are earned in those sections.We are very disappointed with this site and feel the write up in the book needs to change. Firstly, the book says 'Some Road noise can be expected'  but we feel this is an understatement. The road wad VERY noisy all night long and we may as well have pitched in the lay by. The site is right opposite a retail park with 2 very busy fast food outlets. Both nights were very disturbed for us with loud fast cars, horns, sirens, wheel spins, motor cycles, shouting and swearing......really not what you want from a relaxing weekend planned.  We also think it should state that the play equipment is only suitable for toddlers and that NO BALL GAMES etc allowed on site. Our 6 and 9 year old were very disappointed and unable to have any fun at all on site. We definitely will NOT be returning and feel it ruined our whole weekend.  We shall take the time to ring ahead with questions before booking any other sites to avoid disappointment.
