We stayed at Graffham last year, in a tent. It is a really nice site, with many pitches tucked into clearings in the trees (the whole site is in a wood). There is no lighting at night, so you need a good torch (and don't make the same mistake I did and try to find a shortcut to the loos through the trees - ended up going round in circles!). The washing facilities seemed okay, didn't try the showers though. The only downside I found was that the road which borders one side of the site was quite busy at night (not sure why as it only goes to a couple of small villages) - and we were only about 30ft away from it. I would go back to this site, if we took out CCC membership, and if I could request being away from the road.

One thing to maybe check is how busy the CCC sites are you want to visit - we live in Surrey and I get the impression that some of the CCC sites nearer London are hard to book at the weekends. You want to make sure Graffham isn't fully booked before you take out your membership.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, due to work we happened to be over Graffham way so made a slight detour and had a look around.

I'm glad we did as it really isn't the site for us. The comments above about the sand made a lot of sense. With two small children there was little or no open areas for them to play on with a ball or with their bikes as the roads were very bumpy and they could easily get lost. There was also little chance of evening sun as the tree canopies would have put an end to that.

That said we, would probably go in a couple of years when the children are older and a little more independent as the camp building opportunity is endless!

The hunt for a campsite goes on.....
