 We spent 5 nights at this small site. Very clean and tidy, lovely helpful wardens and our allotted pitch was ideally located away from any road noise.
The pub, almost next door offers decent food and beers whilst the farm shop a little further along the road supplied us with good quality bbq materials.
Altogether a good package in a great part of the world.

We spent 3 nights on this site, not having visited for over 5 years. The club 'blurb' warns about being next door to a building site, but that was only active between 8am and 5pm and we didn't notice any intrusive noise. Having visited previously we were careful to choose a pitch away from the main road.
This is a relatively small site with a mixture of grass and hard standing. It is evidently very popular with those using the Portsmouth ferries, which are only about 15 minutes away
The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The facilities are kept spotless and if I have a gripe it is that there's only one potable water point
We used the adjacent bus stops for visits to Portsmouth and Chichester but the same service links Emsworth, Havant and Bognor
The local pub, the Traveller's Joy, is a very short walk and offers good food and service at competitive prices. I can recommend the 'Moules frites' which comes in 2 sizes - half kilo and kilo portions.
We'll be going back, if only for the mussels

Just spent four nights on this lovely site. The site staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. We used the very convenient bus service to visit Havant, Portsmouth and Bognor Regis. Lots to do in the area. We will certainly make a return visit.

This site was was a little hard to find, we drove past it twice before we noticed the sign behind a hedge! It's directly opposite a big woodburner shop if you have any difficulty. The site was well kept and the toilet/shower block was clean and spacious. I've put 7 out of 10 for facilities, as although the toilet/shower block was immaculate there were no other facilities. It was a bit noisy being on a main road and the pitch we had was just inside the hedge adjoining the road. It's also quite small and very popular due to its location. We spoke to another camper and she said she'd been trying to book for quite a while, but it was always full. There's a nice pub the Travellers Joy about 10 mins walk along the road where they do good food. We got a bus from the stop opposite and went into Portsmouth. We would definitely visit again, hopefully getting a pitch a little further in next time.

This site is ideally placed to explore the local area. The wardens are friendly and helpful. Frequent buses and trains are nearby, as are shops. Despite being very busy, and on a main road, the site itself manages to retain a peaceful atmosphere. Pitches, although not large, are adequate. Families and those with dogs need to be aware that there is no children’s playground or dog walking area.

I've visited this campsite several times over the past few years. It's in a great location for visiting Chichester/Portsmouth and as a result is extremely popular, especially for those with motor homes and caravans.
However, there are several drawbacks. The site is very close to a busy road and a railway line which can be a problem if you are a light sleeper. Also, partly due to the close proximity of the pitches, the wardens often find it difficult to maintain the correct distance between each unit. Some people may struggle to fit in a larger awning or even a large tent.
The site maintenance team changed last year and this year we noticed a tightening up on the rules which might not be a bad thing. Unfortunately we didn't appreciate the wardens walking around the campsite with a tape measure in the evening nor did we like the way we were reprimanded for slight rule infringements. A little more tact might be needed.
Overall though a nice little site, which is well run with free apples in the autumn! ☺

A very tidy and well maintained site, very close to many and varied amenities, Excellent bus service runs along the coast from Portsmouth to Brighton every 20mins. Only gripe is, on a site where the majority of units were Motor-homes, there is no motorhome service point, apart from that an excellent site we will return to I am sure.

We found the site easily having looked on google maps beforehand. The location was perfect as we wanted to visit several historical sites around Portsmouth.
Was surprised on arrival to find that the pitches are far smaller than the normal C&CC pitch size. We had taken our smaller tent and this fitted OK but our bigger tent and awning would not have done. We had asked for a pitch by the egde and were offered a corner pitch at the back of the site which suited us.
Facilities were the usual C&CC standard, clean and warm. Never had to wait more than a few mins to wash up.
The site is very popular with caravans and campervans, just three tents when we were there. The site was fairly full and there is not much room, luckily we were so busy every day that after we had eaten and washed up we went to bed. Otherwise our son would have been bored.
I have one main criticism of this site and it is the reason we will not return. It is incredibly noisy. Not sure if you are more insulated in a van (most reviews on here say noise not a problem but most are vans) but in a tent the noise levels are awful. Dogs barking in nearby houses, motorbikes on the roads until the early hours, trains from about 5am and the dawn chorus. Had it just been the birds no problem, we expect to hear those but we could not sleep for the noise.
We will be revisiting this area but not this site.

We always visit this site on our first outing of the year. It is very convenient as it's on a bus route the Chichester and Portsmouth. Lovely meals to be had at the pub which is right next door. However, this year we were very disappointed with the new wardens at the site. We were almost turned away as we had changed our motorhome since last year and the new one was half a metre longer than our previous vehicle which we had booked the pitch for. We were eventually allocated a suitably sized pitch but were not allowed to erect our awning, which was almost the sole purpose of our visit, to check if it would fit the new vehicle! After much deliberation we were suddenly given the choice of three other pitches! However we were not allowed to drive into the pitch, which would have given us some sunshine in the awning. The warden insisted we backed in as the awnings all had to face the same way! This resulted in the awning being in constant shade throughout our stay, so we didn't use it! Other campsite members were also complaining of the regimented way the campsite is now being run. Despite all of this we enjoyed wonderful Spring sunshine and visited Gunwharf Quays and the Isle of Wight during our stay. Such a pity that such a lovely friendly site has changed so much since we visited last year.

What a lovely site. Beautifully clean and well kept. Shower\toilet block clean. Push buttons on the showers are NOT a problem. As previously mentioned some placements are a tiny bit small but perfectly adequate. There is a main road that runs past the front of the site but there is virtually no traffic at night so not a problem. There is a good pub only 100m from the site entrance (what bliss) serving well kept real ale. They serve what must be the biggest portions of food I have ever seen but we didn't try them so can't comment on quality. There is a reasonably well stocked local co_op about 100m past the pub. We will definitely stay here again when next in the area.
