 Just spent a couple of nights at Acorns and it is not enough, where to start?
Great host, thank you Albert.
Great spot,
Fantastic facilities, very clean and lashings of hot water.
Great for kids, they loved the Nature Trail.
The pitches are well spaced and the whole place has a lovely peaceful feel to it.
The only problem was we couldn't stay longer!
The local village is also spot on, great pub, Chip shop and a Coop all within a ten minute walk.

Had a lovely stay, the site is small which I like, its clean tidy and very welcoming. Two toilets, two showers & wash area, always clean and stocked up with toilet roll!
There is a lovely walk in the woods if you turn right out of the site, cross road and pass the Woodmans arms, through bridleways and footpaths. We got a bit lost !
I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend.
Thank you both. And Pirate Pete the cat !

A delightful campsite, fairly small, but not at all cramped. The lovely owner spaces the pitches well and although we didn't have one there were some lovely secluded pitches around the edge of the site. I know some people mention the quality of the ground, not being an expert all I can say is good short grass, easy to bang pegs into mud and fairly flat but not a bowling green!
The showers and loos are immaculate, we never had to queue and there was plenty of hot water.
I marked 7/10 for child friendliness - it's absolutely fine for older children (11 and 14 in my case) or babies, but I would imagine toddlers and primary school children might find the restrictions on cycling or ball games hard.
The location was really the best thing for us, it was a brilliant base for a holiday as the train station at Angmering isn't too far (5min drive) and we had day trips to Chichester, Brighton (my girls wanted to extend our stay so we could go back) and Portsmouth Historic Dockyards (an excellent day out). There are loads of things to do near by and it's so lovely to come back in the evening to a quiet site (no late night parties here).
Fish and chip shop and Indian take-away are both in walking distance and very good, 'The Lamb' in Angmering also looked good and was busy but we didn't have time to try it.
No BBQ's may be a downside, it didn't matter to us as we were out all the time and ate out or grabbed food on the way back, but usually we relax on a site much more and cook outdoors so that's worth noting and a bit of a shame as there's so much fresh seafood available at the coast.
The other thing to note is that there is never a true silence at this site due to the A27, it's a constant hum so you wouldn't really notice until you listen out for it (like the sea). Having lived near the M25 it didn't bother us in the slightest.
It's very likely we will return next year.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at Acorns what a fantastic site! Set in a beautiful wooded area there are not many pitches and Albert ensures that you have plenty of room for each pitch, which is refreshing!There is an array of wildlife around and we saw the deers early one morning - fab!
The toilets and showers were spotless every time we visited them, the washing up area is really good, the only thing that could improve this site is the use of a freezer for ice packs etc.
It is located brilliantly for sightseeing across West Sussex. We did spend quite a lot of time going up and down the A27, which was ok as we packed a lot in our week, luckily we had fantastic weather, which always helps! If you get the chance to visit Fishbourne Palace go as it is awesome!
Not mentioned in other reviews is the need for hard ground pegs, it is quite stoney and luckily for us we'd taken ours, but best to be prepared, along with insect repellent spray/candles!
We visited the Woodmans Arms three times in our stay, the food (though not the cheapest) is fantastic, the service impeccable and what a lovely pub (shame about the A27 noise). We also had 2 takeaways from Shafiques (being curry veterans we were sceptical) but its fantastic food, hence the 2nd visit!
The owners were great hosts, but just as friendly was Pete the one eyed cat, what a character! Lovely site which I would have no problems recommending to anyone wanting peace and quiet - thanks, hope to see you again in the future.

What a wonderful setting for a campsite, the generously spaced pitches are all in prime locations within this woodland glade. The showers and toilets are spotless and the welcome from Albert is second to none, pirate Pete the one eyed cat is a real character on the site who treated our dog with the contempt he deserved. The walk through the woods is very pleasant on the well defined path and you would rarely need wellies to walk round it. We explored the area quite extensively and found the location ideal for many places of interest such as Arundel and the South Downs Park which is well worth touring around. Brighton is not too far and the Pavilion and Lanes are worth visiting. The local supermarket is a Sainsburys but others a well within reach. For a treat try the Food Restaurant in Worthing for a good meal out in with great service in a lovely place. Acorns is easy to reach, very secluded in a beautiful setting and has a friendly helpful owner, there is not much more we could want.

We have been campers for many years and have never bothered leaving a review before, but this site was so good, I felt compelled to review it.
On arrival the warden made us feel very welcome with his humorous guide to the facilities and local amenities.
The toilet/shower blocks were always clean, but with only 2 toilets and 2 showers for each sex they may get busy at the height of the season, although this wasn't a problem for us. The washing up area was always clean as well.
The site was tranquil and beautiful, as a keen bird spotter I saw plenty of species around the place.
The local village of Angmering was only a couple of minutes away by car and had all the usual shops and pubs.

We spent a weekend at Acorns and had a great time. The owner was friendly and very helpful on arrival. The site was immaculate, the showers were the best Ive used whilst camping. The ladies and gents contained two hand basins, two toilets and two showers each, which was ample during our stay. We walked into the beautiful village centre which is about a mile down the road. The village has a pub, chemist, CO-OP, and a couple of takeaways. We were told from the outset that if the kids wanted to play with their football to go to the park across the road, but this wasn't an issue. The nature trail through the woods was both interesting and informative, taking about 20 minutes. To surmise a spacious and quiet, well presented campsite, set in beautiful woodland with a plethora of wildlife. I would stay again if visiting the area.

We chose the Acorns to trial our new campervan by sticking a pin in UKCampsite.co.uk and reading the reviews. We didn't think every visitor could be exaggerating the attractions of this site, and so it proved.
There really isn't a lot that we can add to others' comments. The site is beautifully located, peaceful, private, with toilets, showers, wash-up and waste disposal facilities provided to an extremely high standard. Albert and Pam are marvellous hosts and there is no end to the many places to visit and explore.
The village of Angmering is just a 15 minute walk and well worth a visit. There are many fine examples of flintstone architecture (including St Margaret's Church dating back to the 12th century), and a recently re-furbished pub, the Lamb, which keeps Harvey's. Angmering is a very pretty village, struggling to retain its identity in the face of the demands of 21st century developers.
We enjoyed a good evening meal at the Woodman's Arms which is only about 200 yards from the site (they do Fullers but not Harvey's). Others have mentioned places such as Arundel, Littlehampton, Brighton - all within easy reach - but not what we were after on our first trip off the drive, getting to know the new campervan.
For a maiden voyage I can't think of a better way in which to lose my innocence than to visit Angmering. Of course many campers, far more seasoned than us, also speak very highly of the Acorns, and we will certainly be returning in the future to this delightful spot at the foot of the South Downs.

We had a lovely week here with our kids aged 14 and 12 in the Whit hols. Some rain, some sun so experience of both. Albert very welcoming - we were showed to our roomy pitch where we could put the tent where we liked and he explained where things were etc. There isn't much for kids around, but we knew that before we went. The site is very pretty though near a busy road (and some kind of shooting also seems to go and night at this time of year).
Woodmans Arms apparently doesn't accept children and it was shut when we tried anyhow (5. 45). It is a ten minute walk to the village where you'll fine an Indian takeaway, a chip shop and a Coop - all are fine. The Lamb in the village looked OK for food, but we didn't eat there as it seemed to have no garden. The Spotted Cow is further up the High St (hidden away a bit), can't comment on that one either sorry. We cycled to both Worthing (small seaside town) and Littlehampton (even smaller seaside town) both bits we experienced were a mix of shingle and sand, but pleasant enough places to visit.
Not great for cycling with younger kids (I think we were expecting the site to be a bit more like parts of the new forest by the description).
Brighton is an easy & cheap train ride away - the train station is a twenty to twenty five minute walk away. Chichester is within easy reach in the other direction - a small Roman(?) town with a beautiful cathedral. Arundel castle is a very short drive or longer walk away and is well worth a visit, amazing. We also went to the Surrey County Show at Guildford which was fab!
The facilities on the site are clean and the 'girls' only had to queue once for a shower of which there are two. The showers in the ladies' could be a little hotter, but that is personal preference. The site never gets very busy. Can cater for up to 14 units, so always lots of room and peaceful.
Recommended for older people or families where kids don't mind being quietish while on the site. We didn't know about the 'woodland trail' - just thought the campsite ended up the path and that was that. But would have gone for a walk up there if we'd known.

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at 'Acorns' and feel completely relaxed and 'chilled out'. What a perfect site to come to if you need time to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle.
On arrival we were greeted by Albert and given a choice of pitches, Albert gave us some general information about the site and surrounding area. The pitches were big and well spaced out.
The site is set in a beautiful woodland setting and is so lovely and quiet, it is a far cry from the bigger tourist sites with playgrounds and entertainment etc. The toilet/showers are spotlessly clean and adequate for the size of the site as was the washing up area.
The small village of Angmering is very close by and has a co-op and pharmacy etc. For essentials and Sainsburys is only a 5 minute drive away. We visited Arunel, Worthing and Littlehampton which were all within 10 miles of the site and worth a visit.
This is a site we would definite consider visiting again and have already recommended it to friends.
