Date of Visit: July 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cathy6973 20 reviews from this member

 We recently bought a new awning and were keen to try it before going away for our main summer holiday and realising we were missing 3 poles and 14 pegs! We booked this site as it was close to home and we simply wanted a couple of nights away. In addition, my in-laws had just purchased a new caravan and wanted to test theirs too before going further afield.

We arrived on Friday lunchtime and were able to chose two pitches next to each other, both with electric. Water was some distance away but that’s what you take the kids for! Because the pitches are laid out around the edge of a huge field, you feel like you have the biggest pitch in the world, as there is no caravan or tent in front of you – smashing! You can rent BBQ’s and fire pits, and they even supply the logs and coal – really useful if like us you have a few friends joining you in the evening for a bite to eat and a drink.

The location is amazing, literally right at the bottom of the South Downs, with spectacular views. Hard to believe we were only 4 miles from home (yes, really – handy when you realise you have forgotten something, and being able to use your normal local supermarket where you know where everything is!)

Would we go again – definitely. The facilities are minimal but clean, but if like us you have family and friends that have caravans, this is one of the few sites that let you all go together, where the children can play on the fields and the adults can sit around in the evening over a well-earned glass of wine – super!

 Great campsite right next to the South downs.

Hardstandings for caravans were very good with own water supply and waste drain

Toilets and showers very modern and clean

Lots of room for ball games in a field next door and lots of places to visit nearby

Had a couple of cases where the electricity went out but the site owners sorted it very quickly

Would stay here again

 We arrived on Friday and booked for 3 nights.

Hosts were nice.

Pros

-Location good, near Brighton and other amenities close by.

-Toilet block clean (but see below)

-Pitch reasonably flat

Cons

-Only one toilet block - quite a walk in the middle of the night. Also only 6 showers and toilets so when busy you may need to wait.

-We had a power cut on Sat night

-Can not get into fridge or freezer whenever you want as it is locked. Need to ask the wardens and they are only there during the day. Did not want to keep bothering them.

-Large groups are allowed, we had a large group next to us who were having a very loud party on Friday evening (they eventually turned the music down).

-No park or play facilities. Fine for us as our daughter is older but not good if you have young kids

We left early as my daughter was ill. Would return for location, but the walk to the toilets is a bit of an off put.

Would be good if there was another toilet block and access whenever you want to the freezer.

 The new wardens are so helpful, could not do enough to help us settle in. Toilets was so clean and site, even in December. The walks up the South Downs which are on the door step were great. This site will come into its own especially in the summer. We would recommend this site to all our friends. With Brighton not far away, you have the best of both worlds, beaches, lovely country side.

Reviewer: Dongle12 5 reviews from this member

 We visited this site for a second time this year. We observed it was a lot tidier and the shower block cleaner. The new wardens have made an impact on this site. They were both very helpful without being intrusive. The views spectacular over the South Downs. Very wet and windy but it didn't stop our enjoyment.

Only one problem. The management team did not seem to communicate with their wardens and we got mixed messages. The workmen on site were very ignorant and unhelpful. Communication needs to be improved. Would we return, maybe if no other sites available, but not first choice.

Reviewer: MichaelBenj 20 reviews from this member

 What a nice site. Friendly welcome and plenty of space to pitch when we visited during the last weekend of August. The site has a lovely view over the downs to Jack and Jill windmills.

The toilet block is modern and there are plenty of toilets and showers. The only improvement would be more hanging space in the shower(in the summer its fine with one hook but as the weather gets cooler you have more clothes to hang!) and somewhere to put your shower gel etc.

Electric hook up was a reasonable price if you had two people but as I was on a walking trip and alone it was expensive for one camper so I did without it.

I particularly liked the quietness of the site. There was a nice kids play area but it was also possible to pitch in a second field and be peaceful.

Local shops at Keymer were a 15 minute walk away through lanes and there was more shops at Burgess Hill or Hassocks.

 Nice well kept and clean site with good facilities. The wardens were very welcoming and hard working a asset to the site. Great location at the foot of the south downs with easy access to brighton and london via train a short walk away. Hope to visit again soon.

 We had a great time at Southdown Way Park.

The Daughter & Dad team were fantastic, from booking, arriving & toleaving, they even looked after Marley our silly labrador whilst at a bbq at the Jack & Jill

Facilities were 2nd to none, clean & tidy.

We wouldn't hesitate to come back again and would really recommend it to family and friends.

Thanks for a lovely stay, we will be back.

 Lovely peaceful basic site. Very spacious. On both visits to this site (both in July) we booked last minute and were still able to be accommodated on a full service hard standing pitch.

The staff are very friendly and very accommodating.

The dogs had a wonderful time and were allowed to run free on the big field.

The toilets and shower block were always pristine.

The gardens were neat and tidy.

Train station and shops a 20 minute walk away so no need to take car into brighton

Reviewer: Philipandkelly 1 review from this member

 We hadn't been camping for over a decade so were anxious. The owner had communicated with us prior to arrival so we were prepared. All the amenities were clean and well above expectations, the vibe of the camp was very welcoming & peaceful. Our 2 black labs had the run of the lower field which they loved! Both camp wardens were friendly, very helpful & had lovely dogs for ours to play with. This campsite caters to all & we are very much looking forward to returning in 2014!
