 It was good if you wanted yo go to the beach club a bit small for so many caravans /tents /motorhomes. Water close by, toilets and showers very clean.
One thing though its not very disabled friendly no proper path to the toilets or club depending where you were and quite isolated.

Great location and facilities but too crowded and too many all night parties. Next caravan to us partied until 2:30 am. I realise they are on holiday but more respect for others required.

We just stayed one night but had a fabulous time and have already booked for next month.
A beautiful setting with luxury amenities far beyond our expectations.
5 Stars from us.

Went for a weekend with our 3 year old grandson. This site is probably the most expensive we have stayed at in the UK, but very far from the best. There is a medium sized touring area adjacent to a very large area of static caravans and small chalets.
Just over the perimeter wall is a traffic-free promenade (but watch out for speeding cyclists !) and access to a pebble beach, nice for swimming/paddling when the tide is in and for beachcombing when it's out. A traditional ice cream man with a bike and a handbell cycles up and down the promenade.
There's a good playground and a very large football/playing field.
The toilet/shower block is modern, quite clean (although lacking in any mop or squeegee with which guests could clean up after them), and (a rare complaint !) with showers that are actually too hot - the temperature can't be changed by the user. Entrance to the block is by means of one of those annoying passcodes.
The small swimming pools are very suitable for children (not for adults) and the timed entry sessions are a good way of preventing people from hogging it, although the staff were not up to the job of properly monitoring attendance.
However 4 major criticisms would mean that we will not be returning. The grassy touring area was covered in small bits of litter, including broken glass and (2 bits very near our pitch) dog poo. There were also several small filled black bags, presumably containing dog poo, blowing about. There were 2 larger piles of litter, attracting flies, near the 2 exits to the promenade, but within the site. We didn't see any staff attempting to clean up the site while we were there, although one or two employees were regularly moving or emptying the site's large wheelie bins.
The hard-standing pitches, and some of the site paths, were made of large sized stones and clinker, uncomfortable to walk on and ugly to look at.
Our particular hard standing pitch, and the others next to us, were right next to an access road to the static/chalet area which meant a constant stream of vehicles passing too fast close to us all the time. This meant we couldn't allow our grandchild to play freely near our pitch.
And the service was poor. Staff behind the bar were often chatting to each other and had to be chivvied to attend to customers, meaning queues were unnecessarily long. A person in reception ignored me when I went in with a question and continued chatting on the telephone.

Nice over night stay. Bargain last minute booking @£11 night for a non electric pitch. Lovely view of the sea and 1 min from the beach.
45 min walk to whitstabe, 15 min cycle.
Didn't use any facilities apart from toilet/showers which were clean and modern.

We stayed at Seaview over the bank holiday weekend in our touring caravan.
Even though we had been before, we were escorted to our pitch by a very polite staff member on a bicycle.
We went with friends and the site place us next to each other.
The site was full and was reasonable quiet; I understand there were a few disturbances in the camping area, but none on the electric pitches.
There is now a new toilet and shower block, that was kept clean, but the showers were not very good, you push the button and sometimes water came out other times it was just a dribble, my wife said it was the same in the lady’s showers so we ended up using the shower in the caravan.
Our children and grandchildren came down for a visit on the Saturday and we were surprised that there weren’t many people in the pool, my wife asked for wrist bands and was given some for the next session.
We didn’t eat in the club, but our friends went in there for a breakfast but had to wait 45 minutes.
The site is situated in a fantastic position, right next to the beach, and between Whitstable and Herm Bay, with plenty of takeaways near by.

We arrive at Seaview on 11th May for 3 nights and paid £66.
The site now only have pitches on the beach side, the pitches next to the original shower block are now going to have statics on, there are 2 porta cabins on the beach side and do not look very attractive, but they were clean and usable, there are only 4 showers so if the site is busy 4 showers won’t be enough, you can still use the original shower block but it is a bit of a trek, we were told that the porta cabins were only a temporary measure and a new toilet/shower block will be built later, it will be interesting to see how long this takes.
The touring pitches are hard standing and grass for the awning, we stayed last year and there were a lot of new plants and bushes that looked untidy, the site have removed most of these bushes and the area looks much better.
The reception staffs were very friendly and helpful, the pitch they had us booked onto, I preferred another pitch, as the site was only about a 3rd full they moved us.
It`s nice that the beach is just over the sea wall, and you can walk to either Whitstable or Herne Bay.
This time we didn’t use the club or the swimming pool, we have used them in the past and all were good
We have booked to go back on August bank holiday, we expect the site to be full.

Location was great but that is it. The camping field was noisy with music till 1am. The Portaloos were full of feaces and didn't flush. The water point ( one only) was too far from camping field. The shower block was clean but again too far from the camping field. The swimming pool set up was a joke. You are expected to get up at 7am whilst on holiday to book a 45mins swim. It seems the campers are an afterthought and not catered for. On the video on the website was a play area with tunnels etc that my son wanted to play on but it didn't exist. The price paid for 2 nights didn't reflect what we received. This was our first visit to Park Holidays we usually go to Park Resorts. It left us with a negative opinion of Park Holidays

We found the smaller touring section to be weedy and unkempt although a pleasant flower bed brightened up the area - pity about straggly weeds along the fence. The showers and toilet blocks are generally clean, but dingy looking and need updating. The grass touring area is only served by portaloos and are quite a way from the only other block. The young man on reception was friendly, helpful and welcoming, not so the lady in the shop. We didn't use the pool or club.
The site is well placed for sea-front walks and a good bus service passes the end of the site approach. These are the bonus points.

We stayed at Seaview in our touring caravan on Thursday 15th October for 5 nights; there were 6 other caravan/motor homes on the site that weekend, I have used this site a few times over the years, mainly out of season, we paid £62 which I thought was a good price, one evening it rained heavy over night, but the hard standing pitch copped well and the rain water drained away well.
There was no heating on in the shower blocks which made it chilly after a shower, and the showers are the push button type, I have to agree with the other comments that there could do with a stool in the shower to put things on.
2 mornings I had a cooked breakfast in the club that cost £6 each time, at first it seemed a reasonable price for a coffee and orange juice, 2 slices of bread and a cooked breakfast, but when the breakfast turned up, there was one egg, one sausage, one slice of bacon, 2 tinned tomatoes and some beans so not a large breakfast but ok, it was nice and hot though.
One afternoon I had a lunch in the club, I had a madras curry and rice with a naan bread for £8, again the meal was on the small side, but tasted fine. Kronenbourg was £3. 75 which is cheaper than I'm used to paying so I was happy.
I had my mountain bike with me; I had pleasant ride to Herne bay along the sea wall, there is a pub half way there so it was a good excuse for a beer rest, you can also travel the opposite way to Whitstable along the sea wall.
We will be using this site again next year as our grandchildren are coming up to 3 and 4 so It will be a perfect site to fetch them as they will appreciate the children’s entertainment, plus the beach right next to the site, and its only 35 miles from home.
