We chose this site for out first short visit to check everything out with our caravan after winter because of it being quite close to home and also because we had been before.
This is a very friendly site, the staff are all very helpful and willing to do whatever they can to help. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.
Pitching up the caravan was a breeze and thankfully the weather was fab for the weekend.
This is a great site for both youngsters and the more mature. Something for everyone.
The site has quite a lot to offer itself along with the added beauty of crossing the main road and you are on miles and miles of SANDY beach! Perfect
There are indoor swimming pools on site that look great, but I cant comment on those as we never used them.
There is a restaraunt/club area where they have evening entertainment which is great fun for everyone. A bar and a pub. Small cafe for fish and chips, pies etc (eat in or take away) and small on site shop. Plenty of activities to keep small children entertained.
About 200 yards walk down the main road is another Pub should you wish to go off site
The only real down side I could find is the toilet/shower blocks could do with updating. I have always been an early riser so only 2 showers available is no problem for me, but if any other water in either of the male or female block is run then it seriously effects the water in the shower. Both mornings (bearing in mind I was in there at 6am) I experienced the extreme water change while showering.
The taps are push button, which is good for saving water, but during our stay I came across 3 taps that were not working either in the ladies or in the washing up area.
Even with these little niggles the positives far outweigh the negatives and we will still be returning and keeping this on our 'regular' site list
Rye Harbour and Town is a very short car journey from the site and is well worth a visit. A very relaxing old town great for an amble. The towns deli is a must, the pies and sandwiches in there are lovely, bit pricey but worth it.
We thank all the staff at the park for making us both feel at home and for such a wonderful break.
We will be back later in the year for another taster.

When first arrive staff were friendly, Given good pitch for our tent.
Toilets and showers were clean, Hand dryer in men’s toilet did not work for first 2 days though
Has launderette with tumble dryers @ £2. 00 per hour which we thought was good value
Swimming pool was very good although it did not open until 10am.
Evening entertainment was good, Kids loved it and was dancing up front leaving us to relax and enjoy a drink
Beer was off and even though staff did exchange it they did not seem bothered or concerned - Got the impression they knew there was a problem with it.
Site is very close to beach which was lovely, Just a shame that there was quite a bit of dog mess along the pavement before beach so you had to keep looking down as you walk
Overall worth the money, Had a fantastic break and looking forward to going back next year.

A few things but nothing really bad. We had a recent visit for a 3 night stay in our caravan, weather was good considering what the British weather has been like. Meet as we drove in by the caretaker who collected our paperwork and directed us to a choice of pitches (tents and caravans are all in one place, but to be honest seemed like you could pitch where ever you wanted). Noticed quite a bit of rubbish around the site, that did not get picked up. All settled in nicely and went for a walk to take in the site. This is a very large site, the toilet block was clean but only had two showers, see this being a problem in main season, but hot water at all times. You are right on the beach and perfect if your kids love collecting shells. Ideal for familys and people who take their dogs with them. Chip shop was a great option and very friendly staff. We went to the club house on our first night and too be honest is very scary if you have children, very large and very dark in there, my husband was not very impressed with only 3 young staff behind bar area and it was packed in there, so be prepared to queue for a pint.
Rye is a very nice place to visit and Hastings is a must. Nearest supermarket (Sainsbury) was 30 mins away, shop on site very well stocked but prices as you would expect, quite steep.
Pool was perfect for the kids, just did not like the fact that you walk in and sit in watching area with your shoes on over the other side of the pool, and no throwing things in the water other than a beach ball very warm in there as well.
Lots of 2p machines for the kids, they could do with filling them up everynight as our 8 year old, only wanted to play the ones where you may win a keyring, by the 2nd night none left to win and still the same on the 3rd night.
We would go again and think Park Resorts offer great value holidays, would not be too bothered if we did not go to the club house as need a torch to see your way around lol

We stayed at this site on May 18th for 3 nights in our touring caravan.
We have used this site over the past few years as its central for Hastings and Folkestone and have good entertainment in the club in the evenings, the pool is nice, plus a takeaway fish and chip shop plus a general shop that stocks most items, the beach is just over the road.
To our disappointment there seems little organization when arriving onto a pitch, there are no painted lines or shrubs to say where the pitch boundaries are, when we set up Friday afternoon the site was about half full so we had a few pitches to choose from, we went to Hastings for the day on Saturday but when we came back there was another touring caravan about 2 feet from ours, I felt sorry for a couple in a small tent, as when they came back from a day out 2 huge camper vans had parked very close either side of their tent, caravans, tents and camper vans were just parked all over the place.
During our stay there was a tent with 6 teenage girls in, and they were very noisy and a lot of bad language, a few people complained including myself, security asked them to quieten down, which they did for about an hour, then started up again, this went on most of the weekend.
This will be the last time I use this site which is a shame as the entertainment is very good and I think the pitch prices are good.

We last used this site in September 2010 & we enjoyed it with our first cheap caravan, so we decided to return with our now family of 3 boys 4, 2 & 10 weeks old & our new caravan. Sadly we were generally disappointed!
The positives are a a great position next to the beach/ good location in general close to Rye & a very good clean & modern swimming pool complex. The bar was also very pleasant & we had fantastic sunny weather.
The negatives were that although they had been open for a week or 2 the facilities block had not finished its refurbishment or cleaning which left the possibility of using the disabled facility only (would not have minded if we had been informed before our trip!). The touring field is a mess, with broken concrete roads, very shabby bits of grass most of which was not level which also had broken concrete in, they had put down 30 or so pieces of new turf but this will not take or make a difference. There are no marked pitches & the site is clearly not cared for!
For a family holiday park it was strange that the evening entertainment from 6pm to 8pm was bingo which was adults only & you had to be quiet. Bearing in mind it was the start of the season the whole complex / park / staff were unprepared & it had the appearance of having closed in November & they had just re-opened the doors in March without having carried out cleaning or maintenance. The chip shop served me freshly cooked fish that was off & the staff when challenged could not really care less. There was also an issue with the speed of traffic on the site (much to fast) & a motorcyclist that thought he was Evil Kneival & was never challenged by security staff.
Overall the site is in a great position but the touring facility is sadly wasted & the staff are already unhappy or uncaring 2 weeks into the season with 8 or so months to go until the park closes. We will not be returning!

Arrived and told to wait in touring area for someone to show us our pitch. Had to wait some time as there were two caravans also waiting to be pitched.
Showed to a corner which we were told would be quiet and sheltered (It was VERY windy all the time). Despite there only being a couple of foot either side of us (bank one side, static the other) people still insisted on squeezing through past the tent. This was going on till the early hours and most weren't that quiet. The bank attracted all the kids with bikes so they were cycling up and down beside our tent from the early hours. These and the constant wind meant we got very little sleep.
Our pitch was dry but very uneven and we had to carefully position our tent to avoid a big dip and some concrete slabs in the grass.
The toilets/showers were not as bad as I had expected. Reasonably clean. Lack of hooks for hanging clothes by the sinks and no hairdrier point as advertised. Nor anything to clean the showers before and after use.
Only one water point which we struggled to find. According to the website there are several dotted about!
We left early partly because we were desperate for sleep but also the wind meant we couldn't even boil a kettle as the gas was blowing all over the place. If you can't even have a cuppa first thing then things have got bad!
