Hi there,
I'm going round in circles trying to find a campsite online and wondered if anyone might be able to offer any recommendations for a campsite in West Sussex, ideally close to the coast, with the following:
- electric grass pitches
- allow group bookings (2 families of 4, no pets)
- allow booking in advance
Many thanks in advance!
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Welcome to UKCS.
Try using the Site Search on here. I’ve not come across a site that does not allow booking in advance: the site search will give you a phone number & website link, the link to contact a site directly does not work well (in my experience).
Finally, you might be better booking separately & arriving together.
It's a good few years since I lived in that area, but we used sites round Bracklesham bay, East West wittering. The sites were an easy walk to the sea and I think they are still up and running.
I recall that on weekends,the traffic from south of London was horrific, but quiet at other times.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
Generally in my experience, group bookings are NOT available on online booking systems, but talking to site owners/managers often gets you what you need. Many sites have a 'no groups' policy, so they deliberately prevent that kind of automated booking, but talking to them and explaining you're an extended family or just a couple of friends meets with their approval. I've certainly done it successfully.
Alternatively, check good availability (you don't want to be booking the last pitch!), and make two individual online bookings in quick succession. It's a slight gamble that you get both bookings, as no idea how quickly others are booking pitches!
Always best to talk to site, as although you may get automated booking, if they allocate pitches on booking, as opposed to allowing you to chose on arrival, you may not be near each other on site!

Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
