 Overall I do enjoy this site. It is 3rd time for me.
However the first time I have taken my son who is 14 and admittedly does look older, however was singled out twice by staff on the playground without then asking first why he was there. Also there was massive confusion over the rules of the playground. (Telling our 14 year old to use another playground whilst our 10 year old could use the playground is not a reasonable ask when on holiday.
Graham being the most attentive and helpful member of staff does deserve a mention. He and the team did deal with a very difficult situation in the right way which I do applaud.
All the facilities were reasonable for disabled persons too

Well my wife may be younger than me but is more mature than me so in between young and mature couple.
Well the campsite has all the amenities you may need and is very peaceful.
Nice and easy as the hardstandings are straight, so you just pull up either side and unhook, no reversing in.
The toilets and showers were very clean. I think it was extra for wifi which we didn't use, but using data there was okay. People were friendly and welcoming.
Graham did mention about parking nearer the facilities for more sun which in hindsight would have been nicer as the sun didn't really get to us at all, but very nice site, and can imagine it gets very busy in summer.

We arrived mid afternoon and found the site very well signposted. The reception and check in is basically a drive through so they come out to you! You are then lead to your pitch.
The site itself is basic but has all you need including clean showers and toilets.
The staff are all very friendly. We had a heavy thunderstorm on our last night and I quite expected to wake up to standing water as the ground was so dry but once the rain had stopped it was like it hadn't been raining!
All in all a very nice site and would be our choice if we visited the area again. Its around 30 minutes to Brighton.

We liked the peaceful location.
We were in walking distance of the lovely pub The Wheatsheaf.
A walk of approx 40 minutes into Henfield and we got the bus to Brighton.

Site great, toilets clean, great walking for the dog.
Shame shop was closed. Nice also to be able to pick our own spot.
Am sure it is not quite like that during the summer season.

Nice flat grass pitches, with EHU. Easy to find with the black and white cows at the entrance.
Relatively new toilet/ shower block, with water taps and Elsan point. Beautiful fishing lake and nice dog walks.
There was a shop but we didn’t see it open.
About 30 minute drive to Brighton, closer to the Devils dyke.
We tripped the electric a few times during our 2 night stay.
Pleasant quiet site.

The campsite was beautiful, set in an absolutely lovely part of the countryside. We were there with family, including children ranging 7 - 13 years old, parents and grandparents.
Toilets were cleaned reguarly throughout our stay and always fully stocked with toilet roll and hand sanitiser.
Site was clean and check in v straightforward. There is a family field with play area, which was quite busy.
However we stayed in another field that much quieter and we have plenty of space. Some lovely walks nearby, especially to the lake.
Weather great, all in all a wonderful place to visit.

Fantastic site, great park and kids loved the rope swings.
My kids said it’s their favourite site yet.
Loads of facilities, easy access,
Will definitely come back.

Everyone likes, and needs different things from a site.
Personally Blacklands suited me perfectly.
Stay at Blacklands if :
You have Primary age kids(play areas are excellent)
There are a few of you in a group ( no marked pitches, so you pitch where the space is)
You want a busy, lively, weekend site.
You love an evening campfire.
Don't stay at Blacklands if:
You expect pristine, faultless toilets and showers.
Kids playing around your pitch annoys you.
You want to party past 11pm ( they have a no music policy and patrol the site past 11pm)
You like quiet weekends away( midweek are a lot quieter, but the site is busy at weekends)
I would love to visit again 😀

1. Family friendly run campsite that requires significant energy and management experience to maintain the large numbers of people at any one time,
Toilet cleanliness, and day-to-day issues and people constantly arriving and leaving. Four fields, huge toilet and shower blocks, various wash-up facilities, some with hot water, were sufficient in number, hot water in shower was included, ample loo rolls available in each toilet with constant toilet supervision,
On-site shop with essentials, a simple freezer for ice blocks that was swopped to increase its size, and a simple 4 socket extension cable for phone charging kept under tarpaulin along with soft chairs to relax.
2. Sufficient rules to keep semblence of order and some extra rules were added at my request were dealt with quickly and with courtesy. Camp fires early evening through to mid-night were very popular across the site amongst groups so the air can get very smokey.
Also, due to the random nature of different types of people pitching nearby, light sleepers might be kept awake until 02:00am with conversations beyond the 23:00pm curfew for keeping noise to a minimum.
Traffic noise was barely noticeable in Paddock A. The main field for large family groups and children's play area can get very busy at weekends so would not be appropriate for couples wanting some relaxation.
We enjoyed our stay very much in Paddock A with the added benefit of many places to visit, the countryside setting that offered nearby walks to three or more attractive pubs.
Make sure to ask for map from the shop as we only became aware of this feature from fellow walkers, without which our destination to The Bull Inn would have been much more difficult yet the walk still had its problems with tracks fading out, ramblers signage found in dis-repair, and warnings about trespass.
Big thanks to Graham and Neil for the extra help and extended stay.
Would happily stay again.

A great place, very relaxed rules. Very friendly, Toilets and showers not 5 star but adequate and free.
Excellent touch on first night when a man in a buggy drove around telling us shop was about to close.
Choose your own pitch and the fire bowls looked great although we didn't use one. Nice atmosphere with some groups all camped together.
Lovely lake to fish but could perhaps do with a bit more info. Can't think of anything to criticise.
As they say on Love Island -"It is what it is" No frills but very nice and quiet but friendly.

Nice compact site with excellent shop and decent facilities.
The kids in the group loved the play area and it was great to be able to sit up as a group round a fire-pit on our second night. Nice walks easily accessible and staff very friendly.
Toilets and showers are dated, but clean and perfectly adequate.

We stayed from Fri 1st to Sun 3rd of June and were very impressed with the improvements on Blacklands Farm. They kindly sent us an email on the day of pitching to let us know the site was very wet and muddy, giving us the option of cancelling. We didn't and were very glad. Yes it was wet and muddy but you just get on with it, despite the conditions the showers and other facilities were kept clean and tidy. The play area is excellent and has more stuff in it than the last time we were here. The staff all seemed very friendly and very hardworking. Only thing of fault were some parents who let the kids stay in the play area after the 9. 30pm kick out and thought it funny to run rings around the staff member trying to lock it up for the night!.
The only downside is that although you can book online you just find a plot on arrival, ok on some weekends but it's hard to pitch 3 tents together on busy times.
