 Just returned from our second weekend this year. This is our third year and it gets better every time. The staff couldn't be more helpful. They deal with any trouble straight away, two rowdy groups were told to leave at midnight on Saturday and a group that was noisy on Friday night were warned, resulting in a peaceful Saturday night. Its great to see all the kids enjoying themselves. Our two are young teenagers who love it. The site is so big they always make new friends. We start the day with a cycle to the local shop for croissants and newspaper and end with a walk along the beach. This year we've discovered the new Salterns Way which is a purpose made cycle path from West Wittering through Chichester Marina (great stop for an ice-cream) and then onto the canal into Chichester. Wonderful! If you have young kids, check out the crab pool off the footpath at West Wittering. Take a line and some bacon, its great fun.

Just spent two nights in the 'weekend field' on this site. This site is brill if you just want to arrive and pitch your tent wherever YOU want to (particularly good if you are part of a group with several tents), The childrens play area is safe, and fairly visible (depending on how many tents arrive!). The toliet block is big enough, modern and clean (but don't forget to bring some hand wash). The site is very friendly and laid back, yes that means that you may experience some noise from children and adults till late but hey your'e on holiday! My eight year old loved it, she could play safely in the dark with her new friends near to the tents, cycle round the site, walk to the beach (about 15 min walk with little legs and a stop at the shops) and swim in the surprising warm sea. West Wittering is a charming little village, fantastic beaches especially when tide is right out. Will be back very soon.

Just come back from a really nice weekend at this site. Looking at the other reviews I think things must have changed over the last year.
It was very peaceful despite the fact it was very busy on site. Some thing else that appears to have changed is that the shower blocks have been modernised and you no longer need a pile of 20p coins for them. The showers are now free.
East Wittering is only a few minutes walk away and has a couple of take away food outlets, 2 supermarkets a butchers so provisions are readily available. There are also a couple of watersports shops and a registered dive centre so all in all everything is on your doorstep. Would recommend this site and look forward to returning.

We have stayed at Scotts Farm before and wanted to visit again over the August Bank Holiday weekend. We did have a great time but it was extremely busy. As they operate a 'pitch where you like' policy, you have to rely on other people having a bit of sense and not pitching right on top of you (which wasn't the case on the Saturday afternoon - tents appeared next to us while we were out, literally five feet away, leaving no space to park the car. Luckily, they were gone by Sunday afternoon.) It's more the fault of the owners, cramming in as many units as they can. Then again, it's the most popular and busiest weekend of the year - you have to accept it will be extremely busy when the weather forecast is good.
The overflow shower blocks that were opened were a bit ancient and having to find enough 20p pieces for me and the three daughters to all shower was tricky (you don't get long for your money!). This caught me unaware as the other blocks are free - be warned! Enormous queues formed too both for the showers and, more amusingly, for the washing up facilities - all these people waiting patiently in a queue with their bowls of plates and their fairy liquid!
It can get a bit noisy during the evenings but was generally quiet by 11.30. In fact, we wwere disturbed more by a neighbouring tent who's toddler woke at 5.30am and didn't bother lowering their voices to speak to it. What happened to the 11-7 quiet rule?!
Don't be put off visiting Scotts Farm by this - we aren't and will be going again next year. It is a great site, maybe not to everyone's tastes but we like it because it is close to West Wittering beach, which is fantastic and one of our favourite places.

Not my cup of tea, I prefer somewhere quieter. There was a lot of noise until late at night. The childrens play area had a big sand pit but my 6 year old daughter and her friend came running back to my caravan to say some older children were throwing sand at them. There was no shop to buy any of the basics.
The good side about this site is the showers and toilets were clean and you could get to choose your own pitch

Stayed on this site three times as relatives live in same village. Like other reviewers, find their groups policy a bit perplexing as they allow groups of "rowdy" families to form super pitches for all night drinking parties and don't bat an eyelid. Although the site is big with marked but "self-select" pitches, it would be a hundred times better if they had a areas for these groups to pitch so people like us who want to sleep at night have a fighting chance! I think their main problem is that they appear to have an agency night security guard (usually a very young guy) sitting in the office, who turns a blind eye to the noise. Toilet/Shower facilities are top class. Location near beach, Chichester, and village shops great!

Many of the family have been camping at Scotts Farm for decades. After 15 yrs away from camping, I now have my own kids and have started again. Scotts Farm is not the place it was. There are now 5 fields,1 for caravans with EHU another mixed caravans and tents with some EHU. The old kite field is now a camping field with no electrics and there are two further overflow/weekend only fields. You can pitch where you like which is good, and the toilets and showers are ok. The beach is good, although busier there is still plenty of room. The shops are close and have everything you need. There are a few places to eat and drink. I will certainly return to the site because it is so convenient and you know what you're getting (and it's in my blood).

I've just come back from a couple of days camping at this site, and I have to say it wasn't my cup of tea at all.
On the plus side, the showers and washing up facilities were fine, clean enough and plentiful enough and lots of free hot water. The fields themselves were very flat, there was a nice play area (although better suited to over 6's, I think), it was very close to the beach and shops (although east wittering beach, not west wittering) and the staff seemed nice.
On the negative side, it was SOOOO noisy. There were children running wild, some really young, and my 1 and 4 yr old quiet girls were scared in the play area because of all the sand-throwing. The child noise at night didn't stop until 10:30 pm - and I am talking about very noisy ball games/hide and seek games etc. The adults were also very noisy with a LOT of radios etc on most of the time. Slight niggles were no soap in the toilets (although I am fairly new to camping and maybe this is common!) and not enough hanging/storage space in the showers.

This is an excellent site and very cheap. Showers and loos very clean. There is no allocated pitches so you can pitch where you want which is good news for campers with large tents, we found it perfect for groups of families but may not suit single campers, noise was a bit of a problem but it was just people enjoying themselves, we would definitely go back again and again.

Huge campsite with millions of caravans etc, but so tranquil and quiet! We arrived on Friday evening and had to queue to book in and were then sent to choose our pitch anywhere we liked in a choice of 2 fields. As 1 field has caravans and electrical hookups, we chose the plain field which was already very busy but we were still able to pitch with plenty of room for our massive tent. It did get even busier and for a time you were worried that if you moved the car, someone might pitch a tent on it! By Sunday evening 75% of the tents had gone home and we had the rest of the week almost to ourselves.
The shower blocks were clean and when busy they had a further couple of blocks which were opened. The grass was lovely and flat with no rocks (although plenty of molehills!). A lovely walk to the town and to the beach with a Tesco, co-op, greengrocer, butcher etc all close by. Well worth a visit and we will definitely go back. The kids loved it as well (12,10,8 and 7) and they have a massive dog walking field for the pooch.

The ironic thing about this site was if I had borrowed my friend’s 10 year old brother and one of his friends for the weekend we would have been allowed on with no problems. I turned up with my boyfriend and we pitched our tent. My brother and his girlfriend came 2 hours later and to keep with the no groups rule they brought their own tent and pitched it 100 yards from ours and we decided to do our own thing on site and get together on the beach.
Having pitched our tents settled down and had a civilized glass of wine in our own separate tents watching the sun go down, an obnoxious rude little man came round on noisy quad bike and said that we were a group and that we had to pack up and leave there and then. A family who we had helped put up their tent were as mystified as us as their group of 4 families with about 12 children were by far noisier and more alcoholic than we could ever have been. No amount of talking to the Scott’s farm team would budge them - we duly packed up at 8pm whilst it was getting dark and had to drive 2 hours back to London.

A site that does what it says on the tin, great alround enjoyment, quiet, great showers and toilet blocks, all you could ever need for that break away.
We both enjoyed our visit and would recommend it to all. They proudly state on a board outside of the site, NO CLUBHOUSE NO GROUPS, and that was the ethos of the site, quiet and calm.

We went to Scotts for Easter this year, and as it was our first trip out I was quite pleased with it (I cannot say how good it was as I've not much to compare it to). The main shower / toilet block was very good and I never noticed any queues (the OH had to wait for a little while for the family shower, as there is only 1 in each block) and that was with only half of it open.
They only opened the one field for Easter, hooks ups one side 150+ and none the other, all the hooks are 16amp which is good as we needed the heater on most of the time.
All the pitches seemed level and the ground looks like it should drain OK. There is a play area for the kids, I didn't get a good look, but it looks like it was more suited for 7+ ages.
You are pitched at least 20' from the unit behind in the hook up section and twice that from the unit in front due to the gravel road that runs up and down the feild. I can't tell you how close you are to next door as we didn't have anyone right next to us but it all seemed OK from looking at some others.
The site runs an Ice pack service where you pay a pound deposit to hire their icepacks and 30p each time you swop for frozen ones (you get your pound back at the end).
The village is covered in other reviews and as said it has all you would need.
All in all I'd go back without having to think about it, especially as you will probably have no problems getting in (more so if your easy going on where to pitch).

July 2003 to present
This is our 2nd season that we have visited. We like it so much that we have a 4 month seasonal hook/up pitch this year and visit every weekend and will be there for 2 weeks in August. Excellent shower/toilet and washing up blocks cleaned frequently in the day at busy times. Hot water all free. (The older blocks mentioned in earlier reviews have been replaced now.) All the staff are very helpful and friendly. For the nightly rate pitches do not have to be vacated until 5.00pm so there is no rush if camping at the weekend to leave first thing on Sunday.
At time of writing they are installing another 25 hook ups.
As mentioned above the village is a 10 min walk and boasts 2 butchers, 2 bakers, 2 greengrocers a Co-op, Tesco Express, Alldays, gift shops, chemist and many more. + 2 fish and chip shops, restaurants, English, Indian, Thai, a Chinese take-away.... and of course the sea is also about a 10 min walk away.

A great place for having fun!!!
So you're going away for some peace and calm. What better destination than Scotts Farm.
Hook up the caravan, pack up the tent. The management charges a reasonable rent.
Pull into reception you're met with a smile, not like some other sites they miss by a mile.
The showers they sparkle the toilets are clean. Even some mirrors to primp and to preen.
Shops are all nearby even a barber at hand. Of course there's the beach, real close lots of sand.
What I'm saying is if you want a rest. Come to Scotts Farm they really are the best!
David and Denise
