Date of Visit: August 2021  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 10 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Larry4 1 review from this member

 I have been going to Scott’s Farm for about 8 years and I believe that it is going downhill. The electric pitches are very muddy and have very little grass and very few of them are level, with dips which become flooded when it rains.

They charge £37 per night in August and for this money I would expect to get a Fully serviced pitch, which they don’t have. Very overpriced.

They have two chemical waste disposal areas and the one on the left is quite often blocked. The shower block is ok.

I stayed for 10 nights and at about 18:00 hrs on our last night, we were asked by a member of staff to move our caravan over by about a metre so it was directly in the middle of the post.

When I arrived, it was the only spot available between a very large tent with a car at the side, and a motor home on the other side.

I had been in that same spot for 9 nights and this was not mentioned before even though staff come round at about the same time every night.

I refused to move it because I had an awning that was pegged down and this would have been too time consuming ( and hard work) on our last night. Because it was our last night, they allowed us to stay where we were.

I will not be coming back to this overpriced, overcrowded site with their pettiness.

 Well located just a short walk to East Wittering beach and a short drive to fabulous West Wittering. The local village shops are nearby and have everything you need.

We stayed for 4 nights camping at the top of field A which seemed quieter than fields B and D. Lots of space, flat and easy to pitch with short hedging around the outside (so not a great deal of shade). The lower two-thirds of field A seem to be resident caravan pitches, many of which are lit up with huge light sticks through the evening. We would have preferred no flashing lights and sat behind our windbreak in the evening to avoid looking at them.

The facilities are good, the shower and toilet blocks are regularly cleaned and the showers work really well. It might get busy during peak season but we didn’t have to queue at all during our visit in mid-July. It was a short walk for us to the toilet blocks but the water fills are closer and there’s even an air pump if you need it.

It seems great for dogs with a dog walking field (we didn’t use). Sadly, the playground was closed. It looked great but seemed to be under renovation with no indication of when it would open again. Similarly, the beach trolly park was always empty. Still, plenty of space for the kids to fly a kite and run around and an enjoyable visit for us all.

 Great location, can walk to the beach and town where there were a good selection of shops and buses stop right outside campsite.

Pitches are in lines with no greenery in between and ehu only, you have to collect and fill your water manually. Toilets and showers all open.

Can not book you have to turn up and hope for a pitch. We have never seen so many caravans and awnings put on site for the season and all lit up like Blackpool illuminations with lights up the flagpoles and around vans. Got very busy at the weekend.

OAP rates for midweek but full price weekends. Didn’t see anyone regarding customer service after we had checked in. A visitor to us was charged £3 to bring his car on site.

 Enjoyed our stay. Staff very helpful and friendly.

On reopening the showers, toilets and other facilities everything was spotless and kept that way.

Not sure we would stay during school holidays as it looks as though it would get very busy. Talking to other people on site they all seemed to have been before, with children and told us their children loved it there.

We were dropped off after dark one night to our motorhome home by relatives. As we got out of the car someone turned up to see what we were doing. Impressive security.

Would certainly return.

Reviewer: Alis Gang 4 reviews from this member

 We phoned site before we left home to check they had EHU availability. We arrived at 2pm.

Very friendly guy gave us site map and told us we could pitch wherever we liked and we paid our pitch fee.

Lovely, clean toilet/shower block with plenty of both. Nice hot push button showers with two hooks on door. Wash Room had 9 x sinks/drainers, 2x washing machines and a dryer, again very clean. 2 x CDP/Grey water dump.

Our only gripe is that we had to lift our Waste master and toilet cassette to empty. Without help an elderly person would struggle.

Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Solo traveller
Reviewer: VWBus 85 reviews from this member

 I was very impressed with this site - it's not the normal sort of place I stay as I prefer basic sites, but it was excellent.

Covid 19 precautions extremely evident and well adhered to - hand sanitiser everywhere, masks in indoor spaces etc.

I wanted a non hookup and was pitched in the top field next to the EHU pitches (with rows and rows of caravans) but the field was very pleasant with plenty of space. I stayed midweek and most of the fields were closed, but they seemed to be opening them for the weekend which gives you lots of choice to find your perfect pitch.

Cost was £22 a night, for one adult, in a campervan with dog.

Facilities are excellent, and plentiful and they've thought of nearly everything. Showers and loos very clean and modern. There's a doggy shower and even an airbed blow up point!

There's a large dog walking field, with also has direct access onto public footpaths in various directions - excellent!

It's about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the main village centre and the beach. Plenty of shops and eateries in the village and a pleasant pub near the beach (but not overlooking it) If you make the walk to the beach then you can carry on for miles in either direction with East Head / West Witterings a few miles walk away.

Overall a very pleasant stay and I would probably return if in the area.

Reviewer: Ratty 332 reviews from this member

 We enquiried and were advised two pitches were available and to just turn up. Upon arrival we checked in and paid our £22 each for a VW camper, one adult and one dog. They provided a site map and directed us to the non electric field.

The field was a good size, flat and easy to pitch. Half teh site was shut, maybe due to the time of the year and this resulted in the electric pitches being very busy. These are very regimented but with enough space for your unit, awning, car etc. Not for me though so I would always opt for the non electric field.

There was one toilet block open and this housed around 8 showers and toilets, a large urinal and plenty of sinks (in the mens). It was spotless and all felt very safe.

Loads of waste bins, fresh water points, chem disposal and even an area where you can plug in and pump up your airbed! They have a doggy shower, which is a great idea after a day on the beach and they also have a large pot wash and laundry area.

There is a large playground for the littluns, which looked awesome and there is so much space for running around too. There is a dedicated dog walking field, but I did not use this as walked off site. Just be aware that a few of the seasonal pitch holders did not feel the need to keep their dogs on a lead and let them wander and this caused frustration to our dogs.

The village centre is about a 10 minute walk from the site and had a couple of pubs, Tescos, restaurants, gifts shops, etc. We had a few drinks at The Shore Inn, however we were too late for food.

The beach is another 5 minutes from the village centre and whilst it was busy near the entrance, once you walk along for a bit it became quite deserted, maybe too far for some people to walk, but ideal for me who likes space and peace.

We walked teh beach all the way to East Head which was lovely. Plenty of places to swim, kayaks, windsurf, etc, along the way.

Even at £22 a night, which is more that I would normally pay, this is a great site and I would probably return if in the area due to the location of the village and beach.

Date of Visit: April 2018 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: T5 tourist 7 reviews from this member

 This was our second one night stay here. Both times have been on a Saturday off peak, ie not school holidays. It is a large site set over four or five fields.

Well maintained and good facilities, not that we use the facilities much, a are self contained. We like the site because of its close proximity to the beach and east wittering village, which has plenty of coffee stops and restaurants.

The beach is a short walk, 5 to 10 mins max. Great beach for surfing and kitesurfing. Lovely beach walks, some restrictions for dogs.

The site has a large dog walking field. I would imagine that on warmer weekends or school hols it could be quite manic on site.

Reviewer: Dayzone 4 reviews from this member

 This is a large site with not a lot of character. The reception staff were very friendly. You cannot book a pitch and on arrival you are told to find your own.

We went in March and it had been raining quite a lot, consequently a lot of the pitches were waterlogged. They did say they would tow you out if you got stuck which they duly did you someone else.

The most annoying thing however was that the shower blocks had no heating. As it was very cold at this time it rendered the showers unusable. Very disappointing.

Reviewer: Steve_UK 7 reviews from this member

 I stayed at this site for one night in my motorhome and, as it was just into school term-time, it was very quiet. A few days previously, storm Aileen had battered the area with very high winds, and a few of the caravans which were on seasonal pitches had awnings torn away.

The welcome at reception was very friendly, with lots of local information and maps being heaped upon me. They do not assign you a pitch, so I drove around the site and picked one of the many vacant ones. This wasn't an issue for me as it was very quiet, but I would prefer an allocated pitch, especially in a busier period.

This is one of the few ACSI sites in the UK, and so I was able to have my pitch, with electricity included) for £15 which was a saving of about £5 I believe.

Although I didn't use the facilities (relying on my on-board bathroom), the whole place was very well kept and I would imagine the same applied to the showers etc. I was impressed to see the dog-shower and, something I'd never seen before on a site, an air-bed inflation point!

The site is only a few minutes walk from the beach, although with the tail-end of Aileen still buffeting quite strongly, I soon turned back to the sanctuary of the motorhome! You do have to cross the road outside the site entrance though, so youngsters really should be accompanied.

I would certainly not hesitate to recommend this site out of peak season, but have not experienced it when busy. I could imagine there would be a lot of families as the site is quite geared up for that market, so if the sound of kids having fun is not to your taste perhaps I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

I noticed a neat row of sturdy hand-pulled trolleys which are available to cart your things to the beach if required, although I do not know whether they are free, or if there's a deposit to pay. There is free wi-fi which seems to have good coverage over the site, and although it was fast enough for my use, I didn't try streaming video or anything. Of course, in high season there could well be a high demand and that's when you tend to find service such as this starts to struggle.
