 Why are there no sites near Brighton? We chose this one for its frequent train service (12 coach train every 20 minutes - in the north we get four coaches every hour if we're lucky).

Facilities good and clean, showers included, paid for elec to charge the bikes.

 Wonderfully clean, friendly family site.

It's kept very neat and tidy. Wash block kept very clean.

Pitches are very spacious and there is also a large grassed area with a climbing frame in the middle of the site.

Ideal location for Brighton and the Sussex coast and countryside

 Lovely, well maintained site.

Good facilities- especially hot showers. Great that all charitable.

We had a quiet spot on the main field with plenty of space and privacy.

Did have road traffic noise.

 First time for us here. Initial impressions are of a well kept, clean and tidy campsite.

The pitches are large, flat and marked out by grass that has been allowed to grow making for a soft boundary which is much better than hedges or bushes which are around the perimeter of the field.

In the centre is a small wooden climbing frame, slide and a couple of swings for children. We went for a pitch with EHU but be warned, you will need an extra long extension cable to ensure that you can get plugged in as we thought the electric points were quite spaced out compared with other sites we've been to.

The toilet block and showers were always clean and the showers are hot and powerful. You will need 20p if you wish to access a hairdryer.

There are 3 washing up sinks to he rear of the toilet/shower block sheltered under a large porch.

The site itself is quiet but dependent on the wind, you can hear the traffic from the A273 but its not too intrusive. There are lovely views of the South Downs and you can clearly see the Jack and Jill windmill.

We stayed on probably the hottest weekend of the year so far and here is little shade on the site. We visited Hassocks which is a 5 minute drive to find there are 2 fish & chip shops and a large Budgens for grocery shopping.

We will definitely come again for another couple of nights!

 Great position at the foot of the Downs.

Lovely site with large pitches divided by unmown grass. Such a good idea.

Lots of birds around and nice meadow area.

Shower blocks were clean but no horizontal surface in a dry area. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Would definitely recommend.

 Loved this place. Really friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and perfect length cut comfy grass!

The site is very well maintained, and you are allowed bbq and campfires (raised off the floor).

Also the village is around a 20 minute walk where you have pubs and shops, and also a train station with easy access into Brighton, little Hampton and other places.

Would definitely stay at this place again! Thankyou :)

Reviewer: Adomas 1 review from this member

 Me and a friend stayed here, each bringing our two children, all under 10.

This is a good campsite with great facilities. Toilet/ shower blocks are nice and warm, with underfloor heating and always lots of hot water. Same for the outside washing up basins. This is very useful for camping, especially when it was quite cold and damp.

The children's playground is basic, but entertained our children between going walking and getting food ready.

Good location near the train station at Hassocks (about 15/20minute walk). Just note the last 100 metres or so is on the road, so be careful at night.

Ideal location for walking up to the South Downs Way, which we did.

Reviewer: Amha79 1 review from this member

 Two things struck me about this campsite: the kindness and support of the lady owner in ensuring I had all I needed and secondly the site itself was so well maintained and provisioned.

The showers were lovely, clean, warm and the water hot. I so appreciated the microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster provided in the laundry room.

It's a great location both rural but also close to towns.

I can't recommend this site highly enough! Am returning again later in year.

 A lovely campsite, well maintained with good, clean facilities.

My only disappointment, which wasn’t their fault, was the busy road into the village to the side of the site.

Reviewer: Christ 1 review from this member

 Very peaceful site although we weren't on the main field.

Facilities were good and the staff very friendly and extremely helpful finding a decent pitch for us.

It's about a mile to Hassocks for shops, chippie, railway station and pub but parking was impossible with a Transit van except for the pub.

The recommendation is to walk to Hassocks for the train or bus.

Reviewer: Speechie99 2 reviews from this member

 We loved this campsite and its flat, high quality pitches.

We especially liked the washing and shower facilities, these were kept clean and well maintained throughout our stay.

The campsite itself is a 10 minute walk from Hassocks which is a 15 minute train journey to Brighton-perfect!

Special shout out to Cat who checked us in and amped us up for the Pride weekend.

Reviewer: Benrosvall89 3 reviews from this member

 I stayed here with my 2 kids at the beginning of August ( monday-wednesday). Drop of the hat kind of thing, had a few days off with the kids, lets go camping! had a look on here and came across this site.

Not far from where I live ( 1 hr drive) so packed up and set off. When we got to the site, it looked very pleasant and clean. I was made welcome in the reception and shown to our pitch.

The field we were in was clean, a little park in the middle and pretty decent sized pitches! the facilities were nice and clean, shower pressure. Amazing! there's no shop but the reception office had some bits to get you by.

The site was very quiet and for a summer holidays, not very busy. There's really not a lot to do on the site but we went for a peaceful trip so this served us well.

Brighton was a 15 minute drive away and there were other attractions close by. The main road carried a bit of noise nearby but this was blanked out by us, it does quieten down after rush hour.

Overall we enjoyed our trip. As a last minute decision to go, id think about doing back again but I feel the kids would get bored going back.

 Lovely clean site with good sized pitches.

The toilet and shower facilities were very clean and with plenty of hot water.

Our plot was at the edge of a big field that had some children's play equipment in the middle which was really nice for the young kids to socialise.

Would definitely stay there again.

 Lovely site with varied pitches and great views.

Friendly and helpful staff. I arranged to come in “late” after a wedding on Saturday night which worked out well.

Facilities including fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle were available if you needed them.

Pity I couldn’t stay longer.
