 This site is about as close to the beach as you can get - although you can't actually see the sea from your pitch, you are situated just the other side of the sea wall so 1 minute walk!

Smallish site, about 30 drive-on pitches, two tent fields and maybe 40 permanent caravans, not many of which seemed occupied on our Monday/ Tuesday/ Wednesday stay.

The beach is nice, stony, clear waters and very quiet. The Sailing Club right next door to the site has outside seating right on the beach for drinks/lunch and welcomes non-members.

Walking along the beach to TideMills or Newhaven is pleasant, and the walk over Seaford Head is fantastic - there is also an interesting walk which follows views featured in the work of local pre-war artist Eric Slater.

We prefer the non-hook up pitches, which are protected by a hedge and on grass - the hook-ups have a hard(gravelly) standing next to a piece of grass. A club bar, not much used when we've stayed, but no shop on site or particularly close to walk to for supplies, so go prepared!

Showers and loos clean and in good order, and again quiet on our visit. No wifi.

This was our second stay, and we'll go again for the proximity to the sea and peaceful local area.

Great location, right on the beach 


Date of Visit: June 2023  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Davfromwigan 4 reviews from this member

 In 25 years of caravanning this was by far the worst site we have ever stayed on. We only used it because of its proximity to the newhaven ferry.

The actual touring pitches are dreadful. Mainly a seasonal pitch site but they have touring pitches on the edge. Bare grass part shingle.

We arrived friday afternoon off the ferry and set up for the night. Just as we where going to bed, a motorhome turned up on the next pitch (10:45 pm) family with two barking dogs, no attempt to be quiet. They stayed out till after midnight drinking and generally making a noise. The site rules we where given said no noise or movement after 10 pm. Ha, ha.

Saturday morning we arose to one of occupants of said motorhome lying on our pitch drinking beer. The dogs were running loose around the site with no supervision. Difficult to say how many people were staying on the pitch but very noisy and surrounded our caravan. We felt quite intimidated because one of the men had an axe and waved it at my husband although this was probably meant in fun it was hard to distinguish because they did not seem to speak much english. They did not seem to understand how to behave. Kids running round our van etc.

When I went to hand barrier fob in the receptionist said oh youre going tomorrow I said no we are going today. Fully expecting her to ask me why. But no. Totally unconcerned. Well I think that says it all. Avoid this site at all costs.

Reviewer: Rob Burton 38 reviews from this member

 Getting straight to the point. This sight has an incredible location if you need the ferry. Just a few minutes away.


We feel this would be the only reason for paying £30 for what was a rather tired site with fairly tight pitches. We weren’t allowed a barrier key because we were leaving at 8. 30 the next morning. (Hardly the crack of dawn).

This meant we would have to phone the warden to get back in from an evening trip. Not the end of the world but a bit tedious.

I am a little surprised at some of the reviews and personally agree with those who feel location is the only plus point!

However If you need the ferry, it’s a big plus.

 Easy access to the campsite, just off the main road. Lovely location next to the sea with lovely views up and down the coast to the Seven Sisters and Newhaven.

We only stayed for one night to catch the ferry to Dieppe. We were able to explore the lovely town of Seaford

The facilities are a bit dated but served us well, there are a lot of seasonal caravans on the site. We would stay there again

 We were pleasantly greeted by Billy, shown directions to our "spac"

The site is nicely located by the beach, cafe caravan, pizza van on some evenings,

The shower area, a toilet were clean though a little tired.

All in all a pleasant stay,

Close enough to walk to Seaford town etc.

 This was our fourth stay at this site and was as enjoyable as the others.

No bells & whistles but the location is fantastic,

Shower block clean and great showers.

Easy walk into Seaford, which is a nice town. Seconds from the beach.

Will certainly be back.

Reviewer: Cas3517 4 reviews from this member

 The location is great; right next to the beach with easy access. No sea view due to flood defences! Long promenade to walk to the town which has several pubs/eateries and shops including Morrissons and a Co-op.

The site itself is either work in progress or just relying on great location to make you return as it is very basic;not a pretty site where you would sit and relax.

The shower/toilet block was cold, water pressure low and although shower areas were quite spacious didn't use as too cold!

There is a large grass area attached to site which is designated for tents but was empty so good place to let the dogs off lead.

The Galley which is part of the neighbouring boat club, open to non members serves food and drink eat in or takeaway reasonably priced and good. There is also caravan serving food and drink by site and beach but this was closed as early season.

The local train is a short walk from the site and goes to Brighton £5. 50 return and good way to see the countryside. Dogs allowed on trains.

If you just need a base close to amenities with nice walks and close proximity to the beach, shingle, then this one will do the job.

We only met the owner on arrival so difficult to rate customer service

We had electric hook up and the pitch was gravel some grass pitches available not sure if these were electric hook up. There were no play areas for children but the shingly beach is on the doorstep.

I do feel in comparison to other sites that the £30 per night low season was quite high due to lack of facilities on site, and the dated shower block.

Overall we felt or hoped like it was work in progress and more would be done to make it more attractive so sitting outside with a good book would be an option! again with the beach right there.

 Hi,

I am a solo traveller with a motorhome. Visited the camp site mid october. Had a couple of really stormy nights but the site is a bit sheltered from the wind so managed to get through the night.

The owners were very accommodating and allowed me to extend one night at the last minute and also check out a little later as we waited for the winds to calm.

The facilities are clean. Great location for visiting the small town of seaford and a lovely beach walk.
