 Love this site. We don't stay on club sites anymore except this one. The wardens are the best nothing is too much trouble, they are happy, friendly and helpful. The site although busy is quiet and calm. It has one of the best situations right next to a wonderful dog friendly shingle beach, which is clean, quiet and perfect for swimming. Train and buses are near and easy to get to to Eastbourne and Hastings. Lots of lovely walking opportunities, we have a dog so all these are important for us. Had a wonderful stay. PS it is a bit windy there so make sure you bring extra pegs and guy ropes!

Norman's bay is approached via a narrow private road through a run down strip of poor quality housing with a slightly creepy atmosphere, a bit like Dungeness, so it's quite a relief to find a well kept campsite at journey's end. We booked in, got a code for the barrier and were shown to our pitch: 'Anywhere on this bit. You need to be 20 feet from the next unit. EHU's over there. You're nice and close to the loos. ' I thought we would be troubled by passing traffic as we were all but blocking the access to our area, but either nobody moved much or they were coming and going some other way. It was a good pitch.
It's very flat and rather exposed, with many caravans and motorhomes packed in. The ground is good and resembles a well mown field rather than a manicured lawn. The facilities are excellent - bright, clean, warm and user friendly. The showers are push button, but you get a good half minute per press. I'm new to C&CC sites so maybe that's normal. There's an older block down by the caravan storage area which was also more than satisfactory. The pot wash is under cover and features press taps which run for 10 - 15 seconds per press - very handy for rinsing. All the facilities shut between 11am and noon for cleaning, coinciding irritatingly with chucking off site time on your last day. Waste and recycling is in big, stinky hoppers over by the site entrance and a bit of a schlep: convenient for the management rather than the campers.
There's a small, unremarkable play area at the top of the site and a 'recreation room' at the other end with a pool table (£1 a game) and a table tennis table. You can purchase awful bat and ball sets for a fiver at the site shop. We had the room to ourselves and had quite a blast for half an hour.
The local area has an interesting history and is full of things to see and do. The beach is usable if a bit bleak, but very conveniently right over the road. All the supermarkets can be found in Eastbourne, but the gigantic Asda is probably the most convenient.

What a lovely surprise arriving at Normans bay.
We arrived at 1 O'Clock so it was busy, no problem for them. We were taken to our pitch and guided in.
We were near the toilet facilities but not too close, as you could hear the hand driers.
Reception staff were friendly and great with your needs, the shop was well stocked.
Quite a large campsite and seemed full but didn't notice a lot of people.
Trains go by the site all day and evening but they are not intrusive.
Just across the road you have the pebble beach, great for us as we have a kayak so didn't have to carry it far.
There are two very close train stops, we took a train to Hastings, cheaper than we thought a good service.
We were very lucky with the weather 30 degrees every day. In the evenings we had bbq's on the beach.
The Aqua bar on the beach is a 20 minute walk. They allow dogs and have entertainment every night. We didn't eat there but the food looked good.
There was another pub toward Bexhill a short walk along the road, left out of the campsite. 'The star' very much catered to feeding you. It is a really old pub but we felt it had lost its character.
We loved our stay and would go again if we were going East again.
Be warned! If you use a sat nav it tries to take you down a road not suitable for caravans, this is on the first roundabout as you enter Pevensey.
When you get to Pevensey Bay the road that takes you to the campsite is full of pot holes and blind sleeping policemen, go really slow.

Visited Normans Bay over the weekend of 12th. 13th and 14th of August to coincide with the Eastbourne Airshow, so site was pretty much full but never seemed busy.
Staff were ever helpful, first pitch was too bumpy, 2nd pitch to soft/small, third choice just right. Despite advising a unit size of 8m x 5m they didn't seem to hold this information.
Facilities were never busy despite the capacity, they were however below the standard expected for the price ratio compared with the other sites we used this year, adequate but under whelming, a little dated and in need of a deep clean.
Used the reception shop for a few bits and bobs prices were fair and the choice varied.
6m rule was not adhered to and vehicular access between units was unregulated and at times bordering on dangerous - although this has more to do with customers than providers.
Overall a pleasant stay, and despite the lack-lustre facilities would visit again maybe next year for the airshow again. The weather did help with wall-to-wall sunshine for 3 days with a cooling breeze.

A nice little site that is more than adequate for a decent holiday or short break without really excelling.
The wardens were friendly enough and there is a small well stocked shop and the toilets are kept clean and were numerous enough for the size of the site.
Pitches were a bit small and somewhat undefined and it appeared that everyone was just short of shoved in haphazardly.
The immediate local area is nice enough and great having the sea so close by, a little jaded around the edges in parts, but that gives it a certain charm. Further afield the countryside is very pleasant and plenty of places to visit.
Main downside was that being on the edge of the site a rather cold wind whipped across the marsh towards us, meaning we were never really able to sit out and enjoy the sun.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in our tent whilst we were waiting for our new van. We pulled in around the club directed check-in time of 1pm and were in a fairly long queue of other arrivals parked around the car park. Once through check-in we were directed to our pitch with our friend next to us; they did seem a little more fussy than usual telling him which round to park his van. This could be due to the pitches themselves not being very well marked out.
Being in the tent, we did notice the constant sea breeze that at times, whips across the site quite strongly. This was a bit of a downside as it also didn’t really allow us to sit out and enjoy the nice weather and it also cooled the temperature by a couple of degrees.
The facilities were clean enough and we never had to queue to use them, despite the site being very busy.
The direct area around the site itself is a little run down, but the easy access to the beach and nearby Pevensey Castle was good.
A nice enough site, but not one I'd be rushing back to.

We had a lovely 5days at Normans bay despite the unseasonal cold weather, plenty of long dog walks along the deep shingle beach, the site is open to the elements with little shelter from the wind.
Wardens helpful and friendly, however steadfast with the clubs 1p. M book in rule, new shower block open, no heating on during our stay.
Some provisions in the reception area, small newsagents and shop 15 minutes walk west into the village, no footpath.
Ideal site for families as the beach is right across the road, unlikely to return due to location.

One of the best camping and caravan sites we have stayed on.
Lovely friendly & quick check in and shown to our pitch which we got to choose from a couple offered to us by Mick, there was no 'left a bit right a bit' which we have had to endure on a few other camping and caravan sites!
Toilets and showers spotless and warm.
Recycling bins on site.
Motorhome service area.
TV signal good no wifi though.
Excellent dog walking area just across the road on the beach.
No nearby pub and a good 20min walk into the local village which has an excellent fish and chip shop.
Storm Katie was an experience! We needed to be towed off our pitch by Mick due to the excessive downpour and higher than normal spring tides, which he did with no fuss and bother. Once again many thanks Mick, see you in the summer.

Booked in for Eastbourne air show. Due to late booking had to book two separate pitches. Arrived a little late and the wardens put us on a pitch with electricity so we didn't have to move. Brilliant. Site has been updated since we last visited 2009.
Beach is a 5 min walk and shallow water was quite warm at 9 at night when our girls were splodging!
We would definitely return. Will book air show weekend earlier next year.

The weather was superb which always helps. We have been to this site previously (5 years ago) and found that it was just as brilliant location wise but somewhat more relaxing and peaceful. Considering it was almost full there was no unnecessary noise. Facilities were very good, thought the laundry was a little expensive. Staff were excellent - especially at the end of our holiday when we found we had no lights at all after hooking up the van to leave (we were travelling back overnight). They were very helpful in providing phone numbers for the mobile caravan call out company - even thought the office was closed at the time. And they kept on popping along to see how we were faring.
Will definitely go again. Recommended to all.

We have stayed here many times and were delighted to find that they have finally done up the old shower/toilet block, which is a vast improvement. We did not find the showers that warm though. Our stay was very pleasant. We found the staff friendly and helpful. The beach was great at low tide and the underwater obstacles were not as bad as previous years. Some dog owners are not very good at cleaning up their mess near the entrance to the beach. There are a lot more motorhomes and caravans than there used to be here, but it has made the site a lot quieter than we have found it recently. Generally site was clean and tidy and well situated for exploring the coast. We will go back.

Enjoyed a week of glorious sunshine here at the end of June, we were there during the heat wave so it got really hot at times! Having never visited this part of the coast before (we always go west to Dorset/Devon/Cornwall) we thought we'd have a change. We had mixed feelings about the site itself, the road leading up to the site is a bit unusual and has a feeling of 'past it's best' with an assortment of old holiday flats/bungalows and a kiosk(very expensive for an ice cream!)it was quaint though. Upon arrival I was greeted by a member of staff who knew who I was before I said a word (guess they checked out number plate) so that was a nice surprise, staff in reception were very outgoing and we were shown to our pitch.
Facilities were good as you expect from a C & C club site, but once again we felt really hemmed in when another unit was put next door to us on day two and was so close when we sat outside our awning we could practically touch their car. Sadly this has happened to us at a few Camping and Caravanning club sites now (don't think the 6m rule applies anymore?) It's such a shame but I guess they are trying to make the most money out of every square inch. (That combined with a few other factors has made us decide we will probably not renew our membership but that's another story. )
Other than that we loved seeing the little birds feeding their babies in the hedge behind our pitch, it was nice to walk over to the shingle beach now and again, though we didn't see any sand and it was a sharp ledge down on to the beach. We had fish and chips in Roses fish bar in Pevensey one night and have to say they were not that nice. Went to Eastbourne which was ok, loved the old TJ HUGHES store, which brought back memories of a department store I worked in when I was a teenager!
We found Hastings had some nice shops but was a bit 'seedy' and run down in parts, we saw winos and tramps hanging around the beach etc and the public loos. Rye was not what we expected, think we must have missed the harbour and shops? so we carried on in to Kent which was lovely, and I was delighted to go and see the area where Darling Buds Of May was filmed (sadly I couldn't get down to the farmhouse as it's private - will have to book and come back to Kent!). Our favourite area was Battle, gorgeous little atmospheric town with some interesting shops leading up to the imposing Battle Abbey and battle field which we spent a lovely afternoon taking in the history and exploring the battle field etc - had a lovely ploughmans lunch in the café there too(my husband had so much cheese he couldn't eat it all and he LOVES cheese!).
We also found some of the areas here quite built up in places and had to sit in traffic jams a few times. For us it was an ok holiday but not wonderful, glad we tried it but to be honest won't be racing back there in a hurry.

We stayed on this site for 1 night only meeting friends already staying on the site. The location was great just across the road was the beach which we were able to take our French bulldog onto which he loved. The facilities were very clean and not busy which was nice, a small shop on site which sold camping and amenities items. Friendly staff and we found the site quiet. The pitches were not marked up and were shown to our pitch but we were placed at the end of the site which was lovely. Would definitely be visiting again in the near future.

We quite liked this site - nicely positioned on a private road with it's own pebble beach (sand at low tide) and we saw some visitors fishing off the beach.
Reasonable pub (The Star Inn) within 1/2 hours walk and small shop in Pevensey Bay. We were pitched looking out over the reed beds - which cleverly hid a low level dog walk. Beyond the reed beds was the railway line and a regular service (between 5am to 11pm) running close by but not really an annoyance for us.
We cycled to another very good pub at Wartling about 5 miles from site which served excellent food called The Lamb Inn.
Facilities on site all very good - new washrooms and showers including free hairdryers.
Although one of the larger CC&C sites it was quiet (maybe because we were not in school holiday season) and quite roomy.
We would certainly visit this site again.

Lovely campsite which we have stayed at many times. Located almost on the beach with nice size pitches. Amenities include laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and iron. Shower block facilities include a hairdryer. Small shop on site and Asda a five minute drive away. Staff are friendly and helpful and had no problem with them at all.
Would not recommend a pitch near the top shower block though as due to illiterate parents and children, this is a magnet for kids riding bikes around the shower block, one of which crashed into me as I left the block and kids kicking a football at the side of the shower block, one night up until 10pm. Site states quite clearly no ball games on site or riding bikes around shower blocks but obviously some parents have problems with reading simple rules. My partner actually told a group of children to stop playing in the shower block and was rewarded with a mouthful from the rather aggressive mother of one of them. I am sure they would be the first to complain when a football smashes into the side of their caravan !
Apart from this the site is peaceful and tranquil, just a shame some of the clientele don't have any camping etiquette
