 I have been coming to Scotts Farm for over 5 years now. At last, there is soap in the toilet blocks, but still no sanitary waste bins. Also no recycling bins, all waste goes in huge bins, which is a shame. The playground is fab as ever and the kids loved it.
Many games of cricket in the fields and living close to Heathrow we quite enjoyed the odd Spitfire and Chinook flying overhead.
The local Indian restaurant (by the Sports Bar) is fab and highly recommended.
The staff were very polite and helpful.

We have just returned from our stay at Scotts and I have to say we had a fantastic time.
Since we were coming from London (on a Bank Holiday weekend) we phoned ahead to make sure there were still spaces available on the Saturday morning. Reception kindly informed us that there were still loads of non-electric tent sites, which there were when we arrived.
Being a Bank Holiday weekend there were of course lots of people although, since the site is huge, we had lots of space and it didn't feel crowded at all. That Scotts reception staff were also very professional and helpful when we checked in.
The fairly large playground was also a huge hit with the kids. As stated by other reviewers, the site is walking distance to the East Wittering village centre. This fact was dead handy when I realised that I had forgotten our gas cooker at home! (Pricebuster - £15). Also walking distance to the beach and good seafood restaurants.
Bathrooms were clean also really modern. (There is an electric fancy soap dispenser at the sinks now). The showers and the toilets were also very clean.
I can definitely recommend Scotts and we will definitely camp there again if we are in the area.

There has been many things said concerning Scotts Farm and much of them I concur with having stayed for two nights over last weekend. We had stayed the previous week in another campsite so this was fresh on our minds. The weather was challenging with the winds so flappety flap night!
The reception staff were courteous and helpful on arrival and pitch sizeable though wardens strict about fire which was absolutely fair enough as we had our pop up as a storage space (ok during day but not night). We pitched near the shower and toilet blocks. They were clean however, the lack of soap for washing hands is a real negative and I hope that the management reconsiders. Having been to two other campsites I really wonder what the issue might be as these are not provided. It is just a touch that would really go a long way for many and is baffling with norovirus etc.
Being near the shower block raised another issue. Whilst Scotts Farm has a big playground for up to 12 years. The teenage years (13+) seem problematic. Large congregations of young people looking for something to do in a lit area is inevitable. That said after 10pm the young people were really co-operative. I can understand no clubhouse but I think Scotts could do well with thinking how they can really cater for teenagers.
Scotts is no doubt a family friendly park and the attraction of the West Wittering and to a lesser extent East Wittering beaches is a huge bonus, with Chichester being a short drive away with the Cathedral, shopping and a large car boot in the market car park. Shops in East Wittering a bonus with Tesco Express and Co-op. Unfortunately, we had to pay to use a toilet for a 4 year old in E. Wittering in one of the pubs and that unfortunately lost them sizeable custom. Amazing in this day and age when those little things for children are key. The shop by the beach in East Wittering do great ice creams and great customer care and needed a mention.
I am not sure whether it would be first on my list for a future visit but offers a safe environment for families to have an initial camping experience. If Scotts can address the small things like the soap and space for teenagers then I think they would do even better to make it a total family experience.

Just got back from 5 nights at Scotts Farm. Myself and daughter in one tent and my cousin and two boys in another. We both had electric pitches, which was needed to run the much needed cool boxes as we had really hot weather. I really struggled with the fact we weren't allowed a gazebo. (we did know this before we went) I desperately wanted some shade for my daughter and myself, and didn't like the fact that we were out in the sun without being able to escape it during the sun's hottest/strongest part of the day. All the Electric pitches were in the middle of the fields and the only shady pitches ( non electric) were along the bottom of our field.
I thought £29 per night was a bit steep for nothing really at all. A big problem I had was there was no hand Soap in the toilets! I had read this before and went prepared by taking my own. Also no Sanitary bins! Everything seems to go into the general waste. Not sure how this complies with environmental health regulations? The toilets and dish washing areas were cleaned regularly, by what looked like jet washing instead of using good old elbow grease.
The boys loved the play park and made many friends, I accompanied my daughter as she's only 3. She also loved the area as there was plenty for her to do in there - slides - climbing frames and plenty of sand.
The site is a short walk to East Wittering which has a Tesco and Co-op with other smaller shops which you can buy almost anything you may need. There is also a pub on the way down to the stony beach. The shop on site is ridiculously expensive £1. 50 for a small dairy milk? Really?? They don't sell milk or bread in there.
The staff in reception were extremely helpful and courteous.
All in all we had a lovely time, but we would have had an equally good time at another campsite. We chose this site literally for the location, beaches and huge play area for the children.

Scott's Farm has masses of space and so I can see why you don't have to book. The camp site is very family friendly, has nice shower and toilet blocks which are cleaned regularly. The staff are friendly and seem to have the place well organised. This location is obviously perfect for the beaches at the Witterings. The local shops nearby in East Wittering come in very handy indeed.
My only small negative is the noise of air traffic night and day. There seems to be an air training academy nearby with helicopters and small planes buzzing around overhead most of the day. Also the camp site seems to sit right under a civilian air traffic path and the sound of low flying aircraft and loud engines can be quite annoying at 1am in the morning!

Spent a couple of enjoyable nights at Scotts Farm Camping Site.
The only thing that stood out as negative and as others have mentioned is no hand soap but everything else was great.
Very clean and welcoming.
Pitches are a good size with ample space. Bonus with a dof walking area.
Short walk to the beach and village shops / cash machines etc.
Will use again.

We couldn't really fault our stay here. Quick and easy to check in, clear instructions on where and how to pitch, toilet and shower block kept clean and tidy and site extremely well maintained. Brilliantly well located for a walk down to the beach (5 minutes), not far from W. Wittering beach (5 min drive)and close to E. Wittering for essential supplies, amazing fish and chips from The Boathouse (appearances can be deceiving)which were absolutely outstanding. Younger child (11) loved playground. Site is extremely secure due to number of caravans stored on site - CCTV on entrance (you can see the night vision glow in the evening) and we had guests who were hunted down and found and verified by number plate recognition within minutes! Good, basic family site. Wouldn't hesitate to return and don't be put off by the 'no bookings'. Can't imagine this place ever being full. It's huge.

Excellent place, nice location just a five minute walk from the beach (was great with rolling sand dunes and a great place to walk the dogs) and the nice little village with a few little shops and restaurants. Prices were reasonable, and the wifi was an added bonus.
Has an amazing big play area which the Kids adored. Nice staff directed us to some good places nearby.

Good site, pitches v generous & large tent area too. Large play area which has Sand over the floor - both positives and negatives to this, pluses are soft landing and kids play in sand, negatives are when it has rained the sand takes ages to dry and is freezing wet! Lots of playing fields and an amazing dog walking area.
This site is in walking distance to shops and cafés but the beach is pretty poor. West witterings is a few mins car ride away and well worth it.
Facilities good and clean - lovely weekend thanks v much!

Just returned from 4 nights at Scotts Farm.
Site is very large and if you're not looking for pretty but practical then you'll be ok.
Reception staff friendly and helpful.
Lots of showers and toilets, clean, plenty of hot water, no frills and NO HAND SOAP???
Plenty of room for kids to play and there's a younger kids play area (we had two 10yr olds) and they enjoyed that.
We found the site very noisy. The site seems to attract large parties of friends/families and I don't think reception are as strict on noise (late at night) as they are on how to pitch your tent.
Weather wasn't great while we were there but that as usual is just pot luck. The field didn't seem to be muddy like some sites I've been to before.
Nicest beach was West Wittering, sandy, had a great day. How ever you pay up to £8 at weekends to park, that said there's toilets, cafe and masses of field area to play in should you come off the beach.
Local shops very handy, Tesco, Co-op, banks, chemist etc and a great cafe for an all day breakfast before heading home.
Don't think it's our type of site but as we had left it last minute to go then the fact you don't have to book is an advantage.

Great place, particularly for the kids. Got a giant, sandy play area with giant climbing frames and slides, which are safe and great for my kids, between, ages 1 and 10, to have fun in. Just a 5 minute walk to West Wittering beach as well, and also 5 minute walk to the local shops. There was six of us, myself, my wife, and 4 kids, we arrived friday night, and didn't have to leave until 5pm on sunday, so the last day was not rushed. At £25 a night, for 8 man tent, the price was very reasonable. Always clean and friendly, definitely recommend it, particularly if you have kids!

We spent 3 nights in the most gorgeous hot weather. This is a lovely site and not the first time we have stayed here. The lads in reception are always friendly and helpful. They tour the site regularly which is nice.
It is a huge site with many fields and even at its busiest (we were there at the start of the school holidays!) it never seems crowded.
Beaches are within walking distance so is the village which has 2 small supermarkets and lots of smaller independent shops. It is a lovely walk first thing in the morning to get fresh bread and a paper, then walk onto a campsite smelling of bacon being cooked! That is what camping is all about!
There are plenty of toilet and showers, we never had to queue. They are kept very clean, despite some of the more inconsiderate campers.
Like a previous reviewer I would agree that soap in the toilets and extra hooks in the showers would make this site perfect.
Lovely lovely site and will definitely visit again.

Just had a lovely weekend here. First time at the site and was impressed with the space and facilities considering that it is a very large site. Ideally placed for the beautiful beaches at The Witterings, this is a site we will be returning to. Toilet blocks were always clean, they could do with another hand-dryer in each toilet block and also some soap dispensers. The showers are good, again, the addition of an extra hook on each door or a shelf to put bits and pieces would be a nice addition. However, there was always hot water. The only negative aspect this weekend was some inconsiderate families who don't seem to be able to keep the noise down before 8am in the morning! It was not nice being woken up to the sounds of an electric pump at 0715!(Nor temper tantrums at 0600 which lasted half an hour. These were minor points and I do appreciate that sometimes these things can't be helped. There is plenty to do in the area, with some lovely walks through the countryside. Chichester Canal, which goes all the way from the marina to Chichester is a lovely walk to undertake (or just go half way to Dunston and visit the Spotted Cow!) Overall the site is very good, well placed and the local village has some very well stocked shops.

PLEASE BEAWARE - I've given this site a very positive review earlier this year and I stand by all I said then except. This time we took a small pop-up 2 man tent for my 13 yr old to sleep in for one night rather than the large awning which we normally use for 2+ nights. Scott's charge for this as a full unit ie £25/night!
So, last time we paid £3/night for a 6m x 4m awning, but this time £25 for a 2m x 1m tent!
Ridiculous.
Customer Services - Non-negotiable.
Child friendliness - none if you have a pop up tent!
I've seen others say Scott's is expensive and this certainly makes it so.

This site is all about the location. It's nice not to keep driving as you can walk into East Wittering which has everything you need for a seaside camping holiday - 2 butchers, 2 greengrocers, 2 bakers, pubs, a great family restaurant, a great bistro, lots of interesting shops etc etc and only a short drive (or pleasant walk along the coast to the stunning West Wittering beach. We were slightly put off by some of the reviews of this site but don't be. It is a big site but that means you are virtually guaranteed a choice of pitch if you don't mind a walk to the toilet blocks. These are very clean although lacking in sensible things like shelves, hooks, soap etc but you soon get used to it. The site is quite open so do take a windbreak. Lots of great places in the surrounding area so we will definitely return.
