 This was our fist visit to this site although the staff were very friendly and helpful a lot has to be said about the site itself.
My husband and I booked for 5 nights @ £25 P. N which I consider a bit steep as the facilities weren't that great, the toilet/shower block was in much need of some TLC the cubicles for them were much too small, and not very clean.
The site looked very untidy.
The electric hook-up was the worst we have experienced at only 6amp.
The road/path were full of potholes very uneven underfoot.
It was unclear of where to fill the drinking water up as the signs were faded and difficult to read.
The only bonus about this site is its location and ease of access to the beach.
We will not be returning to this site.

A nice little site when you can get on it as the owners seem more focused on long term/seasonal pitches rather than tourers. Very close to the sea hence is prone to strong sea breezes and the prevailing wind. Lovely walks close by along the promenade/track to Newhaven, past the ruins of the Old Tide Mills. Huge field area for tents which seems wasted and perhaps better use for it would be the provision of more hookups for tourers. The showers are fairly clean but in need of refurbishment. Only one of the 3 showers had hot water. Only one water point and one refuse disposal on site means a long walk if you are on the perimeter of the site. Seaford town is an easy 30 minute walk and local convenience shops are even nearer. (No shop on site). Pitches are fairly flat but don't forget your rock pegs for your awning or tents as shingle is not far below the surface of the pitch. If they refurbished the run down showers and toilet block this site would be tops. We would still go back despite the shortcomings.

We called this camp site at VERY short notice (30 minutes) upon returning from a month in France in our motor home as we fancied a short break on the south coast before returning home up North. Fortunately someone had cancelled and they said they could squeeze us in. How lucky were we!
If you want a fancy, all bells, all whistles site with a pool and a sauna and. You know the sort then go somewhere else.
However - if you want a VERY relaxed well laid out site that is right on a massive beach for a bargain price get yourself to the Buckle Camp site.
Here are the cons -
1. No pool. (Didn't bother us and for what they charge I didn't expect one)
Seriously - that's it for the cons.
Here are the pros -
1. We were charged 20 quid a night for the motor home, us two and our dog and that was with a hook up. None of this silly, greedy have you got an awning? Have you got a dog? Will you want electric? etc etc, Good old fashioned value.
2. No rules everywhere stating that you can't do this and you can't do that.
3. Great big grassy pitches.
4. Literally a 1 minute walk to the pebbly beach that stretches for miles.
5. A small clubhouse with excellent prices.
6. A burger bar / chip van that will even drop the food off at your caravan / MH / tent. Once again good grub at a good price.
7. A 10 minute cycle / 20 minute walk into town, with its shops and pubs along the level sea front.
Do you remember the camp sites you used to go to with your mum and dad years ago and that were great fun before the days of giving them stars and saunas? Well the Buckle is a throwback to those days. Great value. Great atmosphere. Great pitch sizes. And you can tell by the kids playing and the atmosphere - great memories.
As for the toilets and showers they are fine trust me. If you want underfloor heating and state of the art designs then put your hands deeper in your pockets and go up market. Hot water was plentiful and toilets were cleaned regularly during our visit,
I am really choosy and picky and have visited many, many sites and we are gutted it is over 300 miles from us as it would quickly become a regular drop in for us otherwise. We liked it so much we have even mentioned using it as a stopover when we next travel down to the Channel Tunnel.
Thank you to the staff at the Buckle site - I hope you get the success you deserve. Please don't take any negative comments to heart from some posters. I know of some outstanding sites in Cornwall where they can go but they will pay nearly 3 times as much (and have to memorise a rule book).
Once again thank you and well done.

We went for a long weekend to buckle caravan park, this was a lovely break, staff in the office and the club house were friendly, and happy to help, there are two shower blocks, one more modern than the other, but both adequate, the club was quiet when we visited, but very friendly, it has bar, sky tv, etc, pleasant to sit and chat without blaring music, and easy access to pebble beach from site, will definitely be booking again, and would recommend to others.

Nice campsite in a fantastic location. There is no sea view as such but the beach is literally a few metres away on the other side of a bank. The main site is a little tired and would maybe benefit from some extra attention, especially the toilets and shower facilities. They are clean and have quirky little touches as part of the decor but the stalls are not very big which is a bit of a problem in the shower as there is one hook for clothing and towel which tend to get splashed from the shower. The showers are on a push button timer but not a issue. The staff are very friendly and there is a clubhouse on site which looks fairly new and is quite nice inside. At £20 per night in the main summer season the site is great value for money but if an injection of cash was put into improving facilities I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra. Seaford town is a short walk away, 15-20 minutes either via road or along the promenade. Nice little town, not a huge place though. Transport links to Brighton are fantastic. The station is a short walk from the site and cost us just under £10 return for 2 adults. Trains run every half an hour and generally on time - note when you board a train you must ask the conductor to buy a ticket, do not wait for him to come to you apparently!

This is a great site and Seaford a backwater with superb beach. Sweet town with good shops and pubs and tea rooms.
The site is let down by poor shower blocks. They spent money on the clubhouse, they need to do the same with the showers.
Staff very friendly
Great connections to Brighton, Eastbourne and Lewes by train - rail station practically on doorstep

Lovely site. Toilet and showers cleaned daily - showers free but would benefit from modernisation. Friendly and welcoming staff. 30 yards from beach with promenade and beautiful sunset. Set away from units is a large field dedicated for games. Site is less than 5 mins walk to train station & 5 mins walk to bus stop. Bar on site but only 15 min walk in to Seaford town for other pubs, plenty of eating places and Morrisons. Only occasional problem we encountered was getting back in to the site when in the car - barriers were down (good for security) but need to buzz in and a few times there was no one in the office and the steward was out on the site.

Our first visit to Buckle - we stayed Fri - Sun as we were going to a 70s weekend at the Brighton Centre on the Sat night. Arriving on Fri afternoon, the guy on reception was very friendly and the site is very cheap ! The field ( B ) we were in is shielded from the strong costal winds and the plots are level and clean. The whole place is basic and adequate and a great location. Morrisons is half a mile away, its right on the sea and 300yrd from Bishopstone Railway Station. Toilet and shower blocks were basic and clean - Will definitely go back - Great little place.

Pitch is flat with loads of room for kids to run around in and the clubhouse was fairly well maintained, but the rest of the site looks unloved and needs maintenance. The toilet/shower block near the camping field is pretty basic, the showers are the push button type, each push lasting about 20 seconds and the shower heads in need of a good descaling. The other block near the front entrance is better, but quite a walk if you are camping. The plus side is the location, 30 seconds to the beach, 3 minutes to the train station with trains every 30 minutes to Brighton. 15 minute stroll into seaford or a 5 minute car ride to newhaven. I wouldn't recommend a long stay, but it is cheap and has great location.

Myself and 7 friends have just got home from a 3 nights stay over the Easter Bank Holiday in our VW campervans. It was our first time at The Buckle Holiday Park and if I'm honest, we didn't expect a lot due to the cheap price, but I've got to say we were very pleasantly surprised!
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The club house/bar was great and everyone in there very friendly too. There's a pool tablet, a flat screen for sports and also a couple of games machines. Oh and there is also a burger van on site that does some fantastic food!
Yes the site is a little basic but to be honest that's what's nice about it. It is what it is.
The toilets and showers are a little on the small side but its really wasn't an issue. We always found them to be clean and fresh and there was always hot water too.
The location is fantastic! The beach is literally just over the bank, Seaford town is only a 10 minute walk away. There are also some great attractions nearby too.
We will defo be booking in again this year and can't wait!

Back from another pleasant stay at Buckle.
Yes, this place is basic, but that's part of the charm.
The previous review was a bit scathing and factually incorrect. There are two toilet blocks, plus a bar, so I've never had to queue in a dozen visits.
The staff are all lovely and do their utmost to help and have a great local knowledge.
I'll definitely be back throughout the summer. The location is perfect for the beach, Seaford, Newhaven and Brighton.
The only improvement I can think of is a small playground. There's already a small football pitch, but some slides and swings wouldn't go amiss!

First sunny weekend of the year so decided to have a night away somewhere local. The best thing about this site is the location, literally a stone throw from the beach, no sea views due to the high bank though. For me, that's the only good thing, the facilities are so old and dated and the website says they have 150 pitches but they only have 3 gents toilets and showers, the roads around the site pot holed, the lights around the site broken in places. Generally the site looks unloved which is a shame because it could be stunning if someone was bothered!
There is a nearby train line which didn't bother us noise wise nor did the noise from the nearby road.

Location, location, location. We've been using this site for many years now, because of this. There isn't anything else in the area, is there ?
Agree with the previous reviews. The welcome and general helpfulness have improved a great deal from how they used to be, but the facilities have not. The electricity supply is apparently pretty low-amp, be careful. I see a previous review says there is no laundry: not true, there is a washing machine, get the key from reception.
The half-hourly 120 bus from Seaford (Morrisons) will drop you outside the site if you ask the driver nicely.

We stayed here for 3 nights as the location was ideal for us visiting the Eastbourne Airshow.
The owners seemed quite casual when we were booking which made us a little nervous if we would turn up to find no pitch but we neednt have worried. They helpfully put us as near as possible to our relatives who were using their trailer tent and needed electric hook up.
The Good:
Location great, beach literally a stones throw away and the train station a very short walk which we then used to get to Eastbourne.
Trains - they are very quiet, was concerned as the track so close but needn't have worried. Only noise they made was tooting for the crossing.
Field for playing football (including 2 nets)
Toilets were always kept clean
Staff were all very friendly
The not-so-good:
Very hard ground - a number of my storm force pegs ended up getting bent, you will definitely need a mallet to get them in. Pretty tough to get out afterwards as well!
Shower and toilet cubicles small - you need to put a leg each side of the toilet so that you can get the door open so you can get out again! Shower head not adjustable so you have to endure freezing cold water initially until it warms up as there is nowhere to hide!
Overall, a basic site which could do with some modernising, but the location more than made up for it and we would return

We booked a week for our folding camper with electric and 6 people. The price was really cheap compared to others. We are just about to finish our week and can say its been great. The staff were more than friendly when I asked at 10am when we could pitch up and said our pitch was already vacant and therefore could set up. The showers and toilet block is basic but kept clean and stocked- more than I expected by price! The site looked big but once on you don't get the feel of a large site. The people on site have been helpful and for the first time ever my partner has caught fish off the beach with that assistance. The beach is just over the brow where it said it would be. The site hasn't got many rules but common sense has ruled. I would recommend this site as long as you wanted a no frills camping base. If I was to come this way again I would certainly return here. Thank you buckle campsite
