My husband and I visited this camp site for a peaceful getaway from our everyday lives. We were sceptical about visiting in the school holidays, however it was the only time we could get off work.
We enjoyed the atmosphere that the site had as all staff were friendly and you could tell they wanted every guest to have the best holiday for them.
We were given a map on arrival and were given directions on how to get to the local beach, pubs and shops. Which were only about a 10 minute walk away.
As I said earlier we were sceptical about the time of year that we chose to visit as we did not want the site to over run with screaming kids. However we were extremely impressed with the way this site was ran as there was a beautiful play area which seemed to keep kids from all ages occupied. At night time there was not a peep from all the little ones that we saw in the day.
We saw members of staff patrolling at night to see if there was an trouble and as we heard nothing I expect if there was they would have dealt with it straight away making our stay even more enjoyable.
The toilet and shower facilities were more than what I would expect from such a busy camp site, they were modern and impeccably clean. There was a queue at 'peak time' however being early risers we did not fall into this bracket.
The things that were sold in reception were a little over priced which we were a bit shocked about as every other facility at this site are to excellent recommendation, but this did not really affect us as we could walk to the local shops for amenities anyway.
There is a good sized dog walking field that would suit all dogs of any size was at this camp site and I would definitely recommend it to dog owners and non dog owners alike.
Lovely family campsite. Went with my partner, our two kids (9months and 3 years), my mum(46) brothers(6 and 10 years) sister and her her two year old, and our friends and there kids. And we all had and amazing 5 nights at Scotts farm. Perfect for all ages, amazing good sized playground, covered in clean sand, with climbing frames, slides, obstacle type stuff, and swings. Lots of clean, warm, FREE, showers, clean toilets. Lovely big field, pitch where you like, laid back friendly environment. 4 big fields so you don't feel close to anyone, nice wind for flying kites, separate field at the end for dog walking.
East Wittering village 5 mins walk, which has a co-op, and tecos local, boots pharmacy as well as a butchers, toy shops, fish and chips, Chinese, and Indian restaurant and various other handy shops. East Wittering beach 10 minute walk, little pebble beach at high tide, sand when the tide goes out, small waves for body surfing. West Witterng beach about half an hour (with kids) can be windy, but a nice big beautiful sandy beach, pay to go in by car(5 quid weekday and 7. 50 weekend), free if you walk. Staff are SO nice and helpful, my sister locked her keys in her car and they got them out fo her, jump started my mums car twice, lovely guys. Reception open till 11pm. Clean dishwashing area with plenty of sinks. 2 washing machines and 2 dryers (the dryers arent very good, clothes dry better in your car overnight). Will definitely be returning next year.
Tips:
-the hedge near the dog walking field can be a bit smelly
-bring your kites
-no fridge to store your food/pay for ice blocks 50p each with 1 pound deposit
-Halima Indian restaurant will deliver to the campsite, and is really nice food
We turned up at the site without booking and had no problem getting a pitch, staff were very polite upon arrival,
The site is extremely large we stayed in a non electric tent field which had plenty of room for kids to play and also had a small basketball court and a fenced of play ground.
Toilet and shower facilities were plenty and were very clean the only minor criticism (and a petty one at that) is only one hook on the back of the shower door so nowhere to put your clothes apart from to hang over the door.
Also we camped at the edge of the field close to the toilet block and had people walking past the front of the tent throughout the night, but there was plenty of room to move somewhere else had we wished to.
The site is only a short walk from the beach and 5 mins to the shops, washing machines are available on site.
On the whole a very good site, but at £24 p/n quite expensive for a tent without electric
I have just got back from staying at Scotts Farm with my wife and our 3 children just after the schools broke up.
The reason why we chose Scotts Farm was because it's the closest camp site to the beach and the shops. This meant we could walk to them easily within 10 minutes and so we saved money on petrol and parking.
When we arrived we were told to book in and my wife gave them our details and we received a yellow and pink ticket for our tent. They had given us a map of the local area and a map of their camp site and made us feel very welcome.
We were situated on a field called D field and as we drove past the sandy play area our kids got very excited. After pitching up the staff came and check tickets and also asked us if everything was going well.
The camp site had two toilet and shower blocks and so there was plenty of space and only a waiting time if you went in the peak period.
In terms of constructive criticism I would say that the 'no gazebos' policy should be reviewed as it was more convenient for us to sit under a gazebo than in a tent. However, as our trip progressed we realised that this policy helped the noise pollution of the site as people went to bed earlier and it was easier for our kids to get to sleep without disturbance.
My wife in the morning reassured me in the morning that security came round when he was awake in the early hours of the morning checking the site for any trouble. This made us feel very safe within the site. After spending 5 nights there it was clear that the site is well maintained in every aspect and the staff really care about you having the best holiday you can have.
Surrounding the site there is a particular pub which we began to admire. It was called the Thatched Tavern and has a beautiful garden area where we reclined to after a relaxing day at the beach.
Overall then I would say that if you are a family looking for a site with a great location, great play area and great facilities then Scotts Farm is the place for you!
I visited Scotts Farm camping site for the first time and camped for 1 week with my boyfriend. It was my first time camping and hers too. I was thoroughly impressed by first impressions as everything was clearly labelled on the site and there were fantastic facilities everywhere.
The toilets and showers were clean whenever I went there and the staff were always very helpful. We went on an ordinary pitch instead of electric and was able to charge our mobiles in the office for £1 which was extremely helpful.
In terms for surrounding attractions it was brilliant as the beach was so close to the site that you could even walk it in 10 minutes! There was a village right next to the site which has a Tesco and Co-Op. We spent most of our days at the beach as it was such nice weather.
Sometimes we would walk to West Witterings beach however usually it was so full that we preferred the less busy one as it was more relaxed and less noisy. The site is obviously designed for families as it had a big sandy play area with slides and swings and it was very quiet in the evenings compared to the number of people camping there.
In general, we were surprised about how clean the whole site was in general. It seemed like all the time the staff were coming around picking up litter and checking whether everything was to satisfaction. I was pleased by how friendly everyone was. We made friends with other campers and never experienced any negativity from anyone.
Most nights we would go to a really nice pub with a beautiful garden area which was just next to one of the fields of the camp site through a foot path called the Thatched Tavern. Half way through our trip my parents came down to visit and they registered their car at the office, we had a barbecue next to our tent and had a very enjoyable time.
I will definitely be visiting Scotts Farm in the near future and advice other people to do so too!
Like many we ended on this campsite following a referral from Nunnington Farm after failing to get there on time before they filled up. Shame really, we only live 45 minutes away and thought arriving at noon would have given us plenty of time to check into what looked like a very pleasant “ruralish” site.
The signage for Scott’s Farm was good and the site was easy to find. Reception staff were very helpful, explaining how the site was delineated for pitches with hook up (more on this later). The various camping fields were level and the ground was idea for pitching, not too soft and not too hard. The grass had clearly been cut in readiness for the bank holiday weekend.
The facilities block on the field we chose was modern, highly functional and generally kept clean. There was always an abundance of hot water for showering and washing up (more on this later).
For rubbish there were strategically placed mega sized skips (more on this later). Staff came round checking that everyone had valid tickets on their tents and making suggestions regarding pitching positions (more later)
Had we had younger children, I’m sure they would have been well entertained in the play area which seemed to have plenty of good quality equipment (more on this later)
In all Scott’s Farm is a large and efficiently run site, close to local amenities and the beach.
Out of choice, however, we would not return. Why? The frailties of Homo sapiens I’m afraid. Let me explain.
The “no groups” policy was not enforced. Easy to bypass when you all turn up separately and free pitch selection policy ( which in theory is very commendable) allows people to spread cars and other equipment over several pitches until their mates turn up. Our neighbour was particularly bad in that he parked his car down the side of his very large tent, and into our pitch, which meant that we had to walk over our guy-ropes to get in our door. He refused to move it, and it became aware why as the very large space in front of his tent was the football pitch – our cars turned into the goalnets.
The toilets were fine although the litter bins always seem to fill up with takeaway food wrappers very quickly ( it must have been all of another 75 yards to take it to the skips!). At least the site was not heavily littered and the wardens did come round picking litter. The only thing they could not pick up were the hundreds of used water bombs ( I’m sure they will degrade in a 100 or so years) Soap dispensers would have been handy and most basins needed emptied( and rinsed) before they could be used.
The washing up area had very large and deep sinks – excellent. Again it would have been nice to find one that did not need washed before it could be used.
The other downside was that there was no recycling policy in place – everything was placed in the one type of skip. Perhaps Chichester council could suggest at their licensing renewal. We took our paper, card and bottles home with us. I suspect that we were in a minority of one.
It was bound to be noisy over a bank holiday, but the parties ceased at about 1am and some kids were set loose again at 5:30 (1st light), so it was not exactly a place for a good night’s sleep.
So I guess you take it that we did not enjoy our stay. It could have been better, we went offsite a lot.
This is the third year we have visited, and once again it does not fail to please. Good idea to get there on a Wednesday or a Thursday as you will have the choice of pitches in the main field. Friday the overflow field opens and it seems whatever the weather, half of London descends.
There is no online booking, just turn up. Staff are very friendly and helpful (even advised where to get parts for our cooker at a rival campsite). Beach is a short 15 min walk as is the town. Beach is very clean and safe for kids,there are a couple of little seasidey shops and a Co-Op and Tesco, although be warned Friday and Saturday evenings they are heaving.
Showers and Toilets are passibly clean given the use they get at weekends. Pitch where you like (the staff will tell you if you are too close, as happened to some, and had to move), reasonably flat, some good well sign posted country footpaths run off the dog walking field.
Playground very good for kids 6-12 yrs although it does get populated by the hooded topped teen brigade once dark, but these are soon shifted by the staff around 10. All in all an ace site for a short break by the sea. A couple of pubs, one very much at the tourist near the beach, the other very much for locals, but friendly enough both accepting of children.
If you want a short break, by the sea, for not much money, this is perfect, just don't expect peace and quiet at the weekends. Weather also tends to be good even when it it pouring elsewhere due to a strange microclimate caused by the proximity to the Isle of Wight. Short seaside break,decent site,no need to do any driving once there, this place is perfect.
Just returned from a very nice weekend at Scotts Farm. Found the staff to be very helpful and the campsite very good.
Very close to East Wittering village shops and pubs/restaurants. Only ten minutes walk from the beach, would recommend this site and will return again.
We were concerned having tried telephoning other sites in advance just to find them fully booked but took a chance on getting in.
We need not have worried as the site was very large, 4 fields, and there was plenty of room. You also have the choice of which field you would like and each contains a toilet/shower block.
You don't have to pay separately for the showers either.
I was pleasantly surprised with the site, the staff were friendly & helpful & I could pitch wherever I wanted (given a choice of 3 fields). There is a great playground for the children which is full of sand so can also be used as a sand pit! There were plenty of toilets, showers & sinks for washing up.
West wittering beach is a very short drive away & is a lovely place the shops in East Wittering are just a few minutes walk from the site & there is a small shop on the campsite selling essentials.
It's been a long time since I've been camping and my 9 year old son and 18 month old Jack Russell have never camped before! I was dreading it! When we arrived it was very clear where we had to go. The gentlemen in reception were friendly, and made booking in easy. We were given a small map of the campsite and told which field we could camp in and off we went.
We found the shower and toilets clean, plenty of fresh drinking water points. The dog walking field is fantastic! The children's play area is great. The Village has everything you could possibly need, and there are plenty of shops that stock camping supplies.
All in all the only complaint we had, RE our holiday, was the rain on the first day! Not a lot that can be done about that!
Everyone was kind, friendly, pleasant, couldn't have asked for nicer staff, or more pleasant surroundings.
5 minute walk to the village, there's a couple of handy shops there, Co-op, Tesco, cutest sweet shop and the busiest fish n chip shop ever on a Friday night (worth the wait), a few minutes walk more to the sea front.
However due to its location you do get some wind off the coast, not all the time apparently but I would advise against taking a flimsy tent just in case.
Very relaxed/laid back attitude here.
The price is great if you are a family in one tent, £21 I think per night.
They will only accept couples/families, don't go here if you are a group of friends because you'll be turned away.
You also can't pre-book which is a bit of a pain.
Nice kids' park, but it was of course noisy if you were camped over there. It's near the one and only toilet block too so you have to compromise if you want peace and quiet or to be closer to the toilets. The block is annoyingly located near the front of the site too. It was modern and clean, but some handsoap would've been nice.
Go to West Wittering for a good beach, but be prepared it gets very busy.
We had a fantastic weekend there - really safe environment for children and all the other families were really friendly. Children loved going to collect water, and the shower and sink facilities were warm and clean.
The beach at West Wittering is lovely, but the car park can be expensive at £7.00 on a sunday.
We loved it so much we are planning to come again.
Have been using this site for many years now, and after our treatment this year will not be using it again. Staff seemed disinterested when questions were asked. There was no soap in toilets.
It boasts 'tranquil park with no clubhouse' yet we were kept awake til 11.00pm most nights. Kids were hanging about the shower blocks at night, upsetting my young grandchildren. There are children riding bikes all the time, all over the site.
This could be a lovely site again if they just dealt with the problems. It is situated in the perfect place, the ground is level, there is masses of room-as long as it is not a bank holiday,the shower/toilet blocks are spacious and reasonably clean.
We were very lucky to have the most gorgeous weather during our long weekend and although this meant the campsite was very busy, it did not impact on our stay.
We had a non electric pitch and, as there are no marked out pitches, found it very roomy despite the number of people there.
The toilets and showers were cleaned frequently, twice each day I think, and I only noticed a short queue for ladies showers one morning at the 'peak time'.
Our children loved the on site play park, set in deep fine sand, but it does mean your tent also gets full of sand.
It felt very safe on site, it is also very clean and tidy.
A short walk takes you to east wittering shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach.
Two friends (one with 17 month old baby) and I spent a very happy weekend here. We wanted a site we could get to by public transport near a beach and shops/pub and this was perfect.
The showers and toilets were plentiful and clean, and the site very well kept generally. We took the baby to the on-site playground and had a fun time there. The beach is easily reached on foot, as is Tesco and co-op.
The area is very relaxed with no amusement arcade type places which fitted our taste as we wanted some peace and quiet away from London.
The beach is lovely at low tide and the sea was warm - huge surprise for me. At high tide it is a bit pebbly but we sat on the grass
Had an excellent lunch at 'The Shore' pub then once the tde went out lay on the beach. The cafe opposite The Shore does a good breakfast. I would be happy to go to this site and this area again.

My husband and I visited this camp site for a peaceful getaway from our everyday lives. We were sceptical about visiting in the school holidays, however it was the only time we could get off work.
