 What a lovely campsite…. It is quiet but our 9 year old Son, loved walking about the woods and exploring. The showers / toilets and washing up areas are just spotless. We are already looking to come again real soon. The site is near the village and some lovely pubs:- Try the Spotted Cow – lovely food and value for money (unlike the Lamb - which was overpriced). Arundel and Littlehampton are on the doorstep and are worth a visit.

Firstly, don't do what we did. The normally reliable satnav took us blindly past the gate and into an industrial estate across the road with caravans and even vacant hookup points, if you end up in a site that looks like you're not going to sleep well, you're in the wrong place, go back to the road, turn left & immediate right into the 'Acorns' site!
The beautiful little site in the middle of the woods was exactly as advertised. If you like quiet, this is for you. There were a small handful of tents and motorhomes including ours and despite there being a few children (including 3 of our own), you couldn't help but feel the tranquility that the website pictures suggest.
The Toilet/Shower block and food prep area were very clean, the modernness of the facilities are a contrast to the outer skin of the building, which blends in to the surroundings. Albert was very welcoming and all the other 10/10 ratings are spot-on, which was a relief given our initial mistake!
We will be back for a longer stay sometime.
Thank You for your hospitality.

Lovely little site - very quiet. Facilities very good for a small site - if you visit them in the early hours you may see deer grazing. When we arrived we were given our choice of pitches and the owner was very helpful throughout. On the day were were due to leave the heavens opened and Albert kindly offered us more time to stay on and dry stuff out. When we are in the area would not hesitate to return.

What a fantastic campsite! We visited for the weekend, after driving up from Devon. Albert could not have been more welcoming, especially as we arrived a little late after a long drive. The campsite is just magical. Very generously sized wooded pitches, spotlessly clean facilities and a lovely nature trail. Our two children (5 and 7) had a great time and can't wait to go back - the restrictions on ball games didn't bother them in the slightest as there was so much space to enjoy anyway. Highlights included spotting a hedgehog and a glow worm. Pirate Pete popped down to the tent to say hello a couple of times.
I can't recommend this site enough, we can't wait to go back - hopefully for a bit longer next time!

Our second visit to see Albert and pirate Pete the cat we last visited in 2013. If Carlsberg did campsites this would be it, beautiful, tranquil, spotlessly clean facilities, huge pitches, superb short walk and longer ones nearby, 2 pubs in easy reach and a the coast from the New Forest to Eastbourne to explore well within a days drive. A friendly welcome and lots of local knowledge from Albert completes a perfect visit, it is a 5 hour drive for us but well worth it.

Just spent a week at Acorns, a beautiful site, very peaceful and quiet, Albert, the owner was very helpful with local knowledge, shower and toilet block was very clean and kept tidy, a nice little nature reserve on site and was lucky enough to see the wild deer, , a little village about a mile away, co-op, , fish shop and local butchers, . Will certainly be returning to this site although it was a 5 hour drive, ,
Only negative was no charcoal bbq's allowed, but didn't miss it, ,

A warm and helpful welcome by owner Albert and Pete the cat, to this intimate and tranquil woodland site. Easy accessible from the A27 with spacious level pitches. Excellent and always spotlessly clean facilities. A 10 minute walk to the local village of Angmering. Arundel and Littlehampton only a short drive away.

Spent a few nights at Acorns the site was very nice snuggled up in the trees, Albert gave us a very good welcome and explained every thing about the site from recycling to the showerblock in a very friendly manner. Hoping to go back again in September I would recommend the site to anyone if you want some time away for peace and quiet

Enjoyed this campsite over the May bank holiday, it was a great base for us as it was only 20 minutes from the Big Church Day Out.
The facilities were great and were very clean with plenty of hot water. The campsite was very quiet. The noise from the road did not bother us. Will definitely stay here again.

This is the second time we have stayed at Acorns (also in June 2014) and it has become a favourite of ours. The setting (despite being just off the A27) is very peaceful and the woodland lends it a magical quality. There are not too many pitches but all have ample space and hookup and you do not feel crowded in. The toilet block is modern and always spotless with plenty of (free) hot water in the showers.
We do not know this part of Sussex but have enjoyed what we have seen and, weather permitting, will visit Arundel next time we're down.
The owner is a fine host and makes you feel most welcome - as do the cats!
For an extra bonus the local pub - The Woodman's Arms - is only a five minute walk away (across the A27) and is a beautiful traditional pub with excellent fayre - I recommend the steal and ale pie! The staff and locals are very welcoming.
We are looking forward to visiting again very soon!

We just spent a couple of nights at Acorns, I just wish I had of had more time to stay longer. We just bought a new tent and equipment so we wanted to try it all out, we had a nice secluded spot to ourselves.
i have to say it was perfect in every way.
Fantastic wooded area, trees helped shade the tent
Superb shower / toilet block
We even got to see some deer in the mornings.
The village was a 10 min walk, and everything you need is there.
Bus service to Littlehampton is close by.
Very many thanks.

Just spent a couple of nights at Acorns and it is not enough, where to start?
Great host, thank you Albert.
Great spot,
Fantastic facilities, very clean and lashings of hot water.
Great for kids, they loved the Nature Trail.
The pitches are well spaced and the whole place has a lovely peaceful feel to it.
The only problem was we couldn't stay longer!
The local village is also spot on, great pub, Chip shop and a Coop all within a ten minute walk.

Had a lovely stay, the site is small which I like, its clean tidy and very welcoming. Two toilets, two showers & wash area, always clean and stocked up with toilet roll!
There is a lovely walk in the woods if you turn right out of the site, cross road and pass the Woodmans arms, through bridleways and footpaths. We got a bit lost !
I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend.
Thank you both. And Pirate Pete the cat !

A delightful campsite, fairly small, but not at all cramped. The lovely owner spaces the pitches well and although we didn't have one there were some lovely secluded pitches around the edge of the site. I know some people mention the quality of the ground, not being an expert all I can say is good short grass, easy to bang pegs into mud and fairly flat but not a bowling green!
The showers and loos are immaculate, we never had to queue and there was plenty of hot water.
I marked 7/10 for child friendliness - it's absolutely fine for older children (11 and 14 in my case) or babies, but I would imagine toddlers and primary school children might find the restrictions on cycling or ball games hard.
The location was really the best thing for us, it was a brilliant base for a holiday as the train station at Angmering isn't too far (5min drive) and we had day trips to Chichester, Brighton (my girls wanted to extend our stay so we could go back) and Portsmouth Historic Dockyards (an excellent day out). There are loads of things to do near by and it's so lovely to come back in the evening to a quiet site (no late night parties here).
Fish and chip shop and Indian take-away are both in walking distance and very good, 'The Lamb' in Angmering also looked good and was busy but we didn't have time to try it.
No BBQ's may be a downside, it didn't matter to us as we were out all the time and ate out or grabbed food on the way back, but usually we relax on a site much more and cook outdoors so that's worth noting and a bit of a shame as there's so much fresh seafood available at the coast.
The other thing to note is that there is never a true silence at this site due to the A27, it's a constant hum so you wouldn't really notice until you listen out for it (like the sea). Having lived near the M25 it didn't bother us in the slightest.
It's very likely we will return next year.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at Acorns what a fantastic site! Set in a beautiful wooded area there are not many pitches and Albert ensures that you have plenty of room for each pitch, which is refreshing!There is an array of wildlife around and we saw the deers early one morning - fab!
The toilets and showers were spotless every time we visited them, the washing up area is really good, the only thing that could improve this site is the use of a freezer for ice packs etc.
It is located brilliantly for sightseeing across West Sussex. We did spend quite a lot of time going up and down the A27, which was ok as we packed a lot in our week, luckily we had fantastic weather, which always helps! If you get the chance to visit Fishbourne Palace go as it is awesome!
Not mentioned in other reviews is the need for hard ground pegs, it is quite stoney and luckily for us we'd taken ours, but best to be prepared, along with insect repellent spray/candles!
We visited the Woodmans Arms three times in our stay, the food (though not the cheapest) is fantastic, the service impeccable and what a lovely pub (shame about the A27 noise). We also had 2 takeaways from Shafiques (being curry veterans we were sceptical) but its fantastic food, hence the 2nd visit!
The owners were great hosts, but just as friendly was Pete the one eyed cat, what a character! Lovely site which I would have no problems recommending to anyone wanting peace and quiet - thanks, hope to see you again in the future.
