 Excellent location just outside of Arundel with easy access to neighbouring towns via the train which is very close to the campsite - definitely worth bringing ear plugs!

Excellent value for money overall, with a very friendly and welcoming campsite manager and the food at the pub is excellent.

This is a perfect base for exploring the local area but just be aware that everything closes down around 9:30pm here.

Perfect for early nights if you can block out the noise from the road/train.

 Very friendly campsite and pub staff.

Would use this site again if visiting the area. So reviews mention the train noise, but is far enough away that you rarely notice it, so not a issue.

If you like a walk its midway between Arundel and Littlehampton along the river Arun, so a pleasant hours walk either way.

Helen the owner is friendly and helpful.

Clean toilets and showers.

Reviewer: Rachel 1 review from this member

 Beautiful site with good clean facilities.

Helen was lovely and a joy to bump into around the site.

No ball games didn't go down well with my eldest when we first arrived but the park and river walks made up for it.

The pub food was amazing, lovely home cooked food

 Lovely site, immaculately clean. Field was well cut with nice areas.

Showers and toilets spotless.

Helen ensures the site is well run and has lots of useful information.

Nice dog walk along the river and 5 mins drive into Arundel.

 This is a quiet site with dated but immaculately clean facilities.

£25 pn with hookup. We were welcomed by the owner who gave a full and helpful explanation of everything. There were only two other vans and the rabbits each evening so we were expecting to hear the train noise others have mentioned. However we didn't hear a thing and can only assume that, being sited near reception, we were further away from the bridge than those who have mentioned it.

We felt there should be a motorhome service point on a site this size.

We used the train service a lot and found it excellent although the walk back from the station after dark is along a single track pavement which is unlit. You will need a good torch.

We were very happy with everything until our last night. We had booked dinner in the pub for 7. 00 pm and were being joined by our nephew and his wife. The A27 was closed by an accident of some kind so they were a bit late in arriving. We duly received a phone call at 7. 10 asking if we still required the booking. I apologised and explained the reason for our lateness, saying that we would be but a few minutes. We duly arrived at 7. 20 to be told, bluntly and rudely, "The booking was for 7. 00 - you are too late - I have closed the kitchen!" The landlady was offensively curt. When I asked what we were then supposed to do for dinner she just snapped "You go to another pub down the road - that's what". A thoroughly bad experience which tarnished our stay - a great shame because all the rest was good news. I can but warn others. Not the site's fault but the pub on site was one of the reasons I made this booking.

Reviewer: Graham 1 review from this member

 Excellent campsite, level and well kept. It took me 2 mins to set up as it was so level. Great value and a lovely pub.

Very handy for the railway. However the railway is frequent and noisy but you soon get used to it.

My only criticism is, they need a separate grid for the grey water as it presently has to go down the Elsan which makes lifting the grey carrier heavy to lift over the side.

There are 12 EHU’S and 2 fields on a large site.

Helen the owner is a lovely lady and welcoming. Highly recommended!888

 Lovely welcome to the site by Helen, pitch ideal with all amenities close by.

Pub on site restricted hours for food so do check but it’s worth it had a lovely meal.

 The Ship and Anchor is wonderfully situated for any Event at Goodwood.

Ford Train station is a few minutes walk then you have 15 minutes and two stops to Chichester.

Campsite has very clean shower blocks with Piping hot showers.

Electric Hook up if req.

See you next year.

This is our 3rd time staying which says it all, If somewhere is Good you return.

Reviewer: Dcraig 1 review from this member

 The site was very good, very close to the railway station which is handy,

The only downside is the road outside is very busy if you were to consider cycling and the entrance is on a blind bend,

However everything else was great.

Reviewer: Davef4 1 review from this member

 The site was very clean and the pitches were spacious with no near neighbours due to the excellent planning of space on site,

The only negative was the noise from the railway throughout the night and road noise earlier in the morning apart from this it was a very relaxed and chilled stay,

The food in the pub was very good as well and the amenities on site were very good
