Reviewer: Jeff willans 1 review from this member

 Great site, very basic but welcoming.

Right next to lovely shingle beach, which is great for fishing in the summer, easily accesible from the campsite.

Basic amenities, but clean and tidy, with areas for washing up, and large bins for rubbish.

No real restrictions placed on what you can do, but common sense is encouraged, no open fires allowed, but barbecues, fire pits etc can be used, great for the evening.

There is no shop on site, which is a shame, but seaford is very close. Some of the camping fields have quite a few thistles, but are mowed regularly, and the site closest to the shingle has a few boggy areas, so place you're tent carefully.

But all in all a lovely little site, which I have used 3 times this year and will do again many times in the future

 Great location, literally a stone's throw from a shingle beach, with cafe.

Facilities are standard, basic but clean (plenty of hot water).

Seaford is only a mile or so away where there is a supermarket (morrisons) plus pubs, takeaways etc.

Newhaven isn't far away either, with a larger selection of town stuff.

The campsite is quite exposed (good for the view, bad for wind), but has a lovely feel about it.

Really friendly owners with good knowledge of the area.

If I were to nit-pick;

No shop on site (might be worth stocking a fridge in the reception area for milk etc).

No freezer available for ice packs.

Not great plot definition.

But, like I said, that's nit-picking.

We'll definitely be back.

I was advised by the owner that booking is recommended in high season.

 Great site, friendly and welcoming.

Proximity to sea was great, and ideal for young children as a safe and enclosed site.

Showers cleaned daily and warm with provision for sinks etc,

Would recommend purely on easy access to beach and town, and a good old fashioned camping holiday.

Recommend sea fishing for those interested and kids loved hot chocolate on the beach at night !

Overall there is slot to do and beautiful cliff walks to be explore along with a nearby fort.

Great fish and Chips in the town, and a crypt art gallery adds to the fun.

Reviewer: Tyreman1 10 reviews from this member

 I used the camp site finder facility typing in 'seaview' to find a site near Brighton, this site is literally a stones throw from the beach but there is no sea view.

We paid £20 a night (2 adults with electric) and feel that this is way over priced for the state of the facilities,

The toilets and showers are probably the worst I have come across in the last 3 years, the lights were broken in the toilet area (this was mentioned in a previous review and still not sorted)and I couldn't bring myself to use the the showers as they looked as it they hadn't been cleaned for ages,

There are only 2 taps on the the site and to fill the water tank on the van we had to drive through gaps between caravans, if the owners had cars parked there we couldn't get to the tap. Not great.

The young lad that booked us in was very polite and helpful but apart from that the place is a state, if you do go to this site check out the beach which goes right along to Seaford town.

Reviewer: Rae_t 23 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for three very windy nights as a base for exploring the area. Booked this because of it's proximity to train station which I later came to regret. (see cons)

PROS

Owners were very friendly young lad who checked us in was extremely helpful.

Flat pitches which accepted our tent pegs easily!

Other campers quiet when we were there.

Near to the sea so we had excellent views of the boats coming in and out from France, which the kids loved.

No obtrusive rules laid down, respecting campers common sense!

Near to the train station so we could explore Brighton without the hassle of finding a parking space - trains aprox every half hour from early til late. (Half hour journey)

Easy access to nearby town of Seaford with supermarkets, cashpoints, pubs shops etc.

Kid's play field visible from all tent camping areas.

Site bar available when weather wet and windy.

CONS

VERY windy, pack a wind break! Right on the seafront.

Site quite scruffy with some litter blowing around.

Toilets clean but showers horrible. Water trickled out slowly and wooden doors were new but hadn't been treated so were already mouldy after three months. Doors also swelled and warped with the heat ( so much so that we had to take the lock/handle off with a screwdriver after my daughter become locked in after a shower!)

Under canvas, the train noise became a pain, we were camped right by the line but all tents would have heard the noise! Also I did get sick of waving to every single train that passed with my two year old son who loved it.

Perfect for access to Brighton, Dieppe ferries or even London day trips but not a five star site by any means. Still at £18 a night, you get what you pay for.

Would visit again if getting a ferry, otherwise we will try elsewhere.

Reviewer: Drummy 1 review from this member

 We have used this site for four years and have found the staff helpful and friendly

The toilet and shower block are not the best. The owners are trying to improve the site so give them a chance

I travel over 600miles to get there and in my opinion it's worth it

The town of seaford is 5 minutes away and has excellent shopping and pubs etc. Brighton is a short distance by train or car, so you wont be short of something to do

Reviewer: Evilgothictwin 3 reviews from this member

 Me and my partner booked to stay here for 4 nights. When we arrived we were told where to put our tent and told the rules of the site.

Unfortunately the weather was awful and pitching the tent wasn't very easy but being an ex army cadet I'm used to it and managed it fine. The toilet blocks were clean and the site was fairly empty.

We were kept awake by the weather with gailforce winds and torrential rain. This was the case the whole time we stayed so after trying to stick it out we decided to leave a day early.

We were the last people to leave as all the others decided to leave even earlier. We went and spoke to the staff on reception who were really nice and even gave us a refund for the last night despite it not being there fault we were leaving.

I would definitely return but not in that kind of weather as the site is located right next to the beach. This would be an amazing site if you have the right weather

Reviewer: Unique0151 10 reviews from this member

 Had a 1 night stopover here on route to France from newhaven to dieppe and found the site was easy to get to and was a good all round experience.

Right on a rocky beach good for fishing (with tackle available to hire)very handy for the ferry port, good flat pitches, and a small bar on site.

Arrival and greeting was easy and very friendly pitches clearly marked and ample water and waste facilities. Not a 5 star site by any means but no complaints at all.

Would definitely use again if ferrying from newhaven.

 Just returned from a wonderful two days stay, even though the weather was wet and windy!

The campsite is right next to the train station so perfect if you wish to pop into Brighton without the car.

We walked along the seafront into the town of Seaford to go to the local supermarket, amazing views of Seven Sisters and miles of pebble beach.

There are clean free showers and toilets on site and a lovely clubhouse. The owners are really friendly and made us feel really welcome.

We had pitch A8 which was as close to the sea as you could get (just up the ramp and there was the sea) We loved it so much we have booked to go again in a couple of weeks!

Reviewer: Mastervan 4 reviews from this member

 Stopped here for two nights as it was shown as right next to the station for us to go into Brighton. It did not disappoint.

The station is about a minute walk but we never heard any train noise.We were met by a very polite lad. The pitch we had was hardstanding and level and the beach was a stones throw away.

The shower/toilet block is a little dated but clean, and you don't spend forever in the shower do you! There was a small clubhouse but we never went in as we are not really drinkers. T

he site looked as if it was expanding a little with a few more pitches being put in.

The chap in the day was also very polite and helpful and we would stop again if we were in the area.
