 Visited two chimmneys, nice clean site, toilets and showers good, playpark fab for little ones and the pool was nice. Only gripe- no papers in the site shops and noise from other campers EARLY morning.
Def camp there again. Plenty of space per unit and nice takeaway outlet on site.

This is the second time we have visited this site, and we have always had a great time. We have always stayed in the small field at the top of the site, which is excellent and sheltered for the kids to play in the park, without me having to worry about them.
The toilet facilities at the top field are always clean and a warden does come around to check noise levels and kick the kids out of the play area when it is dark.
The launderette facilities are a bit ropey, and I thought that even though I washed things, the machines didn't get clean. Dryers are expensive, at 50p or £1 a go depending on which machine you use.
Swimming pool was good, although at some points very overcrowded.
I heard a rumour that the top field was going to be filled with statics next year, which is a big shame. I would not go back if this is the case, as the field at the front of the park is very open and has pylons buzzing overhead.

Visited the site with two young children for two nights (monday & tuesday). Camp site very clean, swimming pool small but useable.
Entertainment not exactly riveting, on the monday the bloke with his organ managed to clear the bar very early on, although I have to add I don't think he actually played it once. He just used preset tunes and the CD on it.
The outdoor play area was well looked after. Pitches are all marked and very reasonably sized. The field itself is huge and flat can see kids long way off.
Expensive at £20 per night, but would go back for sure, but this time take the kids bikes as such a large flat area for them.

The roads leading to the site were a little on the narrow side, but not single track by any means. Just a bit tight if you have a wide motorhome or caravan. The entrance to the park itself was really welcoming, nice and clear and wide enough to swing in from any direction. On arrival, if you don't know where you are going, you have to pull up and go to reception, but there are no bays or waiting area to pull into while you do this, so you have to pull over as far as you can to allow others to pass.
The touring/camping fields were fairly large, and we had one of the five hard standing pitches, which cost us £18 per night for three adults. It had water, electricity and a small drain where you could empty your washing up water or drain off grey water. I'm told there was a motorhome service point, but not sure exactly where that was. Our pitch was large, but everyone kept walking across it to get to the toilet block. Although it was nice to be so close to them, it would have been nice to have had a trellis or some kind of screen infront of the doors, so that anyone on our pitch didn't have a prime view into the toilets, watching people washing etc.
Didn't hear too much noise, even at night. Some of the grass pitches looked rather small to us. One group had a large tent with a car next to it. The pitch next door would have been lucky to get just one caravan on, (with no room for a car beside it) or a tunnel tent (with difficulty & no room for guy lines).
The pitches really needed marking out, even if only sprayed on the ground, as people seemed to take as much space as they needed, even if it meant others lost out. The pool looked ok, although was empty of people when we saw it.
There is a burger bar/van type arrangement with an out door seating area. The prices and food were excellent, alhough a proper marquee to eat under would have been better than the make shift affair with constantly oversized flapping tarpaulin over it.
The park was very well kept and very clean. I'd happily go back there again.

We arrived at the campsite to be met by friendly staff. The campsite facilities were immaculate. My 2 boys (10+13) took advantage of the pool and the amusement arcade. It was a real family friendly place to be.
I will DEFINATELY be going back, hopefully in a couple of weeks. This was my 1st camping experience and it was a really positive one. My parents dog enjoyed it too.

Campsite was very clean and tidy, Showers were free and very clean.
Pool was under cover and nice and warm for little ones, (but under eighteens have to be watched) so i had to go to the pool with my 8, 10, 13 years old and sit with them, some perants don't want to do this ( but i suppose it's for safty as there is no one to watch them).
Nothing was open for us, (no bar only weekends). The shop was closed, airport close by so there were airplanes going over until 9 at night. We were right by a road so it was noisy.
We would not visit this camp site again as there was nothing for the children to do and nothing for us to do unless we was staying for the weekend, I must say the site for pitching was lovely and pegs went in really easy.

Stayed here May half term week, for 3 nights. It was our first camping trip and had chosen the site because of its good reviews. I can only echo what previous reviews have said. A wonderful friendly, very clean site with level pitches and excellent facilities, in a good location near to some lovely beaches which the children loved.
Will definitely stay here again. Only complaint was the hairdryer in the ladies didn't work, (lost a couple of 20p's trying) but as they had hand dryers still managed to get hair dry!

We went for mayday bank holiday for 2 nights and had a really good time there are 2 lovely play areas , covered in swimming pool with smaller pool for little ones. Lovely area for taking the dog although they are not allowing dogs from 2006. Lovely well stocked shop, arcade room & nice clubhouse where there is always something happening at night. The takeaway was also very nice so all in all a very good site. We are going back again next bank holiday.

This was our first camping experience, we had never camped before - let alone with 2 small children.
The campsite was excellent, it was clean, child friendly and had plenty of sandy beaches to visit in the local area.
We would definately recommend it and will be going back ourselves.

Two chimneys was small compact but absolutley lovely, the checking in was nice and easy which was pleasing with all the screaming kids in the car, the pitches easy to find and we had quite a bit of room even tho it did fill up quite quick probably as it seemed very popular. The pools were really lovely and everything we in the same area. Showers were effecient and spotless it was just a shame there was only three in the block as there were queues, nevertheless, we really enjoyed it and will DEFINATLEY go back again. RECOMMENDED!!

21st July 2004
Our first ever camping trip in our new trailer tent.Lovely campsite. Very quiet as holiday season hadn't started yet but can imagine it would be very noisy in the height of the season. Every thing was very clean. Only 2 faults I had was reception was closed from 12.30 - 1.30pm and we got there at 12-35 so had to wait round but the security man did let us onto the pitch as I knew what one i had been given. If I hadnt known i would have had to wait round for an hour which would have been a pain.
The other fault was no soap anywhere in any of the toilets. But as we are new campers we were told that you have to take your own into the toilets which was ok. Then we went to the bar in the evening and went to the loo and no soap in there either. Nothing on walls ie. soap dispensers and no soap anywhere to be seen. I thought this a bit bad as the bar sold chocolate and crisps so surely they should provide soap in the toilet? Are you expected to carry your own soap to the bar as well?
Other than that everything was very nice. They had a Smokey Joes diner takeaway and the food was lovely, couldn't fault it and everyone in our party complemented the owner and the prices were reasonable too considering it is a holiday place.
Our electric hook up pitch Tentspace was fine. Didn' find any problems as we didn' have anyone near us.
The new toilet block is now open and was 50 metres away from us and was always empty when I eeded a shower. The showers were free in here and were always hot but did have notice saying that they may go cold first thing in morning and early evening but if anything they were too hot at times. May be different when it' the height of the season. If you want constantly hot water at these times in the height of the season there are 2 other shower blocks that charge you 10p.
Couldnt really fault anything else as everything was clean and people were helpful. There is cctv on site. The pool area is nice although pool a little small but lovely and warm and could get overcrowded in the height of the season but we had no problems. We were near the road but heard no noise from traffic in the night.
A lovely site and i would return in the low/mid season as i think it would get too packed in the high season for me.

Lovely site, really clean showers toilets etc, all round park. Small, but quite well stocked shop, (no papers or magazines etc though). Park area was great for the kids. There are 2 tent fields, one is more sheltered than the other, the non- sheltered field is also under electricity pylons, and right next to road. Take your own food, as on site take-away wasn't fantastic. Had a great stay, and look forward to a return visit. Recommend happily!

A lovely well equipped campsite with all you need for a great stay. There is a very nice outside pool, amusement arcade, bar and shop on site and it has a real holiday camp feel. Nice friendly owners and plenty of room in the touring field. The facilities are very clean, however there are no draining boards in the washing up room only sinks with wooden shelves so it would be an idea to take some sort of draining rack with you.
We will definately return to the site but will stay longer next time to enjoy the pool.

Late May Bank Holiday 2004
The campsite is clean and tidy, we didn't book and they were happy to give us a tent pitch for one night with no hookup, paid £2.00 each for 2 dogs £18 for pitch. The playgrounds are good for kids and the pool is small but central, kids must have adult supervision whatever level of swimming ability. Field was very dry and hard to peg, places small, tripped over wires etc. There are no clear instructions as to where to pitch and it is not well marked.
The showers were clean but not always hot.

July 2003
I took myself and my 2 kids for a weekend here in that hot summer of 2003. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the play area in the camp field and the heated outdoor swimming pool. The entertainment was good in the clubhouse with something different every night. My only gripes were that the shop on site didn't seem to have much in provision. The other gripe was that although the camping field was flat the ground was absolutely rock solid and dry and it took me more than 1/2 the day trying to peg the tent. So if you go in summer, make sure you take some extra pegs just in case. Other than that the facilities were very good in the washrooms and toilets and were clean and spacious. Good base for exploring the south coast, but not for a quiet life, I dont think!
