 Just come back from a fabulous 2 weeks at this site. First time visited. The closeness to the beach was superb and the kids (13,10 and 7) were in the sea twice a day. The area of Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill were spotlessly clean and well kept.
We were near the old toilet block and agree with the comments about the hot water.
It was very busy and we did have a few concerns about a significant number of cars which ignored the one way system and drove at speeds nearer 10/15 mph. The units were closely aligned but main issues here were with the campers who 'extended' their pitches (eg: caravan, awning then windbreaks to within a metre of other units. There were even 3 cars on some pitches - I say this because we have been told by other C&CC site wardens we cannot have more than 1 on a pitch) - all of these were seen but not acted on by the wardens.
Having said this we would definitely go again as the location and the area are well worth the visit.

This was our first visit to this site with my family of two adults plus kids age 11, 9 & 4. We chose this site having read other reviews on this website so unusually thought that I would post a comment on our experience.
I booked over the phone just before we left home, we are not members of the camping club but even so the lady taking the details was very nice and did not have any issue with this. On arrival we were well looked after and shown our pitch by a helpful man to a flat site with lots of space around with good well draining ground conditions that took a peg well.
All the other campers were really nice with no late night noise and it was great to wake up only to hear the waves and birds at 7-00 rather than noisy campers.
The toilet blocks were both up to scratch (Although the new one was nicer!) loads of hot water (Too hot for little ones though!), the location next to the beach was good and the small play area was enough to keep the kids amused when we were getting things ready.
We went to Hastings one day, the caves, castle and seafront were great, Bodiam castle was a little further but the kids liked seeing one that was not 'All fallen down' and personally, I went for a run each morning to Pevensey castle which was lovely. A really good few days, would definitely recommend and will be coming again :-)

Site was excellent although can be windy, and I mean windy ! Take your storm pegs !
We were located near the newer toilet and shower block, although modern and clean the showers are not the greatest. We also had older kids playing around the block until around 10.30 at night and could get a bit noisy.
The shop has all you need in an emergency but supermarkets are close by (on the way to Eastbourne). The staff are helpful but not as friendly as other club sights.
On the whole a good site that is well kept and tidy. Pitches can be close together if busy, but on the whole the location makes this site. Would definitely return.

We have just returned from a two week stay at Normans Bay. As you would expect the facilities are always spotless and plenty of hot water. We were near the new blocks at the far end so cannot comment on the older block. As mentioned before it can get very windy. Newspapers can be ordered from the site shop.
Pevensey Bay is mile and half walk either along the road or beach. Lovely bakers, 3 pubs, post office, Boots a bank and a convenience store among others. If you use public transport the bus goes every 20 mins. The bus stop nearest the site is every hour. We used the train a lot too, also every hour from Normans Bay station.
Recycling facilities in Pevensey Bay in the car park near the Chinese Restaurant.

Love Norman's Bay, just down the road from us so we used this site to get to grips with camping. We had a wonderful time, lots of help from other campers! Good play area for smaller children, right opposite the beach for everyone else! Good dog walking area too. Fantastic facilities, best yet.
Very flat site, which makes it a bit windy, and also as its so close to the railway line can be noisy, but not at night. Well stocked shop with fresh croissants and bread each day as well as all the other 'essentials' newspapers and other items including camping equipment, toys, beach stuff etc. Good place to go exploring from. Recommend this site to old and new campers, enjoy!

We took our first trip out in the new MH and visited Norman's Bay. Despite the site being very busy and the pitches are quite close together we did not feel too packed in, it wasn't noisy and we never had to queue for the facilities. The newer showers at the end of the site are nicer than the older building in the middle but both are perfectly acceptable.
Having the beach right next to the site is fantastic, we took bikes and had a nice ride over to Pevensey bay and Castle too.
Must be good, have just booked for the next bank holiday weekend.

Great site, right next to the beach. Can be a bit windy which we found when putting up trailer tent but we had a good laugh. Staff were helpful and little shop had everything you could think of. If you need anything Eastbourne is not far away.
My only criticism is that the old toilet/shower block needs updating. The hot water was very hot, which was nice but the showers were a let down, it was a dribble rather than a shower. They were very clean though. Not much for kids to play on, but the beach and good weather made up for that.

A lovely beach site - the kids loved the playground area and the staff were very helpful!
The site was really windy as other reviewers have mentioned so be prepared!
We also found the water very very hot and needed to supervise children when using it!
I think we may have picked a bad weekend as the music from a nearby venue went on until the early hours of the morning.
Nonetheless we would definitely return!

Bit late posting this review, if you have read the others you will know that this site has absolutely beautiful views out towards the English Channel. There is a short walk to a stone filled beach - (walk a bit further towards Folkestone and you will find a lovely sandy 'cove' - Can't comment on the swimming - it was still a bit nippy at the time :-)
The camp shop is stocked with the usual essentials and are reasonably priced. We were pitched quite near to the shower blocks/toilets which some children decided would make a great 'youth club' on one particular evening but it was full marks to the wardens who dealt with the situation with the minimum of fuss ;-)
The Wardens were very friendly and helpful they made themselves 'busy' amongst all of the campers making sure that everyone was enjoying their stay.
Toilets cleaned regularly (mop & bucket available all day too)
To comment on some other posters observations:
We never saw or heard of anyone seeing any rats during our stay
Yes, other people were 'wild camping' on the beach - no worries though - apparently this is a usual thing during school holiday time - can't knock them I'm afraid - would have probably done the same thing given the chance when I was younger :-)
One last thing - don't rely on the Sat Nav - use campsites instructions online at the C&CC

Stayed here for four days, this is a nice site right on the beach, the staff are friendly and helpful, and I have never seen such a well stocked site shop. They had everything, there is a fish a chip van that comes to site on Saturday evenings . Nice chips. The site can be a bit windy but I suppose this is the price you pay for being on the beach. The toilets/showers are old but are clean and serve the purpose they are there for. Be warned the water in the washing up part is VERY hot.
The site is well located , Sovereign harbour is less than 10 mins down the road with a 24hr ASDA, cinema restaurants etc, and Pevensey Castle is just as close and well worth a visit.

Nice site stayed for 4 nights helpful staff. Nice clean toilets and showers but I agree with the other review the water pressure on the showers is a bit low. The onsite shop has a selection of essentials. Not much in the way of shops in peversly the off licence has a limted choice of wines. But ASDA is only 10 min away and I believe is 24 hr.
My only complaint about the site and its not their fault is the wind, when it gets up it gets going.
Would visit there again

This was our very first camping experience!
We found the site great with really good facilities.
We were directed to a pitch near the facilities at the end of the site and given clear instructions on what direction to pitch to maintain the 6m rule. The ground was fairly flat but moles had made it lumpy in places! Site is very close to the railway line so can hear the trains going through.
There were plenty of toilets which were always immaculate. Plenty of basins and 3 showers (there was another block at the other end of the field.) The showers were hot but water pressure was a little low. There was a washing up area consisting of 3 large sinks which were very clean each time I used them. Opposite was a laundry with 2 washing machine and 2 dryers. £2 for a wash load and 50p for 20 mins drying. There was a large recreation room with a sofa large table and a table tennis table. Didn't see it used as weather was so good!
Very small children's play area but my children were pefectly happy as were all the children they played with!
Private beach opposite site which was popular for fishing.
The site had a small shop which opened at 7.30am each morning selling most basics. A fish and chip van visited on Saturday evening.
There are a few shops in Pevensey but Eastbourne is only 10min drive with all the shops you could need!
Really enjoyed our first camping trip and would definitely go again!

Stayed here for 2 nights.
A well maintained site with newly resurfaced access road. Clean toilet and shower facilities. Friendly helpful site staff. Small shop selling basics. Dog walk at rear of site rather boggy and wet.
We walked to the Star pub along a stretch of busy narrow road east of Normans Bay station but were unable to take our dog into the pub so had to sit outside on a cold blustery day.
Walking along the pebble beach to Pevensey was tough going about mile and a half but we had a nice meal in the Bay Hotel and dog friendly to.
We enjoyed the site but found the surrounding area not that suitable for dog walking unless you want to walk miles on pebbles, not kind on you or your dogs legs and feet, not much in the way of countryside walking but hey this site is all about its location virtually on the beach, great for kids. Being right on the beach inevitably means wind so be prepared.
We ordered a chinese takeaway delivered to site from the menu in the info area, Happy Dragon I think, great value, great meal recommended. All in all a pretty good site.

This was our first camping trip in a borrowed tent, therefore our first camping site, the owners made it a very pleasant experience and made sure that we were close to the shower block, the showers were nice and clean and the water was warm though not hot, but certainly sufficient, there were times when we had to wait for a shower but not that long. Toilets were clean,
As it is Eastbourne and the site is only a few yards from the Seafront it was quite windy, something to remember about Eastbourne it is known as windy city. On the last night it poured with rain and can say that the whole area was well drained, we certainly did not end up covered in mud whilst we were taking down the tent.
It is a bit off the beaten track and the road is a bit bumpy heading towards the site.
The site is not that far from Pevensey Bay which is full of restaurants and take aways, perfect if you don't feel like cooking and there is an Asda about 5 miles down the road towards Eastbourne next to the Marina, which again has lots of excellent restaurants. There is also a launderette in Pevensey Bay if needed.
We will definitely be going back to stay at this campsite.

What a brilliant campsite! Only 50 yards from the beach. Great dishwashing facilities and good toilets. What is also nice is being able to hear the sea when inside the tent. Nice shop with every thing you could possibly want to go camping.
The Sun Pub is not too far away, as the pub once served as a campsite but now is only for caravans. What a shame.
