Having just left Sheepcote Valley after staying five nights on one of the serviced pitches with our motorhome we can honestly say we'd come back no problem. Even though the site was pretty well full it really didn't seem that way, in fact it was very quiet! perhaps it was the fantastic weather and everyone was out enjoying the glorious sunshine in Brighton.
We'd booked our pitch way back in January so we were a bit concerned after reading the reviews as some of them seemed very negative, but after a great welcome from the wardens when we booked in and no problem finding our pitch our concerns started fading. Yes there are issues with the sight but we think they are vastly outweighed by the good things!
Even though the site was full there were hardly any queues for the showers and toilets but the water temperature was 'hit or miss' in the closest toilet block to our pitch, but the facilities were clean as you would expect.
The biggest problem by far was access to the site, even though this is technically not a club problem it does drag down the image of the site! due to the amount of people 'wild camping' along the access road it makes passing nigh on impossible if you encounter another vehicle on the road to the site! The club should approach the issue with the local authority to resolve it asap.
Apart from that Sheepcote is a great site in a great location for Brighton Marina & Brighton itself (use the Volks Railway) to save the walk into town, we walked into Brighton nearly every day and didn't feel threatened by the area as people have mentioned in other reviews - so make your own mind up and give this gem of a site a try, you'll probably be surprised we were!

This is our third stay here and I have to say that it has been disappointing. Our last stay in 2010 we encountered a coach party of 50 school children and thought that this was an isolated incident as the facilities were completely taken over by this group for hours.
Now 2012 4night stay and here we go again except this time a group of Scandinavian lads approximately 30 who took over the facilities and left them in a complete mess and even decided to use the ladies facilities to my moms horror when she went to use the toilet.
The best came at midnight when they began singing altogether which sounded like football fans until 0300 in the morning! ! I think this was appalling and we reported this to the warden the next day.
£114 for 4 nights 2 of which were ruined. I will not be using this site again.
My advice is: the site is clean but facilities are stretched for campers and especially taking large groups (only 4 showers and toilets) and quite expensive.

This was our second visit to this site having been impressed initially. Although it rained almost every day we were there the grass pitch did not flood.
It is a large site but convenient for Brighton and many other parts on the south coast, Hove, Worthing etc. Good dog walks in the vicinity of the site.
TV/mobile reception good aided by TV plug into site ariel system.
Toilets starting to look a bit tired but they were always clean & tidy.
Only downside is that the road giving access to the campsite is always full of cars, motor homes & even caravans which can make entry/egress difficult.

Arrived on a Friday to stay for the weekend. I had been slightly put off by a previous visitor about the route up being full of 'new age travellers'. There were some caravans and motorhomes parked on the approach but they appeared cared for and did not cause me concern. They appeared more like overnight visitors.
It's a big site and was full, but having arrived at 1pm I had plenty of choice. Various types of pitches, some elevated, some with hard standings and some serviced. Some of the vans looked quite snugly packed together, but I chose a hard standing and felt like I had plenty of room.
Shower blocks usual high standard.
Good directions from the reception on buses and route to the Marina.
An easy walk to the marina (about 20 mins). Slightly uphill on the way back. Suitable for motorised wheelchairs and buggies. Loads of restaurants and a weather spoons pub. Memories of India highly recommended.
From the marina to the pier it takes around half an hour.
It's about a 10 minute walk to the bus stops and then £2 for a single ticket. Buses came every 6 to 7 minutes with a notice board giving eta of buses which made them very easy to use.
Very quiet at night no road noise at all.
I would be happy to return to this site.

We spent 4 nights here before do the London to Brighton cycle ride as we have done for the last 2 years. All of our guests who stayed with us thought the site was excellent, There were lots of cyclists on the site doing the ride so quite busy early on Sunday morning.
We stayed on a fully serviced pitch which was a very good location on the site not far from the toilet block or the site entrance.
The site it self is very clean and tidy and the shower/ toilet block were very clean, I never had to wait for a shower even with the site being full for the weekend and the water was always hot when showering.
The Brighton Marina is only a short walk away with some good pubs and restaurants, there is an Asda as well. Brighton centre is a 40 minute walk away along the beach front, there is a small railway which runs to the pier if you don't fancy the walk.
I would definitely recommend this site have been there for the last two years and will definitely be going back.

Stayed here over the Queens Jubilee celebrations for 6 nights. Site full for the whole of our stay. Stayed on a hard standing pitch. Weather mixed during our stay, the pitch did not drain well during the rain. Lots of water lying all around the caravan/awning. Had to walk through large puddles to get into the awning.
Toilet/shower facilities up to usual caravan club standard. Never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a shower despite the site being full. Site itself is nicely set out, set in a valley with trees all around the area.
The approach road could be better, lots of parked motor homes all down one side of the road. Could make it difficult for bigger outfits but luckily never caused us a problem. Does not give a good impression when you are first arriving but don't let it put you off.
Brighton marina is close by, free parking for 4 hours, restaurants, shops, cinema etc available. Parking in Brighton itself is very expensive £10 for four hours or £20 a full day. Other people on the site had a taxi into Brighton, cost was approx £11 each way.
All in all a nice site in a good location. We would return to this site.

This is our second visit to this site, this time deciding to stay for a week. Site was full as it it was the jubilee weekend and half term, although the weather was set to disappoint!
As discovered last year the access road to the site is awful to dive down in a large motorhome/caravan, single lane access past parked commercial vehicles and parked motorhomes. You just have to hope you don't meet somebody coming the other way in a large vehicle. Arrival and check in is a smooth, friendly matter. Drive around the site to then see what pitches are left available.
The site is of typical caravan club standard with a children’s play area, and plenty of service points. Even though the site was full there were no issues with rowdiness, noise or general bad behaviour.
Pitch
There are a number of different pitch types here - basic grass without awning, standard grass, standard hardstanding, and serviced hardstanding. We managed to find a hardstanding pitch which is what we wanted knowing the weather wasn't going to be on our side. There are some hardstandings on the first immediate left turn as you enter the campsite adjacent to the tall trees which provide very good shelter from high winds and rain. They would probably be a bit shaded in the sun though. Good for autumn/winter use. Our pitch was large and level and of very good quality.
Ablutions
There are two toilet blocks which are each closed for 1 hour a day for cleaning - no big issue there. They were both very clean and functional with good powerful showers without the annoying push for water buttons. I suppose the blocks are getting on a bit - same as some of us! However I had no issues with their condition or cleanliness. Good caravan club standard - but not new.
Location
The site is in a really good location about 15 minute’s uphill walk from Brighton Marina in the valley. The marina area has plenty of restaurants and an ASDA. There are also other shops nearby. There is easy access along the seafront for a long walk or 10 minute cycle into Brighton with all it's attractions. There is a bus nearby for those who wish to use it. Excellent location for walking/dog walking in the immediate vicinity with a reasonable walk to the top of the valley for some nice views. Driving in Brighton is congested with expensive parking especially the NCP carparks - better to avoid these.
Summary
This is still one of my favourite caravan club sites with a very good location for access to countryside, beach and city. You do pay a premium for this site at peak periods considering the facilities on site (CC facilities not commercial sites) but the whole package is worth it for ease of access to all that Brighton and the area has to offer. We will be back again next year!

Very nice place near Brighton. Tents had their own toilet block and facilities at big and nice grass area. Everything was clean and well kept.
Shops and restaurants very close by. You can easily walk or cycle to get some food.
Only negative point is that, I was charged £21 for a night and WiFi was £5 for 5 hours. Here it says that tents are £12. That is big difference.
In the nature near big city that is well acceptable.

We stayed here for one night on the camp site pitches in the top field. There was only 1 other tent around and that was in the field below ours.
The site was clean and had very good amenities. The site was in a prime location to Brighton pier which we walked on a beautiful summer day, however be warned we did stroll onto the nudist part of Brighton beach totally unaware!
The price did seem a bit on the high side, we paid £32 pounds for one night, but we had a great time in Brighton.
The camp site had an abundance of wildlife, rabbits where hopping around oblivious to people, and we even spotted a fox.
All in all a great place to stay, great amenities in close range, and good facilities for children.

We spent five nights after Easter at Sheepcote Valley CC site and if this is indicative of Caravan Club sites we're going to be happy members!
Loos and showers were scrupulously clean. Site was well ordered and kept.
Great location for Brighton and the Marina. Weather could have been better (but absolutely could have been worse)!
Thanks for those other caravanners who came to our rescue (awning tips and gas advice)!
We were happy to provide the entertainment (and strange use of old Anglo Saxon English) whilst erecting our full awning! :)
