Stayed here on Easter Weekend, following a nightmare where we discovered that a booking we had made at another nearby site turned out to be on a very sloping tent pitch where we would have been totally unable to level our twin-axle!
Fortunately Kloofs were able to fit us in on a full-service pitch (due to a cancellation I believe) and we had a ball. So much so that we are going back on August Bank Holiday weekend so we can visit the Medieval Weekend at Herstmonceux Castle with the grand-children.
As previously reported, the facilities are clean and well presented, the wardens are lovely and the site is pretty, tidy and above all, quiet!
Okay, first things first. If arriving at Kloofs from the north, do not be tempted to take the route via Peartree Lane; it's just about wide enough for two cars to pass in three or four places, so taking a 'van down there would be a nightmare! The route via Sidley takes about 15 minutes extra, if that, and provides a completely stress free arrival/departure!
This site has been significantly landscaped since we were last here (about 6 years ago!), and very much for the better. There are a number of hardstandings and semi-gravel pitches for tourers, but still plenty of grass for tents. Most pitches are separated from their neighbour by small hedgerows or planters. Whilst the Paddocks are sloping, most pitches are levelled by way of low terracing. Drainage is good, so despite a fair amount of rain falling we only had any issues with mud round the entrance to our awning (which we could have avoided with a bit of forethought!). I think it would have been a touch crowded if the site had been full, but it wasn't, so we had lots of space to enjoy! There is a small, but well equipped, children's play area ideal to keep kiddies busy.
Pitches are a reasonable size, and most are serviced for tourers. Having said that, we only had EHU; this brings about a whinge I'm afraid. There are no water service points available for general use; we had to fill our water from another (fortunately empty) pitch, and then empty our waste on a different (fortunately empty) pitch. It was rather bizarre. We asked the wardens, who were equally as perplexed; they were working here for the first time, and it was an issue that hadn't been raised before.
There is a 'new' toilet block in the lower field, which is ideal if you don't fancy a walk up the hill. However, there is no hot water, and no lights, so be careful after dark! There are showers, but we were warned by the wardens when we arrived that they were faulty and the 'man that can' couldn't (fix them) until after the Easter break. There was, however, a sign nailed across them saying that they were closed for the summer season, so not sure what is going on there. You can empty toilet cassettes here, but there is no tap to fill and rinse, so remember to either take a container to get water out of the block to use, or prepare for a walk to the top block!
What is very handy in this block is a doggy shower, without which we would have been scrubbing dirt out of our van all week, and a drying space for towels etc. There is also a dishwasher, which we didn't use, as it costs £4; we did all our washing up in our van as it's a bit difficult to wash dirty plates and pans without hot water.
The 'upper' facilities are much better - hot water, and lots of it. Only three male toilets, cubicles and showers (push button, but no limits), but we never queued. The ladies had about the same, but my good lady cannot remember whether it was 4 or 5! Having said that, everyone seemed to leave the day we were arriving, so site only about a quarter full. Facilities always very clean and warm, with large shower cubicles. Also had washing machine and tumble drier, plus plenty of space for washing dishes and preparing food. These facilities definitely get a 'thumbs up'.
The wardens, Glyn & Gloria, were top notch, they couldn't be more helpful. We did ask for a different pitch to that allocated when we first arrived, and Glyn walked down with us, and then walked round the site, checking which ones were free to use, and which ones weren't. In the event, we ended up staying on the allocated pitch (yes, I know, awkward), but not a grumble from Glyn, and both stopped for a chat whenever they saw us throughout the week. Really cracking service.
Would thoroughly recommend a visit to the village of Battle nearby (scene of the Battle of Hastings), with a walk round the Abbey.
With a couple of minor gripes about the lower toilet block, and water point situation, we would thoroughly recommend this site. The small shop sells some essentials, but there are plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways locally if required. If walking is your thing, there are walks in abundance nearby, or plenty of things to do within a reasonable drive from the site, including a good bit of coastline.
The site itself is well presented and kept, and it's just a shame about the minor issues mentioned above.
Stayed here after a recommendation. It was a bank holiday so quite full and cramped. I found the pitch quite small for my unit but nice to have water and drainage on it.
The lower toilet block which was raved about was a disappointment due to dim lighting, no hot water, one adult mens urinal and showers closed.
The thing I could not understand was why have laundry, dog shower, mens, womens toilet and showers, dish washing and baby changing all under one roof in an open space? I was washing my dishes when a lady changed her babys nappies right next to me!
The top toilet block worked and was spacious but everything is set to minimum, 10 second shower between each button press and 6 second hand drier. That's if you can find anything in the dark.
The staff are nice, its very tidy but the shops fridge wasn't working so no BBQ meats on sale. Nice countryside and clean beaches nearby. Would come back for the beach but not for that toilet block!
The two reasons for choosing Kloofs caravan park one it has some great reviews and open in February
And the second that Sussex is a very nice area to visit.
Sussex has so much to offer castles, history and some beautiful countryside to explore
This area will be visited by us again but not this site.
Ok 1st things 1st most of the reviews which we read are a very good guide to our choosing places to visit followed by a phone call to check just what the site is like and get a feel for the people who own or run them.
Due to our bad choice in December we made sure we would get a hard standing pitch & guess what we did not get one what we got was grass with a plastic mesh underneath.
Too late to go home so let’s make the most of it.
On arrival no sign of the friendly help as others have mentioned I got a man at the end of a phone telling me to find a pitch on the left down the path. Ok had worse
Most of the site was covered in Ice/snow so could not get water from the fully serviced pitch no one’s fault.
Day 2 no sign off a visit from anyone to see if we were ok (not what I would have expected)
Shower were very nice the push button type the furthest one from the door last 6 second between pushes only used that one once told staff.
Very clean the shop was very low on stock but that’s ok for the time of year.
My main gripe was that the owner has decided to store caravans on the hard standing pitches during the winter and leave the occasional visitor to fend on the muddy pitches they may justify this because we only paid £212. 00 and maybe winter storage pays more.
But the fact is we would have liked hard standing as advertised.
The 16 amp was good
There is no lighting on this site at night except on the toilet block great for star watching but not when you are trying to get to the shower with ice and snow.
When I meet the staff in the end they were nice and the lady with the five dogs was nice to chat to
When in the area check out Battle and Bodiam castle Bexhill has a large supermarket
We visited Kloofs for a week, the first week in August 2011.
The site is on quite a steep hillside, but the pitches have been fairly well levelled. When booking you are given an option to book a large pitch, quiet pitch, pitch near to the facilities etc. And we were very lucky that they were able to allocate all of our requests. The pitches are also screened by shrubs and trees giving a sense of privacy
Every serviced pitch has a brick built barbecue and fresh water and drainage as standard. They also don't mind you having small fires in a fire-pit or similar, so long as no damage is done to the property
The staff were lovely - smiley, nothing too much trouble, gave lots of good information about the site upon arrival and the shop was well stocked with all of the essentials.
The only minor criticism was that there was no hot water in the lower block but this was a very minor thing. There was a dishwasher, drying room, dog shower, child and adult toilet and a bidet?
Never seen a bidet on a camp site before but they do cater to quite a large Netherlands population and bidets tend to be more commonplace in continental homes, so perhaps that's what that was about?
There's a washing machine for extra dirty stuff and in the upper block, there was plenty of hot water, good showers, an excellent family shower facility, washing up facilities, a washing machine and tumble dryer. You really do want for nothing.
There was only one disadvantage with our pitch and that was it's location was at the bottom of a hill and though the people on the camp site observed the 22.00 - 07.00 quiet times, we did have every child with a bike and scooter zooming past, without any adult supervision, falling off in some cases and there being many tears until dusk, especially at weekends.
The location is great for Battle, Hastings, the Cinque Ports and there's lots to do, we even went to Margate, Canterbury and Brighton/Eastbourne - all about a couple of hours away, using the camp site as a base.
Finally, if you book make sure you read the information they send you, if you are towing a van. You really dont't want to go the way the SAT NAV directs you, as you'll possibly get stuck and be in a right pickle if you meet something coming the other way along the single track.
Set in 500 acres of beautiful, rolling Kent countryside. The Oast village on site is the World's largest Oast house collection and makes for a spectacular backdrop. Grass and hardstanding pitches for caravans, tents and motorhomes with electric option. Modern toilets and showers and multiple washing up facilities.
Small shop onsite and pub/restaurant at the entrance. The River Medway flows through the site, providing idyllic waterside pitches. Make the most of the location and try your hand at canoeing or fishing or simply sit back, unwind and enjoy wildlife spotting. Five minutes' drive from Paddock Wood station and trains to London Find out more here
We have just come home from 11 nights at Kloofs. This site must be the cleanest site we have ever been to.
On arrival we were escorted to our pitch and informed of what space was for us to use. We were shown the lower and upper toilet blocks and washing up sinks were.
The children loved the play area(5 and 3. )We were happy to let them just go off and play.
There is a shop on site that sells all your everyday needs and you can order newspapers if you want to.
The pitch was a good size (a large pitch was requested when we booked the holiday. )
There are afew issues with the site but only little things.
1) In the lower toilet block there is no hot water.
2) Only 2 washing up sinks with hot water in the upper block so there was a need to queue sometimes.
3) The location of the site is very nice but the way our sat nav took us was down a single track road. (we were ok as we just had the tent but I wouldn't like to drive down there with a caravan on the back. )
On the site they have quiet time from 22. 00 to 07. 00 and everyone seemed to take notice of this.
The site is located within easy reach of Eastbourne and Batle. Both are very nice places for a day out.
All in all we had a great time and we would recommend the site!
Congratulations to Kloofs for bringing a bit of Europe to the South East. Caravans were well positioned on fairly level pitches which were surrounded by shrubs making them feel more private. We were facing into a grassed area used by tents. The pitch we had was serviced with grey waste drainage and water. A picnic bench was provided on all pitches and a BBQ stand was also available for using disposable BBQ's. Shop had all essentials but no fresh fruit and veg! But the roadside stalls and farm shops in the area made up for that. Staff were very friendly, taking us to our pitch and calling around later to check everything was alright. Close to Hastings, Battle and Eastbourne, lots to see and do. Facilities were very good and hot water was always available in the showers. At 10pm all went quite and stayed that way until 8-9am. Well done to Kloofs.
Just returned from first visit to Kloofs (three vans, two tents, 8 adults, two kids, two dogs). We were on two fully serviced pitches, with the tents and small van on grass area so we were all together. It is a lovely site, well looked after, clean, tidy, with loads of recycling bins, and a lovely herb garden for your barbie. Each pitch has a brick barbie stand and a bench/table set, which is a great idea and very handy.
The staff were very friendly (thanks, Tracey), and there is a good shop with camping stuff, etc, where we ordered papers each day. There is a field for running the dogs, but the hill is very steep to get back, and there are footpaths direct from the site. Make sure you take note of the driving directions when towing, and do not go north from the A259 (single track lanes with horses, horse boxes etc).
Not keen on the darkened loos and cold water in the lower block though. I understand the green angle but it is not a cheap site, and safety should be a priority. I would not like my kids going to the block alone; how about the lights that come on when someone walks in and go off when they leave? There are other loos however, and all are spotless. Our friend's dog needed the dog shower, and the dish washer could be handy with a crowd.
The local Chinese delivered on Saturday as some of our group wanted to watch the footie.
Not far from supermarkets, butcher, baker, etc, and we visited Bexhill for lunch in the De La Warr Pavillion, which was stunning.
We stayed at Kloofs for a weekend break on 8th April 2011. 5 Adults no children, 2 dogs.
Positives: good access by car to park. Helpful and friendly staff, nice big pitch, very clean, nice seating area and space for BBQ. Clean toilets and luxury main shower block with underfloor heating.
Quiet and peaceful for the time of year.
Nearby Tesco and shops and banks.
Negatives: lower toilet and shower block needed more lighting in the evenings as it was too dark when using, however good dog washing facilities to use during the day.
Would come back to Kloofs again and recommend to all.
Another great night at Kloofs, although it's not far from home it's a nice site for us to get away for 1 night. The hard standing pitches were all good but the grass was very muddy, but what do you expect in early March! Each pitch has it's own BBQ stand and picnic bench which is a nice touch. The toilets and showers were spotless and the heating turned up high, nice on a cold morning. The washing up room has 2 large basins and again the heating was up high, didn't go in the shop so can't comment on that. A recommended site.

Well I have to say we ( husband and wife ) were delighted with the site. We are fairly new to motor homing and we were made to feel welcome as everything was explained very well.The site is very clean and well laid out. Some reviews say that the pitches are a bit close together ok, yes a bit, but very well presented with BBQ stand and a wooden picnic style table and chairs.
The loos etc were immaculate and if we had needed a washing machine etc that was all well thought out as well. Lady in the shop was very helpful. Well done we will come again.
Had a lunch at the cooden beach hotel after a long walk and that was pretty good as well.
Only one thing worth noting on the negative side if you are a light sleeper ask for a pitch that doesn't back onto the surrounding lane. Wasn't a problem for us but might wake some people it's not busy but you do hear the traffic when it passes.
Another lovely weekend at Kloofs. A warm and friendly reception and then shown to our choice of pitch. All pitches have electric, water, picnic bench and brick BBQ stand.
The showers and toilet were spotless as usual. The shop seems well stocked but we didn't buy anything so I don't know about prices. We don't have kids but the play area looked fairly new and the kids seemed safe running around the site. The site was silent by 10.00/10.15.
In the morning had breakfast in the sun at our picnic bench enjoying the bird song.
My only concern is the site looks like it could be fairly cramped if all the pitches are in use.
Overall a great site and we will certainly return without hesitation.
Great campsite, very accommodating as there were 4 units and we wanted to be together. The staff will go out of there way to help you. The pitches are of a generous size and we had fully services pitches.
Great for the children, with the playarea, we could safely let the kids go off and play.The facilities are fantastic, warm, spotless. Great location for exploring the local area.
This would be a great site for a winter trip with it being open all year round and having heated toilet blocks and showers. First Class and worth the money. We will be going back.
Just returned from 5 nights here, it was quite a good site, the staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly.
The main WC and shower facilities were clean and spacious. However, the lower toilets could do with some proper lighting as it was very off-putting using them after dark. There was no hot water in the lower block so had to walk up to the main block to wash up every night, also it would appear that the showers in this lower block have not been working properly since May 2010, so there was quite a long queue as there were only 3 showers in the main block.
We found the pitches were too close together, resulting in you hearing every noise and word spoken in your neighbour's tent and due to being pitched so close there was no room for the children to play ball games.
The children's play area had excellent climbing frames, but it had not been finished and the ground was stones and rocks, so if a child had fallen off the end of the slide or one of the climbing frames then they could have been seriously hurt.
Safe flooring is essential, also a gate is a must to ensure the safety of little ones as they play, the park opens onto a road, although not used very often, cars and vans did come down it. On the whole quite a good site, but felt it pricey for having no hot water or showers in the lower block.
This site is excellent. The kids are safe to roam the site. It has a family shower room and a shower block by the reception, there is also a toilet block in the middle of the site. These are very clean. Childrens playground is set in the middle of the site. Reception has everything you need from tent pegs to breakfast cereals.
Bexhill village is a short distance away and has co-op, a take away and post office. Hastings is about 10 miles from the site.There are lots of things to do there. Eastbourne is about 12 miles away. Battle is about 8 miles away. Lots of history to be seen.
Its a very clean site. The wardens are very helpful and very friendly. I went here and used my trailer tent for the first time and they offered to help. I will be definitely be going back to this site next year. Great value for money.Top marks.Thank you
