 Excellent campsite and would recommend. Staff friendly and helpful consider we booked at very last minute. Great pitches allocated (went with friends who had never camped before). Children's playing park a bit small but liked it as you very unlikely to loss them!
Pitches were reasonably flat and located near to the facilities without it being too near.
The facilities we were located next too could do with a bit of modernisation however the other facilities on site were excellent on a 'walk-about' of the site. The campsite was just the right size to give it that family feel.
Would definitely return!

We purchased a campervan and wanted to give it a quick test run. We decided not to go too far from home and so travelled along the coast from our home in Eastbourne to Normans Bay.
We weren't able to book a 1 night stay in advance and so arrived at just after lunchtime.
We were greeted at reception by friendly staff and were directed to a space on the site not far from the entrance.
The toilet and shower block was cleaned between 2.30 and 3.30 everyday and was not an unpleasant place to use. The kitchen area for washing up was adequate and kept clean. Have to admit not sure if I would want to have stayed on a very busy week (Sardines in a tin spring to mind).
Not a lot of shelter if windy but you would expect that from a site just across the road from the beach. Small shop selling many day to day bits and bobs not much in the way of shops in non driving distance from the site but this does have its advantages if you want to get away from it all. If you wanted to go further afield walk to the near by station and arrive in Eastbourne in less than 10 minutes.
Certainly would visit again for a quick getaway and would recommend it to family and friends.

Well laid out site with clean modern facilities although there could have been more showers. Close to the beach (so a bit windy) but plenty to do in the surrounding area including the castle at pevensey. A wide selection of pubs and places to eat if you can't light the bbq!

We just spent six nights at Normans bay and had a really lovely time.
The staff were all very helpful and friendly and took great pride in the site.
The toilets and showers were spotless with plenty of hot water, but you did have to run around to get wet in the two showers in the block we were nearest to!
The shop is small but well stocked and Asda is only a couple of miles away as is a cinema for those rainy days.
We pitched next to the play park ( the smallest i've ever seen!) which my two boys loved as there was always someone to play with.
The beach is excellent, in the morning and evening at low tide its quite sandy and then at high tide it's covered in pebbles which kept the kids entertained throwing them in the sea, its also great for kite flying and lots of people were fishing.
If that's not to your liking Eastbourne and Hastings are not too far away.
We also spend a day at nearby Drusilla's park which we all enjoyed.
The road around the site is pot holed but you can clearly see the efforts to repair it and if you stick to the 5mph speed limit you won't even notice.
It can be very windy so pack the storm pegs before you go!
My only complaints are that it did feel a little cramped with pitches too close together and that there aren't enough showers, although if you avoid peak times you should be ok.
A site we will definitely be using again, highly recommended.

This was our first outing with our newly purchased van. As first time tourers we were absolutely stunned at the quality of the site as we were expecting to 'rough it' a bit. This is a different world to the static caravan holidays we have had over the years and although we only spent two nights we loved the relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff.
The facilities were clean and well maintained and the adjoining beach was a delight for us all. A treat was the visiting Fish and Chip van on Saturday night. Delicious! The kids did not want to leave and begged me to have a day off work on Monday so they could stay another night!
If this is the standard of sites we can look forward to, I regret not having done this years ago. Can't wait to go back. ASAP.

Broadhembury Holiday Park - Ashford
Just 15 minutes from Ashford and 25 minutes from fabulous beaches, you'll be ideally placed for exploring the Garden of England. The park is divided into a family area, that is close to the play parks, the sports field and the games room, and a peaceful adult-only area in The Meadows, that is ideal for couples. A range of grass and hardstanding pitches, fully serviced or non electric, catering for all sized of tents and caravans.
On both areas you will enjoy five-star, centrally-heated showers, and private cubicles with toilet, hand basin, dryers etc. Laundry and campers kitchens, a large childrens playground, sports field, games room and television lounge. The park has CCTV and WiFi is available for a small fee. A dog walking area is provided on site. Find out more here

Location is perfect but the road around the site will seriously damage your vehicle, to avoid this drive on the grass.
The pitches are close together and if you are unlucky to get a 'middle field' pitch it is like a maze to escape on a busy weekend. The toilets and showers are clean and plenty of hot water, the laundry is great, the shop is sufficient and the staff are helpful and pleasant.
Grass cutting and hedge trimming is constant so escape to the adjacent beach for peace and quiet.
Everything you need is in nearby Pevensey and the Saturday evening visiting chippie is a wothwhile treat, a meal at the Lamb Inn on the A259 towards Bexhill is also good value. There is a great farm shop nearby at Chilly Farm and the kids will enjoy seeing the animals there. The area abounds with history and places of interest so visit the information centre in Pevensey for info on your interests.
All in all a great holiday, shame about the road upkeep though, I think this lets the site and the CCClub down badly. Enjoy.

This was our first time out with our new trailer tent and we were recommended this site from friends and I have to say we were impressed. Everyone was really friendly, the site was clean and well managed.
The only thing I found strange for such a busy site is to only have 2 showers in the block we were near, and 3 at the other end of the site. The showers although hot were low pressure. The facilities though were spotless. Beach was good and kids had a good time, but as per someone elses comments it is a shame there is no where to play ball games. Shop was well stocked and reception bent over backwards to help.
I would like to thank some really friendly campers in Arthur and Mark who helped me set up and offered some really useful advice.
Recommend this site and will be going back.

Those who have mentioned that this is a windy site weren't kidding! Remember to take storm pegs and straps! On the whole a great site, the children loved that it has it's own beach and made full use of it. The facilities were very clean, and there was a mop and bucket in each block. Not sure how it would be at the height of the season with so few showers though! On the subject of showers, whilst the water was always hot it did take a while to get showered under the low water pressure. With the exception of one individual the staff were friendly and helpful. The whole site was friendly too. Special thanks to the couple who tried to help with the gas bottle problem.
It did rain quite a lot while we were there and there are areas of the site that a prone to water-logging so beware.
Shop is good for the basics, and supermarkets aren't too far away. Both the Chinese and the Indian restaurants in Pevensey will deliver to the site, just remember to pick up your own menus as the site only has one to lend out.
It is a shame the children couldn't fly kites or play ball on the site, but rules are rules!
The road wasn't too bad when we were there, maybe the weather put off the boy racers?! The trains stop at a station close to the site so no need to take the car into any of the local towns if you didn't want to. Regular trains, timetable available in the shop - to borrow.
The children loved the site and even though we know what to expect weather wise, we would go again.

Stayed for a few days over a weekend in May.
Can't fault the site at all, very clean, staff were very helpful, all in all a very pleasent experience.
Didn't spend much time around Pevensy, though did make use of a couple of the local takeaways, plenty to choose from just a mile or so down the road. Loads to do around the area, with Bexhill, Eastbourne just a few miles away(Hastings and Brighton not far either). But with such a pleasant site with play area, and beach (barely a stones throw away), I could understand not wandering too far.
Will be retuning later in the year, one thing to bear in mind, ring/book ahead as we tried a few times and found to be full!

Stayed on this site for five nights 17th -22nd April 2008, we travelled from Dorset and arranged to meet up with friends from Norfolk.
We had pre-booked through the Camping & Caravan Club, but the friendly and helpful site manager managed to put us on 3 adjacent pitches.
We were unlucky with the weather, experiencing strong easterly winds and heavy rain throughout two of the nights, which meant some of the grass pitches were quite waterlogged.
We were close to the toilet & shower block, which were scruplously clean. My only complaint was the road round the site was full of pot-holes. The site shop was well stocked, and each day fresh baked scones and croissants were available – delivered from the local bakery in Pevensey. Can highly recommend them they were scrumptious! Although a visiting fish and chip van was advertised, unfortunately they only visited when the site was busier. We found an Indian takeaway leaflet in the information office and phoned and ordered a meal on Sunday – it was delivered to the campsite and apart from being very tasty, Sunday was a special offer night with 50% off.
Monday was a sunny day, and the winds had reduced, we enjoyed some brisk walks along the pebbled beach collecting shells. Fellow campers were enjoying sea-angling and kite flying. We left on Tuesday 22nd unfortunately even though we’d had used “mud grips” under our tyres our camper van was bogged down and we had to be towed off by the site warden’s tractor. It has not put us off returning, but we hope next time to pick better weather.

What a fab site. The site shop has all the basics and a little more, so you dont have to leave if you dont want to. If you trip you will fall in to the sea, its so close. There is a play area. The facilities are clean and tidy. The whole site had a lovely family atmosphere. The children did not want to come home. We did walk to the shops nearby (in the scorching sun), which was ok for us, but the children (8+3) found it too far. We are booked to go back again already. Well worth going to.

Just stay on the site (4-6 April)
We arrived at 7.20pm and the warden knew exactly who we were - booking in was simple and we were directed to the pitch.
The road around the site could do with some repair. A few too many potholes.
No problems with the Grass mentioned in other reviews and we pitched close to the coast road fence.
The units near us seemed friendly enough and the staff were very helpful.
We headed to Tesco's (a short drive away - and don't like asda) knowing that we might not get back by the 11pm gate lock. It was 20 past when we returned so had to park near the reception/entrance. It wasn't a problem to us, but a motorhome owner wouldn't be happy I can see.
The facilities are clean on site and were cleaned daily - admittedly the site wasn't anywhere near full. The shop on site was handy for things you might forget etc. Has most basics.
Also a nice room with all local information next to reception.
As readers may be aware, it turned a little cold Sunday (never packed a tent in the snow before!). Was grateful to a guy who came to help us from another unit (the wind mentioned elsewhere is impressive).
Yes the road does get noisy, yes the trains are just the otherside, but didn't bother us.
I'd be more than happy to go back.

A lovely friendly site about 100 yards to beach and about a mile to the village of Pevensea. It has a small play area for the kids. The shop is not the best however and has a limited range of goods. They always seem out of breakfast croissants etc. A fish and chip van visits twice a week, and there are several take aways in Pevensea which will deliver. Two toilet and shower blocks which always seem immaculately clean. The Star pub about a mile in the opposit direction to Pevensea does the best carvery I have had and has outdoor seating. A really good site and reccomend it for all.

Have just returned from Norman's Bay. They must have read the review about the long grass and acted, because when we went all the grass was well cut. When people vacated their pitches the grass was cut ready for the next person.
It's not a C & CC site that we would return to though. None of the friendliness that you get on most of the other sites from fellow campers. Loads of non-members, so on 90% of visits to the showers they needed mopping out before I could use them as they had been left dirty - this was probably due to no signs up, but there was always a mop and bucket outside. Having said that toilets were clean as you come to expect.
There are 3 toilet/shower blocks. One houses parent and child and disabled facilities. We used the disabled facilities for our disabled child and found it to be really good, even having a heater which comes on when the shower is used. Even in the middle of summer she gets cold when having a shower, so thumbs up to that idea. There is a games room for the children, but all of the games and puzzles etc. Have been taken, so all that was left was one puzzle and lots of tables and chairs!
All of the staff were incredibly friendly and quick to act when problems arose, i.E. Noise late at night and children cycling round and round the toilet blocks.
Had a very mixed bag of weather; when it's windy, it sure is windy. Luckily no damage to the tent thank goodness.
The site was predominantly caravans with a few tents here and there and is ideal for the beach, although stoney, as previously mentioned. Most people seemed to like to shut themselves in with windbreaks too.
Large Asda and Tesco's nearby. Didn't eat out so can't comment although have heard that The Star Inn nearby was a very good eating house. Fish and Chip van comes on site twice a week, although it did seem expensive - £6.50 for cod and chips. Site shop is well stocked as previously mentioned in another review.
Railway line runs behind the site with frequent trains, although not a problem really as only small local trains. The Coast Road on which the site is situated is subject to 'boy racers' and lads on scooters who speed up and down until quite late at night. Probably not too much of a problem if you are over the other side of the site, but when you are right next to the road, does get slightly annoying when then they go backwards and forwards alot!

We decided to try Norman's Bay after reading about it in the club magazine. We go to this area every year to take mother to see her sister. She stays with sister - we usually stay at the Folkestone site. So we gave Norman's Bay a try. A mistake! Grass was long, we stayed near the old toilet bock. You had to run about in the shower to get wet! The men's urinals leaked and had a bucket underneath - I see this as a priority repair but they were like this for the 3 days we were there. Roads were potholed, Generally the site was scruffy - something we are not used to at C&C club sites, particularly as after 3 days we moved to Folkestone C&C Club site where everthing was fantastic!
