 I try to return to this site each year.
Large field, good shower block, 5 mins from station so can leave car on site and travel about hassle free.
Great pub on site with good food

We are a 8. 1 MH and booked a grass hardstanding with electric pitch at £40pn for the May Bank Holiday week.
The lady on reception was very helpful and as there was no grey drive over waste and we had to bucket our grey waste to the elsan we had a pitch close to the facilities.
There were only 2 showers but I never had to queue. They require a free token which you have to insert prior to going into the shower cubicle. Everything was clean if a little dated.
We had Sunday roast and a midweek breakfast at the Ship & Anchor and both were delicious. The walk to the train took 10 min and was on a safe pavement.
We visited Chichester, Littlehampton, Arundel and Worthing using the very regular trains.
If we are in this area again we would definitely use this site.

Very handy site for exploring that part of west sussex, and with Ford train station just minutes walk away, you can get trains to Arundel, Chichester, Bognor, Littlehampton etc and leave the car on the campsite. Nice location, near the river Arun and a handy Pub on site selling proper pub food.
Both Campsite and Pub staff were very friendly and helpful. Pitches were flat and plenty of space. As others have said, toilet facilities were a little dated but were kept clean and working. There was a shop in reception which although had lots of room, it did not seem to stock much (I was surprised as there were no shops nearby, so thought it could double up as a shop for the local area - maybe stocks more in summer)
I personally think it was a little expensive for what it was, and that might explain why it was very quiet during May half term - but that was handy for us as it meant we could book last minute and still get an electric pitch.

Fantastic site. Facilities a little dated, but spotlessly clean. Amazing, friendly, helpful staff.
We stayed one more night than originally intended as we liked it so much.
Ship and Anchor pub on site, again with lovely staff and fantastic food. Pity we live so far away, otherwise we’d be there much more often and will certainly try and visit again.
Approximately 10 minute walk to railway station, with connection to Arundel and Bognor Regis.

Loved this site. Level and firm ground - perfect for small motorhome.
Great location walking distance along river to Arundel, or one stop on the train, with station nearby.
Toilet facilities are a bit old school, but perfectly serviceable and very clean.
Pub also on site - check with staff when food is served

We have been to this site before.
We received a friendly welcome on arrival and given an explanation of all the facilities the site is nice and clean and units are nicely spaced out. The toilets and showers are always clean, there is even a bath in the ladies.
Pub is very handy for breakfast lunch or dinner and is very friendly.
If you like a walk along the water, there is a good path taking you to Arundel or you can catch a train from the nearby station.
Only downside is the bit of a sewage smell by the entrance to the site. Cannot smell it further away on the pitch.

Great campsite, flat spacious pitches. Plenty of hookups. Bathroom facilities are a bit tired but spotlessly clean at all times.
You need to get a token from reception for showers but they are FREE and you get PLENTY of time for a lovely hot shower!
Also, there is a full sized bath if you have small kids, this is very unusual!
Check in was easy with Natalie. John, the owner, is a delightful chap and really helpful too.
There is a pub on site which is so handy.
It's about a 30 min walk along the tow path into Arundel or a regular train from Ford station into Arundel which takes only 6 mins (about £3).
You can hire kayaks from just near the campsite too, we didn't do that though so no idea how good that is.

I return to Ship & Anchor regularly - it's a great location, staff are always friendly and courteous, facilities are clean and close at hand on this compact site. Oh, and there's an on-site pub too - what more could you want?
I always choose to pitch in the bottom paddock - 100m further from the facilities, and no electric hook-up, but neither of those things is problematic.
In general, this small field is much less busy than the main field, which I find to be a bonus.
The only drawback for some might be the proximity of the Arundel/Littlehampton road, and the Ford railway level crossing; there's plenty of noise from both so if silence is what you're looking for perhaps the main field would suit you better.
Cost is very reasonable - a friend and I pitched up for 2 nights for a fraction of the cost of many comparable sites. There's a small site shop - basics only but nice to have - and as I've already mentioned - a pub! And if messing about in boats (or canoes, paddleboards etc) is your thing, then of course the marina is about 50m away.
Arundel is only a couple of miles inland, and Littlehampton similarly close seawards. You're not more than 5 minutes drive from full english breakfasts and restaurant dinners, as well as a range of other things to do/see.
Personally, I find this to be a hidden gem of a site, and I will keep returning!

Lovely quiet campsite. Only site we have stayed in that has a bath! Reception staff very helpful and friendly.
Food in the pub is outstanding although they had run out of quite a few things. Very welcoming and friendly.
Some train noise but you get used to it and nice walk along river with dogs.
Good Central point for visiting Bognor, Chichester and Arundal.

An amazing site with great showers, toilets and washing facilities run by lovely people.
I was running late and arrived ten minutes after closure but they waited for me and parked me up, which was really kind and over and above expectations.

Thus was our second visit to thjs lively campsite. New owners were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with.
We were disappointed that to launch our inflatable dinghy which has a 9. 9hp engine and where no assistance to launch is needed, they wanted to charge us £30 for each launch. Have discovered that we can launch at the RNLI in L'hmpton and just have to pay harbour fees, which are a lot less than £30.
Site is very well kept and utilities are very good.

What a beautiful clean site, toilet/shower facilities, water and washing up station Nataliya the site manager was friendly and helpful as this was my first time camping with my dog Rita and ran the site shop which is stocked with necessities for your trip, including ice cream as we picked a hot couple of days. There is also a small play area for children too.
Ship & Anchor pub is right on your doorstep with lovely staff and entertainment at the weekends. A short walk past the pub and your on the banks of the river Arun where you can either walk into the picturesque Arundel or to Littlehampton a seaside town.
I had my granddaughter on one of the nights and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience and my dog was loving watching everything going on.
I actually came here as I live very close by but wanted to do a tester and was not disappointed and looking forward to more times camping.
Fees weren’t too bad, you pay per person per night and you pay a small charge to use the shower or bath.
All in all a lovely site, would recommend ⛺️
