We arrived early, which was not a problem. The owner, Hayley, and her two children came to check everything was ok early that evening. Hayley was very helpful about the area and the local footpaths. A lovely pub is within five minutes on foot from the site. Compliments for the clean facilities. Hot showers and hot water to wash up with. The pitches are spacious and all have electric hook up. Hayley gave us the choice of a hard standing or grass pitch. We chose grass and our pitch looked over fields, which we loved. We walked to Selsey Bill and were able to get a bus back to the site. Definitely will be back. Thank you 😊
Incredible... a great find!

We found this site a couple of years ago. It's so close to the beach and lots of lovely local interests like crazy golf and arcades in nearby towns. The owners are really lovely people - they can't do more to make you feel welcome and at home. Facilities are clean and modern and better than you get at most smaller sites. The views are lovely too and there are some friendly cows only a short walk / bike ride away. We go back every chance we get! The paddle boarding nearby at Bracklesham Bay is incredible too. We'll be visiting again very soon!

Things to do on site and in the Chichester area
The perfect place for a day at the beach, perhaps with a bucket and spade for the sandy stretch at West Wittering, or with a surf board to enjoy watersports at Bracklesham Bay, both just a ten minute drive away.
Elsewhere along the coast, take walks around the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (5 minutes) or explore the stretch out to Selsey Bill (10 minutes). If you enjoy wildlife spotting, Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve is just a 15 minute drive away.
To get a sense of the area's history, a trip to Weald and Downland Living Museum (15 minutes) is a must - the various exhibits, demonstrations and buildings are great for getting kids intrigued in times gone by.
There's more history to soak up at Fishbourne Roman Palace (10 minutes) and around Chichester (10 minutes), where you can discover wonderful attractions including the cathedral, Pallant House Gallery and Festival Theatre.
For alternative activities, perhaps you'd fancy playing a round at Chichester Golf Club (5 minutes) - or maybe sampling the top-notch sparkling wines on a tour and tasting at Tinwood Estate vineyard (15 minutes).
Other nearby attractions include:
- Tangmere Military and Aviation Museum (15 minutes)
- Hotham Park (20 minutes)
- Clarence Pier (30 minutes)
- Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (35 minutes)
- Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (50 minutes)
