Lancing, Sussex

Aerial of campsite with sea views

The Barn Caravan Park is a grassy site with trees planted to add shelter, and at a peaceful medium size bookings are carefully controlled to avoid overcrowding. The site is just 7 miles from Brighton, ideally placed for summer festivities or for seeing a game at the Amex Stadium. Stop off on the South Coast to see all that Worthing, Brighton and Bognor Regis have to offer and spend your days at the beach!

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesOct 2023

Nice park with plenty of space and in a convenient location - close to town, Lancing station and beach. Nice hot showers, but toilet paper not re-stocked enough - and the lights went out while I was in the toilet one evening! Expect it would be great for families, but we stayed in term-time so it was nice and quiet.

Great stay

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesOct 2023

Perfect to walk to Lancing and Worthing along the sea front. Friendly owner. The showers and toilets were cleaned daily. However, with only 2 ladies loos, I expect there's quite a queue in peak season!

What is says on the tin!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Excellent campsite, the toilets were always clean and a friendly helpful host. What more could you ask for? This is a no frills affordable campsite, perfect for camping near Brighton for city/camping weekends. Perfect. Thank you, we'll come back again.

Great little site

Stayed in our tent for three nights. Friendly staff, toilets and showers clean and nice hot water. Small bar was nice for a hot drink or beer etc. Would recommend.

Family friendly

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Lovely family run site, very child friendly with a nice play area. Showers and toilets were of a good standard but very busy at times as only two showers and toilets available. Showers were clean and warm. Location wasn't great in comparison to other sites we have used before and there is limited water for washing up that did run out. We did love that there was small bar and ice creams available on site. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. We would visit again for a short weekend.

Nice, flat, well maintained site with café

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Nice flat, well maintained site with café, good facilities and somewhere to freeze cooler blocks. Friendly and helpful staff and if you have kids, a great area for them to play. Only issue for campers is that the washing up area needs more sinks/draining boards. Other than that, we had a great stay.

Great location

We had a great 2 night stay here but could do with a few essentials in the shop like milk etc. It was very peaceful once the planes had stopped and a great location for the beach.

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

All tents and motor homes are situated on the outskirts of the field in a circle that overlooks the centre containing a small park and football goal. Short walk to facilities wherever you are pitched. Close to local amenities and short, cheap train journey to Brighton from the local train station, which is accessible by foot from the site within 15 mins (when walking with two young children!)

Great location

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Great location, 10 minute walk to Lancing Station which is then 20 min train into Brighton or 20 mins in the car. The site is a great size with a comfortable amount of pitches without being too full. Wind for us on the day was relentless however we were well prepared as this had been forecast. If you're looking for somewhere for the kids to entertain themselves on the play area provided with a good location to the beach and Brighton then this is the site for you.

Good small site

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Good small site with all basic facilities you would need. Location was good due to it being a short walk to the train station giving you quick access to Brighton. Amenities could have done with a bit more regular cleaning and one of the washing up sinks did not have hot water. Owner was friendly and helpful.

Very nice site

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Very nice site with a nice little café. Good location, handy for bus stops into Worthing and Brighton. Lancing town half a mile away with a few pubs and shops and a Harvester a 20 minute walk. Toilets clean, pitches nicely spaced out and the site manager was helpful.

Loved this campsite!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Decided to get away from London during one of the hottest weekends in June. The train from Victoria is only about 1.5 hrs and the station is about 15 min from the campsite. Loved the size of our pitch, really spacious for us, and the facilities were great. The sea is lovely and just 10 mins away. Already planning to return with friends! :)

My new favourite site.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

A lovely little site with all you need for your stay. The picnic benches were a game changer for me, so handy, reduces the amount of stuff we'll have to take with us on our next visit. 15 mins walk from beach or train station, and a great selection of shops. We also loved that the site was small enough to see the kids playing on the playground from our tent.

Three night break

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

A lovely 3 night stay. Staff friendly. Site is clean and in a good location for local amenities and the beach (but still feels very rural). Would definitely look to use the site again.

Lovely quiet site, with great facilities

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

We chose this site based on the location and close proximity to the train station and bus routes, so we could explore further afield. The beach at Lancing is very close and we also visited Shoreham-by-Sea and took the train to Brighton for a day trip. The site itself is immaculately clean and the facilities are great. Plenty of hot water in the showers and a central play area for the kids. Our boys made some lovely holiday friends and we had to drag them in when the sun went down! There's a coffee shop and ice cream available on site and we felt very welcome.

Bank holiday stay

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

This was a lovely little site. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The facilities could have been cleaner and were a bit limited for the number of people on site, but it was a bank holiday weekend and I think things were a bit overwhelmed. The site was close to the beach and several takeaways/cafes. I would go again.

A little gem campsite

We loved this campsite. Small site, but plenty of open spaces. The owner was super friendly and helpful and always about. Great location, with a train station nearby. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2023

Would have given 5 stars, but a few small things let the site down. There were no signs on the entrance to the lane, even small ones, we missed it on the first time past. Joe met us on entering the site, he was pleasant but seemed a little vauge about our booking and where we should pitch. Pitches seemed to be allocated on an adhoc basis, pitches were not numbered. Small things but left us lacking a bit of confidence. Pitch sizes were good and well spaced, and fairly level for grass. We had a motorhome pitch with electric. Once on our pitch we realised Joe had not told us about where the water/elsan/grey waste were, a small thing but important before you pitch. Site was probably about 50% full but did not feel crowded. The facilities were modern & clean. The shower had good pressure but could do with being warmer, same could be said for the whole facilities block. Overnight on the first night there was heavy rain which caused problems with some pitches (many being towed off) & also the facilities flooded. Site is about 10 min walk to the pebble beach & seafront walk. Good for walking to Worthing or Shoreham. Coastliner 700 bus route runs every 12mins to both Brighton & Worthing/Littlehampton. We enjoyed the site so some comments may seem a little mean, just wanted to give objective feedback to Joe We would come back

Motorhome - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2023

This really is a great little find, has a café on site. I didn't use it but looked nice and used by a lot of campers. I did think it quite expensive, however, it's a busy site with spacious pitches so you're not on top of each other. 2 toilets and 2 showers so didn't have to wait for either. The site owner is a really nice guy. So helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Although I thought it was expensive, I'd still go again.

Excellent first class

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

This fairly small campsite is a little gem, it has a nice coffee shop and on the hottest of days ice cream, fizzy cans of pop and (my favourite) a slush puppy fix are all available. The facilities are very clean and well maintained throughout the campsite. The owner takes pride in his campsite, and is very keen to ensure people enjoy their campsite experience. He has good genuine local knowledge, with recommendations if required. Even the location is great for transport links, and local shops, pubs etc. So you can either stay and chill out, or explore the coastline and make some memories. I am looking forward to booking my return for 2023, a home from home.

Lovely small site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

A small site ideally located for access to the towns along the south coast. Walking distance to train station and supermarket if you don’t want to drive. Friendly owners who will happily talk. Very much recommend
