About the site


A great campsite for exploring the Sussex Coast. You will be only a 15 minute walk from a pebble beach, a train station and a local pub, with the attractions of Brighton just a 20 minute drive away too! Tents (up to 6m x 6m), caravans and motorhomes are welcome across the site's 40 grass pitches, each 8m x 10m in size. The non electric pitches allow up to four guests each, whilst the 6 amp electric pitches welcome up to five. Trees also line the site to help protect you from the coastal breeze. You can start the day with a coffee from the onsite coffee shop, with it transforming into a licensed bar in the evening for a tipple. Kids can also burn off some energy in the onsite play park, with access to free WiFi too. If you want to cook up a tasty burger during your stay, the site allows BBQs, just please make sure they are raised from the ground. Raised fire pits are permitted too. Dogs can join you too, with up to two pups per pitch.

A note from the site themselves...

We opened the site back in 2003 and have continued to grow and develop ever since. Fret not though if big campsites aren't your thing, the site is still peaceful and medium-sized and is always carefully maintained to avoid overcrowding even in busy periods.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our sunny part of Sussex, Joe

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

We had a lovely stay at this campsite, wanted somewhere with good access into Brighton but also nice and quiet. This was perfect, we had a choice of pitches. Lovely staff, nice clean facilities, plenty of space. About a 15 min flat walk to the train station, didn't have to wait too long as there are several trains every hour. We did a day trip to Brighton but the site is only a sort walk from the coast so if you don't want to go far it's an ideal location for exploring the area/coast.
