Immediately off the A27 which for us was great cos my daughters don't like travelling far in cars. And yes, you can hear traffic but it's more a gentle hum which is fine for sleeping and probably even helps. Lovely setting; it is a bit hilly but still possible to find decent points for the van. And the facilities were lovely, and the staff were friendly. Basically had it all.
Beautiful little find

I found this campsite online and it is brilliant. Clean and tidy and lots of room on each pitch. Nice fire pit for the evening which was great. I will definitely return.
