Why stay here ...

Fir Trees CL is a tranquil, secluded site set within farmland and bound by Chichester harbour, which is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.  The site is located within easy reach of sandy beaches and the magnificent rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, as well as the ancient Roman walled city of Chichester. 

This is the perfect location for Goodwood House events, the Chichester Festival, and the South Downs National Park.

Buses run frequently to the beaches and to Chichester city centre. 

Within walking distance of our site are Chichester harbour, designated footpaths and trails, marinas and many excellent pubs and restaurants.

There are also many cycling trails throughout the area.

Fir Trees CL is run by Doug and Gill. We are club members and keen touring van users ourselves. We strive to ensure that Fir Trees provides everything required for a quiet and peaceful break.

How many visits to qualify as a regular?

Only four reviews for Fir Trees is surely a ploy on the part of Doug and Gill's regulars to discourage newcomers like us ;-)). This long established CL on a cricket pitch of a site, down to the finely cut grass, was a joy to stay at. Any good intentions to walk, cycle and sight-see were cast aside in favour of basking quietly in the late summer sun and chatting to Doug about all and sundry. Now we want to book again to do all the activities we intended to pursue! One health warning: we visited nearby Premier Motorhomes showroom and fell prey to the seductive charms of a shiny new motorhome. Beware!

Lovely quiet site

Spent week with friends at fir trees, lovely quiet site, Doug the owner friendly and welcoming, very informative about local area, plenty of pitch space (2 acres?). Arrival time 12noon, 10amp EHU worked fine even with electric BBQ. Only 10mins from Chichester and easy access to other places of interest. Local sandy beach very busy but relaxing lovely harbours and countryside are nearby. If your looking for a site in the area, recommend fir trees

short break

We stayed here for a couple of nights having picked up our new motor home.  Quiet, easy access, easy access to water. Plenty of room. Old review showed electric problems - But Electrics were fine.  Great break. Shop within easy access along a footpath not far from the site. I have given a 3 for access to local places of interest as I am unable to comment on this.

Fantastic Site

Lovely quiet site, away from the hustle and bustle, yet within easy access to local places of interest (of which there are many). Site is well maintained and very private. Would definitely recommend, and will be going again

One of best sites in many years (but electrics less so)

Very friendly owners / welcome. Plenty of space and well maintained. BUT, the electrics are low amperage and even a low wattage kettle tripped the supply if fridge or anything extra is running. Nevertheless we will certainly go again but rely on gas for winter heat !

Comment from Community Manager:

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Fir Trees CL Site. The CL owner has contacted us so we can let you know that they have now upgraded the Electric Hook Up from 6 Amps to 10 Amps, so hopefully this will help for your next visit. The owners look forward to seeing you again soon.
