We’re a family of four (children of 12 & 9) and we loved this site, we’ve stopped on a number of CLs over the years and we rate this as one of the best (there may be better, but as they probably don’t allow children we’re excluded). Pitch fees at £10 per night for a well-kept site like this are a steal, and although we didn’t change the way we use electric (low wattage kettle and toaster, fridge and hot water) we only used £8.00 over 8 nights. The showers and toilets were kept spotlessly clean. The site is a great size and the pitches well spaced. Accessing the site was a doddle due to the email communication sent by the owners, who were at all times welcoming and friendly. As for things to do there’s no shortage. We went to the Weld and Downland Open Air Museum which coincidentally fell on the day they had a rare breeds show, the National Trust properties of Petworth House and Uppark House (where the gnome trail had the kids entertained for hours), days on the beach at West Wittering (blue flag beach with life guards), and general sightseeing within this beautiful area. If you're into car boot sales, the car boot sale at Ford Airfield on Thursday and Saturday wasn't like any I've seen before, but was worth going to. Thursday was better than Saturday, but do get there early (it opens at 7.30am). However, our favourite visit had to be to Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre. We had a great day here and all the volunteers were so welcoming and knowledgeable – highly recommended. There’s still so much we didn’t see, we could have another holiday in this area, and if we did, we’d have no hesitation in stopping at this excellent CL again.
