A site of two halves!
We arrived on a Monday just after the school holidays in Sept. The access through Alfriston is tight so be prepared if you have a big unit, we have a small caravan and still got stuck causing opposing traffic to reverse. The access road is shale and lumpy so takes a while and the locked gates are not the best. Found a spot after waiting for some others to move out, there's no arrival / departure times enforced so be prepared to find a full site if you get here early. Facilities all great and easy to find.
From Mon to Fri the site is an absolute delight, fantastic walking nearby, very peaceful, owls hooting at night. We would have marked it as one of our favourite sites but then Friday PM came and the hoards of campers arrived to the adjacent camping site. The access road was constantly in flux with vehicles and people all having a good look at the CL as they passed! The campsite encourages fires and so be prepared for a curtain of smoke and BBQ to cover the site at 7pm. The noise is just people enjoying themselves but then the the folk singers started...it did all quiet down by 10pm though.
So Mon+Fri it's a 5 star site, Fri-Sun it's a 3 star site. We would definitely come again but avoid peak season and the weekend.
