Lovely site but have standards slipped

This was our first visit to Brighton club site and apart from the weather it ticked all the boxes. Wardens were pleasant and helpful and facilities were clean and well prepared. The location is very good with a short walk to the beach/marina and good access to a wonderful bus service that can take you everywhere and frequently ,we went to Eastbourne. What wasn't quite right was the presence of a works van marked up as some form of roofing company together with an accompanied pick up truck that went missing all day and appeared each evening. The distasteful nature was a pile of rubbish that was unloaded from the vehicles at the back of the double wheel based caravan. The pile got bigger during the days we were there and was at one point were birds were picking at its contents. It would be inaccurate to say staff were unaware of it.Clearly not holiday makers .I had to look up the fact that the club had changed the rule about marked up works van but there we have it.Club site fees are not the cheapest and I know things like this did upset others on this site when we were there.

Our favourite club site yet.

Stayed here for 2 weeks in Jan. This is one of the club sites that has had a refurb and it looks fab. First thing we want to say about our stay here is how hard the wardens work they were always on the go and its thanks to them that this site remains looking so great. Second thing we were most impressed with was the size of pitches, for a change on a caravan club site we weren't crammed in and there was plenty of room for our twin axle caravan car and an awning (although we didnt use ours this stay). We liked the site so much that we extended our 1 week stay to 2 weeks. We have a dog and although the onsite dog walk is practically non existent (it's a tiny patch of grass hidden behind the play area), this really didn't matter on this occasion as the site is in the middle of a park and walks up on the hills surrounding it. We enjoyed many walks - around the marina (although free parking if you chose to drive there), to Brighton, Rottingdean and just discovering the multitude of footpaths around the area, so for us it was a great site to be with a dog. Also supermarket very close. Don't let the approach down the steep hill past lots of traveller caravans put you off, this is a great site with great wardens in a great location. Thanks Brighton!

My "go-to" all year round place to stay

I stayed at this Club site, in a small campervan, for 4 nights in mid-November and I recommend it highly. The staff’s demeanour and friendliness spoke to me of them enjoying their work there and wanting to welcome you to share the place too. The site nestles in a dip between the hills and when its windy on the tops or on the coast you are sheltered. Within a 15-minute walk there are at least 3 bus stops with different routes and destinations: • The Marina. • Kemptown, Brighton City Centre, and Station. • East to Eastbourne passing through Seaford for Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters. • West to Worthing. On the bike its only 10 minutes to the varied and independent Kemptown shops and watering holes. I loved the small independent bakery for warm fresh bread at 7:00 am! For “cold water” heroes the sea at Brighton seems less prone to sewage and pollution than other places and there’s the newly opened “Sea Lanes” between the Marina and Brighton Pier where you can swim in a heated open-air pool. The beautiful Seaford Lido is open weekend mornings Buses to Eastbourne are frequent giving you options to walk across the Seven Sisters or down to Cuckmere Haven. Or you could wander the Laines and take in the entertainments in Brighton centre. There are frequent trains to London taking roughly an hour and with a Senior Railcard and Freedom Pass the journey cost me £12.50 return. This accessible and sheltered Brighton Club Site provided the amenities and comforts you expect and to have such fun, in the middle of November, makes it my “go to” all year-round place to stay.

November stay

4 nights Mon to Fri in late Nov with a motorhome. We chose a spacious pitch away from the football ground and had a nice view. The site was quiet on arrival but filled up by Fri. Plenty to do without driving anywhere. Supermarkets within walking distance. Arrival day explored marina area. 2nd day walked to and from Brighton and visited the Royal Pavilion. 3rd day took the bus to Eastbourne. The 12a to Eastbourne is caught from the local Marine Gate bus stop but the faster limited stop 12x has to be caught from the Paston Place bus stop midway between the site and Brighton. 4th day went for a pleasant circular walk from the site to Rottingdean which is worth visiting and discovered the hidden gem of Kippling Gardens. The Sea Spray take away Café at Rottingdean was good. Didn’t use the bikes but there is a good opportunity to do so on Route 2 and the undercliff coastal path. We treated ourselves to a beef bourguignon and roast vegetable & potato takeaway from Chef Phillipe’s gazebo & trailer at the site entrance and, to set us up for the journey home, coffee and a pastry on the last morning. Both were excellent and freshly made in his trailer. Out of season he is closed on Mon & Tue but open the rest of the time.

Helpful and friendly staff

We had an enjoyable stay and the staff were helpful and engaging Thanks to Stu. We usually use CL sites so the bigger sites can seem a bit busy, but we found this one was quiet overall and some of the pitches were tucked away enough to give a sense of not being in a busy place. We were visiting friends and I can see the lack of parking for visitors could be a problem - Even getting picked up by a car or taxi needed tight timing as there is not a waiting area near the barriers and turning vehicles round to leave again is tight.

No facility for visitors to park

At last the approach road has been sorted out and there are no ramshackle wild campers cluttering the place up. Unfortunately, the proverbial baby has been thrown out with the bath water. The approach lane is now double yellow lines along its entire length, meaning that there is no off site parking for visitors within a reasonable distance of the site. The site does not allow any visitor parking ( this message was reinforced in the booking confirmation email), so don't use this site if you expect to welcome visitors. When I queried this lack of facility with the staff I was told that parking is available at the cafe in East Brighton Park or at the marina. This isn't particularly helpful if your visitor is a young mum with two kids and it's pouring with rain. Furthermore, the parking at the cafe isn't particularly welcoming with some of the broken down buses, vans etc now using that parking area having been moved from the lane. As we use Brighton site to meet with family and friends in the area, this is a big disincentive for us to continue using the site.

Noisy football match

A very good clean site. Very quiet until the football match started at 19:45 - Whitehawk Football Club is right next to the Motorhome site and the evening of 24 October they were playing at home against Bognor Regis. The noise of shouting and singing of rival fans was overpowering and very frightening. The site gave us no warning and since the football club is immediately adjacent to the site the management are obviously aware of the upheavel caused when home matches are on. The shouting ended by 22:00 so that was one blessing. We should have been made aware with signage in the reception so we could at least prepare of the noise.

An Excellent Site and Superb Wardens

We normally use CL and CS sites as we prefer a different ‘vibe’, but we used the Brighton site for a recee as one of our granddaughters is running in next years Brighton Marathon and we want to support her. The site is superbly kept, facilities are pristine and excellent and the wardens are brilliant. Alan deserves particular praise - on our last day, following a night of constant massive rain and wind (storm Babet) I managed to destroy the jockey wheel support bracket by failing to check that the wheel was correctly aligned before I used the motor mover from the other end of the caravan. Alan calmed a couple of elderly ‘headless chickens’, quietly took charge and managed to mend the bracket in quick time. He also gave me a couple of useful tips. We were massively impressed and grateful. Very well done and thank you so much! Michael and Jacqui Smith

End of 50's travelers

Good place top visit Brighton and with the coaster Bus Connection also the surrounded places. Easy top get inside/outside town Center, also for non residence of UK. If you Like to be Independent with Solar Energy, there is no Option to reduce the price of hardstanding pitch. No ECU is only available on Grass pitch. But when muddy No Option. IT would be great to offer more Options for Energy savers
