Immaculate site too close to the main road

We found this to be a carefully and meticulously maintained site with lovely caretakers on site when we came. The town gave good access to other places via the train and there were a few nice places to eat and drink on the waterfront. The biggest problem is the road running next to the site. There was no let up all day or night long - heavy lorries being the worst. Very difficult to sleep - only the overnight rain drowning out the traffic. A shame. If you could pick it up and move it somewhere away from the road it would be perfect.

Very Mixed Feelings... read on.

As always the site was well run and the wardens were very helpful and friendly, we didn’t use any of the facilities so cannot comment. Our biggest disappointment was the cycling, the site was described by C&MHC as good for cycling, sadly we found it far from that. The road outside is extremely busy and must be used if wishing to access the promenade (2 mikes away) we found it quite scary in fact. The town is 1.5 miles away and frankly was a little tired. The prom is very nice and the West beach is especially so, with dunes and pebbly beach leading onto sand at low tide. Noise is detectable from the road and railway both nearby but not so intrusive as to be a problem. We just wish the club would be clearer about the location and not use vague terms like not far, a short drive away, or within easy reach, as Motorhomers we feel this is unhelpful.

An enjoyable stop over

We stayed here for a few nights to visit the local area. The site is well managed and clean. Book in and out was easy and painless. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and well managed with the wristband system (although some people cannot seem to grasp the process?). We walked to Littlehampton on the first day and enjoyed all it has to offer. We then did a day trip into Arundel which was just as enjoyable. We found the site to be quiet and perfectly located for visiting Arundel and Littlehampton. Yes you can hear the road if you listen for it but it is not overly loud and it did not in anyway effect our stay. We had to stop and listen to hear the road and it was barely noticeable at night. All in all an enjoyable stay and a very busy 3 days that tired our little one out :)

Excellent Holiday

Arrived on the 23rd August and greeted by the lovely wardens we managed to get a pitch on the grass on a corner position with loads of space around us and right next to the toilets and shower block. Covid rules were excellent and never had to wait or queue to get in shower block 6 were allowed in at once. Bus stop just down the road to town and to Arundel. We were supposed to leave on 30th August but enjoyed the site so much that we stayed another 3 days to the 2nd September and the warden was very helpful in booking us in for the extra 3 days the only down side we had was the kids riding round and round the shower block on their bikes and could have easily knocked someone down coming out of the shower but then that,s parents for you out of sight out of mind. We would certainly stay here again the grounds are well kept and the toilets and shower were spotless in all had a wonderful 10 days on this site well recommended.

Standard Club site but very noisy

We stayed here for 2 nights in July as we were visiting a friend who lives in the town. We arrived at a busy time so had a limited choice of pitches, and ended up on pitch 2. All I can say is don't choose pitch 1 or 2 if you like peace and quiet! It's right next to the main road with just a fence and a few shrubs between you and a constant stream of cars, lorries, buses, motorbikes, emergency vehicles and trains! The level crossing just down the road frequently meant that the traffic stood idling so the fumes drifted over the fence making it unpleasant to have the doors and windows open despite the heat, and sitting outside was not an option for long. We did look around for a different pitch on the second day, but the only free non-awning pitch had no shade whatsoever and was on a corner so had no privacy either. There did look to be nicer pitches further over the site but I suspect these are filled early, so arrive early if you want a nicer spot. On the plus side, the facilities were clean and the drive-over waste for motorhomes was useful. However, despite being directly opposite a service point, we were not allowed to connect a hose to fill up the water tank and had to fill by hand which was a tad annoying. We probably would choose a smaller, quieter CL if we were to visit the area again.

High standards as usual but quite noisy

Pleasant and well maintained, as is customary for CMC sites. Helpful and friendly wardens. CMC taking a VERY conservative approach around COVID restrictions which I think are a bit too much, but I’m not complaining. Good wristband system for shower block entry although people occasionally forget to take their band when leaving which is annoying. 3 of 4 washing up sinks closed off and 2/3 of showers and toilets locked to enforce SD indoors. Play park closed and no Tourer Explorer either which seemed a bit OTT as both are outside and permitted generally. Shop also not really open - only for essentials (and no browsing) and no gas. I understand CMC only have safety at heart but I found it a little over-restrictive, particularly as the clientele at these sites are usually very respectful of the rules and other people. But it didn’t detract from a pleasant stay at a nice site. We were pitched close to the road and the road noise we did find quite intrusive, especially with cars with loud exhausts and loud motorbikes speeding up and down in the evenings. Trains could also be heard but they didn’t bother us as infrequent and not that loud. The level crossing near the entrance did cause delays on most journeys but not an issue. Large Morrisons and Tesco both within 5 and 10 mins drive, respectively. With the glorious weather we spent most of our time at the beach - Littlehampton east beach was clean and pleasant although lots of seaweed. We picked a quieter spot away from the main facilities but we did use the toilets, ice cream kiosk and fish and chip shop and all were good. Good facilities and patrolled, but further east is quieter and easier to SD! Bognor beach also recommended - we picked a quieter spot away from the pier near to the (currently unused) Butlins day entrance. Do not recommend Climping beach - basically a building site with no actual building happening - owners pocketing the parking profits but don’t seem to be investing in the maintenance or improvement of the beach. Don’t mind things being rustic (and this place definitely is!) but I felt there were unnecessary hazards everywhere for my young kids and I did not feel comfortable.

Second trip Post Covid Lockdown Easing

We visit this site fairly often as we come from this area and most of our family live local to Littlehampton. Accordingly the site is important to us purely for location, although our grandchildren love the funfair and beach at Littlehampton. Other beaches at Ferring and Goring are also good and not too crowded. Prior to Covid a visit to the Bluebird Cafe on the beach at Ferring was a must, although you can now pre order takeout lunches. Ok there is some noise but hardly intrusive. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The wrist band system at the toilet block works OK. Just a couple of minor niggles. Given the size of the site the waste bins at the service points need to be larger as those there quickly become full and spill over. Hand gel dispensers at the service points would be useful which were customary at the Freshwater East site visited in July this year. Otherwise a very good site for exploring the local area.

First Post Lockdown Break

We've used Littlehampton a number of times over the past 13 years & have always found it well run. This time there were more families which is fine, but kids tearing round the toilet block on bikes, scooters & boards ignoring the 1 way distancing signs wasn't. It's not the kids fault it's the unthinking parents. I read some comments about noise but we didn't find it a problem. You're only a few miles from the A27 so there will be the odd siren & I can't see the problem with 4 trains an hour. What can be a problem is the queue of traffic in to Littlehampton whe the level crossing gates close, but if you're on holiday what's the rush. We generally find the site very good but it would be even better if we were the only ones on it lol.

Better experience than expected

This is a convenient site with great bus connections and train connections so no need for car. Pub, supermarket and bus all with a 10 min short walk. A little longer to walk into Littlehampton (20 mins). The site was well managed, felt safe and everyone was very friendly and relaxed. We don't usually use the sites in the school holidays, but the kids were well behaved. It's a shame that their play area was closed. The wristband system when using the facilities worked well but can confuse and cause queues if people forget to collect their band after using. Worth checking inside if waiting a little too long. Overall a nice place to be and will definitely use again as there is so much to do in that area.

Many positives but ...

This is the second time we have visited this site. We love to visit Arundel - which is accessible by bus - and the harbour area in Littlehampton is lovely. In addition, there is a supermarket nearby, offer fuel too. However, we had quite forgotten how noisy the local area is. Apart from the noise of the traffic, and occasional trains, there are fairly frequent emergency sirens. And I guess because we were on site on a Friday and Saturday night, the local pub was open. Maybe it was post-lockdown exuberance, but both voices and music could be heard quite loudly. So peaceful, this site is not. In our experience, the site team were most welcoming and no problems with pitch selection. The wristband system at the toilet block worked well too.
