verify traffic noise

Didn't think that the reviews could be as bad as they were but after spending a few days at Rowan Park I can confirm that the traffic noise throughout the night is unacceptable. As musicians we are used to excessive noise but the sound of exhaust pops and bangs from racing cars on the adjacent roads made this a less than idyllic stay. This is no reflection on the site but I am surprised that no representation has been made to request police attendance at this obvious problem area. We also decided to book a site at Littlehampton but on checking reviews it seems that this site is just as bad with campers suffering the same blight other than that the site is very useful to motorhomes with facilities close by and access to public transport easy

Quiet It Ain't

First -The plusses- The shower /toilet block are one of the cleanest I have ever been in. The pitches are well spaced out. The wardens are very helpful and the maintenance staff are very friendly. It is easy to access the site from the main road. There are a number of attractions nearby. The minuses- don't arrive a second before your designated arrival time because you will not be admitted. Pick your pitch location wisely because on a morning and an evening and a weekend the noise from the traffic is very loud. The roads become very busy from every direction from 4pm to 6pm every day. It is good value for money

Great location if you want to go to Goodwood

A lovely site, meticulously kept clean and tidy. Staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. In an area where there are several retail parks offering numerous opportunities to eat drink and shop. The site is next door to a nature reserve which is perfect for dog walking. The downside is the noise of the traffic, which being on a junction of two main roads, is constant. This was explained fully on arrival) Hard standing and grass pitches are all maintained well and there are plenty of trees on site if you require more shade. The other point is why they decided to get rid of the waste bins on the site, it is now down by the entrance gate. Have stayed here twice this year to attend both Goodwood festivals which is very handy as it is only six miles away. Chichester has a market on a Wednesday and is a great town, with the famous Ivy Restaurant in the high street. The Weald museum where the repair shop is filmed is worth a visit being not much farther on from Goodwood. There is an Aldi and Lidl with walking distance as well as Macdonalds, KFC and many other shops like Matalan Home Bargains and Halfords. Bognor is a great town and beach a few miles away. All in all a very convenient site.

Just what we wanted

As part of a 2 week tour of the Jurassic coast we had booked 2 nights at Rowan Park. We decided to travel to the site a day early due to a poor experience on a non CMC site (lesson learned!). I phoned the site to enquire as to the best way to amend my booking and got good advice. We knew the site was next to a busy road (as others have noted, site staff give advice on choice of pitches to reduce the impact of the road noise), but the location was just where we wanted to be in order to visit the Weald & Downland museum (excellent, we would recommend). Our philosophy for this year's trip was to minimise travel on the days we were not moving sites. We had a lovely warm welcome from the site staff, with the gate being opened for us on arrival (It was kept closed for security). Our pitch was fantastic, spacious and level. The site was so calm and relaxed, and peaceful, as it felt removed from the hustle and bustle happening outside the boundary. As there is no play area, there were not very many children, which is rare in the school holidays. Toilet, laundry and wash-up facilities were spotless and the site itself was immaculately kept. A bonus for us was the conservation area right next to site, where we could walk our dog every morning before we headed out for the day. It was clearly used by locals and I met friendly dog walkers each day. I would recommend this site.

An oasis of calm in a busy area

A lovely site, meticulously kept clean and tidy. Staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. In an area where there are several retail parks offering numerous opportunities to eat drink and shop. The site is next door to a nature reserve which is perfect for dog walking. There is a buzz of traffic noise but the farther away from the road you are the less intrusive it is. (All this is explained fully on arrival) Hard stand and grass pitches are all maintained well and there are plenty of trees on site if you require more shade. Will definitely stay here again.

Taking away

The club site is deserted this is not the fault of the hard working warden's but ofthe club itself taken away children play area toilets need upgrading now they have taken bins away and only have one bin area so if you're at one end of the site you have to Walk right to the other end I've been s member for over twenty years you don't get people coming to the site if you keep putting the price up and keep taking things away

Leuke indeling van niet al te grote camping

We hadden een hardstanding plek gereserveerd en konden nog uit een aantal kiezen die niet langs de drukke verkeersweg waarover we in reviews lazen, gelukkig. We hebben er dan ook absoluut geen hinder van ondervonden. De camping had wel een beetje een soortgelijke indeling als die camping Henley four oaks in Henley on Thames.

Spotless site

This is a lovely clean site the wardens are very welcoming and work very hard to keep to such a high standard everywhere is immaculate with good size pitches, with easy access from the main road, there is a nature reserve right next door to go for dog walks. Now for the downside as it's just off the main road and within walking distance to a few shopping complexes, superstores and a few pubs that serve food there is considerable road noise which is a constant day and night, so you may want to think about that before booking.

Super Clean and lovely site

So I will start with the road noise as there are many reviews about this. Yes you can hear the road, and yes there are loud cars that go past but you are booking a site at a location that's between some busy roads. We managed to get pitch number 7 towards the back of the site and the noise wasn't too bad, not enough to disturb us or our 4 year old. The pitches nearer the roads I would assume this would be louder. With this said, the key for us was the location being close to Goodwood so worked perfectly and we understood there would be some noise due to the location. On to what really impressed me, the site itself is beautifully kept, clean and the hardstanding pitch we was on was great. The toilet block was always clean when we used the facilities. Access to the site being off a main road is great, no concerns trying to get a 8ft wide caravan on to the site. Being close to Bognor we had so much choice for supermarkets (all within 5mins) food delivery (being at a car show all day we wanted something quick and easy) and access to Goodwood. The Wardens are so helpful with all the information provided and how they kept the site.
