    We stayed here for the weekend with family (4 adults and 3 children) and we absolutely loved it! The showers and toilets are immaculate, very good pitch sizes, stunning location, and Sharen the manager is so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for a fabulous weekend!

    We were visiting our two sons and their families last weekend but didn’t camp here. Such a beautiful spot and Sharon was incredibly warm, friendly and helpful. Easy bus ride into Brighton too 👍

    Had a brilliant time at Chalky Downs campsite. Me and my partner hired a bell tent and treated ourselves to the breakfast, it was delivered in a lovely basket with delicious breakfast baps, hot drinks and juice. Highly recommended it! The owner, Sharen was very helpful and a great host. Loved that she checked up on campers, with a big warm smile. The site has great facilities, just a bit of a hill to walk to the loos. (But it was good exercise though!). Very close to shops and restaurants, about 5mins away. Definitely will be visiting again soon.

    Spent 2 days at Chalky Downs Camp Site with my partner and we loved it! The host Sharon, was extremely welcoming and helpful when we had any questions. The location is fantastic with some incredible views. It also a 5 minute walk(depending on walking speed) from some local shops. There is also an option for a yummy breakfast to be delivered to your tent which comes in a lovely basket (HIGHLY recommend) Our entire experience was brilliant, we are planning another visit hopefully next year and we would both highly recommend staying there.
