Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Motorhome PitchesAug 2024

Enjoyed two nights here in my first outing in the campervan. The ground were nice and spacious. The staff were helpful and chill. Facilities did everything they should, whilst being clean and functional. And the location is great - 5 miles from Hastings, and a 2 miles from the supermarkets. Would deffo stay again!
