THE CAMPSITE

 

RAISING THE BAR

Concierge Camping at Ratham Estate opened for business in April 2015. From its very first year, the campsite was awarded the AA South East Campsite of the Year and both a Premier Park and Best of British holiday park status. Continuous improvements and an obsessive attention to detail have now led to winning the prestigious AA ‘Campsite of the Year’ over consecutive years.

The Ratham Estate is situated in West Ashling near Chichester – (see location map). Steeped in history, it’s mentioned in the Domesday Book and originates from the 15th century. A working farm until the 1990s, the estate has three Grade II listed properties on site which include a charming circular thatched chapel, the original water mill and farmhouse.

Current owners, Lord and Lady Hodgkin, purchased the estate in 2011 and are bringing it back to its former glory. In 2015 they created a luxury touring park on a large area of the estate.

OUR FACILITIES

You will find 37 spacious and fully serviced, hardstanding pitches tastefully landscaped into the rural surroundings available all year round.

Each generous pitch is framed with hedging for seclusion and privacy. We offer five sizes of fully-serviced pitch; all with hard-standings of at least 8m x 6.5m suitable for smaller European style motorhomes and an awning, or 14m x 6m that can accommodate larger American Style RVs or Car / Caravans. Gladiator Pitches measure 15m x 8m and are each attached to a private day-living tent complete with log burning stove and indoor kitchen/dining area.

One awning or tent plus a single motorised, inhabitable vehicle per pitch is included in the price – all to be erected on the hardstanding only. Please call if in doubt!

New and unique to Concierge Camping is our 15m x 8m Emperor pitches. These fabulous pitches have day-living cabins on them. With fully fitted state-of-the-art kitchen, log-burning cooker, tv, dining tables inside and out, ensuite shower rooms. These really are something!

Take the stress away from erecting your awning and book an Emperor or Gladiator Pitch

 – Fresh & waste water

 – Enclosed grass recreation area

 – 32 amp power supplies are available at a surcharge

AWARD WINNING WASHROOMS

Cleanliness, comfort and luxury are our core values that we take pride in retaining across all aspects of our facilities and services at Concierge Camping. Our granite-topped wash areas, complimentary toiletries and quality showers are more akin to what you may expect from boutique Hotel bathrooms rather than a campsite. We’re the proud winners of a ‘Loo of the year’ award, gained after recognition of our never-ending commitment to every aspect of your camping experience.
