The Witterings, West Sussex

This beautiful part of Sussex is located close to Chichester. It is famous for its beautiful beach and sand dunes, and its delightful beach huts. Visitors have recently taken up water sports, such as surfing and paddle boarding, which may be of interest to the more adventurous campers. The town itself does not have a great deal to offer, as it only has one pub, and the congestion is terrible on the roads at the first hint of sunshine.  Most campers will often travel in packs to stick together, so they normally invest in Buggy Whips sourced from businesses like Wisuk to show exactly where they are and stay visible to all road users when the light fades during the evening .
