No overnight stays, as far as we can tell from the signs. The RingGo app also has no 24-hour option or any way to ask. The car park just after this one allows 24 hours for £20, with lots of space. We weigh 4.5 tonnes and the ground seems really solid.Translating
Motorhomes can now stay and sleep overnight in this car park only in designated bays and for a £20 fee. Pay by app only. New rules from Jan 2025. Translating
Confusing information. I am not sure I understand it correctly. “All-day” rate: £4 between 08:00 and 18:00. Free from 18:00, but beware! It appears to be only until midnight, so as I understand it, overnight stays are not allowed. The maximum stay is 10 hours. NO OVERNIGHT sign in the middle of the car park. Alternative: use the adjacent gravel car park, where overnight stays are allowed.Translating
Nice daytime parking for 10 designated motor homes. As most places along this coast, no sleeping, cooking or camping.Translating
Everything relevant has already been mentioned by others. For those interested, ‘under the pier’ is really worth visiting!Translating
East Sussex council day time parking - 10 allocated motorhome spaces. Beyond this car park at the end is a privately owned Eastern Farm car park where you can pay £15 for 24 hrs and there is nothing on the signage about no overnight sleeping. Translating
Stayed for the day. Four spaces for motorhomes. Not a bad car park.Translating
You cannot park on the 10 designated spots overnight. You have to go through the car park to the gravel car park Easton Farm CP it £15 24hrs Apr-Sept. Downside for us is no dogs on beach Apr-SeptTranslating
There are ten dedicated motorhome spaces facing the model yacht lake. The parking machine takes cash or Ring-Go app. Spaces here also slope towards the lake area. There was no building work going on here today. No sign of it Translating
Out of season, fine. Not quite as pleasant on a busy bank holiday weekend! If you get one of the spaces, it's a decent result.Translating
Warning: there is some building work going on in the car park as of 16 mar 2023. It’s temporary but they have huge cranes and safety barriers in place. They are working overnight. I went but left due to the noise. Given the safety barriers it’s a few weeks work. Do your research before going. Translating
