  • When we had the VW Grand California for a week recently we needed somewhere to give it a good test. We thought we'd push the boat out and try an award winning super-posh campsite, Concierge Camping!
    Let us know in the comments below if this is your kind of site or if you fancy things a bit more back to basics (or wild camp!)
    Keep a look out for our other new videos coming to the channel soon and a BIG thank you to all of our wonderful subscribers.
    Take care, sit back and grab yourself some California Time !

    Thanks Will, Sarah and Roxy for another lovely video. The campsite looks amazing and would be a real treat, especially the Emperor Pitch, what a great idea if camping with a large group of friends. Bosham and East Wiitering are wonderful places, such a shame the tide was high, there is a great walk around Bosham harbour and on the beach at East Wittering. The craft unit is brilliant too. We look forward to spending more time there this summer. Can't wait to hear your news regarding your choice of new Campervan and love your new name for the channel, looking forward to seeing your new branding. Have a great week, cheers.😀

    We have stayed there in the past. Really impressed. We ended up walking to Bosham with the dog. Really nice pub lunch at The Anchor Bleu. Also, we did a dog walk to the nearest pub but it was shut as they had gone skiing for a couple of weeks. So we then trudged on to the next pub in Funtington. Chichester is nice and West Wittering is big enough for everyone, even in the summer. Great big field to park on and spend the day. Just make sure you book a car space, especially if the weather is good. I only realised after we had been, about the red and green means go lights!😂

    Yes, it might be a nice looking site and the facilities are 'hotel worthy' however that's reflected in their prices which go stratospheric in the summer. The washroom facilities are very posh however that doesn't stop there being queues at busy times, and the motion sensor lights go out too quickly! No doubt your advertorial video will secure you a discount next time around 😉

    • @CampervanTime
      @CampervanTime  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! Yes it's expensive but we loved it. We paid full price, no discounts and no discounts have been offered to us either - it's just our genuine view on a great site! If they do want to offer us a discount however... !!

  • @stephenrussell6074

    Kelling Heath in Norfolk is a massive campsite in comparison covering an area similar to a centre parks site. However it has facilities of a similar standard except the showers which are not quite as good as those. The rest is up to par or better it has a cycle hire, pub and restaurant, health club with swimming pool indoor and outdoor, pop up food selections through summer and it’s own railway station on a steam line. It really is a fantastic site we have been there a dozen times as it also holds astronomy star parties.

    I was missing the three of you terribly so it's wonderful to have you back!
    Jealous? Moi? You bet! What a super place. I couldn't fault it or the surrounding areas. They seem to have thought of everything. It looks and sounds like one of the best sites I've seen and been made aware of. Thank you for taking the time to produce such a comprehensive"tour".
    Have I missed a video?. I'm nicely confused. Is this Crafter in place of the California t6.1... or have you borrowed it for the duration? If it's YOURS, enjoy it to bits! Apart from the bump on its head, I think they look and sound really nice.
    Take care. Be as naughty as you can and enjoy Life and have fun. All best wishes, much love, Pam xx

      No you haven't missed a video - this is the site we went to try out the VW Grand California 600 that the VW Press team very kindly lent us back in January. We did our video reviews of the van back then, but no, this isn't our van... We'll be revealing our plans soon!

    • @CampervanTime
      @CampervanTime  ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't know about 2 vans on one pitch, but when we were there and talking to them about the pitches they said it was quite common for people to book a normal pitch and an emperor pitch so friends saying together could share the tent etc. Give them a ring and see!

    We’re staying here in April on one of the Emperor pitches. We should fit the cali on there 😂. We’ve bought a new awning so probably a good opportunity to test it out and practice putting it up. We’re staying midweek and it is £85 a night but looks well worth it. Delighted to see they have a bar on site! What beers do they do?

    If you could now freely choose between a California Ocean and a Grand California, which would you choose AND WHY? 😊

    • @CampervanTime
      @CampervanTime  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ha! You're trying to catch us out now to get us to reveal what we've decided early!! In all honesty, they are just quite different. The Ocean can be a car replacement and driven daily if you need to. The Grand not so much but is arguably easier to live in when camping, but is a metre longer so can't park in every space.

    • @butschibelloontour1621
      @butschibelloontour1621 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@CampervanTime But does the California not also have „more“ living space because of the big space between front and back seats? Also the hight is important nowadays. And driving to travel between spots. Of course the Grand California has more (hot) water und more storage space but I am not sure if that outweighs the disadvantages of length, hight and being a truck rather than a car. Difficult choice. 😅☺️

    • @CampervanTime
      @CampervanTime  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Again I think it depends. For two people the Grand was just fine and having a bit more space so one can cook and the other can lounge and not be in the way, we liked it. The Cali centre space is a nice 1m square though so is good for being universal. In terms of height, yes if you want to sneak into car parks etc it’s helpful being 2.04 / 1.99m only. The 600 Grand is very high. The fixed bed at the back of the bigger vans is nice though and no worries about wind and rain being a problem with a pop top. Driving wise, we both thought the Grand/Crafter drove just as nice as the Cali, maybe even a bit nicer in some respects. Doesn’t feel like a truck at all!

    Is it me or does the van look ugly. I think it’s that bulbous front. Looks like one of those whale creatures. I’d love to see a top end crafter style van with a pop top for sleeping 4 and a garage. I’d definitely buy one 😊
