Dog-friendly camping in Bedgebury Forest

·

In Bedgebury Forest, you’ll find over 1,100 campsites that welcome pets—so no need to leave your dog behind. Choices start at just £12 a night, with the average sitting around £70. The forest trails stay shaded even on hot days, and you’ll often spot deer at dawn. Top sites include Chalky Downs (241 reviews), The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), and Hook Farm Campsite (105 reviews). Toilets and showers are standard, and most sites let your dog roam by your side. Horseback-riding is big here, and plenty of spots for wildlife-watching or fishing dot the forest edge. Bring sturdy boots—the ground can get muddy after rain, and you’ll want to explore beyond the main paths.

4 units · Glamping · Uckfield, England
Searching for a peaceful holiday/short break without kids underfoot? Ramble along to Hastingford Fishery, an adults-only shepherd's hut and fishing site set in a scenic lakeside setting less than five minutes’ drive from the East Sussex village of Hadlow Down and 20 minutes from Royal Tunbridge Wells. This site should suit couples or singles wanting to 'get away from it all' and also fishing fans down to the ground. It’s got several fishing lakes to choose from with lots of different species, so settle down on the banks with rod in hand and while away a few hours (or days) in quiet contemplation, waiting for something to bite. But please note, the site is not for 'competition anglers' although there are plenty of good sized carp around. and asks anyone fishing to only use barbless hooks, and for fish to be returned to the lake quickly after being caught.Not the fishing type? Chill out in and around your secluded hut, or there’s plenty to entertain in a leisurely fashion: paths wind around the lakes and through copses/shaws (as this is the High Weald) plus through the local countryside. There are spectacular views towards the South Downs National Park from the top lakes. A spring-fed lake is also on site to cool off in with some wild swimming. Lots of bird life around, with feeders outside each hut and waterfowl visitors to the lakes.When it comes to eats, pick up or have supplies delivered from supermarkets or takeaways in Uckfield, Heathfield or Crowborough or take a drive to Buxted Park for some posh food or pubs in Blackboys, Crowborough, Ringles Cross, 5 Ash Down, Rotherfield, or Buxted (it'll take about 10 minutes to drive to any of these). Lots of sample menus in huts.
