Reconnect with nature, gently.
Welcome to our low-impact, off-grid campsite nestled within a working permaculture fruit and herb farm. Here, a small flock of sheep graze as part of an ongoing project to restore a wildflower meadow. The land is alive with colour, birdsong and butterflies—and you’re invited to experience it at your own peaceful pace.
🌿 Space to breathe
Only two pitches are available at any time (up to 8 people per pitch). Each pitch has:
Private fire pit overlooking wide countryside views
Camping area (with views) on the lower slope near the shower and main compost toilet
Retreat into the woodland strip at the top of the field—perfect for hammocks, hammock tents, shade in summer, quiet chats and listening to the wind through the trees.
🏕️ Extra comfort if the weather turns
Add the large group tent, ideal for gatherings, sleeping or simply escaping the heat.
It includes a yoga deck / flat outdoor space, perfect for truly unwinding.
Looking for a secure field kitchen? We can open the horsebox on the top field (small extra cost). It’s ideal for food storage, camp stoves and gear while you explore beaches and trails.
🌟 Special Exclusive Rental
Hire the entire campsite area for your group
£250 for up to 10 people
up to 10 additional guests at £20 pppn
Make the farm yours.....
🌄 Views worth waking up for:
From the fire pits you’ll see far-reaching countryside views, and just a short walk away on Mountain Field or at The Balehouse (Hastings Country Park café) you’ll find truly breathtaking scenes over Rye Bay.
Nature is the heartbeat here—bluebells in May, orchard blossoms, butterflies drifting through the herbs, and birdsong that wraps around the woodland. At night, the skies open up to the stars; in the morning, you’ll wake to dew-kissed grass and the first rays of sun.
🧘♀️ A slower kind of camping
Bring a yoga mat, greet the day on the deck, cook outdoors, walk the cliffs, or unwind under the trees.
Gather friends and family for a fire, BBQ, or a giant picnic—this field was made for simple, shared moments.
📌 Practical Notes
Working farm: the farmer and WWOOFers are on site in areas separate from camping facilities.
Exclusive use refers to the campsite areas, not the entire farm.
Please bring your own drinking water.

We loved our time at these woodlands, very peaceful and unique stay, we didn’t manage to see any animals but that’s just the nature of nature.
Also, Joe was super, we forgot our Braai and he kindly provided us with one to cook with. Definitely will return!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a lovely stay at this magical campsite. The man at reception, Joe, was incredibly helpful and accommodating to us! such a genuinely lovely person and a great welcome when we arrived.
Because it’s still early in the season, we were actually the only ones staying there, which made the experience feel even more special. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and magical all around. ✨🌲
We decided to drive further into the forest with our van and made use of the wood provided by the campsite. It was really good value for the amount we received and made the whole experience even nicer.
There are lots of great walks all around the area, and we left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed , ready to head back to busy London.
Afterwards we visited the nearby UFO landing site and saw the UFO sculpture, which was great fun and literally just around the corner. 🛸👽✨
We would definitely book this site again. 🌲🚐⭐️

What a wonderful place! Stayed here last night for a solo camp. I love the idea of wild camping but I’m not quite confident enough to go alone. This was the perfect balance because it IS wild camping but with permission. Joe was very helpful and welcoming and the groundsman (I’m not sure of his name) helped me with my camping stove issue. Wonderful walking trails all around, pigs in the field opposite, drinking water and a couple of portals. What more could you want? I’ll be back.

Exactly the experience I wanted, wild camp. We camped down the bottom in the woods end of February, a bit wet so was aloud to have a campfire off the floor. Lots of owls to be heard and woodland behind to explore all the way to Sutton hoo! Excellent quiet just what we wanted, wild camp.

Second time staying here and will be rebooking again soon. Grass pitches are nice and level, the provided portaloo is clean and well maintained. The hosts are super friendly too. On a clear night the stars are amazing, last time I stayed we saw Mars as well as a host of other constellations. Easy for me to get too and a relaxing stay….would definitely recommend

We had such a fun time. Claire (our host) was lovely and made us feel incredibly welcome. We didn't bring anything to sit on (as we had taken public transport) and she was kind enough to lend us some benches for us to use on our patch. She ensured that our wood was kept dry for our campfire and that she was within reach should we need anything. We would definitely return again. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We loved the site the toilets clean excellent showers. really nice barn for washing up and chilling in. We had our own pitch/space and was lovely and well maintained area. A nice private walk into southwold that was about 20 minutes to the pier. would recommend. When there was a little problem they didn’t hesitate to help and sorted it all out. ☺️ overall wonderful place to stay.
