Weekend Trip to Beech Estate Campsite

Tranquille camping spot in the beautiful woods. My allocated pitch was very secluded and perfect a weekend break away from the concrete jungle. Check in was easy and informative, pre ordered logs and firefighters at reception for me to collect. Plenty of large wheelbarrows to ferry equipment to the pitch. Yellow trail walk was closed promptly informed via email and given two alternative routes. I am a female solo camping and felt safe at all times. Would thoroughly recommend.

3 nights at Beech Estate Campsite

Lovely setting in the woods. Nice and calm, clean toilet facilities. Great bucket shower (who’d have thought!). Lovely walk from the pitch to Battle town. Would visit again.

1 night at The Barn KT9

We had a great time at The Barn. The site was very peaceful and the pitches were well maintained. We had a nice walk to the pub for dinner and had a great coffee in the morning on the onsite cafe.

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Fantastic campsite. Beautiful site, great walks nearby, and easy access to pubs/brewery and restaurants. The campsite staff were really friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Wonderful hospitality and a beautiful site. Myself, my wife and daughter backpacked into Hook Farm from London for a two night break. We were warmly greeted on arrival by Megan. We wandered round the site to select our pitch. Lots of choice, beautiful scenery, woodland and green grass. The natural and environmentally friendly ethos here is evident and refreshing. Some slopes to be aware of but entirely manageable; good to arrive on the earlier side to have the best choice. We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Fox. The owner, (my apologies for not recalling your name!) is a true gentleman and perfect host. I was looking for the easiest way to walk to the shop for a few food bits, he stopped his vehicle to enquire as to whether I needed assistance, we then had a lovely half hour chat about all sorts of things. 5th generation farmer, the 6th generation stopped by also! Genuine hospitality and friendly, warm people who care about what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation, followed the cross country directions and had a fabulous walk to the shop, then again later with family to the Fox. We loved our experience and stay at Hook Farm. A gem of a place and made to feel very welcome. A treat to find a rural site that is simple yet beautiful without artificial noise and with just the right, simple facilities for a recharge.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely spot, allowed to pick our own 'pitch' - nothing marked out, just go where you want. It's a back to basics campsite as advertised and that's what I like. We recevied a friendly welcome and everyone on the site was plesant and stuck to the no music after 10 rule. Lots of families and a good atmosphere.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely campsite with great views. Plenty of space - over the BH weekend it was quite busy, with a whole range of different groups etc, everyone very friendly. my kids loved the resident sheepdogs, and the pigs. The toilet/shower block is very nicely done and kept as clean as possible, recognising it was very busy when we went. We'd definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Ditchling Boutique Camping

We loved our stay, the pitch was easy to find and ideal for us and our dog. Conrad was a great host. It's only a few minutes walk to great pubs and cafes (all very dog friendly!). We got lucky and had clear sky's with stunning views of the stars. I'd definitely stay again

1 night at Ditchling Boutique Camping

Great spot! We only had time to meet friends there for one night but had a really good time. Kids loved it and had plenty of spaces to explore. Not far from the South Downs and only a short drive from Brighton. Near to a road but you really don't notice. Found time to sit around the fire at night chatting and looking at the stars.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I really enjoyed my time there host was brilliant, lovely bit of land makes you feel like your really in the woods which was nice! Would recommend 10/10 for sure

1 night at The Hop Farm

Planned a last minute camp, and glad I chose this campsite. The check in was straightforward and the instructions and information was clear. Plenty of space to choose your pitch, toilets are very clean and had all the amenities I needed.

Weekend Trip to Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

Beautiful setting, great facilities ! The site was clean, surrounded by trees, large fit pit in the middle. Loved it , would highly recommend - very peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

Wonderful campsite that is a great balance of rustic and off-grid (no WiFi or electricity on the pitches) and creature comforts with amenities such as flush toilets, shower with hot water, washing up stations and communal kitchen with a little gas hob and fridge. We were two families with 3 kids ranging from 2-7 years old and they loved the little treehouse/platform, swings and badminton court, not to mention the firepit for s'mores and the gigantic space to run around. With Whitstable, Canterbury and Margate a short drive away, there are lots of options for day excursions and for picking up provisions, while West Blean and Thorden Woods great for hiking - the kids loved seeing various animals and finding all the little dens along the trail. We will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Beautiful section of woodland. Great for walking. Plenty of choice on pitch.

Weekend Trip to Daisy May’s Farm

Another great weekend here kids loved it again. Always ask to come back

Weekend Trip to Housedean Farm Campsite

I loved my time there! The campsite is easily accessible by public transport and the nature surrounding it is breathtaking.

Weekend Trip to Beech Estate Campsite

The bell tent had everything we needed and the setting in the woods among the bluebells was incredible. Steve was fantastic at helping us sort out a booking mistake on my part, and once we got there everyone was super kind and helpful. Will definitely come back soon!

Weekend Trip to Housedean Farm Campsite

Housedean Farm is a lovely site in the rolling hills of the South Downs and I'd recommend it. I'd also recommend booking directly with the site rather than through Hipcamp who will not stop emailing me. I need one email when I book a campsite - the booking confirmation. No matter if you opt out of marketing emails, you'll get at least five unnecessary emails as follows: "Enhance your trip with extras" "Your trip is coming up! Here's who's onboard." "Reminder for your trip to Grass Pitch" "Time to pack your bags!" "What did you think of Housedean Farm Campsite?" There's just no stopping the spam from this company

Weekend Trip to Whitlingham Broad Campsite

we loved camping here, the place is quiet and there is everything you need. Toilets were clean, there is a small shop where you can buy snacks. You can charge your phone for a small fee, and Linda is very helpful is sharing information and suggestions on things to do in the area. We had a great time and the children loved playing football in the field and building a den in the forest.

Ditchling Boutique Camping

101 units · Tents6 acres · Ditchling, East Sussex, South East England

Hunker down in a historic village, surrounded by vineyards, hilly countryside and some rather spectacular views. With Ditchling Camping as your base, you’ll be on track for rural bike rides or visiting Brighton and its busy coast 25 minutes’ drive away. That’s because this dog-friendly site is in Ditchling – a village in the splendid South Downs National Park and a rather excellent location for all sorts of days out. Good news if the whole family is tagging along: there’s plenty to play with around the site, including an adventure trail through the woodlands, a swing tree and places for kids to fashion their own little dens. The site is only a five-minute drive (or a 30-minute walk) from the traditional Jack and Jill windmills and the neighbouring family-run pub, which serves both grub and good ales. A vineyard is 15 minutes’ walk away from the site if you'd like to include a wine-tasting tour on your break. Otherwise, simply pedal along country lanes on the surrounding cycling routes (it’s easy enough to hire a bike locally). On your route, you might want to stop by in characterful Ditchling, home to local craftspeople and winemakers. There’s a nice selection of independent shops here, plus cosy cafés and pubs that will serve you a good spread of Sussex food, all within a 5-minute walk. Back on site, end the day with a cosy evening beside the fire-pits. The site facilities are nicely straightforward otherwise and include warm showers and a separate dishwashing area and of course our newly installed Composting Toilets.
