Lovely place to spend a night in the woods. Felt serene and safe, with beautiful areas to walk around. The little wood shed to buy small jars of local honey and eggs was a lovely touch even though we just took logs.

2 nights at Sindles Farm Glamping and Camping

It was so lovely to camp on Laura's land in the Hampshire Hut: it was warm and cosy at night, and there was a beautiful breeze when I lay down on the bed to read late afternoon after walks in nearby fields and on the beach at West Wittering. My friend stayed in the adjoining Sussex hut and we took over the end of the field, cooking on the open fire. We heard an owl at night and hedgerow birds during the day: the huts looked across rural farmland where buzzards and Kites could be seen. Laura was so helpful and welcoming: a wheelbarrow of the driest wood made fires in the evening easy to light. The bathrooms were very comfortable, including starlit visits in the night. We also enjoyed visiting the new Goodwood Art Foundation just 20 minutes away by car.

Lovely and quiet and I was able to have widespread uninterrupted views of the nearby horses and coastline with no one else near me. Facilities were clean and staff helpful. And the sun shone after a torrential night so perfect stay!

Weekend Trip to Bredy Farm

Just a great campsite, especially if you're into music and like to have free space to pitch. The Orchard is amazing but you do need to like life around you and I don't mean the wildlife type. Great for big groups. The Barn / club has amazing lighting (lasers) and sound system & a sand dance area + a heated swimming pool with fire pits. The restaurant does fantastic pizza / food with Tuscany vibe, lovely helpful staff and decent showers / toilets.

We loved Snelling Farm! Such a great space to camp on. There were quite a few others there but all spread out so never felt busy. The kids played for hours on the tyre and rope swings and the hay bale play area provided hours of fun. A central point where parents could see the children and know they were safe! So warmly welcomed by the team and the little shop on site open twice a day helped us with essentials like Purbeck ice cream as well as chipolatas and logs for the fire. Great position for local attractions like the Tank museum and monkey world. Really felt like we were miles from anywhere!

Such a gorgeous camp site will definitely return! There were lots of tents and campers around the site but still felt very calm and peaceful and plenty of space to pop up my tent :) The cafe was an added bonus and the drinks were lovely. The views from the site were amazing, only had to walk 30 seconds to the edge of the cliff and you had the most amazing view. When I arrived the staff gave lots of recommendations and help with the area. I took a walk to the pulpit inn which is about 20 minutes away and had a lovely dinner. Again I had an amazing experience and will definitely be back :) thank you!!

Great stay and great value. A rural, pretty field with lots of space provided a perfect overnight stop in our off-grid camper van. Level areas can be found and shade thankfully (it was 30c!). Slept beautifully and woke to a pink sunrise and the sound of a distant peacock! Other campers were quiet. Zero litter. Clean compost loo did the trick. Richard’s directions were excellent and he met us swiftly on arrival. Perfect. We leave with only happy memories.

I had a great stay at Ninham Country Holidays. The site is beautiful and well maintained. The facilities are clean and well maintained too. The only thing I think would be good to have had were camper's fridges. I found the staff friendly and helpful. Oliver went to extra mile for me helping me when I managed to run my car battery flat.

Bridgewood is such a special place to visit for camping. It strikes the perfect balance between wild camping and being close enough to people to feel safe. Such a wonderful experience and easy to locate! Sarah and Paul were so helpful and accommodating, and gave me such a welcoming tour around the grounds when I arrived. I'll definitely be planning another visit back there soon. Thanks so much for having me!

Well kept with clean loos and showers, this campsite is in the middle of nowhere with loud wildlife noises and beautiful sunsets. There is coffee on site, and a great family friendly walk to a lovely gastropub.
