We enjoyed our stay at The camp surroundings are well maintained, what I noticed is that no annoying flies buzzing around when sitting out and while cooking!.
The host and people on site are very helpful and friendly. One night we needed help with lighting a camp fire and they were so quick to respond.
The facilities in the camp are a bonus, if the weather is nice you won't get bored.
Ladies toilets were okay my kids complained about the men's!!

Well kept site that I found very private and relaxing.
Good location close to Brighton.
The A23 detracts from the peaceful atmosphere but not so much that it spoils the experience.

My friend and I had a delightful stay, with our kids, at this charming little site, at the end of July. Katie, the campsite owner, couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating. She made us feel welcome from the start. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The campsite is rustic, with drinking water vessels, buckets for showers (there was a place to heat up the water), and eco friendly toilets. The location next to the river is beautiful. The kids were in heaven. They swam, paddle boarded and road bikes to the local shops, and generally went on adventures. You are surrounded by nature, with cows only a few steps away. It’s a little slice of heaven. My friend and I actually managed to relax, which is unheard of whilst camping. The kids were so content and occupied. Thank you to Katie and your beautiful family. We will be back again for sure

Berty the Yurty is an amazing set up; the terrace area with the outside kitchen is gorgeous and where I spent most of my time, listening to birds and watching butterflies dance around wild flowers. Seating is well provided for with reclining wooden chairs (i don’t know the proper name for them) and a metal table and chairs which stay remarkably cool in the shade.
Hand sanitizer provided around the place and in the composting toilet for use before moving outside and across to the sink for a proper handwashing is just *chefs kiss*
I don’t think that there is anything that hasn’t been thought of and provided for an awesome yurting experience here; and if you need anything then George and his team are very responsive via messaging (and I expect by phone and in person for the less shy) to bring more sawdust for the toilet, or eggs and apple juice from the farm that day.
If you have the opportunity to go then do! I’m so glad I did!

We had a lovely, relaxing weekend at the Otter Channel - so much so, we didn’t leave the campsite the whole weekend!
Katie was very welcoming and the site itself was very peaceful and sheltered on all sides by dense hedgerows. It’s a beautiful place and is the perfect retreat to unwind and recharge.

We had a great time at Otter Camp. It was a very chilled out camp, with the pitches all nicely spread out. Sarah was very friendly and helpful.

Katie runs a lovely peaceful, quiet and clean campsite. We had a remarkable stay there and enjoyed the use of the river, log burner and the convenient little shop which has essential items.
Getting away from the rat race, this is the place to go!

We Stayed in a beautiful yurt nestled near the forest, located on a charming farm.
Enjoyed fresh air, peace and quiet, and cozy comforts. Woke up to the scent of nature and started our day with our delicious homemade apple juice and fresh free-range eggs. The warm, welcoming host was happy to share local tips and helped make our stay relaxing and memorable.We would recommend to others 😃👍

Weekend Trip to Southwood Park Estate
Loved the camp vibe and the people are very welcoming and friendly. The campsite is very clean and things are there for everyone likeness to enjoy.
The staff is very sweet to help. You just have to ask.
Make sure to get your cooking equipments like if you want to cook near your tent. There is stove and fireplace. You can also use the open kitchen BBQ to cook if you want.
Get yourself a camp chair if you want to sit comfortably outside next to the fireplace near your tent and an outdoor lamp
Each camp is separated so you have ample privacy
The camp area is beautifully designed and decorated which looks great during daytime.
Breakfast is scrumptious and you can have food and drinks throughout the day in the restaurant.
The campsite hosts are super nice and loves to take good care of their guests

My husband and I camped with our little dog at the Otter Channel Campsite - it was fantastic!
The nature sounds are incredibly soothing, waking up to some light rain fall and the chirping of birds was so lovely to snooze to.
The added touch of arranging a fire pit and wood pre arrival is brilliant and so easy! Having the accessibility of bringing a large drinking water container (provided by the host) to your site is also super convenient!
If you're wanting a beautiful getaway with your dog - this is the perfect option! Lots of lovely walks, 20 minute drive to the beach, and the campsite is small so your dog can have a little roam.

We had a great time. Such a peaceful spot where you can do your own thing. Facilities are basic but very clean and well maintained. We much prefer little spots like these where you can have a fire and arent packed with people. Lots of lovely walks nearby and vineyards to visit. Katie was very helpful too. One suggestion would be a little note on how to operate the bucket shower, we heated the water on the stove and used that but saw a few guests having cold showers! Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Weekend Trip to Berty the yurty
We had an excellent stay at Berty the Yurty. As we stayed in Dec, even the wood burner was on for our arrival and Roy kindly met us to show us around. The facilities are impressive given the outdoor nature of the experience and it really is a chance to unwind and disconnect for a few days. The fresh eggs, sourdough, milk and apple juice were a lovely touch and Roy was very helpful when we needed the chopped wood topping up! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
