2 nights at Beech Estate Campsite

Lovely campsite, really private pitches in the forest and clean facilities.

Weekend Trip to Chalky Downs

Great picturesque location, clean and plentiful toilets and showers and sink for cleaning. Very quiet area with local paths to the South Downs.

Weekend Trip to The Barn KT9

Booked the site for my daughter and 5 friends who had a great time fending for themselves. They loved the fire pit, hammocks and using the bbq for the first… They are already planning the next trip!

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

What a beautiful find. This campsite was the quiet retreat we were looking for. Spacious with clean utilities. The birdsong from the woods in the early hours was just incredible. The scenery was stunning and the staff super friendly. Close to some wonderful pubs and some of the most stunning walks in Sussex. I’d really recommend this campsite. I took my dog too who loved the surroundings. Only thing I’d add (and only minor) might be good to split the campsite slightly and have an adults only area.

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

Lovely easy to use campsite with clean and top quality facilities! Awesome to have a freezer on site - a couple more boma stands would be nice, as well as being able to purchase wood!

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

Nice flat field, lovely view and nice walks nearby. Had a really nice weekend

Weekend Trip to Lordington Park Camping

Lovely campsite and happened to be very quiet which suited us. Would definitely recommend

3 nights at Chalky Downs

A campsite with a view! This campsite has the perfect location where you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but can be in Brighton city centre within 15 minutes. Facilities were great, lovely and clean, and Sharon was so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely return.

Weekend Trip to The Old Airfield

Lovely site with great facilities in a very picturesque area. Really good for a base for nice walks through the new forest, highly recommend especially the pizza and cocktails are a great touch.

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Lovely campsite. Exactly what you need to relax and get away from the city for a bit.

1 night at Tomkins Farm

Tranquil, large open spaces. No noise or light pollution. The owner was lovely, very polite, professional and helpful. The alpacas are a treat to interact with and spectate, a much appreciated rarity for a campsite to have. I would certainly stay again if in the area.

2 nights at Lordington Park Camping

Great site, very quiet and peaceful, all facilities were kept to a high standard and I would definitely come again!

2 nights at Woodlands Camping

Beautiful spot, quiet and peaceful. Great woodland to explore. Will definitely return there

Weekend Trip to Laleham Camping Club

Great staff, helpful and friendly. Large pitches, clean washrooms & showers. Right on the river ( across a quiet road) for walks. Great pub called Three horseshoes a 15 min walk away, make sure you book for a Sunday lunchtime. For a quick getaway 40min out of London we’d def return!

1 night at Woodlands Camping

Stayed over Sunday to Monday and we only saw one other van. The Clearing is a lovely area surrounded by trees with facilities a minute away. It’s all basic but clean and functional. We will definitely go again.

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

it was our first time camping and it was lovely, would return!

Weekend Trip to Bramley Park Camping

Weekend Trip to The Hop Farm

Back to basics weekend camp. Loved the space due to size of venue

Weekend Trip to Littleton Farm Campsite

A lovely location with plenty of space with super easy access to plenty of nearby walks.

Weekend Trip to The Barn KT9

Lovely camping spot! Really cosy and inviting, perfect place to escape from the city just a stone's throw from London, great cafe and onsite facilities (barbecue, coal if needed, toilets, hammocks) - just enough to feel comfortable yet still embracing nature and the great outdoors! We loved it.

Otherwise you can book the Sauna area for private use on Friday nights and Saturday day. Do give us more than an hours notice, it is wood heated and it takes a while to get hot! CAMPFIRES We love campfires and see them as an integral part of the camping experience. Campfires bring people together at the end of the day, to cook, socialise and relax. The smell of the wood smoke at twilight and the excitement on the kids faces when the marshmallows come out are bound to set you up for a perfect night away from the city lights! We sell crates of firewood, and hire fire pits for you to use during your stay. MUSIC The Lower Fields are for quiet camping. We would like it to be the perfect place for children to sleep and adults to chitchat around the campfires. On the Upper Field and near the Centre Camp we do allow you to listen and enjoy any music. But please respect your fellow campers! We want everybody to be able to enjoy their weekend without being disturbed. We ask for quiet across the whole site from 11.30pm. Overall we are quite a sociable site, with things happening at center camp every weekend. and a public campfire to sit around for a few mins after your sauna. We have a great area for large family groups. We pride ourselves on helping new campers get the most out of the experience come and hay hello at center camp.

Food vans often visit the site, which is good news for those seeking easy meals at the end of a busy day. If you'd rather cook for yourself, hire a firepit and get grilling (logs and firewood are also sold on site). As for the location, well, things are indeed convenient. The site is under a mile from two pubs, a post office and a convenience store, and there’s a pick-your-own farm shop and bakery five minutes’ drive away.
