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 Woodlands Camping

Jason was a welcoming host throughout. Littlewood camp was magical, and plenty of space in the Meadow. It’s basic but beautiful. Thank you.

Brilliant campsite, quiet and very well kept. Facilities are super clean and looked after and location great for day trips by foot, bike or even train. Karen and Simon are very helpful and lovely, made sure everyone is looked after and also gave great tips for activities. We’ll come back.

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Camping

Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful site. Pitches are clearly marked and spacious. Facilities are basic so if you want flushing toilets and luxury showers, this is not it. Host was very friendly and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

It was a lovely weekend camping at Cattlestone. Very clean facilities and great views. Donna and the staff were so welcoming and checks that we were doing fine with our stay. We even got to meet the friendly highland bull named Stanley. 😁

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.
