Such a beautiful setting, really is private with stunning views.
The check in instructions and how to find the tent were superb and made it so easy.
The tent itself is amazing, really cosy and comfortable and amazing furnishings.
Beds are very comfy and luxurious bedding and towels. Even the toilet toll was thick and luxurious.
Loved every second of our stay.

Group trip
Lovely camp site and very welcoming hosts!
We stayed in the Foxglove tent and it was lovely. The communal kitchen has excellent amenities. There was an oven, gas hob, pizza over, bbq, plates, crockery, cutlery and things to wash up! You have your own cupboard, fridge and shower/toilet which was great!
Easy to get to and not far from some great hiking spots.
We had a great time and would stay again 😊

This was our second time to Gravel Pit Farm and we would come back over and over again! The perfect glamping experience especially with children and a dog. Just what we needed to switch off for a few days. There is lots to do locally with national trust castles very close. Annabel the host is kind and friendly too.

Safari tents near Hastings guide
Where to go
High Weald
Wildflower meadows, farmlands, and woodlands stretch north of Hastings in the High Weald AONB. Escape the crowds for scenic walks or bike rides through the hills, admire the seasonal blooms at National Trust gardens, or go glamping in a tipi or bell tent. Over the Kent border, take a ride on the Spa Valley Railway, visit the market town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, or sample Kent wines at a local vineyard.
Kent Coast
East of Hastings, rocky coves and soaring sea cliffs give way to sandy beaches along the Kent coast. The White Cliffs of Dover draw the biggest crowds, but charming Folkestone is a favorite among coastal campers, with its pretty marina and burgeoning art scene. Nearby, the Romney marshes are a breeding ground for birds and other wildlife.
East Sussex Coast
To the west, Eastbourne and Brighton are two of the most popular destinations along the south coast. Check into a coastal campsite within easy reach of the beach and spend your days swimming, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding along the shore. Just past Eastbourne, the lighthouse of Beachy Head and the white chalk sea cliffs of the Seven Sisters lie within the South Downs National Park, where hikers can set out along the South Downs Way.
When to go
June through August draws beach-goers to Hastings, which is the liveliest time to visit, with festivals and alfresco concerts taking place throughout. Reserve camping sites and holiday parks a few months in advance if visiting at this time. Temperatures are mild along the Channel coast, making it possible to explore by campervan or caravan year-round.
Know before you go
- Hastings has several camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up everything you need for your camping trip.
- Hastings has excellent public transport links to the surrounding towns and AONBs, making it possible to get around without your own transport.
- Wild camping is illegal throughout Hastings and the UK, although there are some areas where it is possible with permission from the landowners.
