Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Fantastic campsite. Beautiful site, great walks nearby, and easy access to pubs/brewery and restaurants. The campsite staff were really friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Wonderful hospitality and a beautiful site. Myself, my wife and daughter backpacked into Hook Farm from London for a two night break. We were warmly greeted on arrival by Megan. We wandered round the site to select our pitch. Lots of choice, beautiful scenery, woodland and green grass. The natural and environmentally friendly ethos here is evident and refreshing. Some slopes to be aware of but entirely manageable; good to arrive on the earlier side to have the best choice. We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Fox. The owner, (my apologies for not recalling your name!) is a true gentleman and perfect host. I was looking for the easiest way to walk to the shop for a few food bits, he stopped his vehicle to enquire as to whether I needed assistance, we then had a lovely half hour chat about all sorts of things. 5th generation farmer, the 6th generation stopped by also! Genuine hospitality and friendly, warm people who care about what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation, followed the cross country directions and had a fabulous walk to the shop, then again later with family to the Fox. We loved our experience and stay at Hook Farm. A gem of a place and made to feel very welcome. A treat to find a rural site that is simple yet beautiful without artificial noise and with just the right, simple facilities for a recharge.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely spot, allowed to pick our own 'pitch' - nothing marked out, just go where you want. It's a back to basics campsite as advertised and that's what I like. We recevied a friendly welcome and everyone on the site was plesant and stuck to the no music after 10 rule. Lots of families and a good atmosphere.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Lovely campsite with great views. Plenty of space - over the BH weekend it was quite busy, with a whole range of different groups etc, everyone very friendly. my kids loved the resident sheepdogs, and the pigs. The toilet/shower block is very nicely done and kept as clean as possible, recognising it was very busy when we went. We'd definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Lagnersh camping

Decent campsite. Been there a couple of times. Looks like right hand will be allocated to caravans only and left hand will be with electric. Last year had some birds and few animals around... Looks like have been removed, probably taking a lot of time to look after. I'll definitely come back again this year... Lovely staff... decent facilities.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

I really enjoyed my time there host was brilliant, lovely bit of land makes you feel like your really in the woods which was nice! Would recommend 10/10 for sure

Weekend Trip to Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

Beautiful setting, great facilities ! The site was clean, surrounded by trees, large fit pit in the middle. Loved it , would highly recommend - very peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Littleton Farm Campsite

Fab location, beautifully unspoilt, quiet, great for kids to explore around the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

Wonderful campsite that is a great balance of rustic and off-grid (no WiFi or electricity on the pitches) and creature comforts with amenities such as flush toilets, shower with hot water, washing up stations and communal kitchen with a little gas hob and fridge. We were two families with 3 kids ranging from 2-7 years old and they loved the little treehouse/platform, swings and badminton court, not to mention the firepit for s'mores and the gigantic space to run around. With Whitstable, Canterbury and Margate a short drive away, there are lots of options for day excursions and for picking up provisions, while West Blean and Thorden Woods great for hiking - the kids loved seeing various animals and finding all the little dens along the trail. We will definitely be coming back!

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.

Weekend Trip to Holistic Woods Campsite WILD

Beautiful section of woodland. Great for walking. Plenty of choice on pitch.

Weekend Trip to Daisy May’s Farm

Another great weekend here kids loved it again. Always ask to come back

Weekend Trip to Housedean Farm Campsite

I loved my time there! The campsite is easily accessible by public transport and the nature surrounding it is breathtaking.

Weekend Trip to Housedean Farm Campsite

Housedean Farm is a lovely site in the rolling hills of the South Downs and I'd recommend it. I'd also recommend booking directly with the site rather than through Hipcamp who will not stop emailing me. I need one email when I book a campsite - the booking confirmation. No matter if you opt out of marketing emails, you'll get at least five unnecessary emails as follows: "Enhance your trip with extras" "Your trip is coming up! Here's who's onboard." "Reminder for your trip to Grass Pitch" "Time to pack your bags!" "What did you think of Housedean Farm Campsite?" There's just no stopping the spam from this company

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Lovely staff, so friendly and welcoming Nice quiet site, basic but just what I needed!

Weekend Trip to Freedom Farm Camping

We loved staying at Freedom farm - really secluded away from all noise, and beautiful grounds! Helena and Duncan were so hospitable, checking in on us that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Thank you so much!

Weekend Trip to Otter Channel Campsite

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 Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

Esmerelda was beautiful and had everything we needed! We loved how the entrance door looked out to the calming views of the fields. Truly stunning. We will definitely be coming to stay again.

2 nights at Dernwood Farm Wild Camping

Lovely campsite for a family trip. Gorgeous woodlands to explore, good facilities, and good clear instructions for how to navigate the site and outlining the rules. Also a very good shop onsite! Would definitely come again.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

This was our first time camping, and it was a very beautiful experience. The amenities were clean and there is firewood if needed. Just be careful of the bumpy road :)

Small Meadow Farm

3 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Fairlight, England

This low-impact, off-grid campsite is set within a working permaculture fruit and herb farm, with a small flock of sheep that are helping restore a wildflower meadow. There is a strip of woodland at the top of my field where you can escape summer heat under the trees and put up hammocks or hammock tents. I am offering only two pitches at any one time (up to 6 people per pitch). Each pitch has their own fire pit at the top of the field near the woodland, with camping lower on the slope nearer to shower unit and compost toilet. Each pitch also has its own compost toilet tent in the woodland, near the fire. Should the weather be uncertain there is the option of renting the group tent in addition to fire and camping areas, the group tent has a yoga deck/ flat outside area and can be used for sleeping or hanging out. Up on the top field we can open the horsebox as a field shelter/ field kitchen at a small extra cost, great for keeping food and camp cookers in when your are off exploring the beaches and surrounds. There are stunning far-reaching views form the fire pits and even more stunning views of Rye Bay, a short walk away on Mountain Field or at the Balehouse -which is the info centre and cafe of the Hastings Country park. Nature and the species I'm surrounded by are paramount, such as butterflies, wildflowers and birds. The whole site is full of birdsong, especially up near the woodland by the fire pits. At night you get clear views of the stars and my favourite thing is to wake up in the morning in the summer, seeing the dew on the grass, connecting with natural peacefulness and first rays of sun. In May the woodland and field are covered in bluebells and the blossom in the permaculture orchard is astounding. Do bring a yoga mat at stretch first thing on the yoga deck! Please Note: This is a working farm so farmer and woofer(s) are on site, in areas that are not part of the camping facilities. Exclusive use refers to campsite areas not the entire farm. New option for 2024, exclusive rental of campsite area, £250 for up to 10 people, 5 extras at extra £20 a night! Why not meet friends and family on the field and enjoy the scenery over a fire, BBQ or giant cook out/ picnic. It's a very peaceful and natural spot, yet only 10 minutes drive away from the Old Town in Hastings with all the music, people and festivals that go on. It really is the best of both worlds and I'm happy to share it!
