Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

Great place with the basics- that’s all you need when camping. Lovely setting

Weekend Trip to Primrose Fields Campsite

Very welcoming and lovely atmosphere, I forgot my pillows and was kindly lent some for the evening, first time taking my dog camping and he loved it and so did I! Will be coming back again soon for sure :)

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Camping

Beautiful site with everything you need for a brilliant break

4 nights at Chalky Downs

Genuinely could not fault anything about this site. Beautiful views, great amenities and owners that could not have been more accommodating. Truly a wonderful campsite and easily the best in the area. Quick bus into brighton just outside too.

3 nights at Abbey Home Farm

Lovely, peaceful campsite. All of the facilities were well maintained. The countryside views were lovely and it was so good to be close to the farm shop. Would definitely visit again!

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

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 😊

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

Beautiful setting. If you want to get back to nature this is the place for you! We were a large family group celebrating three birthdays and it’s perfect to pitch up for campers and campervanners. The toliets are great and the shower was hot. My only feedback is to sort out the temperature of both showers so they run at a decent temp. One was cold and the other was too hot. And more bins on site so you can recycle more easily - food / non food. You’re encouraged to recycle at home as it’s a greenfield site. We’ll be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Fleets Paddock Glamping & Camping

Lovely glamp/campsite with great amenities and close to Canterbury. We had a great time and our bell tent came with bed and bedding, lights, crockery, camp stove and kettle. Small kitchen on site with a shared fridge. Hot showers, fresh toilets. Tastefully done. Rustic but cute and fully functional. Would highly recommend. Loved the fact you can order logs, kindling, matches etc direct with your booking. We’ll be back.

Weekend Trip to Housedean Farm Campsite

Lovely spot. Very good of them to refund us the difference when half of our party couldn’t join in the end. Much appreciated.

Weekend Trip to The Old Airfield

Last minute booking, very accomodating. Stayed on adults only side of airfield. Very quiet. Great addition to be able to hire firepit and wood. Will be back again

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

We had a great weekend on the campsite, beautiful setting, lots of space to pitch your tent and have a camp fire. Great pub just down the road, only negative was the toilet/ shower block was sometimes quite busy but other than that I’d highly recommend and will be returning again in a few weeks!

Weekend Trip to Daisy May’s Farm

We had a great stay at Daisy May’s farm, met some other lovely families while we enjoyed our first camping trip as a family. Welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere. Lovely time seeing all the animals.

Weekend Trip to Daisy May’s Farm

My family had a great time camping at daisy May's farm, this was our first visit and our first time camping. We loved that we could pitch up where we wanted and the fact there was proper toilets and a shower. the staff were all so lovely, they really engaged with the children particularly the young girl with the horses who kept them occupied for hours and hours. I saw another young man help a family setting up their tent he seemed to have such a great attitude and all staff answered any questions we had about animals or activities. My family all loved spending time with the animals the play area was also a big hit. I can not recommend this place enough and we will be returning in the summer holidays!

Weekend Trip to Radcot Leisure on Thames

Lovely quiet little campsite, not very busy even in kids holidays. Gorgeous setting on the river. Car parking plentiful. Just the one pub and little shop, and no supermarkets within walking distance, so bring all your supplies with you. Toilets are very clean, showers are clean but very erratic haha

Weekend Trip to Primrose Fields Campsite

Really lovely campsite. Very welcoming on arrival and gave us good information about the site and facilities. We loved the field and felt we weren’t on top of other groups. Felt very safe and secure. We will be using again! Thank you very much.

Weekend Trip to The Old Airfield

Great camp site ..lovely hot powerful showers and clean toilets. Perfect location to the beach and the beautiful walks of the new forest. Great atmosphere and very helpful staff will definitely be back 💝🙏

Weekend Trip to The Barn KT9

Just had the most incredible overnight bivvy experience at KT9 Barn – a true haven for anyone bikepacking or wild camping near London. From the moment I reached out, Charlie’s communication was faultless – warm, welcoming, and full of useful details to make the most of the stay. You instantly get the sense that he genuinely cares about the experience you’re going to have. Already planning my next stay.

2 nights at Primrose Fields Campsite

Lovely hosts, beautiful field. Incredible field orchids! Well managed site. Will come again!

5 nights at Abbey Home Farm

Abbey Home Farm Campsite is a real find if you’re looking for a peaceful, rural getaway. I loved the quietness and natural feel of the site – it’s surrounded by countryside and feels properly off-grid in the best way. It’s particularly great for families with young children. The site limits cars and doesn’t allow dogs, which made it feel really safe and relaxed for our kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s a gentle, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The on-site shop and café were excellent – stocked with fresh, organic produce and really tasty food. Everything is thoughtfully done and clearly in tune with the farm’s ethos. I had to delay my trip at the last minute, and the team were incredibly understanding, letting me shift the booking and even stay on extra days. That kind of flexibility and kindness made a big difference. There are beautiful walks straight from the site and plenty of local amenities nearby if needed – although honestly, once you’re there, you might not want to leave. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a slower pace in a gorgeous, family-friendly setting.

2 nights at Tomkins Farm

Before we arrived the communication was effective and succinct. We found the property easily and our pitch. We had chosen a ‘glamping’ tent that was clean, spacious and well appointed. It was a beautiful, green, calm and quiet area. Philip gave us a couple of great tips on where to eat locally.

We are fortunate to be in a 'dark sky' area, perfect for long, relaxing summer nights around the campfie, sipping hot chocolate, toasting marshmallows and spotting shooting stars!

Very wet weather and winter – please note in the off-season, and if very wet, the camping field is closed to vehicles, replaced instead by semi-hardstanding areas or our summer car-park area. Facilities are open but please be prepared for the vagaries of the weather, leaves, puddles and mud. To change pitch please let us know asap so that we can try if possible to find you another. Apart from the car-park, pitches can get very muddy in prolonged, heavy rain. If you are not prepared for these eventualities please do not book.

This pop-up site is in the small village of Burton, a 10-minute drive from England’s south coast and the New Forest National Park. Summers Camping by Pitching It is an off-grid site so you should get dark skies at night, but LED fairy lights create laidback festival-style vibes (as well as making a great backdrop for your holiday selfies). Acoustic entertainment is also occasionally on the agenda. It’s safe to say that this friendly site also has good amenities including hot showers, toilets, a coffee cart and an occasional pop-up bar. 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. Nearby seaside spots like Avon beach and Highcliffe Castle can be reached in about 10 minutes, while the stunning South West Coast Path starts about 10 miles west in Poole (30 minutes’ drive).

Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

People have been heading here on holiday for generations and although there are some affordable options in the centre of town, we think camping in Bognor Regis is the best way to stay. Look a little outside town and you’re immersed in rural scenery with both the South Downs National Park and the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty nearby. Choose camping in the area and you can have all the fun of the fair by day and evenings round the campfire instead of the cabaret.

Best camping, glamping, and outdoor stays in Bognor Regis guide

Overview

Campsites in Bognor Regis

Sussex and the south coast are hot spots for camping which makes Bognor Regis a doubly good destination. The town itself offers a large beach backed by a promenade with ice cream kiosks, mini-golf and old-fashioned amusements arcades. If you want to roll up your trousers and go for a paddle or eat fish and chips on the pier followed by an ice cream and a stroll on the prom - there’s no better place. But where to stay? Camping and glamping sites are found outside the town, of course, and all the better for it. Quiet nights on the campsite provide the perfect finish to busy days on the beach. There are plenty of campsites we’ve rated as cool within reach of Bognor; from back-to-basics sites in the nearby national park to up-market glamping sites where the luxury seems limitless.

Things to do in Bognor Regis

Bognor is all about the beach so don’t forget to pack your swimming kit! Head for the town’s main beach and dive right in. The seafront is dominated by the largest Butlins resort on the south coast and while that may not float your boat - your kids might like the look of the facilities. This giant holiday park has swimming pools and water slides as well as fun fair rides. The good news is, you can pop in on a day ticket to enjoy all the fun of the fair even if you aren’t staying on site. There’s more traditional fun with an 18-hole minigolf on the seafront and a little taster pier - that’s been much shortened since the town’s Victorian heyday. In town the tourist attractions are quaint, the 9-acre Hotham Park and the little Bognor Museum which provides a fascinating insight in to the history of the town. If you want to get away from it all, head for the hills and the South Downs National Park for walking, cycling, horseriding and more. West Wittering beach is a short drive along the coast and it’s not far to Chichester or Arundel whose independent shops and historic sites provide a change of scenery.

About

With its pier, promenade and long shingle beach, the seaside resort of Bognor Regis is the classic coastal town and a wonderful place to visit on a camping holiday. With Chichester Harbour and the South Downs nearby, there are ample good campsites in the vicinity. As always, only the very best make it into our collection.
