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.

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.
