The campsite was lovely, huge with nice compost loos and you could camp anywhere. Fires were welcomed and the hot showers were great too.
However, the site wasn’t very flat, so you had to pick a good spot.
It also seems like the site is only weekends which is a lot of effort to get setup for only two nights! If we could camp for longer we’d definitely be back as we loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at The camp surroundings are well maintained, what I noticed is that no annoying flies buzzing around when sitting out and while cooking!.
The host and people on site are very helpful and friendly. One night we needed help with lighting a camp fire and they were so quick to respond.
The facilities in the camp are a bonus, if the weather is nice you won't get bored.
Ladies toilets were okay my kids complained about the men's!!

Hook Farm was an absolutely beautiful site, surrounded by woodland and lovely walks. All of the staff were extremely helpful and we had such a memorable stay. The facilities are simple, and eco conscious which is what we were looking for. The warm showers were lovely. Thank you for hosting us!

This was such a perfect campsite for my friend and I over the bank holiday. We took the train into Hayward’s Heath and grabbed a cab outside the station (cab is about £20 each way). As others have mentioned, it’s not the flattest site but it’s easy enough to find a spot. It was so quiet and peaceful and lovely to have a fire right at our tent. In terms of nearby food, we had a great burger over at the Missing Link brewery, a quick drink at the Cat Inn and a sunny breakfast at the Pericles Cafe (all accessible on foot not that far from the site). We went on a couple big walks walked through loads of local woods and up to the Gravetye Estate and the Weir Wood Reservoir - there’s plenty of public pathways (useful to have the OS app for this) and beautiful countryside. We’ll definitely be back. Didn’t use the showers but the compost toilets were totally fine and not smelly and there was plenty of water points around.

What a wonderful place to escape the rat race! Such friendly and attentive hosts and what a beautiful, peaceful setting. Kids ran free through the woodland - building dens, getting their hands dirty, and making new friends. Yes, the pitches are sloped and compost toilets aren’t for everyone - but we love the back to basics slow living. We also appreciated the “no music” rule and how quiet the campsite got towards 10pm. Despite being the bank holiday weekend, the site was a pleasant level of business - not crowded at all. We will be back!

Great site. Lovely setup, lots of space and showers were great. Good little hut supplying wood, kindling and, most importantly, marshmallows! Toilets were well spread around and in decent condition. Would definitely recommend and would return. It’s a back to nature site but worked perfectly for a long weekend away with my 10 year old. Nice pubs nearby for dinner/lunch and easily walkable. Thoroughly recommend!

Love it. Great campsite - really friendly staff running the site. The showers were good. The scenery was stunning! Very spacious. Fun to explore with kids. Great village close by.
Only slight critique is that much of the site is on a gradient which can be slightly precarious.

Great site with freedom to choose where to pitch. Not easy to find a level pitch however there is plenty of space. Good clean showers and plenty of composting toilets around the site. For the price it was well worth it.

Lovely friendly back to basics campsite (don’t take that as a negative). Loads of space, open fires, roasted marshmallows, great star gazing and a lovely pub in walking distance (the fox).
My little boys first camp and he absolutely loved it.

Beautiful in every way. Peaceful, quiet with stunning views. Lovely outdoor space to rest and watch the rolling hills. Anna's little touches like breakfast etc were very thoughtful. The dog loved it too. Would recommend to anyone.

The Downs stables is lovely place to spend quality time. All the directions were clear and precise, Theo's pod was perfectly prepared for our arrival and the premises are comfortable. We got to see many horses too. We sure will return to Ruth's land.

What a beautiful find. This campsite was the quiet retreat we were looking for. Spacious with clean utilities. The birdsong from the woods in the early hours was just incredible. The scenery was stunning and the staff super friendly. Close to some wonderful pubs and some of the most stunning walks in Sussex. I’d really recommend this campsite. I took my dog too who loved the surroundings. Only thing I’d add (and only minor) might be good to split the campsite slightly and have an adults only area.

We’ve picked a selection of well-run camping and glamping sites and skipped the holiday parks to reveal only the very best camping hideaways. Whether you want to explore the High Weald or the South Downs, to build dens in the woods or skim stones on the beach, you’ll find a good base to pitch your tent or a place to rest your head in our collection.
