Liked: A beautiful, hidden, idyllic place way up in the South Downs with stunning vistas where the only sounds you can hear are birdsong, the hoot of barn owls and the occasional bleat of sheep. Nursed my 77 VW Westfalia, Nessie, up the steep climb and very glad I did. New(ish) manager Rachel is really friendly and welcoming and determined to keep this spot as wild as the name suggests!

Liked: Very rural site. No car noise, airplane noise or light pollution. Great place for exploring South Downs. Plenty of space. Exactly as it was described.
Disliked: My only very small gripe is that it would have been helpful to have grid reference texted to me as well as post code. Post code perfect for drivers, but as a walker I would have accessed the site from a different way.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and I hope you enjoyed your stay. To assist walkers, I send our exact location using what3words (travels.being.flattered) which is on our welcome email. Thank you for your feedback on providing a grid reference - this is very useful to know and something I will look into providing. With best regards, Rachel

Liked: Newhouse Farm is wild camping at its best, stunningly beautiful, away from everything yet close enough for a walk to the pub if wanted. The way the site as been set out is perfect allowing you to have your space (and views) uninterrupted, space for groups to get together too. You are surrounded by woodland too. First aid, and emergency fire boxes around, charcoal disposal, water and portaloos all available and logs can be purchased if needed. The host is great with contact and couldn’t have been more accommodating - we will be back! WiFi not great for me BUT that was was I needed!

Liked: The tranquility and the views. We virtually had the site to ourselves during a half term week which was amazing. The (chemical) toilets were clean and there is a new and much more conveniently sited drinking water tap and the water tastes better. Rachel (new operator) is lovely and welcoming wants to make sure the site works whilst keeping it simple which we really appreciate.
Disliked: The track up to this elevated site is uneven and could damage the underneath of most regular cars. It's been like this for years and has got worse but the good news is that Rachel is going to improve this. Access to the surrounding woodland is now more restricted due to ash dieback but this is beyond the site's control and there is still plenty of woodland to enjoy!

Liked: Fantastic, peaceful spot. A wonderful place to get away from it all and improved since our last visit - water at the top of the hill and wonderfully maintained toilets. We were welcomed and checked on a couple of times during our stay. We will definitely be back!

Liked: Really lovely views
Disliked: I think it's fair to say that this isn't really a campsite. It's actually simply a field. It's a very nice field and I have no problem staying somewhere fairly basic. However, the less that is provided, the less should be charged. Here we paid £40 for one night for a not very flat field with a couple of portaloos in it. No toilet block, no shower facilities, no washing up facilities, no hook up. Again - nothing wrong with this, but not for £40. Either what is provided should increase or the price should decrease.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed our beautiful views. Our site is described on www.pitchup.com as a 'wild' camping experience with no shower facilities, washing up facilities or electrical hook up. I am sorry if you were expecting these facilities for your stay. Our prices match other local campsites in this area who offer the same facilities. We also allow the freedom to park at your pitch and we welcome camp fires and dogs. We recently invested in a new drinking water system to allow campers to enjoy drinking water at the uppermost camping field. We offer eight toilets which are serviced everyday and emptied weekly, waste and recycling facilities, as well as fire extinguishers and first aid kits for campers safety. We have also invested in clear signage for campers who have not visited our unique spot before, tucked away at the end of our farm. We are investing heavily in land management to return our farm to organic status, and to further increase the beauty, biodiversity and ecology of the area. I wish you all the best in your camping adventures and thank you for visiting Newhouse Farm Camping. With best regards, Rachel
