  • Family run, family friendly campsite, focusing on the important stuff

  • In the heart of Sussex, 30 minutes from Brighton, 1 hour from London
Wowo is a family orientated campsite in the heart of Sussex surrounded by beautiful countryside. We specialise in the things that we think are essential to great camping here at Wowo: 1. Camp Fires – We think camping just isn’t the same without a crackling campfire to sit around when it grows dark, cook your dinner on and keep you warm. 2. We are a family campsite – children and dog friendly, accommodating families to camp together in groups. 3. We have a large and varied selection of Glamping options for those campers looking for added luxury whilst retaining the rustic style of the outdoors. 4. We believe the great outdoors to be healing and educational. We host a huge range of Workshops to nurture and support this belief, as well as making your stay extra fun for all ages. 5. All the extras to give you everything you need when you are here: Large camp shop stocked with everything you need food and drink wise. Top notch facilities with flushing toilets in every camping field, and plenty of hot shower blocks and washing up. Food vans at peak times offer a varied selection of food and drinks for dinner and breakfast. The Wild Spa is also onsite giving an extra level of luxury for those that need a break. Sauna, plunge pool and treatments available. FREE entertainment for the kids - fire shows, music nights and talent competitions are all provided for free at peak times. Camping barn to relax in, as well as a shared workspace for parents that have to get something done, wifi throughout. All of this is surrounded by our beautiful Sussex countryside with a small Brook that runs through the centre of the campsite and provides water edge camping. Our special Tipi Trail is woodland camping at its best also nestled alongside the Brook.
