What customers say

This is a basic, peaceful campsite with stunning rural views, often described as a great option for "back to basics" camping. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, friendly and helpful owners, and proximity to a pub and the beach. While some note the limited facilities, particularly only one compost toilet and no showers, most find this acceptable for short stays given the value and location. Suggestions include adding another toilet.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Lovely site with gorgeous views. The field is very sloping and at peak times you would be hard pushed to find a level pitch. Many lovely walks from site - the Jubilee trail is one and there are dozens of other East Sussex footpaths - and the pub is 5 mins away. The beach is 10 mins away down a very very steep hill (hard work coming back up!) I couldn’t find a non road route. There are no shops around and nothing at the beach midweek anymore which would have been handy to know. The farm shop has quite a few supplies as stated. The compost toilets (one in each field) were spotless and very well stocked.
The site is peaceful with lovely views and a walkers paradise.

Disliked The inconsiderate tw6t that ran their car engine constantly all evening long on Monday night. Probably charging their brat offspring’s iPad…..

From the manager: Thank you for the 8/10 review!
Sorry, I didn't realise the lock was broken until you mentioned it in this review. I am getting it fixed today, thanks for raising it. I have bags of logs in my car, ready for anyone that asks. I don't advertise logs in case the farmer hasn't got any ready, it depends on his workload.
Warm wishes,
Caroline

Very clean and quiet campsite. Thanks…

Laura h.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location, Caroline was super welcoming and friendly,

Disliked Toilet closest to the farm - the lock isn’t finished, you cant shut the door, you could fix this quite easily or provide some way to lock the door.
Also you dont provide a scoop for sawdust or a sanitary bin.

No bins in general

From the manager: Thank you for the 9/10 review!
Sorry, I didn't realise the lock was broken until you mentioned it in this review. I am getting it fixed today, thanks for raising it. The bins are at the farm, 200m away, to keep them out of sight. I try to remember to tell people, sorry.
Warm wishes,
Caroline

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a fantastic weekend at Pett Camping. Caroline is a super friendly host and gave us plenty of tips for the local area. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it so much. There was a new compost loo in our field which was very clean, well stocked and even had a small library inside! Short 20min walk through fields to Pett Level beach and the local pub is a 5 min walk away. Closest supermarket is an Aldi <10mins away on the outskirts of Hastings.

Local attractions

It’s not a well-known tourist attraction, but the village of Pett has much to offer for visitors – it’s the kind of place where you can still watch cricket on summer weekend afternoons, stop by at the pub for a pint of local ale and/or join in with various activities in the village hall (a yoga class, perhaps, or something for the kids). Once you’ve spent some time at Pett Level beach (10 minutes’ walk), perhaps you’d like to get a little further along the coastline to the fossil hunting hotspot Fairlight Cove (20 minutes’ drive) or the stunning sand dunes of Camber Sands (25 minutes). Hastings (15 minutes) is another good option, with a historic tinge, and Rye (15 minutes) has a whole lot of antique shops as well as a harbourside nature reserve with bike hire available. If the kids demand a bit more action, try Knockhatch Adventure Park (45 minutes) – or take them to see the cute animals at the South of England Rare Breeds Centre (half an hour). Port Lympne Safari Park (45 minutes) is the place if they’re after bigger beast spottings.
