What customers say
This campsite offers spacious pitches in a beautiful, peaceful setting, praised for its relaxed atmosphere and proximity to Hastings and the beach. Many reviewers highlighted the friendly and welcoming hosts and staff. Facilities, including compost toilets and showers, are generally described as clean and adequate, though some found them basic. While the woodland area is a hit with children, some visitors noted that larger groups could create noise. A few guests found the pricing high and had minor issues with staff communication or facility availability.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely campsite: friendly owners - very warm, welcoming and helpful. Pizzas on Friday night were great - delicious and reasonably priced. Really nice surroundings - nice to have the option of camping in the meadow or the woods (both lovely).
Disliked Not really a dislike as such but just a heads up that cars can't be parked at pitches, and some of the pitches are a fair distance when travelling with a lot of camping stuff. There are very large wheelbarrows though and a bell hop service (for an extra fee). Wasn't too much of a problem for us, and was nice to be in green space without cars...but may be an issue for those not as up for walking their gear to their pitches.

Liked Spacious pitches, friendly warden and relaxed atmosphere. Great location, moments from Hastings and the beach.
Disliked Some of the children in large family groups were very loud, this detracted from our stay a little.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly people - that's about it!
Disliked The toilets are compost loos (think festival toilet that's actually a hole in the ground) - yikes!
The trek from the car to the pitches is up hill. That doesn't sound a big deal but when you're carrying a weekends worth of camping gear, that's hard work.
There are no washing facilities. This resulted in me getting food poisoning from being unable to wash my hands after prepping food.
There are very few flat areas so pitching up means you're on some kind of slope.
The cost of WAY over priced for what it is.

From the manager: Lee we are pretty shocked by your review. Compost toilets are not for everyone, which is why you have options for different toilets in your field. Every toilet has hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray, and is next to a water point that also provides soap. Your food poisoning will not be a result of a lack of facilities. You and the other dads had an amazing pitches altogether, and when i came around cleaning the toilets , and asked if you were all ok you didn't speak up about the facilities?.
You had to walk 200 meters from the car park to your pitch we provide wheelbarrows and a Bell hop service that helps you with heavy items for a fee. Your tents were not on a slope you had lots of space and privacy, but, from what we've read, we are not the campsite for you.

Nice clean site
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Space was lovely and close to local town.
Disliked I thought the pitch was slightly more expensive than others we had been to. We usually pay around £35pn. This site was £55pn.
We found one of the owners rude. We stayed for 2 nights during the week and the website said reception closes at 8pm. We were arriving after work and received a phone call to check we were still arriving. The lady was very kind and explained that if it was a quieter night they like to head off at 6pm. She explained it wasn't a problem to arrive at site after this time.
The second night, my husband walked up to reception at 7.30pm to ask for some logs. The gentleman was rude and made a comment that people cannot read signs. There were no signs around camp to state they shut at 6pm. Only 8pm.
We just felt there were nicer ways to speak to customers.

Liked Super friendly host, Sky. Lovely surroundings and very peaceful. Once the new market garden is finished and new sapling trees have grown this site (pitch that I was on) will be stunning. Very enjoyable 2 night stay.
