Liked: Plenty of space (both overall site and size of pitches), pleasant setting, toilet and wash facilities decent quality, good location for coast.
Disliked: Expensive. The policy of no refund on booking within 4 weeks of arrival is pretty ridiculous in my opinion and not something I've seen with their competitors. No rubbish disposal facilities.

Liked: The area was really spacious and loved that it felt quite private from the general public. Compost toilets were kept clean most of the time and was always stocked with toilet paper which was really nice! Thank you! (We brought our own toilet paper regardless) Staff were very friendly and welcoming, came over to see if we needed any wood etc and it wasn't a bad price, we made 3 bags of wood last two nights. There's a nice walking trail too. The pizza van coming on the Saturday night was a lovely touch also, great pizza and cheesy garlic bread. Showers also done the job, no complaints there. Overall very chuffed with our weekend experience here and would certainly come again!
Disliked: Portaloo toilet had no liquid in so couldn't flush it, was not usable after one day. Having no bins caused a massive problem for us as we were a huge group, had lots of bottles, bbqs, food etc and we couldn't fit all those bags in people's cars (due to the amount of camping gear we already had) We had to drive around Lewes on the saturday trying to find big bins so we could chuck these bags away and it was not easy.

Liked: Lovely spacious site. Warm welcome from host. Showers were lovely and warm. Stunning views. Beaches are a short drive away. Loved my weekend there. Weather was brilliant.
Disliked: Maybe think about putting a potaloo on the opposite side of the field. But not a massive dislike

Liked: Fire pit, lovely surroundings, very clean. Laid back without silly rules. Really nothing not to like about this place.
Disliked: Would have been good to have a rubbish skip as with all the camping gear etc, was difficult to get rid of rubbish. Ended up taking trips to lay-by rubbish bins with what we could not get into the cars.

Liked: Yamp camp Firle has a name that sparks joy. The views were lovely, there was plenty of space and the facilities were great. The host was warm and welcoming and we had the best time! Had a flock of geese fly over and spotted a couple of hawk-moths at charlesten Estate which were beautiful and very a unusual find!
