  • Eco-conscious green field site in the South Downs National Park
  • Eastbourne 15 minutes’ drive; Pevensey 20 minutes; Brighton 45 minutes
  • Showers, toilets and food truck on site; pubs a short drive away
At the eastern edge of the South Downs National Park, with cracking views over its green vistas and just a 10-minute drive from the famed Seven Sisters walk, Bramley Park Camping is an East Sussex site in tune with its natural surroundings. The owners are seasoned campers, bringing back the best ideas from their travels to create a place where nature can be enjoyed with as little impact as possible. Along with a respect for nature comes an easy-going vibe and a warm welcome for all guests, including your four-legged family members. You can choose where to pitch and park your car alongside. Solar lights keep light pollution to a minimum, and guests are asked to keep noise low late at night – a bonus for others on site as well as the wildlife that’s made its home in the surrounding protected woodland. Every weekend (plus on weekdays during peak season only), the on-site food station serves fresh pizzas, breakfast and coffee. If you're still peckish, the on-site shop stocks camping essentials, drinks, ice creams and bags of ice. Within about 20 minutes’ drive there are enough great beaches to fill a whole holiday: Eastbourne and Bexhill have a traditional seaside resort feel, or you could go for a more out-of-the-way day out at Pevensey Bay, Birling Gap or Cuckmere Haven. The bright lights of Brighton are a 45-minute drive away. Other outdoor adventures await close by with the South Downs Way National Trail linking up with footpaths about two miles from the site. Five miles away, Friston Forest has a family-friendly cycle route and a more challenging trail for mountain bikers. Facilities on site include showers and toilets (including disabled facilities), a washing-up area and recycling. You can hire firepits and portable chargers and buy logs. There are cafés, takeaways, pubs and food shops within about 25 minutes’ walk or a few minutes’ drive.

Liked The site is very pretty, secluded yet only a 15 minute walk to the train station. We enjoyed waking up next to a field with deer running free. Friendly staff and good facilities.

Disliked Some very noisy guys very late at night. They left the Gents in an unpleasant state the next morning.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (wild)

Liked The area is beautiful, the facilities were good, nice hot showers and good space to get changed. The pizza in the evenings (weekend) and the breakfast butties were genuinely delicious.

Disliked It might be different in summer holidays but there are a lot of adult large group
Bookings. It got pretty rowdy and some of the groups were aggressive, shouting and roaming around in the small hours. Maybe not one for solo female travelling. We camp a lot and this felt out of the ordinary but I appreciate you can’t check who’s booking in.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (wild)

Liked Friendliness of staff and guys in the pizza shop. Toilet block was good (little squishy for a bigger person) but fully stocked. Would definitely be back during nicer weather as due to the storm we left early after just 1 night. Was looking forward to trying the pizza but will have to next time I come!

Local attractions

If you’re walking along the South Downs Way, about three and a half miles from site look out for the Long Man of Wilmington, a 235ft-high figure etched on the side of the chalk hill. Head to Pevensey Castle and Pevensey Bay to see a very famous spot from British history. This beach is said to be where William the Conqueror came ashore in 1066 before the Battle of Hastings. The site of the battle itself is half an hour’s drive away from site, six miles outside Hastings and handily enough called Battle so you can’t miss it. If entertaining the kids is on the agenda, Knockhatch Adventure Park (15 minutes’ drive) and Drusillas Park (20 minutes) – both with rides, zoo and playgrounds – should be just the ticket.
