Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Lovely little campsite, very friendly owners, great spacious level pitches. Plenty of shade on hot days.
Good facilities for washing up, recycling, rubbish and bbq coal.
Disliked Showers and toilets were quite dated and showers not overly clean, drains were blocked so you stood in a puddle of other people’s hair whilst showering. Wasn’t overly pleasant.
Don’t forget your shower shoes!

Lovely site and would definitely come back again.
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Our first time camping and it was just the perfect site. Annie was fantastic when we had a first aid emergency on our last night. She went above and beyond to help us when my daughter burnt her hand on a marshmallow. Nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay. The field at the back was perfect for the kids to play ball etc without upsetting any of the other campers, although they all seemed to join in anyway. Showers were a lovely temperature.
Disliked Not a dislike but maybe something for the future if you had any expansion plans - just to make the toilet / shower block a little bigger so more can shower at the same time if wanted. It hadn’t been a problem for us though just a thought for the future.

Love it
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Loved the camping ground, it is cosy and quiet. Even we kept the noise to a minimum and the new moon was spectacular with little light pollution.
The spacing between pitches is generous and the facilities are always clean and functional. Access to the cuckoo trail is brilliant with no road involvement so it was great to wander.
We ordered a take away from The Royal Indian in Hailsham and Johns Fish & Chips, Hailsham. South Downs is amazing with its off road walks and cycle routes.
All in all, love the site. The owner is brilliant, she gave us information about local eateries, attractions…
Thank you, we will definitely be back.
Disliked The temporary fix in the men’s toilets actually isn’t a problem, they are clean facilities, we look forward to seeing the newly repaired roof come next Spring!

Fab stay, fab site, fab owner; overall we will definitely be back ☺️
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Annie is super friendly and welcoming; we were given a fab pitch with our friends as requested. The site is perfect, quiet yet so much room for the kids to play.
Annie even came to the rescue after a little accident, which was so greatly appreciated.
If you want a quiet, friendly, welcoming campsite; this one is for you!
Disliked Not a dislike, a couple more showers/toilets would be my only comment.
