- Pop-up meadow camping overlooking Bodiam Castle in rural East Sussex
- A 20-minute drive to Sissinghurst Castle Garden and Go Ape Bedgebury
- Wildlife on site; easy walk to pubs; stately homes and beaches nearby
Damson Field Rustic Camping is a small and peaceful pop-up site set in a 10-acre field in East Sussex countryside, overlooking Bodiam Castle and near the village of Ewhurst Green. The vibe here is very much all about nature, so you can camp among fruit trees and relish the wildlife and seclusion.
Owners Terry and Lynda (ably assisted by the ever-smiling Nathan) welcome you to cosy up around the campfire, light the barbecue, toast marshmallows or simply chill with a book.
If you take a stroll around the ancient orchard at sunset, you might be lucky enough to spot badgers, deer and pheasants, and after dark you can watch the stars glittering in the night sky. There are a handful of traditional pubs in Bodiam village (20 minutes’ walk, no need to take the car) if you feel like upping the pace.
As this is wild camping, there is no electricity but separate portaloos and a standpipe with fresh water are available. Kindling and firelighters are provided for a small charge, and you can borrow firepits on site.
A few site rules: no ball games please, and noise is to be kept to an absolute minimum between 11pm and 8am to allow all guests to get a well-earned night’s sleep. The owners ask that you take all your rubbish home with you too.
Open from 14/04/2022 to 29/08/2022
