Mongolian yurt on the move, pulled by yaks

Family-friendly site in the High Weald National Landscape
A 15-minute drive from Battle and Rye; 20 minutes from Hastings
Within 10 minutes' walk of a 15th-century pub; good stargazing area

Venture deep into East Sussex countryside for a spectacular stay at Dogwood Glamping, a family-friendly site set among organically maintained surroundings in the High Weald National Landscape. Although it's based in a rural region, the site is excellently placed for day trips to beaches, ancient woodlands and famed Sussex attractions. Firstly, it's just a 15-minute drive away from Battle and Rye and 20 minutes from Hastings. Herstmonceux Castle is a 35-minute drive from Dogwood Glamping for yet more historic sites. Plus, if you like to travel by bus, the bus stop a short walk away from the site has a connection to Hastings in 35 minutes. The local village, Brede, is 10 minutes’ walk away and has a 15th-century pub (also accessible through the fields from the site; just make sure to bring a torch). In Broad Oak, 15 minutes' walk away, there is another pub, along with a bakery and a small shop. Larger supermarkets are in Hastings, within 15 minutes' drive of the site. A small store selling organic food is back at the park. At Dogwood Glamping, amenities include a hot shower and two toilets, fresh water, wash basins, a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area: do look out on your wanders for the many animals who live at the park too…

What customers say

This is a small, peaceful campsite praised for its quiet, natural setting and friendly, helpful owners. Guests enjoyed the on-site roaming farm animals, including goats and ponies. Facilities are generally considered clean, with hot showers available. The location is noted as good for visiting nearby towns like Rye and historic sites. Some minor issues mentioned include potential mud during wet weather and occasional lack of basic facilities. A chaotic check-in process was experienced by one guest.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Quiet in an area close to Rye

Disliked Very sharp turn to access from a busy road
Hedges need to be clipped back and overall this camp site needs a big tidy up looks tired and uncared for
EHU cables draped along hedges and no circuit breakers

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your visit and, in particular, for choosing to leave a day early due to the presence of blackberries, a decision welcomed by more than one of your neighbours, and one which helped make another great weekend for visitors to our unique and, as you say, quiet campsite. Thank you. As for your claim that there are “no circuit breakers” this is completely untrue. You just didn’t see them or, if it was an issue to you, even come and ask us where they were. We would have gladly shown you.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked The quietness (bar my own child making a lot of noise!), the free roaming farm animals. The Red Lion pub is only a 10 minute walk away.

Disliked The other local amenities are a good 15 minute walk away (shop and pub). After overnight rain the site was a little muddy.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked We were greeted on arrival and ensured we knew where we were going. Pitch 11 is massive! Great for our little Eriba and awning.

We were in amongst some tents and made friends with others already there. The site is very peaceful and sits in a wooded area. There are toilets and a couple of showers in a block that also has a washing up sink. It is all perfectly functional if rather rustic! It fits the vibe of the place.

The Red Lion pub served a brilliant meal on the evening of my wife’s birthday and comes highly recommended.

Easy reach of local attractions so would happily visit again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Local attractions

Mosey on over to the Brede Steam Giants (35 minutes' walk) for a display of 35-feet steam engine pumps from times gone by (just check ahead to make sure it's open). Fans of mechanical contraptions may also want a go on The Kent & East Sussex Railway running through the Rother valley and stopping 15 minutes' walk away from the National Trust’s Bodiam Castle (15 minutes' drive). Rove over to Rye (15 minutes) for bicycle hire and more countryside explores on the cycle paths and lanes. Then, head to Battle (15 minutes) to visit the site of the famed Battle of Hastings in 1066. Meanwhile, Hastings – for seaside days and nightlife – is 20 minutes’ drive away; those who’d like to take to the water might well want dips here or could travel on to Camber Sands (25 minutes) to kitesurf.
