  • Rural farm in 300 acres of East Sussex countryside, with nature pond
  • A 10-minute drive from Battle; 20 minutes from Hastings
  • Fishing pond on site; half a mile from a café, post office and pub
Yet to stay on a farm in the East Sussex countryside? There’s a first time for everything, and Netherfield Place Farm Camping is one excellent place to do it, for sure. Surrounded by the lush countryside of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – and with great westerly views for extra-special sunsets – this quiet campsite is conveniently located on the edge of the village of Netherfield, an easy half-mile walk from its café, pub and post office. With such a rural East Sussex setting, there’s limited phone reception here. That makes it just the place for a bit of a break from screen time. For alternative entertainment, the site has a nature pond where you're likely to spot ducks and the occasional visiting heron, while the surrounding fields are home to birds of prey, deer, rabbits and other wild creatures. The site is flat and well-maintained with plenty of space, ensuring a good level of privacy and plenty of room for all your camping kit. Netherfield Place Farm Camping is located at the end of an unmade road, meaning there’s minimal traffic noise. Ultra-low light pollution is another perk of staying here, boding well for outdoor activities like family stargazing or romantic evenings by the campfire. For such nights, firepits are available to rent and logs are sold on site. Feel free to bring your own selection of campfire snacks or pick them up once you're here at the site's handy mobile tuck shop. Netherfield Place Farm Camping is also home to a well-stocked fishing pond, where you’re welcome to cast your line for small roach and rudd. All ages are welcome, just bring your line along and have a go (please follow the on-site rules and any instructions from site staff).

What customers say

This spacious and quiet campsite offers an off-grid, back-to-basics wild camping experience surrounded by countryside, ideal for a peaceful getaway and stargazing. Visitors praise the clean compost toilets, outdoor showers (solar/cold water available), fire pits, and a nature pond. The large field is well-mown with countryside views, and walks are accessible from the farm. While the access track is noted as long and bumpy, requiring slow driving, the manager is helpful and friendly. Some reviewers highlighted the lack of phone signal as a positive for switching off. Minor points included occasional waits for toilets during busy periods and some initial uncertainty with signage.

From the manager: Hi Louise,
Thanks for staying and your review. It’s great you enjoyed your stay and the views. The track is a work in progress and as you say navigated slowly provides a good transition to the pace of life in the field. Hope to see you again soon.

Local attractions

Whether you’re rusty around the edges or a self-proclaimed golfing pro, this may be the time to sharpen up your skills at Battle Golf Club (five minutes' drive)… or opt for a smaller-sized version at Hastings Adventure Golf (30 minutes). If you do stop by Hastings (25 minutes), be sure to check out Hastings Castle and the Smugglers Adventure (30 minutes). The caves there were once used by smugglers on the south coast. Other historic places include Bodiam Castle (20 minutes), a grand 14th-century fortress with gorgeous grounds and spiral staircases, or Battle Abbey (10 minutes), next to the 1066 battlefield. As for some relaxing days out, Camber Sands (40 minutes) is a great place to unwind, unless you decide to take up the windsurfing or kitesurfing. Picking up the pace is easy again at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest (20 minutes), which has walking trails and Go Ape, or the Drusillas Park (35 minutes) zoo.
