  • Family site behind a 17th-century pub in the South Downs National Park
  • Jane Austen’s House 10 minutes’ drive; The Watercress Line 20 minutes
  • Spacious, dog-friendly grass pitches; meals and takeaways available
Staying in the South Downs National Park is an attractive prospect as it is. However, with a characterful 17th-century inn to its name, Camp Whichway @ The Pub With No Name gives you much more to look forward to: top-notch food, fine ales and a warm welcome with a sea of friendly faces. Tucked behind a popular and storied pub, the pop-up site sits on a plateau about 800ft above sea level and at the meeting point of three parishes steeped in history. You can get your feet under the table in the bar every night, freeing up plenty of time for you, the kids and any dogs to explore the fertile farmland and undulating chalk downlands of the national park by day. The level site has generous grassy pitches in a flower-filled meadow that’s a staggering distance from the pub. There are flushing loos and hot showers in the timber-clad facilities block, plus refuse disposal and a washing-up area close by. Guests have easy access to ambles – straight from canvas to countryside if you like – under mature trees, as well as stunning sunsets and star-filled skies on clear nights.

What customers say

This is a small, peaceful campsite praised for its proximity to an excellent pub offering good food and a wide selection of ales. Visitors appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, level pitches, and clean toilet facilities. Some reviews note occasional issues with the shower drainage and intermittent water supply to sinks, though these are generally seen as minor drawbacks in an otherwise idyllic location. The site is considered good value and many guests express a desire to return.

Gregory L.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Pub was nice, food was good and drinks reasonably priced.

Friendly enough vibe and nice location. Seemed everyone was quite chilled and having an okay time.

Disliked Facilities: low water pressure and unisex design meant there was only a limited capacity for a large amount of people. Sinks stopped working. Toilets stopped flushing. Everyone we spoke to was complaining about it.

Price: Expensive for what you get. No water facilities in the field such as a field tap, so everything has to be done from a big sink outside. Limited washing facilities considering the amount of people on site. Unisex toilets meant overcrowding.

Crowding: Bank holiday weekend was loud, like really loud. Very large groups of people smoking drugs, playing music loudly into the very late hours and beeping car horns.
A lot of people for a small field. Tents where packed together. It was alright but not recommended unless you enjoy "festival camping"

Lack of information: had no "check in experience" a lady eventually found us with a clip board but never explained what's what with the the site.

Liked Old school pitch up and stay camping. We enjoyed ourselves.

Disliked The grass in the middle could do with being maintained.
Also staffies should be allowed on this site, education is needed!
