General

  • Spacious back to basics site in the South Downs National Park
  • Within half an hour's drive of Chichester and Portsmouth
  • Next to woodland with fab views; half an hour's walk from local pub

A secluded, simple site in the middle of the South Downs National Park? Splendid. Those who look for space and fine views while on a rural break should consider a stay at Clarefield Copse Wild Camping, in a quiet corner of Hampshire 15 minutes’ drive from Petersfield.

As you might expect from a spot inside a national park, the views from here are pretty fab – as is the amount of space around the place from which to admire them. The owners have kept things low key so as not to interfere with their natural surrounds, simply installing a shower and toilets (regularly cleaned) and a drinking water supply, leaving plenty of open space to play games, light a barbie and construct a campfire.

Bike rides and walks are top activities around these parts – start by taking a wander by the lake next to the site or on local footpaths, or, just maybe, strolling to the nearest pub in half an hour or so. Many a mile of trail runs through the national park, and there’s much more strolling to be done in nearby National Trust properties or on day trips to Chichester and Portsmouth (both half an hour away by car).

    Great communication with the campsite owner resulting in relaxed campsite with lots of space. Basic facilities but all that's needed to spend some time outside. Field is situated in a natural dip so despite forecast encountered limited wind. Straightforward walk across field to/from the nearest pub (1.5miles). Enjoyed watching variety of birds over the site.

    This place was really easy to find, called the number I received via text confirmation when I arrived and the gentleman came straight to me and showed me where the pitch site was, toilets, shower etc. Super friendly and welcoming! The site was dry and very spacious, loads of room to choose from. I was on a 3-day hike totalling 100 miles and so I pitched close to the toilets/shower! The shower itself was relatively basic, but there was enough water pressure and warmth to get clean comfortably. Would highly recommend if looking for a stopover or multi-night stay.

    We loved this site. The views are beautiful, there's plenty of space, and the wildlife is all around. We stayed here as a base for visiting the Weald and Downland museum (which is about 45 mins away) and it was a really nice weekend. Our children enjoyed making friends with other children on the site and playing in the field. There was plenty of room for them to run around and play without disturbing other campers. It is also really dark at night, much darker than the skies where we live - great for star gazing :)

    Well spaced pitches, no campervans or cars, and some some basic ammenities make this a perfect camp site if you want to enjoy proper camping. Being in the South Downs AONB you get to enjoy dark nights (stars!) and beautiful walks.

    Title: Tranquil Haven in Picturesque Countryside

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting a campsite nestled in a serene and beautiful location, surrounded by breathtaking countryside and an abundance of wildlife. This hidden gem proved to be the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
    From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the peaceful ambiance that permeated the entire area. It was evident that the campsite had been carefully designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The lush greenery created an instantly calming atmosphere.
    One of the highlights of this campsite was undoubtedly the location. Located away from busy roads and tourist hotspots, it offered a true escape into nature. The tranquil surroundings allowed for uninterrupted relaxation, providing a much-needed respite from the stresses of daily routine.
    The friendly and welcoming staff were always on hand in the evening to assist and offer logs for the campfire

Local attractions

Folk who’ve invested in a National Trust membership can surely get their money’s worth out of this area: aim for 18th-century Uppark House (10 minutes’ drive), wander around Woolbeding Gardens (10 minutes) and admire the art collection at Petworth House (half an hour) – tipped to be one of the finest in the NT’s possession. (Or try Hinton Ampner, Slindon Estate, Winkworth Arboretum…)

There’s a whole load more history to see down by the coast, too. If it’s maritime times gone by that interest you, head to Portsmouth to potter around the historic dockyard and mosey around the Mary Rose Museum (or, for something more modern, sail up the Emirates Spinnaker Tower to see the sea from 170 metres up). Weald & Downland Living Museum (20 minutes) is a fab place for a glimpse into real life from days of yore.

If you’re simply planning to fill your break with lots of rural rambles, perhaps it’s a wise idea to lay in supplies for a restorative drink upon your return? Langham Brewery (20 minutes) is worth a visit for a tour of the steam-powered brewery, and there are local vinos to pick up at Trotton Estate (10 minutes) and Upperton Vineyards (20 minutes).

Must see

  • Uppark House and Garden (3.2 miles)
  • West Dean Gardens (6.6 miles)
