Liked: Great location just off the South Downs way with excellent showers and a well setup kitchen. Drying room would be really handy at other times too.
Disliked: No so much a dislike but an FYI if you are camping there are no plugs where you charge phones etc and there is basically no Vodafone coverage at the site

Liked: I camped for the night with my 14 and 10 year old boys arriving a bit soggy after a 12 mile hike on the SDW. It was great to have the communal lounge, kitchen, drying room and fire pit. We tried to follow traditional Bothy rules and leave everything as we found it. Everything including the washrooms were exceptionally clean. Having arrived after dark it was amazing to wake up to see the stunning location where we’d camped overnight. The people who run the site were lovely and friendly. All round this was a perfect little find. As it states you can’t drive there and can only reach here by foot or bike. For us I loved this about the place as gave us the taste of staying at an actual Bothy or Mountain refuge. Will definitely be back at some point!

Liked: Amazing facilities, toilets were very clean and well kept, lovely little kitchen. Also very nice walk there from Bignor Hill Car park. Fantastic location lovely woods and places to walk around. Also lovely owners very helpful. Definitely best for small groups, couples or lone travellers.
Disliked: The field is quite small which means you are quite close to other people, everyone that was there when when we went were very considerate but we do prefer to be a bit more secluded and private as you are right next to the other tents but this isn’t the end of the world.
