What customers say
This peaceful campsite offers well-spaced, flat pitches in a beautiful rural setting. Visitors praised the exceptionally clean and well-maintained rustic facilities, particularly the hot showers. The friendly and helpful hosts contribute to a relaxed atmosphere, with many appreciating the on-site animals and walks. While some noted limited WiFi and the need to bring toilet paper, the overall experience is highly recommended for a tranquil getaway.

Disliked Nothing

A good site with large level pitches and clean facilities
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked We liked the simplicity, the ease of access, the rustic looking but clean facilities, the hot showers, the large level pitches and the peacefulness of the site
Disliked We prefer a permanent building for washing, showering etc to be honest. This was ok but the toilets & showers are very draughty, we think that would not be comfortable in colder weather, ok this time as the weather was warm.

Pas conseillé si le calme est recherché
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked La répartition des emplacements sur le terrain. Un bel espace confortable.
Disliked Le bruit incessant des avions qui passent toutes les 3 minutes. Autant dire pas un endroit calme. Egalement bruit de la route. Ce n’est pas vraiment une ferme. 2 cochons, quelques vaches. Nous n’avons vu au un personnel. Pas d’accueil. Que des codes par mail. Peut séduire certains mais pas bous.

Peaceful, nicely maintained site in rural setting
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Peaceful, easy-going, nicely maintained site with rustic but effective facilities. Level, well-spaced pitches.
Lovely rural location - quite remote so you need a vehicle or good walking boots to reach any pubs or shops.
Good communication prior to arrival - didn't meet anyone whilst there.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We had a wonderful stay at the campsite and would definitely stay here again.
We were able to choose our pitch and we borrowed one of the wagons to get our stuff from the car, it was easily done in 2 goes!
The campsite had a great atmosphere, and it felt very laidback and relaxing. The campsite was quiet after 10 pm which we appreciated.
The facilities were really clean and there never seemed to be a queue for the showers or loos. The water in the showers was hot, and there was plenty of space to hang your clothes and towel. Washing up liquid was provided and we made use of the freezer to keep some freezer blocks cold. There were some loo rolls provided but not always, so don't forget to bring your own!
We also made a visit to the Highland Cows and it was such a great addition to our weekend to go and see them so close-up. We enjoyed a trip to Knepp Estate which is a short drive away and I would recommend this for some dog friendly walks, as well as cafe/shop etc.

Excellent, peaceful site.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We loved it here! It was so peaceful and the pitches were large and private. It was a 20 minute drive to the South Downs which was perfect for us. We thought not being able to park by the car would be inconvenient but actually we much preferred it. It meant that the pitches remained quiet and felt safe. Clean facilities but didn’t use the showers so can’t comment on that. We would definitely return here again.
Disliked Absolutely nothing!

A well kept site in the heart of Sussex wine country.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Clearly some thought has gone into this site which was good to see. It was easy to find & access, good flat & firm land with nicely spaced plots. Smart loos & showers & washing up station too.
The only thing I can suggest is to perhaps refresh the old signage for the footpath/s out the rear of the property (as clearly WSCC don't keep their signage in good order). We're bound to be back.
