  • Wild site in peaceful woodland on the Sussex Weald
  • Five minutes' drive to East Grinstead shops, pubs and Bluebell railway
  • 10 minutes to Ashdown Forest and 20 to Ardingly Activity Centre
Walk in the steps of Winnie the Pooh on this wild woodland patch of the Sussex Weald. There’s a touch of drama about checking into Evergreen Farm Woodland Campsite: you make your way to a spot 150 metres from the main site, and you won’t see anything except the trees. A quad bike with a trailer roars down the path to pick up your stuff and take it to a tiny, peaceful site in 10 acres of ancient woodland. With sleeping among the trees, cooking on firepits and listening to the birds, you could be in the wilderness… but you’re five minutes’ drive from town and 40-odd miles from London. It’s a simple site, focused on peace and quiet in the natural surroundings. Guests have two compost toilets to use; 25-litre containers of drinking water are provided, and firewood can be obtained from the farm (affording a chance to meet the sheep, pigs, goats and horses). A half-hour walk or a five-minute drive and you’re in East Grinstead, an attractive medieval town well furnished with pubs, eats and supermarkets. The site is also within walking distance of Standen House, an arts and crafts home with William Morris interiors and eye-catching hillside gardens. Nature tamed: a neat contrast with your wild wood accommodation.

Local attractions

While you’re in East Grinstead, grab a ticket to ride the Bluebell Railway, where restored steam locomotives take you on a 40-minute tour of the Weald countryside finishing up in Sheffield Park. There's acres of landscaped gardens, parks and woodland to wander round there, and a lake to picnic by. Walkers and climbers congregate at Stone Hill Rock (15 minutes’ drive), a geological oddity of sandstone crags ripe for clambering up and hiking around. Equally stuffed with trails for the curious is Ashdown Forest (10 minutes), a mix of deep woods and open heathland home to deer, adders, nightjars and a certain famous bear. Make for Pooh Sticks Bridge for the must-do activity on the river stream (20 minutes from site) and seek out Five Hundred Acre Wood to see where it all started. Furry friends of a different kind can be encountered at the llama park 15 minutes from the site. No deer at Deer Leap Park (five minutes), but mountain bikers have 240 acres of trails and slopes and scrambles to cycle up, down and off; hire bikes here if you haven't brought your own. If water’s more your thing, Ardingly Activity Centre (20 minutes) has the aquatic full monty, from fishing to windsurfing and kayaking to paddleboarding.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (adults only, secluded)

Liked Chris, the host, kindly advised where to park and gave me a lift to the pitch site in his 4x4 as my car would have likely become stuck (the site in places was quite muddy)

Disliked The mud! Avoid the pond site unless there's been a period of dry weather. I'd advise sticking to the field/grass pitches near the car park if possible.

There was an overfull rubbish bin right next to pitch site, but given it was out of season and I was the only one on the site it was not an issue.

Me and my partner both really enjoyed our stay at Evergreen Farm…

Andrew S.

Pond non-electric forest floor tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Having my own secluded spot in a wood clearing next to a pond. This is truly back to nature camping with peace and tranquility. The do seem to have family friendly camping fields also. Getting a lift to the camping spot on the back of a trailer was a bit like being on a rollercoaster. I'd booked to visit as it was fairly handy for the Greenwich Meridian Trail but now I want to come back again as it's the perfect but of escapism close to London

Disliked Would probably like to be able to buy some firewood. Though really I ought to have asked and probably will next time

Will definitely becoming back here as soon as possible!
