  • Spacious eco site 15 minutes' drive from Brighton and beaches
  • Café within 10 minutes' walk; pub and 24-hour shop within 20 minutes
  • Stunning views of hills, especially at sunrise and sunset
Set in 54 acres of spectacular South Downs chalk grassland, outrageously easy to get to (it’s an hour from London by train), and run on firmly green lines, Wolstonbury Dreaming has just a handful of spacious, remote pitches so you can relax in your own private outdoor space. Enjoy barbecues on open fires (buy locally sourced firewood on the site) while listening out for the skylarks and enjoying the spectacular views of Wolstonbury Hill and Newtimber Hill. Should you choose to venture off site, there’s a café within 10 minutes' walk of the site and a popular pub and a 24-hour shop in Pyecombe village within 20 minutes’ walk. Plenty of restaurants are within 15 minutes’ drive offering food and drinks. Off-grid, state-of-the-art compostable toilets and washing facilities are available for all, along with a back-to-basics, outdoor bucket shower. The farm provides certified clean drinking water from its own borehole, and runs on its own solar panels – so if you need to charge your phone and your battery bank has run out, there is a charging point in the barn.

What customers say

This spacious, dog-friendly campsite offers beautiful South Downs views and ample pitches with picnic tables and fire pits. Facilities include clean bucket showers and compostable toilets. Guests praise the friendly, welcoming hosts and the peaceful, eco-friendly ethos. Located close to walking paths and Brighton, the site is ideal for exploring. Some visitors note distant road noise, but many find it fades into a background hum. Access via a steep gravel track is manageable for most vehicles.

Liked Lovely quiet spot (albeit with the distant sound of traffic) with beautiful views and a lovely welcoming team. My son and I had a fab night and enjoyed having a campfire despite the drizzle. Bucket shower was also a highlight :) Thanks Becki, Simon and Zoe

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Had such a lovely time here with my sister. It’s now one of our favourites and we will most certainly be back next year. The pitches are very spacious and feel cosy, surrounded by long grass. Amazing views up Wolstubury Hill or out to the downs, also good for a walk (especially if there’s a solstice or meteor shower!). Loved the eco site, the showers were amazing and all super clean. Big thank you to Simon and Zoe who also made us feel very, very welcome :)

Perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Liked A beautiful rural site no thrills just a basic pay for what you get. The owners were very welcoming and took the time to explain how things worked and where everything was I loved the site and will be back there ASAP

Disliked The road is an old farm track with over hanging trees so take your time

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Wonderful site with a small number of large individual pitches that can accommodate multiple tents if needed.
The hosts were lovely and gave us a little tour of the facilities.
Surround by nature and tranquility and we will definitely visit again.
