  • Small eco-campsite 15 minutes’ walk from the South Downs Way
  • A 15-minute drive from Brighton and half an hour from Glyndebourne
  • Off-grid site power by solar panels; pub 15 minutes’ walk
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 camping 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 popular pub in Pyecombe village within 15 minutes’ walk, plus plenty of restaurants 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 bore hole, 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

What really stood out was their commitment to sustainability—the campsite is beautifully eco-friendly, with recycling stations, and a strong emphasis on leaving minimal impact on the environment. It felt great to stay somewhere that aligns with my values.

Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, this campsite offers the perfect balance of tranquility, sustainability, and accessibility. I’ll definitely be back!

Anna S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked A wonderful, small campsite with large individual pitches mown into the long grass (massive for my tiny tent!). The pitches are in a row so don't feel at all crowded and instead the view from the pitch is across the field, up the hill, with a few sheep hanging around.

The owner was very friendly and around for a chat. Cars are parked in a small parking area, not at the pitches, which I prefer. It's only a 1 minute walk and wheel barrows are provided if needed. The location was perfect for me, in the downs but easy to get into Brighton.

Disliked The only downside was the noise from the A23, but that's inevitable given the location and not a big problem.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Spacious campsite with extensive views of South Downs and dog can be off-lead. Clean facilities provided with plush towels. Right by the Wolstonbury Hill walking path with scenic views. Each site has ample space with picnic table and chairs provided with an area for you to set campfire or bbq. Very friendly owner. We had a great time and so did our dog, we hope to return again.
