Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Everything! This place is so lovely….its my 3rd visit this summer and this time I camped alone. It feels very safe here and I really appreciated Karen checking in with me when she was on site, knowing I was there alone. The pigs are great fun! And there’s lots of other animals on site too. Lots of trails for hiking and other attractions nearby

From the manager: Glad you all had a good visit ,it was lovely to meet you ,we found a coat at your pitch if you are missing it ,please get intouch if so ,kind regards karen x
Loved it, would definitely be back.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked I genuinely had a great weekend!
When we first got there we saw the long grass and thought, oh no!! BUT... I actually love the idea of the long grass between each pitch space. Each pitch space had a picnic table, and a fire pit ready to use. You could pitch multiple tents per pitch, and the toilet/shower space was well kept, and very easy to use.
The owner is lovely, and popped by after we got settled, and had our tents sorted.
The outside kitchen was handy, and the bags of wood were reasonably priced.
The play space was well kept, and full of outdoor games.
Disliked Not a major dislike, but the toilet lights aren't very bright, so used my phone torch, when going for a nighttime wee.

Small, quiet and clean. Great site tucked out of the way.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked I loved that it only had 10 pitches which meant it wasn't too crowded.
Each pitch was easily identifiable by means of a picnic bench and fire pit/grill.
There were bags of logs available for a reasonable fee and frwsh eggs from the farms' chickens.
An area for washing up is provided as well as the cleanest toilet/shower block I've seen on a campsite. There's also drinking water available on site.
It's dark (other than the fire pits), so the night sky had little or no light pollution.
It's easy to find, with little signposts guiding you once off the main roads.
Disliked There's nothing to dislike.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This is an excellent campsite. Small so it won't ever be crowded, open enough for children to run around. The pitch sizes are ideal and come with a bench and firepit, and you can also park your call next to your pitch.
The open kitchen area is great to use.
The toilets were nice, and the showers looked nice too.
A farm is next to the camp field with animals, and there is also a swing and footballs and nets for the kids, which was great.
Karen was friendly and helpful when speaking with her.
Overall, a nice campsite that I shall use again.

This campsite is the perfect getaway. We recommend it to everyone!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We loved this campsite and thought that it was a perfect and idilic country campsite. It had the cleanest toilets and showers that we’ve ever known a site to have. We loved that you could go into the animal cages and the owner was so friendly and accommodating. Every pitch had a fire pit and picnic bench that was a nice touch. Each pitch was spread out and the campsite on the whole was very spacious and peaceful. It was the perfect getaway and you felt safe to let your children play on the different equipment. There was a trampoline, swing, slide and different games like connect 4, giant Jenga, badminton and football. We will definitely be back. It was a 10 minute drive to Ardingly Reservoir where we did water sports and recommend that aswell.

More than outstanding
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Absolutely EVERYTHING.
I don’t know what I expected but this was a little piece of heaven.
We wanted off grid and simple, this delivered way beyond. The basic necessities are there (clean toilets, hot showers, activities for the kids, a stove, sink, fire pits, bbq, logs). We didn’t want electric and mod cons. We wanted back to nature with basic essentials and feel we lucked out more than!
Disliked Nothing. Anyone that complains about this place, got the wrong place!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We are back here 3rd year now. Our children (girls) love it. They go to play with animals or swing, as soon as they open the eyes. They can also burn their energy there after overdosing on smores jumping on the trampoline.
We will be back next year too.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked It's such a lovely place to stay. Karen is so helpful and always so bubbly! The dogs are really lovely, too. always nice to see them when they pop over to the tent. The added extra of the benches and fire pits by the pitches is a lovely touch and helps when sitting eating food. This is our second visit, and we can't fault the place. The toilets and shower facilities are always topped up and kept clean and tidy. The washing up area is really nice too with the extra bonus of the gas stove too to heat up water! You can visit the animals too what's really nice and you can even get in with the pigs and say hello.
Definitely will be going again soon! 😁
