What customers say

This spacious, back-to-basics campsite offers a peaceful, 'near-wild' experience with plenty of room and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praised the friendly staff, hot showers, and the option for campfires. While many enjoyed the natural setting and quiet, some noted that many pitches are on slopes and a few mentioned occasional plane noise. Compost toilets are present, with mixed feedback on their cleanliness and usage.

Liked Clean. Friendly environment. Very nice place to camp.

Disliked Its mostly a slope so there is a risk your car might get stuck if it rains. So just consider this to where you park your car.

Rusalina M.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely setting for a laid-back family friendly campsite. Lots of space, considerate people, no music and as close as you can get to a wild camping experience. A charming village is in a walking distance, with two great pubs easily accessible by foot (if this is something you are after).

Disliked It is advisable you arrive early enough if you want to pitch on one of the flatter parts of the campsite. Having said that, we still managed to find a good spot on a Saturday afternoon.

Dan A.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We absolutely loved hook farm! This was our 3rd time camping as a family of 4 and this was our favourite yet. We loved how unattached from everything we felt. We had a nice pitch and had lovely views!!

Staff were great. Charlie was very helpful when we arrived and I was helped with a flat battery on my van. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Shower facilities were perfect! Toilets weren't great. But that's just lack of education on people part. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Liked Great having the open fire on the ground, great hosts, excellent location.

Disliked Very difficult to find level ground (I didn't) so you'll be sleeping on a slight slope.

Local attractions

As might have been mentioned, Hook Farm is in an enviable location enveloped by the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; several walking trails and bridleways linking Weald villages and through splendid scenery lead directly from the site. Brighton is less than 20 miles away too for city days or nights out. Recommended options in the region include the colourful steam railway ride from East Grinstead to Sheffield Park on the Bluebell Railway, an 11-mile journey along the border between East and West Sussex, or wildlife watching at one or more of the Weald's couple of dozen nature and RSPB reserves. Ardingly Reservoir, close to Hook Farm, also has yachting, sailing, canoeing and hooking samples in pike, carp, tench, coarse and match fishing. At Ardingly village less than a mile from the farm, the National Trust's Wakehurst Gardens is a popular day out for the green-fingered as it's managed by London's Kew Gardens and is home to three national tree collections, England's biggest Christmas tree and the millennium seed bank, set up with the aim of preserving seeds from all native flora in the UK. (Kenneth Branagh's version of As You Like It was filmed here too if you feel like being dramatic among the trees.) Next door to Wakehurst Gardens, the South of England Showground should keep most tastes occupied with its events attended by tens of thousands throughout the year, including the South of England Show and dozens of public events. And if it's gardens you're after, plenty are within easy reach: try out Standen, Borde Hill and High Beeches just to start you off. Finally, fancy some forest to go with the woodland on the farm? Ashdown Forest is a six-mile trot from Hook Farm and has walking trails, pony trekking and other outdoor options.
