  • Peaceful family-friendly site set in ancient West Sussex woodland
  • Sheffield Park five minutes’ drive; Millennium Seed Bank 20 minutes
  • Firepits available; solar-powered showers; food trucks at the weekend
Tucked into the South Downs in the middle of West Sussex, Kitts Campsite is peaceful and family friendly, offering three camping meadows surrounded by 100s of acres of woodland (well-behaved dogs will enjoy accompanying you on walks through the trees) in the spectacular High Weald National Landscape. The shops and restaurants of Haywards Heath are 10 minutes’ drive, and the lovely gardens and lakeside walks of Sheffield Park are five minutes away by car. This may be a back-to-basics site but there are enough facilities to keep everyone cheerful – the Sussex-timber field barn has flushing toilets, solar-powered showers and an undercover washing-up area. Every pitch has a firepit and there’s a wood-delivery service every evening. Massages and sauna treatments can be arranged by booking in advance, and on Saturdays, the Kitts Café serves hot and cold drinks, homemade cakes and toasted paninis. Come 6pm, the Loveabowl food truck serves delicious curry; turn up in hope there's some left, or let them know your order in advance. Alternatively, you can head for the country pub about 10 minutes’ walk away through the ancient woodland.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic site. Really friendly and welcoming host. Plenty of space. Great facilities. Campfires encouraged and host even delivers the wood to your pitch. On a hot day, free ice poles were offered to the children. Clean toilets and showers. Rules were respected by all. Back to basics site with lovely unexpected extras. Rustic food was available to buy on Fridays and Saturdays as well as coffee on a Sunday morning. Whilst we were there massages were also available to purchase. Loads to see and do either by car or on foot. Great location too.

Disliked: Nothing. Keep up the fantastic work. Love it. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Quiet campsite - perfect for relaxing. Amazing facilities - hot showers,
Clean toilets and an area to wash up (also hot water!) the pitches were really spread apart so you really weren’t disturbed by others. The campsite was surrounded by woods which you could walk through to get to The Sloop pub one side and the 360 taproom the other - both great places to hang out with inside and outside tables and food.
Each pitch had a fire pit and wood was available to purchase each afternoon - delivered to your pitch and you could pay by card.
You could order pizzas and other street food in the evenings and there was a bell tent for massages too.
It really was the most perfect campsite - we will return!!

Disliked: Nothing - honestly - it was an amazing stay

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely host, I was made to feel very welcome. Was very quiet on the first night and I had one of the fields to myself but I felt perfectly safe, second night was busy but pitches are spaced quite far apart so it felt less busy than it was. Internet connection is hit and miss but that was not an issue for me. Fire pits ready to use on each pit and clean loos and showers. Great walks and places to explore nearby. Very dog friendly too. Great place would definitely return.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Everything. This is a great campsite, under new ownership. We had such a warm welcome from Davy on arrival. We got a superb pitch surrounded by bluebells, a great rope swing (which kept our 8 year old entertained for hours) and lovely peaceful countryside. Brilliant fire pits included and you can buy wood on site/ they deliver to your pitch. Great facilities too. It was a hot day when we arrived and Davy even drove round and offered ice pops which was a lovely gesture too! We have a dog who had an awesome time too. Lots of friendly guests on site and pitches are spread out over three different fields.

Two brilliant walks directly out of the campsite, one to the sloop inn (which was great for drinks in the sunshine) and one walk all the way to Sheffield park stream museum. Which was also past a great little brewery / taproom overlooking fields.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The site was absolutely beautiful, with trees to separate areas and bluebells as our view. We were all thoughtfully spaced out, no overcrowding which was wonderful! Great facilities, very clean with hot showers and flushing loos. Also appreciated the separate male / female loos / showers. Really enjoyed the curry on the Saturday night, the food was very authentic. We will definitely return! Thanks Claire and Davy.

Local attractions

Explore the gorgeous Sussex Downs with a ride on the Bluebell Railway from Sheffield Park Station, or take time to explore the glorious lakeside gardens and historic estate at Grade 1-listed Sheffield Park (both five minutes’ drive). There is more stunning parkland at Borde Hill Garden (15 minutes), and you can visit the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst (20 minutes) as well as exploring 500 acres planted with shrubs and trees from across the globe. If you fancy a day by the sea, Brighton and Eastbourne are both about 45 minutes’ drive away; you might also like to check out the dramatic sea cliffs at Birling Gap (50 minutes), or sample fish and chips on Worthing Pier (45 minutes). Should you hit a rainy day, take a tour and enjoy tastings at 360° Brewing Co + Taproom (five minutes), or enrol the kids on pottery-making courses at Pots of Love (15 minutes). If more energetic wet-weather pursuits are required, a visit to Fun Abounds Trampoline and Gymnastics Centre (20 minutes) should ensure that everyone ends up happily worn out.
