  • Dog-friendly wild camping site surrounded by woodlands in West Sussex
  • A 20-minute drive from Leith Hill and 35 minutes from the South Downs
  • Three pubs, food shop and butcher a short walk away; barbecues allowed
All about wild camping and the outdoors, the stroke of nature runs rather deep at Sands Farm Weekend Camping surrounded by green woodlands and the West Sussex countryside. The dog-friendly site just outside Warnham is 35 minutes’ drive away from the South Downs National Park and geared up for an off-grid, wild-styled stay in a remote field. There aren’t too many distractions around this site, unless you’re counting the footpaths and bridleways close by, including a couple directly accessible from the site. The local village 20 minutes’ walk away may also play a part in reeling you in, as it has a dainty church, small food shop, three pubs (two serving food all day) and a butchers to help you get the goods ready for a barbecue back on site. You’ll have a nice amount of privacy for your barbecue, as each pitch has its own mown patch in the long grass. The facilities on site are kept simple for an authentic wild camping break, so this means you’ll have access to portable toilets and running water at all times – but there’s no chemical waste disposal or electric here. While you already have a typical English village close by, you may want to chase down any missing essentials from your luggage in Horsham, a larger market town 10 minutes’ drive away, or the supermarket 10 minutes down the road.

Fresh eggs available for purchase and honey produced on site.

Great host, welcoming and friendly.

Very quiet place to relax in.

Pitches all nicely spaced out.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked I stayed here on a sunny weekend in August in a van with friends . We pitched up at pitch 12 & 11 right down the bottom of the field . Very quiet and beautiful . Just a field but so much space between each pitch. Lovely walks . It could do with a better map on the notice board to work out where the walks were . You can walk directly from the a wooded walk from the site .

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Host was great.

Toilets clean.

Plenty of toilet roll and paper towels for hand drying.

Washing up area and bins clean.

Whole site clean and tidy.

Very well looked after site.

Pitches nicely spaced out.

Easy to find.

Not noisy.

Drinking water tap on site.

I selected full stars for WiFi, there isn’t any WiFi service and it isn’t needed as the mobile signal is fantastic, so I’m using the stars to compensate as there’s no option for mobile signal.

Freshly produced honey and eggs on sale at a great price, although, I didn’t purchase as I was on my own and didn’t need to, but would if I had the need to.

Already booked another night next weekend to bring my Daughter and Grandson.

10/10 from me…
