Tennis Wells non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly team on arrival. Lovely site for wild camping. The cold water bucket showers were very refreshing after a hot day in the sun. The portaloos were always kept clean and there’s an abundance of clean drinking water provided in bowers. Easy to locate the camp site, with additional emails from the owners. Lovely place to go with young family a dog. Stunning location in the South Downs, with lots to do nearby.
