General
- Small, dog-friendly South Downs National Park site with two reservoirs
- A five-minute drive to the South Downs Way and paddleboarding on site
- Logs available for firepits and a pub five minutes’ walk away
Pick a hammock in the trees or a place to lay down underneath the sky and make time to relax, stargaze and get back to the basics… in between your wild swimming and paddleboarding, that is, because Wild Combe Camping in West Sussex has two private reservoirs for the sole use of their guests.
This small, rural site tucked away in the South Downs National Park has no electricity (just the stars and the odd festoon lights hanging around). This is very much a family-focused site (furry friends included) all about making memories.
What memories might these be? Well, perhaps nights around the firepit (the site sells logs from their felled trees for these) and paddleboarding on one of the two reservoirs (one is a short walk across a sleeper bridge and the other across a field).
There’s a splendid copse for children to have adventures, as well as a rope swing and hammocks in the trees, and handy girls and boys’ loos. When you don’t fancy yet another barbecue, walk five minutes to the pub in Elsted village, which has views of the rolling South Downs, local beer and excellent food.
The fuel will come in handy for all the walks in the South Downs – the South Downs Way is easily accessed five minutes’ drive away at Beacon Hill. Petersfield (15 minutes’ drive) to the west and Midhurst (10 minutes) to the east are places to sort any other essentials.
When you budding explorers aren’t here, the fields go back to the way they were, and nature takes back control. That means you’re likely to see lots of wildlife. If you’re lucky this might include bouncy deer, super-fast hares, pheasants, herons by the reservoirs and frogs that have made their way over the fields and hedgerows in search of a watery home.

Your time in the South Downs might take you to valleys, farm parks and historic estates… the National Trust’s Harting Down (10 minutes’ drive) is a peaceful pocket of wildlife with plenty of wildflowers and valley views.
