Positiv Another amazing stay at Hale Farm. Great pitch, site not over crowded, flushable toilets and hot showers. Can't ask for much more!

Negativ Nothing!

Positiv We had such a wonderful weekend at Hale Farm—it was our first-ever camping trip as a family, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The facilities were clean and well-maintained, which made everything feel easy and comfortable. The location itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and plenty of space to relax and explore.

We especially loved wandering around the farm and meeting the animals- such a fun experience for the kids (and us adults too!). One of the highlights was picking up fresh produce each evening; it made our BBQ dinners and breakfasts in the morning feel extra special.

A big bonus? The coffee van each morning-such a treat to start the day with a proper cup of coffee while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. And we also loved the short scenic walk through the fields to Gun Tap Brewery, great chilled atmosphere and even better beer and the pizza truck was fab too.

All in all, Hale Farm made our first camping trip feel like a real adventure, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!

Positiv Spacious camping field with plenty of room for pitching and room to park a vehicle next to the tent. Our five man family tent was one of the smallest there and there's room to pitch a tent double that size with a separate gazebo for cooking.
Fire pits at each pitch - the owner comes round each day to deliver, with kindling and firelighters if you need them (£8 for the wood, £4 for the firelighters and kindling).
Facilities are spotlessly clean, the owners and staff seems to go in several times a day; in five days I never once found any mess in any of the facilities. Three decent showers - one in a family sized hut and two singles.
Two decent sized washing up huts with two sinks each.
Coffee truck appeared each morning serving espresso from the back of a van.
Good location if you want to go to the coast or up into the High Weald.
Good pub, The Six Bells, in Chiddingly is family friendly and with great food - only a mile from the site.

Negativ We had no complaints at all and a lovely stay for four nights. Only four toilets - two water closets and two compost. With all 27 pitches occupied I could see this being a bit too limited but, to be fair, we didn't experience a problem and we stayed in the middle of the school summer holidays over a weekend. The two WCs are a bit public with large gaps above and below the stalls. There are only two (double) sinks for washing / teeth cleaning one is right outside the WCs and the other by the compost toilets - which had no cold tap. The single showers didn't offer a great deal of privacy in that you can see from outside if they are occupied. There was no mobile signal for us anywhere on the site (we're on O2) - good if you want to get away from it all but might be an issue for some.

Positiv Host very friendly and always happy to help.
Facilities were good always immaculately clean. Fire pits were a great idea, as was being able to buy produce from the farm. Pitches a generous size.
Loved being able to look around the farm in the mornings.
Also loved the coffee van visiting in the morning.
Would recommend this campsite.
I’m not rating Wi-Fi as I don’t believe it’s necessary when you camp. We camp to get back to nature and away from screens!

Positiv Space, open ness, the owners

Negativ Hot water wasn’t working on one washing up bowl. Could do with water restrictions on taps as saw teenagers running hot tap for ages wasting water

Positiv Vrijwel alles. Een van de mooiste campings die we hebben bezocht. Keurig schoon en netjes, fijne rustige sfeer en heel aardige beheerders Scott en Rachel. Het enige minpuntje is het ontbreken van WiFi.

Negativ Het ontbreken van WiFi.

Positiv I went with my family and we all enjoyed our time at the campsite, especially the farm that was the kids favourite part of the visit and the goats were so friendly. The owners are very welcoming and kind, they had fresh eggs for sale which was great. The facilities were clean and well maintained and having fresh drinking water was so convenient. I loved that there was a kitchen area with a sink to make life easier when cleaning dishes. There is plenty of space for your tent and to run around or play. I definitely recommend anyone to go and visit.
