Tomkins Farm

Positiv It was the first time we had been in a non-electric campsite that was so well organised. Breakfast, bar, pizzas delivered to your pitch! Fire pits in all pitches, and wood deliveries every day
Excellent toilets and showers, even though they are outside, the water was very warm.

Negativ There were so many kids! There are restrictions with music, and kids should be in their pitches at 20:00 and controlled. Obviously, that didn't happen. The first night, they were playing around until 22:30.
Second night, music from I have no idea where from was loud until late…. So next time I'll take my speaker… if I need to suffer other people's kids… they will not complain about my music

Positiv We loved staying at Tomkins Farm. The place is very quiet, child-friendly, and there are beautiful walks around. Bonus points for the animals (llamas, sheep, alpacas, and camels). There are nice facilities, clean toilets, and good showers. There is also delicious food at the shack if you don't want to cook your own.

Positiv Stayed there only as close to where I was taking motorcycle training and feeling love with the place. So much so I plan to return. Yes it is basic but excellent value an in a beautiful location no stunning location. Phil was very friendly and I wish him well

Negativ None really approach road is a farm road so a mclaren is out and I say basic so no hookup or powershowers etc and motor homes are out (I had a camper van) but that said it was all the better for that.

Thank you for a peaceful relaxing stay

Positiv Everything!
Especially the shower. It's rustic yes. But the water was warm, enough space to change and if you're lucking to be showering in the blazing early sun like I did the open roof gives an amazing experience.

I'd give 6 stars for value for Money if I could.

Positiv Beautiful campsite. Nearly 360 degree views. Wonderful for nature lovers and those who like nice scenery. I was lucky enough to see an owl at dusk. Nice and friendly owner.

Positiv Just loved peace and quiet and the countryside and seeing camels in the Sussex countryside was a bonus.

Positiv The campsite was wonderful. I enjoyed the open space - which made sound silly when camping in a field, but it felt quite secluded, very spacious and not on top of other campers. We were given the choice of where we wanted to pitch up, more in the open field or nearer to the trees. We were provided with a fire pit and bbq grill and bought wood & kindle for a small fee when the owner came around on his quad with his little dog! The forest was accessible and we happened to be next to a secure forest tree swing for the children to play on, and even my 70yr old grandad enjoyed having a turn. The campsite was quiet, meaning we could really enjoy nature and it didn’t feel crowded and noisy. There were shower and toilet facilities, that always had toilet paper and a small mirror for me to do my make up in the morning. The llamas and alpaca were wonderful, it was beautiful to learn these creatures were here to live out the remainder of their days and were not used for meat, wool or milk. This meant you could enter the field via the gates and walk with the heard, this was a fantastic experience for all of the family and came at no additional costs. The owner was friendly and down to earth and my grandad enjoyed conversing with him on multiple occasions. On the weekends they even offer a tent service for drinks from the fridge, including wines, ales, etc which you may scan the QR code nearest your tent and get drinks delivered directly to you. I believe there were also some food options of pizza on Saturdays but as our stay commenced on a Sunday we didn’t take part in this so couldn’t comment. Overall a fantastic stay and we certainly will be returning.

Negativ I wouldn’t say these two things were dislikes for myself personally but two important things to note.
All music is banned due to licensing. This may be a dream come true for some, but for others who want to have some background noise, it’s worth noting this may not be the place for you.
Secondly, all rubbish must be taken home with you. This is another thing that isn’t really a dislike but is something to consider for longer stays or larger families.
