  • In a secluded valley between Battle and Hastings
  • Wildlife haven: spot badgers, foxes, deer, rabbits, owls and hedgehogs
  • Fishing lake, dog trail, coffee shop, adventure play and wardens 24hrs
As you might guess from the name, Bluebell Coppice Park is a woodland site. But you’ll need to stop for a sec and have a look at the site pics to get a full sense of just how scenic and well maintained it is: expect tall trees, carpets of spring bluebells, excellent facilities and wildlife all around. The park is in a secluded East Sussex valley between Battle and Hastings, deep in 1066 Country and with pitches surrounded by the owners’ private woodland. Look out for species of all sorts during your stay here: the woods are home to – among many others – foxes, rabbits, badgers and squirrels; woodpeckers, owls, buzzards and bats; mice, voles and hedgehogs; grass snakes and slow worms; dragonflies and damsonflies… and plants of all sorts including ferns, orchids, foxgloves and wood anemones. A small coarse fishing lake is also on site (look out here for mallards and moorhens) and there’s a dog-friendly trail for further walks in the woods. Once you’ve exhausted all those options, amble over to the coffee shop for refreshments, then – if the kids have any energy left – over to the adventure play area (it’s suitable for all ages of kids, but parental assistance may be needed for the very young). Pitching is in three fields: the biggest one with the amenities block (newly extended and renovated in 2019 ); the second with the fishing lake, and the third in a woodland area suitable for tents. All guests have access to the amenities block with separate disabled facilities, as well as free hot water available 24 hours a day, and acovered washing-up area. Wardens are on site at all times. And when you’re venturing off site? If you’re not sure where to make for first, the well-stocked tourist information point should supply some tips: you could, for example, have days in Hastings, Battle, Rye, more Sussex seaside towns, nearby nature reserves, the High Wealds, Sussex vineyards, Sussex castles…

What customers say

Great owners, lovely woodland setting. Clean facilities, honest shop & coffee popular. Peaceful, family-friendly. Watch out for busy loos/showers, dodgy Wi-Fi & tricky access roads when wet.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked From arrival we were greeted with three members of the team who gave us a full introduction and then escorted us to our pitch giving me the choice of 4 and another couple were joining us later in the day they were quite happy to reserve that pitch. We were then visited to tell us what beauty treatments were available over the weekend. Although we did not partake in the pizza or burger evenings the smell coming from the Bluebell Lodge was amazing, much so that we gave in on Sunday and had a damn good breakfast in the lodge. The toilets & showers were always clean and tidy and I found it outstanding that the toilets had premium quality toilet roll, life's little luxuries. Having a freezer outside the honesty shop was amazing especially with the temperatures we were experiencing. Now the honesty shop, launderette, and washing facilities, the honesty shop was fantastic, fully stocked and the honesty system was being adhered too even the young kids, lets hope their parents knew the amount of ice creams they put on their tabs lol. Ice cold drinks, Hot Coffees were all top quality and as for the bags of ice once again such a game changer. As soon as I find out my work rota I will be booking for later in the year. This sort of site is one you don't really want to shout about so you can keep it to yourself but the owners here have gone the extra mile to make your stay a terrific experience. There was a number of Europeans staying and they couldn't believe this site that had everything, we will be back.

Be prepared there isn’t a local pub or shop so stock up before you go.
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit but but fishing wasn’t good due to the stream that feeds the lake drying up, will definitely go again.

Disliked Nothing much

Local attractions

Bluebell Coppice Park is well placed within 1066 Country, a five-minute drive from Battle and 15 from Hastings. Bodiam Castle is 20 minutes from the site. The Brakes woodland is a top pick for walks and wildlife watching, and many more walks of varying lengths are in the site surrounds, including the RSPB reserve a few minutes’ stroll away. Zoos, gardens and vineyards are all close by too: ask on site for details. Events – many of them family friendly – run all year round in this part of East Sussex, such as festivals and gigs, farmers’ markets, craft fairs and watersports.
