Liked: Beautifully maintained campsite with lovely views into a stud farm. Good facilities but limited. Perfect for us though. Nice wash up area with piping hot water. Friendly staff sending me to a hard standing instead of chancing the field in wet weather. Attractive fishing pond if you are that way inclined. Close to an old Byway for a very pretty walk. Crowborough and a pub just 1.5 miles away.

Liked: A really nice site. The majority of the pitches have an unobscured view across the fields with beautiful views. Incredibly clean toilets and showers. The portaloo style shower was very spacious and clean with plenty of hot water. We were only due to stay one night but liked it so much we stayed a second. We’ll be back.

Great base for exploring Sussex coast.
