  • Eco-conscious green field site in the South Downs National Park
  • Eastbourne 15 minutes’ drive; Pevensey 20 minutes; Brighton 45 minutes
  • Showers, toilets and food truck on site; pubs a short drive away
At the eastern edge of the South Downs National Park, with cracking views over its green vistas and just a 10-minute drive from the famed Seven Sisters walk, Bramley Park Camping is an East Sussex site in tune with its natural surroundings. The owners are seasoned campers, bringing back the best ideas from their travels to create a place where nature can be enjoyed with as little impact as possible. Along with a respect for nature comes an easy-going vibe and a warm welcome for all guests, including your four-legged family members. You can choose where to pitch and park your car alongside. Solar lights keep light pollution to a minimum, and guests are asked to keep noise low late at night – a bonus for others on site as well as the wildlife that’s made its home in the surrounding protected woodland. Every weekend (plus on weekdays during peak season only), the on-site food station serves fresh pizzas, breakfast and coffee. If you're still peckish, the on-site shop stocks camping essentials, drinks, ice creams and bags of ice. Within about 20 minutes’ drive there are enough great beaches to fill a whole holiday: Eastbourne and Bexhill have a traditional seaside resort feel, or you could go for a more out-of-the-way day out at Pevensey Bay, Birling Gap or Cuckmere Haven. The bright lights of Brighton are a 45-minute drive away. Other outdoor adventures await close by with the South Downs Way National Trail linking up with footpaths about two miles from the site. Five miles away, Friston Forest has a family-friendly cycle route and a more challenging trail for mountain bikers. Facilities on site include showers and toilets (including disabled facilities), a washing-up area and recycling. You can hire firepits and portable chargers and buy logs. There are cafés, takeaways, pubs and food shops within about 25 minutes’ walk or a few minutes’ drive.

Spacious site, friendly staff, clean facilities, great for South Downs/coast. Handy pizza van & brekkie rolls. Flat fields = pitch anywhere. Some road noise & shower upgrades suggested.

Glamping bell tent

Liked Lovely campsite! Lots of space and plenty of room between the glamping tents, which are perfectly equipped for a small group and at a fair price. Well looked after showers and toilets are cleaned daily. I’d 100% recommend especially for young children to explore and have some freedom. Access is easy and there are shops nearby if you are driving. There are also lots of hiking spots which we didn’t do this time due to the young children but would definitely make time for next time.

Disliked Not being able to make a fire or coal bbq but that wasn’t the fault of the campsite, just the extreme weather we’d had this summer and timing of our trip.

Liked Lovely big well kept site - free to pitch where you like. Despite being really busy it was really quiet with lots of lovely friendly fellow campers. Great pizzas on Thursday evening and very handy shop. Site staff really helpful and work really hard to keep things clean. Only negative is the shower and loo blocks - these desperately need upgrading BUT these are regularly cleaned and the staff do their absolute best with very old set up and units. Appreciate this is massive investment but they are needed.

Liked De place, and space, the enormous amount of ripe brambles ready for the picking, service at check-in and services provided (breakfast and dinner). There's even a miniscule shop for the true necessities.

Disliked Cleanliness was slightly below average. Espacially the toilets and showers.

Local attractions

If you’re walking along the South Downs Way, about three and a half miles from site look out for the Long Man of Wilmington, a 235ft-high figure etched on the side of the chalk hill. Head to Pevensey Castle and Pevensey Bay to see a very famous spot from British history. This beach is said to be where William the Conqueror came ashore in 1066 before the Battle of Hastings. The site of the battle itself is half an hour’s drive away from site, six miles outside Hastings and handily enough called Battle so you can’t miss it. If entertaining the kids is on the agenda, Knockhatch Adventure Park (15 minutes’ drive) and Drusillas Park (20 minutes) – both with rides, zoo and playgrounds – should be just the ticket.
