  • 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.

What customers say

Stickers reckon the staff are ripper, pitches are spacious and flat, and pizza's a dead handy feed. Toilets and showers are mostly clean, but a bit basic. It's a cruisy spot for checking out the South Downs, though it can get a bit rowdy on busy weekends. Some punters reckon the showers could be hotter.

From the manager: We’re sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay, although we’re surprised by these comments. Our campsite covers approximately 13 acres and we don’t have fixed pitches, allowing guests to choose a suitable space for their setup. All guests are asked to check in at reception, where our team provides the relevant information, and we would have been happy to help had you felt uncomfortable with your chosen area.

Vehicles must be driven slowly, and we ask guests to keep nighttime vehicle movements to a minimum. Our food wagon offers breakfast and evening pizzas, but we don’t advertise a lunchtime food service. We’re sorry these concerns weren’t raised during your stay, as it would have given us an opportunity to assist.

Liked Was a lovely site, lovely food in the evenings and morning. Good price.

Disliked Some quite loud people one evening that ruined it abit for us, but that's not their fault. Toilets were quite messy due to the people that were being loud on site.

Liked You can use as much space as you like for your tent/car.

Disliked No email about bbq restrictions for this weekend, pizza van-1.5h waiting time, a few showers for big camping site!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

We did email guests about the temporary BBQ restrictions, and the information was also shared on our social media and displayed on our website at the time of booking. We’re sorry you must have missed these notices.

The pizza staff work incredibly hard and customers are advised at check-in to order early to avoid waiting times later on. The unusually long wait time was due to the increased demand for pizza because of the BBQ restrictions temporarily in place.

Liked A nice kept camp, great food van and very easy. Location is great for the beach too

Disliked Sadly the shower facilities weren't clean. There was rubbish all over the floor, a pack of sweets thrown all across the cubicle. It stunk of urine. Other than that, a great place

Liked I stayed during the school holidays and it wasn't too bad. Not overcrowded and minimal noise. I didn't stay for the weekend though as i would imagine it gets a bit rowdy.

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.
