Liked: Beautiful setting, spacious pitches, lovely views, very friendly owner, Rachel, came round to say hello and check if all OK, offered logs, firepit etc. Clean toilets (portaloos). Could bring your own firepit as long as its off the ground. Site was fully booked but did not seem crowded as there is a lovely area of long meadow grass in the centre of the field. Location ideal for South Downs, Goodwood, Halnaker and Boxgrove all within a short drive.
Disliked: Nothing really, although the field was slightly sloping so levelling blocks would be useful. Access is bumpy, but fine if you take it slow.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked: Area. Great views. Great location. Host Rachel was lovely and helpful. Came away feeling very relaxed. There are two toilet areas available which is great. There is minimal signal/4G which I liked as it gave me a better experience. Please be aware of the long dirt track you have to drive along to get to the field.
Disliked: Unfortunately, we stayed when there was a festival in the next field so was very loud until 11pm. Could also do with a shower block or two but it is wild camping.

Liked: It’s a wonderful site, with great views. I liked that you can have a fire pit and just relax in the peace and quiet, if you want there is a great pub in the village. Rachel the owner is brilliant, really helpful and friendly.
Disliked: Only slight negative is the track is a bit bumpy in places, but it is a farm track so I guess it isn’t going to be perfect.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked: Very nice secluded site off the main road. Lovely walks easily accessible from the site. The centre of the field had been left to meadow so there was lots of wildlife activity.
Disliked: The approach up the extremely bumpy chalk lane was as described so be aware. Although the toilets were kept very clean there was no hand washing facilities. There are rules in place about noise at night but no-one to enforce them so Saturday night was noisy.

Liked: Have been coming to New House Farm campsite for many years as offers a much 'wilder' camping experience than anywhere else in the region in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Management has recently changed, and Rachel, who runs the site now, was very welcoming and very helpful. It is still by far the cheapest site I know of in the South East. Highly recommended for those who want a natural camping experience (facilities are limited: there is water and toilets, and fire pits can be hired)

Liked: The field was beautiful, large, quiet and definitely off grid. The long track approach was fun to drive or walk down to the pub. The host, Rachel was among the kindest I have experienced, she sourced us gas canisters and provided wood for our fire pit.
Disliked: Nothing.
