Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The site was great for kids and their parents. Our children were able to have fun with the animals on their own whilst close to the camp. The facilities were clean. We were able to choose our own pitches and have car next to tent. Each pitch had its own bench and fire pit. The view was lovely too. Lovely, friendly owners who were great to chat with.

Disliked: The sign to the campsite wasn't very clear.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The campsite was a very relaxed space. A lot of trust in the campers, which was lovely. The animals on site were great, especially if you have young children. As the site is so small you can meet other campers if that is your thing. Owners were friendly and provided all that was asked for.

Disliked: Nothing, will definitely be coming back!

Liked: What a wonderful first camping trip as a family, and what a great site. Highly recommend, the location is great, the facilities on site are amazing, the kitchen is a bonus and of course the farm animals are a huge hit with children and adults alike. The hosts are wonderful and really helpful. We would definitely stay again!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The place was quite small which made it feel safe and secure. Very friendly atmosphere. Picnic tables and fire pits provided for each pitch. Very clear toilets and shower. Lovely owner who let my children spent most of the time with the animals and help to care for them. It was my first camping but it will definitely not be last.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The set up of the campsite was well thought out. It has everything you need and more. Showers and toilets were clean. The extra touches like the fire pits, picnic tables at each pitch were great. Our son really enjoyed visiting the farm area, meeting the kittens, pony and other animals. The owners were very approachable and accommodating. It’s a little hidden treasure! We will definitely be back.

Local attractions

A partially ruined Victorian mansion makes an atmospheric backdrop to the gardens at National Trust - Nymans (10 minutes’ drive). You can stroll along colourful borders filled with geraniums, sunflowers and dahlias, admire the hydrangeas on the main lawn or stroll through the shaded woods. Check out World War II aircraft at the Wings Aviation Museum (15 minutes), housed in a hangar-style structure. In addition to fighters and bombers, there are displays illustrating the Battle of Britain, The Blitz (including a real shelter) and D-Day. You can book private experiences with raptors at Huxley’s Birds of Prey Centre and Gardens (20 minutes), from to a day (or half-day) learning about and flying a range of birds, including owls and falcons, to a walk with a hawk. After that excitement, you can relax by the pond in the vibrant gardens and check out the tropical plant collection.
