What customers say
Spacious, peaceful campsite in the beautiful South Downs. Praised for friendly hosts & reservoir for swimming/paddleboarding. Loved the wild camping feel, fire pits & nearby pub. Basic but clean facilities (bucket showers, portaloos). Minor issues: shower heads, bins, occasional noise.

Tennis Wells unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Friendly team on arrival. Lovely site for wild camping. The cold water bucket showers were very refreshing after a hot day in the sun. The portaloos were always kept clean and there’s an abundance of clean drinking water provided in bowers. Easy to locate the camp site, with additional emails from the owners. Lovely place to go with young family a dog. Stunning location in the South Downs, with lots to do nearby.
