  • Working farm site in a valley on the South Downs Way
  • In the South Downs National Park, a 20-minute drive from Chichester
  • Café at the entrance to the farm; campfires allowed on site
Soak up the valley views and get in some real quality time at Littleton Farm Campsite, a rural working farm site in the South Downs National Park. Based in a spacious valley that's home to fallow deer, roe deer and hares, this wildlife haven is 100 metres from the South Downs Way cycle path, making it a well-placed base for discovering the chalk downlands and sloping valleys around the national park. Treat your tummy to some TLC at the on-site café at the farm’s entrance – it serves up barista coffee and a nice selection of cakes and pastries for a tasty breakfast or to top up your energy reserves throughout the day. And if you want to fill your pockets with snacks to eat throughout the day, there's a village shop 10 minutes’ drive away. Building up an appetite for all this should be straightforward, as you can head out for hikes and mountain bike rides straight from the site. Plus, the site is family-friendly so the kids can tag along on the nearby countryside trails too. Facilities back at base include portable toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area.You may want to end the day with a campfire and stargazing on the site (which is located in a designated dark skies reserve), or you may want to head out instead to a local pub for a chilled drink. For the former, you can buy logs, kindling and firelighters on site; for the latter there’s a 16th-century pub-restaurant five minutes’ drive away – another place to relax and tattle about the day’s tales.

This quiet, roomy campsite boasts cracking rural views and a back-to-basics feel, perfect for nature buffs and walkers with direct South Downs Way access. Campfires welcome, plus an on-site cafe.

Liked Great location, beautiful scenery, freedom to choose own pitch, lots of space for children (and adults) to play, portaloos and water stations conveniently placed around the field, campfires allowed. South Downs Way comes past the site giving easy access to walks. Clear info from site owner.

Unpowered grass tent site (backpacker, no cars)

Liked View

Disliked Think its well over price You have to walk along way to your car as can't park near your pitch have to take all your rubbish home with you don't provide bins also shower Facilities are not very nice. Don't even have curtains up at the windows. Lock on door is not Secure And the shower curtains that are put into cubicles, are see through you can see the outline of your body. You get men showering and changing with the door unlocked It's not really a lock on the door it's a hatch on the inside food at the food van is overprice would not go back or Recommend.

Martin L.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Really nice and quiet campsite. In ground fires are allowed, and there is lots of wood to forage in the surrounding hills. Toilets are basic portaloos, but are cleaned regularly. It is close enough to West Wittering, Chichester, and other attractions, we enjoyed our river boating trip.

Disliked Cars must be parked off site and are only allowed on the main field for loading and unloading. We did get away with this because we had several blue badges (disabled) in our group, so we got to plug in power for our kitchen.
They need to improve the showers, it feels like a work in progress. There are 2 showers in a single large room. It seems that this could easily be 4 showers if proper partitions were put in place.

Unpowered grass tent site (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Beautiful, rustic location. I used it as the starting point for a walk across the South Downs Trail which is immediately adjacent. Has a nice little breakfast and afternoon 'feeding station'. Very peaceful and apparently you can see the sea from the top olf hill. I will definitely be going back soon. Wish I was there this week. Owners were lovely and very helpful and stayed long enough to give you a lot of helpful advice.
If your around this area I would recommend you have at least one evening meal at The CRICKETERS PUB at Duncton. The garden is just delightful.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The freedom to pitch anywhere, the stunning views, the wildlife around us and it felt very relaxed. Great to be able to buy logs. We didn’t visit the cafe but can see it would be a good addition. Maybe next time! Good phone signal too!

Disliked Shower block is very basic, more handwashing stations would be good as the toilets are very spaced out. Nothing major though!

Local attractions

Before you get to the active stuff, perhaps a drink? Tinwood Estate (10 minutes' drive) runs vineyard tours for those of you who want to tell apart your rosé from your red. It’s not hard to track down a cutesy coffee spot in Chichester (20 minutes) – after you’ve visited the cathedral and shops, of course. Now that you’re properly fed and fuelled, you might want to practise your putting skills on the golf course at Cowdray House (20 minutes). It’s a fabulous setting for polo too, based on a country estate with heritage ruins. Where else is historic around here? Petworth (10 minutes), a market town with antique shops, hits the mark. The Goodwood Estate (15 minutes), too – this estate hosts horseracing events, golf and a flying school. Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is another great spot – from here, boat trips depart to search for seals. Rather explore realistic buildings from between 950AD and the 19th century? Head to the Weald & Downland Living Museum (10 minutes' drive). West Dean Gardens (15 minutes) also has an Edwardian pergola, walks and garden courses.
