Guyhurst unpowered grass tent site
Liked We loved how quiet the farm was, and Julian was very welcoming. My friend forgot his jumper and Julian was kind enough to lend him one. The field is fenced by a load of trees so there’s lots of different birds to listen to and spot.
The portaloo was kept clean and the limited facilities were clearly advertised.
From the manager: Thank you for your review Jen and glad you enjoyed your visit.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Guyhurst unpowered grass tent site
Liked We loved the location, the field is incredible and so are all the trees. The campsite is very peaceful. There is a yellow bus that can be hired which is so cute. It was easy to find and very very relaxing.
From the manager: Thank you for your review and glad you had a restful time.

Guyhurst unpowered grass tent site
Liked Large open space. Wild camping style. Friendly staff.
Disliked The grass was far too long and had many thistles so our child could not enjoy playing on the grass. A simple mow would have improved the whole experience.
Not the easiest place to access. Narrow, poorly maintained overgrown roads from the main road to the field with poor signage. If a car was coming the opposite way it would be impossible to pass and very difficult for either car to reverse back.
Campers were still able to pitch up after the 6pm curfew. This is not ideal with a young child as he was awoken by cars driving up very close to our tent between 9:30 - 10pm shining torches on our tent and circling for a pitch in their car. Staff do not have a means to stop this it seems.
Farmers plough / tractor in nearby fields for most of the evening was noisy.
No real views - basic farmers field
The setting - a beautiful field and surroundings. Very back to basics…
Guyhurst unpowered grass tent site
Liked The setting - a beautiful field and surroundings. Very back to basics camping, as described, which suited us fine for our short stay. Helpful campsite owner.
Disliked Could have done with much clearer directions for arrival and for finding the site, especially for walkers - the google link takes you to the wrong place, and the address listed also doesn't give you an accurate location.
The flush on the Portaloo wasn't working well when we stayed - an easy fix I imagine.
Open meadow, minimal camps allowed so big open space. Basic but lovely…
Guyhurst unpowered grass tent site
Liked Open meadow, minimal camps allowed so big open space. Basic but lovely to be able to let dogs off and roam, as well as site allowing campfires. Lovely owner who checked on us each day.
Great site, plenty of room

Liked Had a very relaxing time at this site. Host was great and very informative. There were good walks directly from the site and the pub was just a 20 minute walk away.

Unpowered grass trailer tent site
Liked So much space, clean and tidy. If you want to get back to basics it’s perfect. Water tap, and a porterloo. Take a touch, no lighting. Friendly land owner who is happy to chat.
Short drive to the festival of speed at Goodwood.
Long drive to field, ok for car or camper but not a caravan.
