What customers say
A peaceful, well-equipped site perfect for exploring. Kelly, the host, was praised for friendliness. Bell tents are clean and pretty, with superior tents offering excellent amenities. Communal fire pits, volleyball, and ping pong enhance the glamping fun. A nearby pub and beach are also a plus.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Perfect site for exploring Hastings.
Bell tent (plus)
Liked Very clean, close to Hastings Town and the beautiful Hastings Country Park. Small friendly site with enough space and facilities for all guests. Owner is very friendly and easy to contact. Enjoyed the badminton net and table tennis.
Disliked Lack of shade on the left hand of the campsite where our tent was made it hard to keep our tent and dogs cool.

Absolutely amazing experience
Bell tent (superior)
Liked The experience was absolutely wonderful.
The location itself is beautiful—lush, green, and peaceful, with plenty of trees and a serene atmosphere. We found the tents to be very comfortable, everything clean and clearly well-maintained.
We also appreciated the spotless bathrooms and the easy-to-use kitchen appliances—everything felt new and thoughtfully prepared. A special thanks to Kelly for her excellent customer care and for being so helpful throughout our stay.
Overall, my family and I had an amazing time and we will definitely be returning.
It was truly a lovely way to spend time in nature.

Bell tent (superior)
Liked Great little campsite basic & peaceful , perfect for an overnight stay to explore local towns nearby within a short distance. We stayed in the superior bell tent, Kelly was great communicating before our stay asking if there was anything we requested e.g coal / logs for the fire pit and during if we had any questions. The facilities were clean and equipped with a small cooking stove, plates , pots , pans , cups, cutlery , kettle , teabags, coffee, biscuits. We were impressed with the price and would definitely come back to stay.
