Great site

Disliked None

Stunning views, but windy up there!
Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great views! Clean toilet blocks and the main lady was regularly available during the day for requests like extra fire wood or ordering some of their really tasty meats (recommended to do both in advance). Nice walk down to the local pub through the fields. The kids loved visiting the sheep in the field next door too.
Disliked Site was very exposed to the wind (which is what you'd expect at the top of a hill by the sea!) so recommend checking the weather forecast - not a criticism of the site at all, just something to plan for.

Great site for a short stay for those who fancy a walk/chilled night!
Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really simple to just turn up, find your pitch and get on with life!
One of the staff will be round to check you have what you need and know what you're doing!
Great views over peacehaven and beyond to the seven sisters east and the offshore wind farm to the west!
Facilities clean and sufficient.

A campsite that is tough to top.
Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked The downs. The hot showers. The basic but excellent facilities. The walk straight out the campsite down to the sea. The silence at night. Stud Farm is a stunner!
Disliked Ground a tad tough to camp on after a hot dry summer, but that couldn’t be helped.

From the manager: thank you for your feedback.
everyone loves the views of the Downs and the Sea from this site,
i like to think that people do come for the peace and quiet which i know many people appreciate, which is why there is a site rule that there is no music allowed after 9pm.
yes the ground is a bit tough in places, but if tent pegs are in the ground at 45 degrees which is usually 90 degrees to the guide rope/line then it is a lot easier to get your pegs in with good hold.
many thanks

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Amazing views, staff and facilities. The owner would often patrol and meet new comers and check in on campers to make sure everyone was happy. Large pitches and great value for money. Also very easy to find with great walking paths, shops and beaches close by

Would not stay due to owners hatred towards illegal immigrants
Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked The view was lovely
Nice quiet site
Facilities clean
Disliked Hearing the lady telling another camper that the illegal immigrants should be shot on the boats
Being told in advance there were no sheep in surrounding fields due to having 2 dogs with me, to arriving and finding sheep on 3 sides of the campsite (and 4th side on the other side of the road)

From the manager: We take the allegations you have made about our staff extremely seriously. All of our staff have attended equality and diversity training and this matter will be thoroughly investigated and any misconduct found will be addressed accordingly. We have never before had any sort of allegation like this made against any staff in our employment this year of any other year. As you can see from the feedback we get our customer service is very important to us and this is reflected in the comments made by our customers.
Regarding the matter of the sheep in the adjacent fields. We are a campsite based on a sheep farm and therefore there are always sheep in adjacent fields. All of our staff are completely aware of this. Our website also states we are based on a mixed farm with sheep and there are many pictures of sheep in and around the campsite. 80% of our customers bring dogs to our campsite and providing they are kept under control they are very welcome.
Overall a very pleasant stay
Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked The scenery is beautiful, the showers and toilets are clean
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: thank you for your feedback, it is valuable to us.
the scenery is great with the view of the Downs and the Sea from this site.
we have checked the doors and they do lock, if you try to open the door after locking then you would find that they don't open, sorry that the shower light didn't work for you.
we have also checked the light, it does work, the problem is that some people leave the light on after a shower and as they are solar powered they run down and don't recharge in darkness, however we will look into this and see if we can improve this, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Liked Staff very friendly, cared about the guests and cleanliness of the site. Breakfast food was excellent.
Disliked Large groups on some camping pitches
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: thank you for your feedback which is valuable to us.
we do what we can for our customers, we have actually sampled the products and they are excellent quality at competitive prices.
we actually don't accept large groups because we do value that our customers appreciate the peacefulness of the site.
unfortunately some large groups do book their pitches separately under different names as in normal small booking only to get together after they have arrived, which is not possible to control. however we do monitor the site to do security checks and make sure there is no music on after 9pm which is a site rule.
many thanks
