Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Small quiet campsite. Lady on arrival helpful and polite.
Disliked Dated and not very clean toilet area and facilities.
We were pitch 4. Electric hook up one side that we thought was ours not working, too late and dark to report/sort - in the morning realised that pitch 2&3 were using electric hook up 3&4 but this was really far from pitch 4, as positioned inbetween pitch 2&3. Reported by phone in the morning as no-one around but no reply. So paid for electric but didn’t have access to it.
Not value for money, wouldn’t return.

Top class site all round
Powered grass and earth campsite

Disliked Nothing

Definitely recommend this site for a short break.
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked The quietness of the site. The owners were lovely and always checking the site. Helpful when we arrived and gave an extension lead for the electricity so our lead could connect. Lovely clean facilities and great accessibility to local area.

Great location easy by public transport
Primitive grass and earth campsite
Liked Great location for coming by public transport/bike as located by a walking route to either Polgate or Hailsham. Lovely view of the South Downs and nice flat pitches. Warm welcome, and good washing up facilities

Sadly we won't be returning.
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Friendly enough couple running the site, plenty of space and pretty quiet area which was nice. Pitch was ok and reasonably flat
Disliked Facilities were very basic and really in need of renovation. Wash room roof was leaking in the rain. Generally facilities were very old and tired.
Showers only ran for a few seconds before needing to be started again.
Electric hook up was an extension lead - it did work, but one of the pitches we had did not require hook up. When I emailed for a refund on this my email was ignored - which was a shame.

From the manager: Firstly, we'd like to thank you for your constructive feedback.
You are right the roof on the men's toilet block is under repair and has a temporary fix.
The facilities are regularly checked and cleaned, with what we feel are great walk in shower cubicles, unlimited free hot water and water saving eco push taps. The taps were a compromise on making additional charges for hot water, like some other sites.
You booked, paid and reserved 2 grass electric touring pitches and that's what we provided, along with adjacent pitches as requested (not guaranteed).
We are sorry you did not enjoy your weekend as a result of our facilities that obviously did not meet your expectations!
We had a lovely two-night stay with our camper at this camp site
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked We stayed at this campsite for two nights with our camper, and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful – the perfect place to relax and unwind. Everything is sclean and well maintained, from the pitches to the facilities.
The owners are truly wonderful – warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The owner also has a great sense of humor and was always up for a friendly chat or a laugh, which added a lovely personal touch to our stay.
Honestly, there’s nothing negative I can say. This is one of those rare places where everything just feels right. We would definitely come back!
Disliked The sanitary facilities are clean and tidy, though they could benefit from some modern updates. That said, everything worked well and was kept in good condition.

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Schöner Campingplatz für Wanderer oder Radfahrer. Es gibt eine kurze Verbindung zu einem Weg der von Hailsham nach Polegate führt. In beiden Städten kann man gut essen und trinken oder von Polegate mit dem Zug weiter… Auf dem Platz ist es sauber und alle waren stets freundlich und hilfsbereit
