Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Very relaxed atmosphere, pitch where you want with loads of space. shop with firewood firepits, fridges to use and charging points. Toilet and showers very clean. Beautiful rolling landscape right next to ancient woodlands with walks. The local village has 2 pubs with gardens not far from the beach.very short drive to Hastings. Wished we could have had 2 weeks to take advantage of it all.

Disliked: Not a dislike really but it's a hilly area so be prepared to pitch on a slope.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely, calm meadow, with excellent facilities for campers. Great sanitary block and great facilities for washing up. Toaster and kettle available for use near Reception area. Fire pit and logs / kindling available on request. The owner was very accommodating and went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable … he provided lots of great advice on where to eat out and where to visit in the surrounding area. I will undoubtedly go back again in the not too distant future. What was not to like??

Disliked: Liked it all, but would be great to have a ping pong table in the barn!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: I appreciated the facilities available, I've had a comfortable stay.

Disliked: Too expensive for the facilities available. At least for a solo traveller, just to sleep and use the toilets i paid as if I was staying in a B&B.

Local attractions

Although it’s in a secluded spot, Oak Valley Camping is close to some of the best bits of Sussex including its coast and seaside towns. The medieval Cinque Port of Rye, with yachts at harbour, Castle Museum, nature reserves and Rye Harbour SSSI, is within a short drive. Also speed along to old Hastings, 15 minutes away, for its Old Town and fishing quarters, beach and arcades, Priory Meadow shopping centre, two cliff railways and the Hastings Fisherman's Museum at Rock-a-Nore. Just outside town, A Smugglers Adventure at St Clements Caves covers the smuggling history of this part of coast, as well as the caves’ setting as a hiding and refuge place throughout the ages and during World War II. There’ll likely be a festival around whichever time of the year you’ve visiting: a few options throughout the East Sussex year are the Hastings Wine and Seafood Festival, Rye Bay Scallop Week, Pirate Day, May Day and the Hastings Old Town Carnival Week along with loads of other smaller events. The Oak Valley team also recommends a wander around Winchelsea, the town with boat and jetski launch, ancient history and a small museum.
