What customers say
Highly rated site! Praised for sparkling new, modern washrooms & friendly owner, Bear. Spacious, quiet with great views, smooth ground, and a prime spot for exploring or visiting Glyndebourne. Minor notes: uneven paths, temporary shower limits being fixed.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Easy to find, great location and great customer service. Called up to say I may be later than my estimated arrival time and no issues. Back to basics with a touch of luxury - shower and toilets were brand new.
Disliked Absolutely minimal thing - the field had some deep cracks - rolled my ankle a few times chasing the kids.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked This is a great campsite at a very fair price, the toilets and showers have just been built and are very clean they are definitely the best I have seen on any campsite I have stayed on, all the ground is flat so no sliding down to the end of your tent in the night and the owner bear is a very friendly chatty bloke who makes you feel very welcome, I am definitely gonna come and stay here again deserves all 10 stars
