Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great setting with lovely sounds of birds, great trail available for a walk down the woods with sightings of deers, and the site has an amazing view of the stars. Josh, the host, is very hospitable and is very responsive to our queries. Portable toilet is well kept clean as well as the whole camping site.

A fantastic back-to-basics campsite with outstanding staff
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked - My friend and I came here for my birthday and we were lucky enough to have the whole field to ourselves. I honestly couldn't think of a better way to start my birthday!
- Remote location, back-to-basics in the best way. I love that they allow responsible campfires which adds to the camping experience. Beautiful sunsets over cornfields and plenty of wildlife including deer.
- Clean portaloos with fresh towel, new soap and even an air freshener!
- Plenty of fresh water provided daily for us, even when we consumed more than the average person due to the heat and cycling!
- Easy access to many cycle paths from the campsite itself with some stunning viewpoints and parts of the South Downs Way passing very close by.
- Josh, the campsite owner was really friendly and a genuinely great guy. Going above and beyond doesn't begin to cover his heroics of going through the bin to find some birthday money I had accidentally thrown away, and then keeping it safe for me to collect another day. Thanks Josh!
Disliked -There are no showers which is both a pro and con. Yes, you have to wash with baby wipes or go down to the sea for a wash and it's not ideal when it is a heatwave and you're cycling...BUT being a back-to-basics campsite is what keeps it from being overrun like many others and for me this is worth it as nature and remoteness is what I go camping for.
- Tufty grass field is quite bumpy but as long as you have a decent roll matt you will be fine (I didn't feel a thing!)

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The portaloo’s were extremely clean and stocked with toilet rolls, hand soap and even a hand towel (nice touch). The water was fresh and the owner was very accommodating and nice. It was a lovely quiet and secluded location where we weren’t hassled at all. We had a perfect time!! Would definitely come back again!

Friendly and potential
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked It is a beautifully situated, very potential place. When we were there we moved to another place. Our neighbors 20 meters away could be heard well into the night.
I can see this getting better!
Disliked Personally, I always don't like chemical toilets.
There was also no more water at one point and that's a shame!
I suspect that this will be better next year because there is room and, as I heard, the owner wants to improve a lot!
