Newhouse Farm Wild Camping

View prices & book Last booked 8 hours ago 9.7 213 reviews

Quiet West Sussex site near the village of East Dean
Goodwood Estate events 15 minutes’ drive; Chichester 25 minutes
In the South Downs National Park, with access to South Downs Way

Setting off for strolls in the South Downs National Park is splendidly easy from Newhouse Farm Wild Camping. This quiet and off-grid wild camping site is part of the Goodwood Estate, and it has footpaths running directly from the farm to the South Downs Way and other parts of the network of trails that run through this scenic part of the world. The farm makes a lovely place for a peaceful rural break in the West Sussex countryside, with pitches spread around the perimeter of a large field that’s got plenty of space in the middle for chilling out or playing games. There are gorgeous views of national park landscapes all around, and clusters of trees on site give a home to local wildlife. It’s a wild camping setup here, but you’ll have access to toilets (although please note no showers or hot water). Dogs and kids are welcome, and campfires and barbecues are permitted to help you cook and keep warm by night. And you may well need that warmth, as you’re likely to want to stay out as long as possible enjoying the starry displays in this International Dark Sky Reserve. The main Goodwood festival site is 15 minutes’ drive away, so this is a handy place to stay if you’re heading to an event there. Closer to home is the village of East Dean, just under two miles away, which has a good foodie pub.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Second time I've stayed here, didn't think it would be as good as when I stayed the first time but it was even better, if that's possible. Really relaxing, chilled and, as a female solo traveller, it feels really safe. Rachel is lovely and always on hand to help, if you need it. Can't wait to come back.

Disliked: Not possible

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Really lovely campsite. Very secluded, lovely welcome from the owner Rachel and the perfect escape for a night or 2.
The loos may be portaloos are the cleanest portaloos imaginable.

Disliked: Fresh water is a bit of a schlep so make sure you have enough before you pitch.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Quiet, clean campsite. Toilets were clean. Pitches were flat and woodland next door was lovely to look at

Disliked: There was some noise from the local airport, I think. Would recommend earplugs if you're a light sleeper but flights don't go late into the night, so unless you're sensitive or turning in before 11, you'll be fine

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for coming to stay with us and for your lovely review, it is very much appreciated.

I am so sorry for the disturbance you experienced. Our nearest airport is London Gatwick, which is over an hour away so I wonder if the noise you could hear was from the felling of trees in the surrounding forest that have ash dieback disease. I am not aware how long this project will take to complete but I do hope it wont stop you from coming to stay with us again.

Take care and best wishes,
Rachel

Great site with clean facilities, very welcoming. Great views.

Local attractions

A stay at Newhouse Farm puts you in pole position for the numerous festivals at Goodwood Estate, but the campsite is just as close to the fascinating Weald and Downland Living Museum (both 10 minutes’ drive), with its carefully restored historic farmhouses and half-timbered cottages. Chichester (25 minutes) is another cultural hotspot with a Gothic-era cathedral and events at the acclaimed Festival Theatre. Equally unmissable is the verdant West Dean Gardens (15 minutes), with its fabulous display of informal plantings, pretty waterside walks and Victorian glasshouses. There’s a stellar collection of Old Master paintings and ornate suites of rooms filled with priceless treasures at National Trust-owned Petworth House and Park, or you can step further back in time at Fishbourne Roman Palace (both 25 minutes) to see decorative mosaics in a life-size mock-up of an ancient Roman villa. If the kids want their day at the beach, choose between the sand-and-shingle expanse backed by cafés and amusement arcades at Bognor Regis or walk the dogs along the quiet sands at West Wittering (40 minutes).
