  • Peaceful, well-maintained site in West Sussex countryside near Horsham
  • A 10-minute drive to golf and fishing; 40 minutes to the beach
  • Pub and shop within walking distance; close to hikes on the Downs Link
Want to be in peaceful countryside yet also in pole position for access to town facilities, family days out and the south coast? Set your sights on Sussex Topiary Campsite, a quiet site located in the village of Rudgwick, near Horsham in West Sussex. Swings and slides will keep the kids occupied at this family-friendly site, and there are plenty of walks around the grounds – great for doggos – as well as cute little seating areas with pond or woodland views. You can barbecue at your pitch (but please keep campfires off the ground), or head for the local pub (20 minutes’ walk) for good pub grub in a beamed dining room; there’s also a local shop where you can stock up on essentials. You can keep your food fresh in the communal fridges back at base; other facilities include a modern, spotless shower and loo block with a washing-up area. Also, every Friday from 4pm, the site plays host to a pizza van. Looking further afield, bigger shops are in Cranleigh (15 minutes’ drive) or Horsham (20 minutes), and both towns have a vast choice of pubs, restaurants and takeaways – there’s also a cinema in Horsham for the odd rainy day. If the weather's looking more pleasant, take hikes on the nearby Downs Link or set off for south coast beaches like Worthing or Shoreham for days of playing about on the sand.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: The campsite was clean, owners friendly, sheltered by trees, plenty space for kids, quiet- no motorway or road around, showers clean with warm water. We had a great time.

Disliked: Campsite has been opened for 4 years only, the owners are awaiting a permition to build more showers and toilets. A little shop with essentials would be good. Tents were very close to each other. Children's area is a but small.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Quiet small campsite. 2 showers & 2 toilets for each sex- cleaned regularly. Pizza van there when we arrived on Friday for pitch up which was handy to save us cooking the first night. Friendly host. Good sized pitches.

Disliked: You do hear planes overhead throughout the night/early morning but I only noticed as I was up with a newborn- my husband and son snored through them.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: The site was clean and well kept. The lady that met us when we arrived was lovely and friendly. Plenty of space to play games. Everyone respected quiet down time. The showers/ toilets were cleaned multiple times during the day and were always clean and tidy. The surrounding area was lovely, with plenty of nature walks to be had. The pizza van had unfortunately broken down so couldn’t make it on the Friday but an ice cream van arrived on Saturday. We even got to see the shooting stars as little/ no light pollution.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Place outside of traffic and stress. Big area so place the tent and stuff. People very friendly and helpfull. You can walk through the area around the place. Nice to hear the birds in the morning.

Disliked: The place is in the area of the Gatwick airport - it is nothing for people if they want a quiet time because of the planes.

Maxine G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Great amount of space for the children to run about. We choose to pitch in the bottom field which was alot quieter. The little fire pit in the woods was cute.

Disliked: Showers had draining issues. Everytime someone had a shower the whole block would flood including into the toilet cubicles. Made getting dry hard. The Cockerell woke us around 4.30am every morning- albeit it did stop after a while.

Local attractions

If you’re holidaying with the kids, treat them to animal encounters and pony rides at Fishers Farm Park (15 minutes’ drive) or head for the coast at Worthing or Shoreham (both 40 minutes) for bucket-and-spade-type fun on the beach. You can also chuff-chuff through scenic Sussex countryside on board the Bluebell Railway steam train (50 minutes). If you want to get active, it’s a short hop from the site to cycle rides and walks – the Downs Link (10 minutes) follows disused railway lines across the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and you’ll also get amazing views from Leith Hill Tower observation tower (25 minutes). Angling, horse riding and golf are on hand too – all within a 10-minute drive from your base camp. This area of Sussex is awash with sprawling stately estates, so you might like to tick off the Victorian rock garden and wallaby colony at Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens, check out the art collections and majestic architecture at 17th-century Petworth House and Park (both half an hour), or stroll the lakeside paths at the National Trust-owned Winkworth Arboretum (20 minutes).
