What customers say
This spacious, peaceful campsite in the beautiful South Downs is praised for friendly hosts and a reservoir perfect for swimming/paddleboarding. Guests loved the wild camping vibe, fire pits, and nearby pub. Basic but clean facilities include bucket showers and portaloos. Minor mentions of shower head issues, bin access, and some noise.

Tennis Wells primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Friendly team on arrival. Lovely site for wild camping. The cold water bucket showers were very refreshing after a hot day in the sun. The portaloos were always kept clean and there’s an abundance of clean drinking water provided in bowers. Easy to locate the camp site, with additional emails from the owners. Lovely place to go with young family a dog. Stunning location in the South Downs, with lots to do nearby.

The Roughs primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Disliked Bucket showers! The site became quite busy and felt a bit too crowded.
