Fox Wood is a scenic couples- and family-focused site at the bottom of a wooded valley within the South Downs National Park, in a 35-acre private woodland. Each of the pitches has its own firepit area for campfires with log seats. No cars are allowed within the woodland but wheeled trolleys are available from reception to help move your tents and bits to and from your pitch. Alternatively, ask a member of site staff to run your gear to your pitch for a small charge using our site vehicle. Being off grid, the toilets are composting and water is pumped from an underground well. The toilets are in a purpose-built modern block (five for women and three for men) where there are also two gas-powered showers (small charge applies). There are three pubs within walking distance serving food and all with gardens with play areas: the Fox (five minutes' walk along a lane), The World's End (15 minutes' walk along a footpath by a back road) and the Woodman's Arms (20 minutes' walk through fields).
