  • Peaceful camping field on a farm 10 minutes’ drive from Hastings
  • Battle Abbey 15 minutes’ drive and Bodiam Castle 25 minutes
  • Shop and pub 15 minutes’ walk; Hastings bus stop at the site entrance
A peaceful rural retreat 10 minutes’ drive from seaside Hastings in Kent, Beaulieu Farm Campsite sits on an arable farm that has been family-run for four generations; most of the fields are now used for making hay, which is sold in the animal feed shop five minutes’ walk away. As this is a working farm, there is no access to any fields other than the slightly undulating, well-mown camping meadow, where spacious pitches are sheltered by hedges and mature trees. The site entrance is controlled by electric gates, which operate via number-plate recognition and work around the clock for your maximum security. Amenities include washing-up sinks and separate facilities for men and women with loos and, for a small fee per every five minutes, showers. Barbecues are allowed on site (you’ll need to bring your own equipment), and you can pick up bits and bobs to grill at the local convenience store (15 minutes’ walk). If you’re not a fan of alfresco cooking, there’s a pub serving good food about the same distance away. For bigger shopping needs or a variety of bars and restaurants, you can catch a bus into Hastings right outside the site entrance, with the journey taking 10 minutes.

What customers say

A tidy, well-kept site with good pitches and staff. Facilities are modern, accessible, and secure. Handy for Hastings transport, pubs nearby. Showers cost extra; pitches can be sloped, bring levellers. Worth knowing about shower fees.

Electric grass pitch (medium)

Liked Situated close to Hastings with bus stop outside the site. Takes around 10 mins into town. There's a small woodland walk a few mins away where we saw Deer 🥰. Parks are further...we walked to Alexander Park in about 50 mins. That has lakes & a lovely cafe. Owners were super helpful & went above & beyond which was refreshing & much appreciated. We stayed on a medium pitch with EHU. Small shop on site, washing up area plus showers/loos.

Disliked Not a criticism just helpful advice as we've stayed at alot of sites through the UK & Europe. Maybe try & incorporate a couple more showers each as when the site is full 2 showers (for men & women) isn't enough. More hooks & shelving in the facilities is always welcome to 😊.
You pay £1 for 5mins in shower but once water comes on 40 seconds are wasted waiting for water to get hot plus the water pressure goes down alot when anyone else is using the other shower or taps...maybe turn the pressure up slightly if this is possible & look at changing it to 6 mins?
Most pitches are sloping so remember your chocks 😬

Liked Staff were really welcoming and helpful. Facilities were clean and well serviced. Campsite was also well kept. Great price.

Disliked Traffic could be heard, but appreciate there’s little they can do about that.

Local attractions

Beaulieu Farm Campsite makes a great base for family day trips: the beach, pier and fish and chip shops of Hastings are 10 minutes’ drive/bus journey away. If the weather’s not playing ball, you can head down to Hastings Aquarium (15 minutes’ drive) and watch majestic sharks glide about their tanks, or dive deep underground to follow old pirates’ tunnels at the Smugglers Adventure (also 15 minutes). If your interests veer more towards the cultural, Hastings Castle (15 minutes) has dungeons and a medieval chapel to nose around, or you might get the kids to fall in love with history on a dragon hunt at moated Bodium Castle (25 minutes). The imposing remains of Battle Abbey (15 minutes) houses interactive displays on the Battle of Hastings in 1066. When fresh air is on the agenda, head for the High Weald National Landscape (10 minutes), where you can stroll up to Harold’s Henge, a sculpture along the 1066 Country Walk (10 minutes’ drive to the car park). Alternatively, hike sections of the Saxon Shore Way as it passes through Hastings Country Park (15 minutes).
