Mitzi H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: This is a basic campsite but we knew that and weren’t expecting any more. The views are fantastic - you can see down to the sea, apparently it’s walkable although we didn’t try, there’s a map in the toilets. There were some lovely sheep in the field next to us and plenty of space for the kids to run about without disturbing anyone else (I hope anyway!) we only stayed one night but it was easy and peaceful.

Disliked: It’s not all that flat, but it wasn’t too busy (on the last weekend of summer holidays, so probably doesn’t get all that much busier) so we were able to find a flat area to pitch up without much trouble.

Liked: Great location, good value. There was plenty of space at the site and it was easy to find

Disliked: Only one toilet for the whole campsite and no washing up facilities. Fine for one night but but would have been tricky for a longer stay

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Nice views, great option for basic old fashioned camping if you’re on a budget and can do without showers for a couple of nights. Caroline was so responsive and lent use games when we hadn’t brought any. Nice compost toilet.

Disliked: If there are few people you can easily find a flat spot away from the road, but would be harder if it was fuller.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We feel like we’ve been spoiled with such a great time at Pett Camping. We’ve just returned from 4 days at the site. Caroline offered us a pitch in the shade on one of the hottest days of the year which was very welcome as we have young children. SUCH a peaceful site. We’ve seen bats, shooting stars, and very happy children. Thank you. We will be returning.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Amazing location - the site itself has great views and feels really rural, nice pub a very short walk up the road, plus the beach is either a short walk along the road or a slightly longer, very scenic route across country. Site didn’t feel overbooked, lots of space. The site is very basic but that’s clear before booking and wasn’t an issue for me. I’ve only given 3 stars for this but only in being honest regarding what’s available. Caroline is lovely - very welcoming and helpful. Really enjoyed my stay here.

Matthew H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved the views and a great location close to Hastings. The sky's very dark at night here so was great for star gazing. Peaceful and quiet. Met the owner of the site, very nice Lady.

Disliked: Entrance to the site is a farm gate it's quite narrow and I struggled a bit to get my wide car through but managed. There's only 1 toilet on site and it's a composting toilet (sawdust on top) didn't bother us. There no showers or other facilities apart from a fresh water tap. Didn't dis-like any of this as we knew before we booked.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting. Very peaceful and close to a lovely beach, a couple of nice pubs and some excellent hiking trails.

Disliked: Not a dislike but a suggestion. A second compost toilet wouldn't go amiss. It's a long old trek if you're asked to camp in the 'other' field and then have to wait for ages.

Local attractions

It’s not a well-known tourist attraction, but the village of Pett has much to offer for visitors – it’s the kind of place where you can still watch cricket on summer weekend afternoons, stop by at the pub for a pint of local ale and/or join in with various activities in the village hall (a yoga class, perhaps, or something for the kids). Once you’ve spent some time at Pett Level beach (10 minutes’ walk), perhaps you’d like to get a little further along the coastline to the fossil hunting hotspot Fairlight Cove (20 minutes’ drive) or the stunning sand dunes of Camber Sands (25 minutes). Hastings (15 minutes) is another good option, with a historic tinge, and Rye (15 minutes) has a whole lot of antique shops as well as a harbourside nature reserve with bike hire available. If the kids demand a bit more action, try Knockhatch Adventure Park (45 minutes) – or take them to see the cute animals at the South of England Rare Breeds Centre (half an hour). Port Lympne Safari Park (45 minutes) is the place if they’re after bigger beast spottings.
