Are you an aficionado of walks and woodland? Rye not stay at East Sussex site Oak Valley Camping if so, as it’s surrounded by the woody stuff and has a heap of hiking trails through the woodland and at the nearby lakes. The Pett Level Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a short distance away. Oak Valley is a peaceful park welcoming families and kids, away from busy tourist hordes but easily accessible by car to Sussex and its surrounds. There’s loads of space here for small sorts (and big sorts) to run around, and a picnic area with tables and a barbecue for sizzling up lunch or dinner. Can’t be faffed? Two pubs serving food are close to the site. The site amenities block has clean toilets and free hot water for showers; a washing-up area is also available for guests’ use.

The tree was a great umbrella in the little bit of rain that we had.

Large site where yo choose your own pitch.

Perfect spot to see the children playing

Over priced for facilities on offer and what we experienced.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The offer of a dry space when we arrived utterly drenched from cycling there The warm showers and a kettle Responsive hosts to our request for a dry space The wised open spaces to pitch in

Disliked: The distance to the toilet block The lack of signage as to where reception was - we went into a private home thinking that was the way in The live rat running in the reception area The dirty bins (which smelt) and reception area

Susan A. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Such a lovely calm place. Showers and toilet block, washing up sinks, access to a fridge and freezers, and plugs for charging devices, so everything to make camping a bit easier, but still feel that you're at one with nature! Fire pit hire, and a portaloo at the furthest point of the fields. Nature reserve next door, and public footpath through fields of sheep. The level pitches are quite limited in number, so you get a real feeling of space around you. The hosts were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely return for some more peace and quiet.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike - idyllic

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A lovely quiet campsite with plenty of space. Lots of wildlife including bats and owls. It's worth knowing that the owners only take cash and there's very little mobile signal. Perfect for days out at Pett Level and Fairlight, as well as Hastings for wetter days.

Liked: The friendliness and laid back feel of the campsite. Beautiful views. The children enjoyed the play equipment and the “stage they found for shows!”

Disliked: It was a little tricky to find a level pitch.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: there was lots of space between pitches even on a bank holiday weekend in august. we could choose our own pitching spot. the facilities were clean with hot water and free showers. the site staff were helpful and considerate. the site was close to rye and Winchelsea. this was a quiet site at night, with lots of trees around the perimeter, i saw an owl.

Disliked: a large amount of the site was quite sloped.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Good site with all the amenities you need, toilets and showers were clean and plenty of space on the site. The owners were helpful and purposely don't overbook the site. Overall a nice relaxed site and we would stay again!

Disliked: Only negatives might be that the shop is a bit sparse but that wasn't an issue for us. The site is a bit hilly, but there's enough room to pitch up in a more level space.

Liked: We loved this campsite. Would definitely stay again! Shop is very basic but Tescos Aldi and Morrisons are all about a 15 min drive away. Owners are super friendly, the showers and toilets were cleaned regularly, phone charging available, drinking water dotted around the site. Can't fault this campsite at all!

Local attractions

Although it’s in a secluded spot, Oak Valley Camping is close to some of the best bits of Sussex including its coast and seaside towns. The medieval Cinque Port of Rye, with yachts at harbour, Castle Museum, nature reserves and Rye Harbour SSSI, is within a short drive. Also speed along to old Hastings, 15 minutes away, for its Old Town and fishing quarters, beach and arcades, Priory Meadow shopping centre, two cliff railways and the Hastings Fisherman's Museum at Rock-a-Nore. Just outside town, A Smugglers Adventure at St Clements Caves covers the smuggling history of this part of coast, as well as the caves’ setting as a hiding and refuge place throughout the ages and during World War II. There’ll likely be a festival around whichever time of the year you’ve visiting: a few options throughout the East Sussex year are the Hastings Wine and Seafood Festival, Rye Bay Scallop Week, Pirate Day, May Day and the Hastings Old Town Carnival Week along with loads of other smaller events. The Oak Valley team also recommends a wander around Winchelsea, the town with boat and jetski launch, ancient history and a small museum.
