  • Spacious farm site on the Kent and East Sussex border
  • Half an hour’s drive from Camber Sands
  • Campfires, café-bar, pick-your-own pitches and adventure playground
Pitch up at Park Farm Caravan and Camping for pitchside campfires galore plus piles of spectacular wide open space around which to cycle, fly kites and let the kids (and dogs) run wild. Set on a farm in a peaceful rural spot on the border between Kent and East Sussex, this site is bordered by a little river and surrounded by miles upon miles of handsome countryside; for days out off site, the swell little seaside resort of Camber Sands is a handy half an hour’s drive away, and attractions like the Kent and Sussex Railway, Bodiam Castle and Bedgebury Pinetum are within a short drive too. Back at base, there’s heaps of stuff to keep guests of all ages amply amused all day long, like free fishing into the neighbouring river direct from the site. For kids there’s a partially fenced adventure playground with a trim trail, a play fort and a big slide for small folk to let off steam at. For rainy day, the open-sided barn is furnished with more fun-based bits, like a seesaw and other kit and games. When peckish or thirsty head over to the site's café and bar – The Camp Stove Kitchen – for delicious food and drinks (perhaps even a cheeky cocktail…). Otherwise, head to the neighbouring pub for a feed or an afternoon pint of guest ale. After a feed, it’s a splendid idea to have an amble around the farm to – the site owners actively maintain natural habitats to keep local wildlife happy, so while out and walking around one might well catch sight of some native critters too, from deer, barn owls and lots of other bird species to plenty of butterflies and insects.

What customers say

A grand, roomy site with ample pitches and a chill vibe. Praised for clean loos, sound staff, and a good bar/cafe. Families love the big playground. Great for rambles, near Bodiam Castle. WiFi's iffy, more loos in big fields would be grand. Well-run, with many a return visitor.

Jamie D.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Staff friendly

Disliked Not enough toilets and showers for the site ! Lots of tents in one field be prepared to walk quite away for the loos, field with well over 200 people in with just 2 toilets, no paper towels to dry your hands, dirty nappies left in the showers, rave music playing from the glamping field till 3 in the morning. Expected more from this site at the price point ! When we approached a member of staff about the toilets we was told not his problem and we should of arrived earlier for a spot nearer the loos we arrived on site 1530 on Friday!

Louise S.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We loved it here, so much so we are going again in 19 days time!

We stayed 5 days, such a popular campsite, loved the barn & bar & the karaoke plus watching the England final! Massive pitches, staff are lovely, kids safe to free roam. Super dog friendly too. Shower and toilet facilities cleaned so regularly too!

The slide into the river is brilliant!! And love how the ice cream van comes round and the log truck! 👌🏼

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely views of trees and hills. A very spacious campsite where you can find your own space to pitch and have your car next to the tent. The facilities were great and toilets clean.

Disliked A couple more toilet blocks in the main field could be helpful.

Janet T.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely staff. Lots of space. Great to have a bar and cafe on site. Clean facilities. Lots of local walking and great to be able to walk to Bodiam Castle/pub (c. 30mins walk). Camp fires galore. As a solo camper the price was excellent.
If you are a large group/family I think this site is brilliant.

Disliked The site is huge. I parked a way from the facilities to escape the noise. But it was a fair trek to the loos/water etc. Definitely need more water points around the large field. The large field was not level - so bring blocks. Noisy at times - screaming kids beyond 1045pm (when ear plugs went in). As a solo camper the site was not for me.

Local attractions

The plentiful paths that lie around the site also link up with other local footpaths, like the one that runs beside the river to Bodiam Castle, about 20 minutes’ amble away. At Bewl Water you can go sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and cycling, or you can head to the shingle stretches at Camber Sands for windsurfing and jetskiing at Cooden beach near Bexhill. If angling’s more your sort of water-based pursuit, fish free of charge for chub and roach from the site, or head to the nearby fish farm. For a spot of local history, visit National Trust properties like Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Smallhythe Place, Scotney Castle and Batemans; should you instead fancy being ferried around, get all aboard at Bodiam for the Kent and East Sussex Railway.
