Peaceful Sussex site in the grounds of an 80-acre equestrian centre
In High Weald, 15 minutes' drive from Crowborough and 30 from Lewes
Firepits for hire; popular pub half a mile away

Those seeking peace, horses and a welcoming place for their canine pals are set to have a grand time of it at Hurstwood Farm, a calm farm spot at the southern end of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that’s set half a mile back from the nearest road. The site is also home to a popular riding centre and is within easy reach of a network of car-free trails and bridleways where you can roam on foot or in the saddle (riding must be booked in advance and is not suitable for beginners). It's also a lovingly-managed wildlife haven – the perimeter of each field here has a wild strip that's been totally left to nature, while the hedges are cut only every three to four years to enable birds to settle down and raise their young. Deer can frequently be seen prancing through Hurstwood Farm's 20 acres of wild woodland, so keep your eyes peeled for roe, fallow and muntjac species. Facilities here include toilets, hot showers and a washing-up corner. Seasonal local produce is sold, as is wood for the firepits that can be hired on site (please don't bring your own firepit). It's half a mile from here to the nearest pub, a popular joint that the site owners heartily recommend. Provisions for self-catered meals can be picked up at one of the supermarkets in Crowborough (15 minutes' drive), where there's also a leisure centre.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Really lovely campsite surrounded by nature, pretty woods and nice walks. Very friendly staff. You have to park a 5 min walk away but they dropped us off with all our stuff in a buggy and picked us up. We underestimated the cold and left a night early and the staff we spoke to were really nice and even offered us a duvet.

Liked: Location, quiet, small area, perfect for our travelling. Fire pit.

Disliked: No hot water when we returned from a very wet all day trail run. Or the following day to wash up.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A really beautiful, rural campsite. Clean & simple facilities - was exactly what we were after. Amy was great & gave us a lift in the buggy to our pitch so we didn't have to carry our stuff. Was a 5 minute walk through beautiful woodland back to our car. We will definitely come & stay again!

Camping pod

Liked: We loved our weekend at Hurstwood in a pod. Comfy bed with warm duvet, and a very friendly welcome. Walking through the woods and seeing local deer was a real highlight. We would definitely like to visit again.

Local attractions

Country capers of all descriptions can be had around here, from golf at Crowborough Beacon Golf Club (10 minutes' drive) to fishing and cycling at Bewl Water (40 minutes). Those of you handy with a rod and reel can also try out night fishing in nearby Scaland Wood (10 minutes) – there's much to be said for returning to stroll through the forest when you've got the light to appreciate it, too. Craving something more urban and bohemian? Stop in Brighton (45 minutes) for window-shopping, veggie food and artsy stalls in North Laine or just some beachfront promenading. Though overshadowed by its bigger cousin on the coast, Lewes (30 minutes) also has a lot going for it: Sussex's county town has a splendid Norman castle, views over surrounding chalk cliffs and brims with ace independent shops. Tiddlers in your travel tribe, meanwhile, can kid around at Phileas Fogg's World of Adventures (40 minutes), swing through the trees at Branching Out Adventures (20 minutes) or be taken for smoky steam-powered rides on the Bluebell Railway (20 minutes).
