What customers say

This eco-friendly site gets the thumbs up for its peaceful woodland setting, great views and starry nights. Friendly hosts and a relaxed atmosphere are a big hit, as are the clean showers and compost loos. Pizza, coffee, yoga and massage are popular add-ons. Just a heads-up: compost toilets can have a whiff in hot weather, and some pitches are a bit sloped.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked I needed somewhere to stay dry late in the day (10 pm) and Earth Camp responded, and late arrival was no problem .
Very nice, quiet camp with clean rustic loos and bathrooms. Fire pits a nice addition

Disliked Some low distant traffic noise early morning . Most wouldn't care but I notice any road noise !

I look forward to coming back and trying the sauna

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This was a very peaceful campsite and family friendly. I liked the sound of the drumming on the Saturday morning and the Gong Bath experience I booked was very relaxing.

Disliked The composting toilets were not a favourite aspect for my 8 year-old child.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely chilled campsite in the countryside with yoga and therapies.

Bell tent

Liked Laid back vibe at the campsite. Opportunity to do things like yoga and have a massage. Spacious bell tents. The location. The showers and the eco friendly show gels/shampoo. The pizza van - delicious pizzas.

Disliked Whilst I understand the need for compost toilets on a campsite, they did get a bit smelly on a hot weekend. I think an additional hand washing/tooth brushing area near the entrance toilets would have been good. Shame the food van wasn't there on our visit.

Lovely peaceful site surrounded by nature.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked There's lot to like about Earth Camp, we had beautiful weather & enjoyed a clear star filled sky, the fire pits were there to use the logs & kindling were reasonably priced, the Host was friendly, other campers seemed to be relaxed so no problems whatsoever. The place has a nice peacful vibe. The site itsef is pretty hilly as you would expect on the South Downs, there are some flat pitches to be found, the toilets & showers are great. theres bark chipping on the ground to avoid it geting muddy & although quiet there's a festival feel to the site with nice touches here & there, the location from where i am in SW London is ideal for an overnight getaway.

Disliked having to get up 3 times in three night to pee but thats nobodies fault but my own..

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent site - would thorughly recommend.

Local attractions

Looking for a spot to get up to some kayaking or wild swimming? Park up at Barcombe Mills (10 minutes' drive) to explore the river Ouse and reservoir. Perhaps you'll find yourself paddling upriver in the direction of a waterside pub like The Anchor Inn (10 minutes), where you can also hire a boat if you haven't brought your own. If sticking to dry land is preferable to messing around in boats, check out the mid-century steam trains that serve the four stations on the Bluebell Railway (10 minutes). Alternatively, head into Brighton (30 minutes) and sail down the esplanade on Volk’s Electric Railway. Lewes (15 minutes) should also make your to-do list: its 11th-century Norman Castle, priory ruins and connections to Anne of Cleves should sort the historical component of your visit, while catching a show at Glyndebourne Opera (10 minutes outside of town or 20 minutes from base) should please to those curious about culture. And the kids? They'll be sorted at Drusillas Park (30 minutes).
