What customers say

This tranquil, roomy site offers real wild camping amidst lovely countryside with amazing views. Pitches are well-spaced for privacy, each with a fire pit. Facilities are simple but mostly clean, with an outdoor shower. Toilets could be better, say some, but the peace, nature, and walks are praised. Perfect for a simple nature escape.

Emily J.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked A beautiful quiet place. We went when it was pretty quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The fire pits are a perfect addition and the shower is just so cool! Really lovely place. We will be booking again. The chap that greeted us was really approachable and chatty. Really lovely feel about the place. My dog was safe to mooch around and enjoy too.

Hope R.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked It is perfect for a getaway! The area is lovely and quiet and big enough that you don’t really have to deal with other people. It’s also great for reactive dogs. Highly recommend. The owner was very friendly too.

Andrew E.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Stunning location, is very wild camping

Disliked I wasn’t sure where to pitch up could go anywhere, I later realised there were lots of areas with short grass and fire pits I could have used! My bad research though.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked The peace and quiet and relaxing vibe. The dark skies and the fire pits with dry wood packs to buy. Plenty of space without being near anyone else, proper back to basics.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked To much noise from other campers. It was absolutely not clear how to get at the camping spot by car. If you do not have Internet then you really do not know we’re the pub is for example.

Local attractions

Folk who’ve invested in a National Trust membership can surely get their money’s worth out of this area: aim for 18th-century Uppark House (10 minutes’ drive), wander around Woolbeding Gardens (10 minutes) and admire the art collection at Petworth House (half an hour) – tipped to be one of the finest in the NT’s possession. (Or try Hinton Ampner, Slindon Estate, Winkworth Arboretum…) There’s a whole load more history to see down by the coast, too. If it’s maritime times gone by that interest you, head to Portsmouth to potter around the historic dockyard and mosey around the Mary Rose Museum (or, for something more modern, sail up the Emirates Spinnaker Tower to see the sea from 170 metres up). Weald & Downland Living Museum (20 minutes) is a fab place for a glimpse into real life from days of yore. If you’re simply planning to fill your break with lots of rural rambles, perhaps it’s a wise idea to lay in supplies for a restorative drink upon your return? Langham Brewery (20 minutes) is worth a visit for a tour of the steam-powered brewery, and there are local vinos to pick up at Trotton Estate (10 minutes) and Upperton Vineyards (20 minutes).
