Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Loved camping in a meadow with a designated pitch. A simple campsite with no airs or graces and will definitely be back.

Disliked: Apart from some school boy racers on the main A road it was peaceful

Peaceful site with loads of space and beautiful views.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Everything. The most beautiful place. Each pitch is a huge circle carved out of long grasses so you feel completely secluded. Toilets and water easy access and very clean. Loads of wood in supply and fire pits for hire - both extremely reasonable cost. Lots of fantastic places to visit locally - and further afield by car. The owners leave you in peace. Utterly tranquil stay watching the seagulls and buzzards soaring on the thermals above.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: PItches sizes and space apart was good, made for a peaceful experience. Toilet block and washing up sink where clean and tidy. A supply of fire wood was on site with a honesty box for payment and a firepit left on the site for use. There where sign posts on site directing to trails for the local pub and other walks.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Well signposted, well laid out. Clean facilities, ample of space. Would be fantastic in great weather shame we picked a summer weekend raining and mad winds!

Disliked: Understandable but farm pickers out early and quite noisy i.e 5.30-6am wake up.

Elizabeth F. May 2023

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful, flat meadow, private pitches, small site

Disliked: Toilets could have been cleaner - very smelly by the end of every day. Noise from the main roads nearby was very loud, but we were unfortunate with the wind direction I think.

Liked: Nice little field with decent pitch spacing and facilities and nearby nice walks

Disliked: Surrounded by working fields spraying what might have been pesticides. I think if I lived closer I'd consider going again.

Richard B. May 2023

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I loved it! The simplicity yet attention to detail was very impressive. The portaloos were very clean, handwash, loo rolls, wipes etc all in plentiful supply. I particularly liked that the pitches were large and far enough away from each other to have privacy and peace. Lovely to have an 'honesty' box for payment for the wood, It's great campsite owners treat their customers like honest adults. I will be returning for sure. Thank you.

Local attractions

This is a site for getting out on your bike or your own two feet, with miles' worth of paths and trails within easy reach, West Sussex beaches within a few miles, and the South Downs a short drive away. Walk along the Chichester Canal, a minute or two's walk from Donnington Wild Camping, for the few miles to Chichester to see the city's famed cathedral and acclaimed Pallant House Gallery, or wander/pedal in the other direction to get to the marina for access to the Salterns Way, the 18-kilometre route from the centre of Chichester along rural roads and countryside paths to the sand dunes of East Head. The award-winning beach of West Wittering is within about four miles and is known for its wildlife and birds as much as for its spectacular scenery and its views towards Chichester Harbour and the South Downs. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are both popular pastimes in the waters here too.
