What customers say
Lovely, calm spot in the South Downs. Hosts are class, reservoir's gas for swimming. Wild camping vibes, fire pits and a pub nearby. Facilities are simple, but grand. Minor bits like shower heads and bins could be better, and a bit of noise sometimes.

Tennis Wells non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly team on arrival. Lovely site for wild camping. The cold water bucket showers were very refreshing after a hot day in the sun. The portaloos were always kept clean and there’s an abundance of clean drinking water provided in bowers. Easy to locate the camp site, with additional emails from the owners. Lovely place to go with young family a dog. Stunning location in the South Downs, with lots to do nearby.

Tennis Wells non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Reservoir! Such fun, paddleboarding and sliding into the water and jumping off a paddleboard.
Beautiful surroundings, wide open fields and not at all crowded.
Well kept site, clean, toilets were refreshed regularly
Good position for nice walks and local pubs
Disliked Toilets were quite a long way from tents, a long walk in the middle of the night .
