What customers say
Peaceful spot with epic 360 views of Downs and sea. Campers rave about spacious sites, super-clean facilities, and friendly staff. Loads of walks from the site, plus it’s close to attractions. Basic facilities and wind noted by a few, but the amazing scenery and value win out.

Overall a very pleasant stay
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked The scenery is beautiful, the showers and toilets are clean
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: thank you for your feedback, it is valuable to us.
the scenery is great with the view of the Downs and the Sea from this site.
we have checked the doors and they do lock, if you try to open the door after locking then you would find that they don't open, sorry that the shower light didn't work for you.
we have also checked the light, it does work, the problem is that some people leave the light on after a shower and as they are solar powered they run down and don't recharge in darkness, however we will look into this and see if we can improve this, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Liked Staff very friendly, cared about the guests and cleanliness of the site. Breakfast food was excellent.
Disliked Large groups on some camping pitches

From the manager: thank you for your feedback which is valuable to us.
we do what we can for our customers, we have actually sampled the products and they are excellent quality at competitive prices.
we actually don't accept large groups because we do value that our customers appreciate the peacefulness of the site.
unfortunately some large groups do book their pitches separately under different names as in normal small booking only to get together after they have arrived, which is not possible to control. however we do monitor the site to do security checks and make sure there is no music on after 9pm which is a site rule.
many thanks

Disliked No wifi

From the manager: thank you for your feedback.
there are great views of the Downs and the Sea from this site, with walks and places to visit, as well as only 15 minutes away from Newhaven ferry port.
unfortunately there is no electricity on this site, so not able to provide wifi, however you can actually get 5G on your phone from this hilltop depending on your phone provider, so most people connect their laptop to their phone hotspot.
many thanks

From the manager: thank you for your feedback.
we do try to promote this site as a peaceful stay but we do occasionally get the odd ones that that don't respect others, we do have a No Music policy after 9pm which we monitor along with the security of the site.
we have improved the toilet block with the toilet flushes on a separate system, and we are looking to improve them further, any thoughts and ideas are welcome, good or bad, as we do want to improve the site as much as possible.
please do feel free to voice your opinions an any subject about the site.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Really pleasant few days at Stud Farm. Good basic amenities. Such a simple rule to take your rubbish home means the site is clean and no scavenging seagulls! Large pitch with great views. Helpful friendly staff. A great day out = easy 30 min walk down to Saltdean - enjoyed the lively art-deco lido (lovely coffee and food in the restaurant); also a quiet dip in the sea just minutes away; sea view supper at the Smugglers Rest and back to the site.

From the manager: Many thanks for your feedback,
taking your rubbish away does keep the pitch prices as low as possible, many thanks.
everyone does appreciate the views of the Downs and the Sea and the places to visit along with good walks, is also close to Newhaven ferry port, 15 minutes away.
glad you enjoyed the local attractions.
we enjoyed our stay very much

yes the views are lovely with the view of the Downs and the Sea, and lovely views on the many walks.
