  • Eco-conscious green field site in the South Downs National Park
  • Eastbourne 15 minutes’ drive; Pevensey 20 minutes; Brighton 45 minutes
  • Showers, toilets and food truck on site; pubs a short drive away
At the eastern edge of the South Downs National Park, with cracking views over its green vistas and just a 10-minute drive from the famed Seven Sisters walk, Bramley Park Camping is an East Sussex site in tune with its natural surroundings. The owners are seasoned campers, bringing back the best ideas from their travels to create a place where nature can be enjoyed with as little impact as possible. Along with a respect for nature comes an easy-going vibe and a warm welcome for all guests, including your four-legged family members. You can choose where to pitch and park your car alongside. Solar lights keep light pollution to a minimum, and guests are asked to keep noise low late at night – a bonus for others on site as well as the wildlife that’s made its home in the surrounding protected woodland. Every weekend (plus on weekdays during peak season only), the on-site food station serves fresh pizzas, breakfast and coffee. If you're still peckish, the on-site shop stocks camping essentials, drinks, ice creams and bags of ice. Within about 20 minutes’ drive there are enough great beaches to fill a whole holiday: Eastbourne and Bexhill have a traditional seaside resort feel, or you could go for a more out-of-the-way day out at Pevensey Bay, Birling Gap or Cuckmere Haven. The bright lights of Brighton are a 45-minute drive away. Other outdoor adventures await close by with the South Downs Way National Trail linking up with footpaths about two miles from the site. Five miles away, Friston Forest has a family-friendly cycle route and a more challenging trail for mountain bikers. Facilities on site include showers and toilets (including disabled facilities), a washing-up area and recycling. You can hire firepits and portable chargers and buy logs. There are cafés, takeaways, pubs and food shops within about 25 minutes’ walk or a few minutes’ drive.

Glamping bell tent

Liked Beautiful location, generally quite clean in all facilities, the fact that one can get some breakfast and dinner, if a bit too lazy to cook for a big group was also great!
The glamping set was lovely too.
Then people at the reception were very friendly and welcoming and helpful, we were a bit of a handful group:)

Disliked Lack of parasol in the glamping tents, it was impossible to stay and enjoy properly on the hot day after about 9am, absolutely no hiding from the sun. No other covered areas other, it would have been great to have some shaded area for kids to play for us to relax:)

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site (wild)

Liked We stayed at Bramley Park Camping from Friday evening through to Sunday morning and had such a fantastic experience that we’re already planning our next visit.

The pitches are wonderfully flat, spacious, and there are no restrictive size limits, which made setting up stress-free. The views across the South Downs are absolutely stunning and provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing weekend away.

The site is incredibly dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us, and the staff genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Lucy and Tom were particularly outstanding - friendly, approachable, and always happy to help with anything we needed.

The facilities were excellent. The shower blocks were clean, with great water pressure and consistent hot water - something that isn’t always guaranteed when camping! The onsite shop was brilliantly stocked with both essentials and those little items you inevitably forget to pack.

One of the highlights of our stay was the food. The onsite pizzas were absolutely superb and well worth trying. We were also delighted by the range of drinks available, including beers from Long Man Brewery. The NEIPA was particularly delicious and went down perfectly while enjoying the evening views.

The location is ideal. Not only is it perfectly placed for exploring the South Downs and Eastbourne, but Brighton and Hastings are both within easy reach, making it a fantastic base for exploring the wider area.

Bramley Park Camping has struck that rare balance between excellent facilities, a relaxed atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and genuinely welcoming staff. We will definitely be returning again and again, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a camping getaway in Sussex.

Local attractions

If you’re walking along the South Downs Way, about three and a half miles from site look out for the Long Man of Wilmington, a 235ft-high figure etched on the side of the chalk hill. Head to Pevensey Castle and Pevensey Bay to see a very famous spot from British history. This beach is said to be where William the Conqueror came ashore in 1066 before the Battle of Hastings. The site of the battle itself is half an hour’s drive away from site, six miles outside Hastings and handily enough called Battle so you can’t miss it. If entertaining the kids is on the agenda, Knockhatch Adventure Park (15 minutes’ drive) and Drusillas Park (20 minutes) – both with rides, zoo and playgrounds – should be just the ticket.
