  • 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.

What customers say

Spacious, tidy site with friendly staff. Guests loved the clean facilities, hot showers, and handy food options. Great for exploring, peaceful with plenty of room. Can get busy and noisy at peak times, but most loved it and plan to return.

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

Liked Calm and spacious

Disliked Like on almost every campsite: if you sleep in a tent the sound of slamming caravan-/car-doors at night is not nice. Also it would be nicer if cars have to park outside the tent area, it would make a nicer atmosphere for the stay.

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

Liked There is a large, spacious field which is pretty much flat, great for tents. The facilities were lovely and very clean. Having a shop there selling all sorts of camping equipment is very helpful.

The cafe, Smoking Crust, has a good range of food serving various breakfast baps, great coffee (with a selection of different milks) in the morning and pizzas (including gluten free and vegan), chips, chicken tenders and more in the evening. If there's a delay because of the volume of customers, they'll take your order and phone you when it's ready.

All the staff there were really friendly and helpful. We're definitely returning!

Disliked Nothing there to dislike

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

Liked A simple but well thought out site with everything I needed.
First bonus was a friendly helpful welcome followed by the morning of my departure an early morning visit by several deer.

Disliked Nothing really, maybe the ice cream chiller needs to be a couple of degrees colder but the fact there was one was a good thing!

Liked This really is the perfect campsite. Utterly peaceful. Beautiful scenery at the foot of the hills, completely level field, lush green grass, spotless facilities, plentiful water points, onsite pizza/food available, plentiful fire pits and logs. Amazing walks right from site. Had the best ever stay and will be back again and again!

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.
