Would recommend and visit again despite the shortcomings.

Liked Cwery close (15m drive) from Seven Sisters where we had spent the afternoon. Friendly welcome, and beautiful site surrounded by oak trees, and generally quiet.
Nice crowd with the exception of the Karen next to us, for whom everything was a problem (except her car door slamming at 2am, apparently.) Not the campsite's fault, and as she wasn't displaying a tag doubt she'd even paid to be there.
Disliked No hot water. Showers in the evening after a hot and sticky day were ice cold. Some may say that's a blessing, but even I have my limits. Same story the next morning for dish washing. They had a sign with a mobile number to call, but I wasn't going to hang around for an hour until someone showed up to say that they didn't know how to fix it. But it does suggest that mgmt knows there's a problem, and have decided that laminated signs are a cheaper option than fixing it.
Showers were grassy, but that's camping. Were cleaned after about 9am on Sunday morning.
Reception/shop didn't open until after 11am on the Sunday, so if you had forgotten something, the onsite shop was not going to help. Didn't see any shops as we passed through the village, so try not to forget anything!
Limited bins that were overflowing.
Not the cheapest option, and I'd expect hot water for the price.

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.
