Lovely chilled campsite in the countryside with yoga and therapies.
Bell tent
Liked Laid back vibe at the campsite. Opportunity to do things like yoga and have a massage. Spacious bell tents. The location. The showers and the eco friendly show gels/shampoo. The pizza van - delicious pizzas.
Disliked Whilst I understand the need for compost toilets on a campsite, they did get a bit smelly on a hot weekend. I think an additional hand washing/tooth brushing area near the entrance toilets would have been good. Shame the food van wasn't there on our visit.
Lovely peaceful site surrounded by nature.

Liked Peaceful location, well thought out facilities, very clean, friendly and helpful.
Close to Charleston House. Lewes. Good for exploring. Massage available at short notice.
Disliked Massage tent could be improved, bit cold.
A good family friendly, dog friendly, campfire friendly site

Liked There's lot to like about Earth Camp, we had beautiful weather & enjoyed a clear star filled sky, the fire pits were there to use the logs & kindling were reasonably priced, the Host was friendly, other campers seemed to be relaxed so no problems whatsoever. The place has a nice peacful vibe. The site itsef is pretty hilly as you would expect on the South Downs, there are some flat pitches to be found, the toilets & showers are great. theres bark chipping on the ground to avoid it geting muddy & although quiet there's a festival feel to the site with nice touches here & there, the location from where i am in SW London is ideal for an overnight getaway.
Disliked having to get up 3 times in three night to pee but thats nobodies fault but my own..
Excellent site - would thorughly recommend.

Liked Wondeful place to stay. Lovely surroundings and very helpful owners. Good facilities (compost toilets, water, showers etc) as well a sauna and massage services available. Lovely pub about 20 mins walk away. Only stayed for one night but wished it was more - will definitely return.
Great place to get away from it all and bask in nature.

Liked Everything. Will was a great host, the site is fantastic and a great location to walk to local pubs. Amazing views of the night sky and great facilities. We will definitely be booking to go back again next season
Great staff. Lots of thought and effort gone into this site.

Liked Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities. Lots of mirrors which you don’t find at most sites. Eco friendly. Great choice of games and activities.
Disliked Steep hill down to the facilities, didn’t bother me but maybe not a site for those that are not as physical. Drinking water only from taps in shallow sinks which made it hard to fill up anything but small bottles. Surrounding by trees and nature but a shame to hear motorway traffic in the background.
Peace and tranquility in a beautiful setting.

Liked As it was just after the summer holidays, it was very quiet but just what I needed, so peaceful and tranquil with just the squirrels and birds for company. I loved the rustic compost loos and washing up stations, all in a beautiful setting and I hope to go back next summer when the reiki and yoga classes are on.
Great eco-friendly site with loads of room
