An hour circular walk from the campsite where you can see camels!

Fairy houses dotted around the woodland.

Great staff. Lots of thought and effort gone into this site.

Unpowered grass campervan 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.

Unpowered grass campervan site

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.

Liked: A well considered and natural place to spend the weekend camping. The toilets were well looked after and the showers were great. The environment was relaxed, with a variety of spaces for camping as singletons or larger groups. I didn't try the morning yoga sessions or the weekend coffee and pizza vans but they were well received by other campers. A great place for a short camping trip that is less than an hour's drive from south west London.

Disliked: The main camping area is quite slopey which made everything slightly unlevel...cooking tables, sleeping matts, football games, etc.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A fun and relaxing experience for the whole family.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: What a lovely trip! The site was well organised and in a beautiful setting. The toilets, although typical for composting toilets, were well-maintained and well stocked. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the games and facilities available were great fun. My 7 year old particularly loved the fairy woods and the rope swing. The 'extra' activities were well received, especially the weekend coffee van and Saturday evening fresh pizza! Delicious. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can!

Disliked: Showers were a bit temperamental, but the owner was attentive in assisting, and who really wants to shower when camping anyway! :D

Lovely calm site with toilet seats for children in the loos.

Bell tent

Liked: Everything - the campsite is such a beautiful place with woodland for shade and exploration, and big open spaces for games, fire pits, play equipment - it has it all. People can even choose to camp in the woods. Will and Rachel are perfect hosts. What really impressed me is that they stay on site, and enforce a very reasonable noise curfew (if needed). And at the weekends in summer there's an ice cream van, pizza oven, yoga, sauna - all fantastic

Local attractions

Looking for a spot to get up to some kayaking or wild swimming? Park up at Barcombe Mills (10 minutes' drive) to explore the river Ouse and reservoir. Perhaps you'll find yourself paddling upriver in the direction of a waterside pub like The Anchor Inn (10 minutes), where you can also hire a boat if you haven't brought your own. If sticking to dry land is preferable to messing around in boats, check out the mid-century steam trains that serve the four stations on the Bluebell Railway (10 minutes). Alternatively, head into Brighton (30 minutes) and sail down the esplanade on Volk’s Electric Railway. Lewes (15 minutes) should also make your to-do list: its 11th-century Norman Castle, priory ruins and connections to Anne of Cleves should sort the historical component of your visit, while catching a show at Glyndebourne Opera (10 minutes outside of town or 20 minutes from base) should please to those curious about culture. And the kids? They'll be sorted at Drusillas Park (30 minutes).
