Our pitch (added by manager 19 oct 2022)

Smallholding location (added by manager 03 mar 2022)

Newly planted apple and pear trees (added by manager 03 mar 2022)

A wildlife haven with a back to basics focus, four miles from Horsham
A 20-minute drive from Box Hill and lots of walks a short drive away
Smallholding with rare-breed sheep; two pubs within two minutes' drive

A small and simple affair high on wildlife and relaxation is what awaits at The Oaks in West Sussex… and who needs anything else, when there’s such a splendid set-up styled on the traditional, grassy style of camping? There are very basic facilities and a low number of guests on site to keep all the focus on nature. A wildlife haven, this place very much is… there are wildflowers, trees and rare-breed Soay sheep on the smallholding, who the site describes as very timid but very pretty. That's partly why the Oaks is designed to be a relaxing place, meaning plenty of peace for yourselves too. In keeping with that traditional camping feel, you’ll need a trusty torch to see around the unlit parts of the site at night. Water is provided, and if you want to sizzle some sustenance, off-ground barbecues and firepits are permitted in a designated area. If you’d rather dine indoors, there are two pubs within a couple of minutes' drive in either direction. Warnham, the local village five minutes’ drive away, also has a great butcher, a church and lots of walks for those of you who want to scout out the area on foot. Parks, cinemas, sports facilities, a cobbled market and artisan or chain shopping are also at hand in Horsham, 10 minutes’ drive away. For more of the outdoorsy sort of stuff, Warnham Nature Reserve (five minutes’ drive) is yet another peaceful place for a walk. There’s undercover bike storage on site too – just ask the site when you book. Please note that due to unfenced pools, children must be closely supervised at all times.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: We loved our stay here-owner really friendly and showed us everything we needed. Only a few other pitches which is definitely part of the appeal! On the grounds where they have some sheep and vegetables growing. Definitely come again.

Disliked: Only thing is this site is off a road and in a flight path zone. Still quiet all things considered but did have to get used to the planes flying over initially. Did not deter me personally.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, Laura, and look forward to welcoming you back - enjoy the rest of this Sunny Summer! Emma :-)

Fabulous site, would recommend to anyone.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful scenery! So easy to find but feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere as it’s so peaceful. We had so much space and were able to do some amazing stargazing too. Emma and Adrian are both so lovely and helpful and are there whenever you need them. Also the toilets are immaculate! A fab stay, will definitely come back.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review - we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay so much - especially the stargazing! Have a good rest of the summer and hope to see you next year - Emma :-)

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked: We were travelling through the area on business and had booked last minute for a much needed stopover. Emma the host was friendly and welcoming. The toilet facilities were immaculate, always a bonus! We were travelling light and there were garden chairs that we could have used if necessary. There was also a lovely old bench in the little orchard area so we didn't miss our own facilities, perfect for just relaxing and watching the sheep in the field.

Disliked: None

Christopher D. Jul 2023

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: * Perfect little site - quiet, small, calm * Basic clean outdoor sink, and then couple of small very clean toilets in a barn * Lovely friendly owners who helped our little one feed the sheep * Lots of wildlife about for small kids to look at - we saw ladybirds, sheep, butterflies, bees, frogs, moths, rabbits, grasshoppers, blackbirds etc

Disliked: The only downside really is that you're not a million miles from Gatwick and some of the planes are very loud - fine when you're active during the day, but during the night it's not ideal

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review, Christopher. It was lovely to have you to stay - and fun to have some help feeding the sheep! Hope to see you again - Emma :-)

Josie W. Jul 2023

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked: A lovely, small site surrounded by nature for a little getaway. We especially liked the freedom of choosing where to pitch up, and that they keep numbers low so it doesn't feel crowded. Facilities were more than enough for what we needed - really nice, smart, clean toilets and helpfully located sinks for washing up. The hosts were lovely, and really accomadating to our request to bring our cat along provided he stayed on a lead (and he thoroughly enjoyed walks through the wildflowers, smelling the rabbit warrens, and watching the sheep from the van) Would recommend :) Overall just a lovely peaceful way to spend a night

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review, Josie - we're so glad that you (all!) had a good time and hope to welcome you back before too long! In the meantime, have a super summer! Emma. :-)

Laura F. Jun 2023

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The grounds on which the campsite is situated are beautiful. There are ponds, trees, sheep, gardens. The toilet area provided is clean - two toilets with sinks and mirrors. On the site there is also an outdoor sink and bin. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. There is good coverage so no need for wifi if you have data.

Disliked: There are other places nearby called "The Oaks" so need to be careful when navigating there. If travelling by public transport be prepared to walk a short distance on a busy motorway to the nearest bus stop. To enter and exit the campsite you need to inform the host. Planes can be heard flying by regularly but other than that very peaceful area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review Laura - it was great to meet you and we hope to welcome you back next time you're in the UK! Emma :-)

Local attractions

In the mood to explore? The National Trust’s Box Hill (20 minutes’ drive) in the North Downs has an eight-mile loop or a stepping stones walk past a historic fort. Those of you who have brought your bikes might want to try the parkland or woodland trails at Leith Hill (20 minutes) – there’s a café there to prop your feet up afterwards. More trails can be sought out in the South Downs National Park (40 minutes), of course. Adding a historical element to your trip is easy too – options include the National Trust’s Nymans (15 minutes), Grade II-listed house ruins, and Polesden Lacey (half an hour), an Edwardian estate. Sussex Prairie Gardens (25 minutes), the National Trust’s Winkworth Arboretum (25 minutes) and the National Trust’s Petworth House and Park (35 minutes) are some other excellent locations for history and nature fans. What else? Sipping wine at The Vineyard Kitchen at Mannings Heath Golf & Wine Estate (15 minutes), Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens (20 minutes) or Denbies Wine Estate (20 minutes)? A visit to Brighton (45 minutes)? Perhaps spying on wildlife at the Knepp Estate - Rewilding Area (20 minutes)? You can also organise wildlife safaris here.
