What customers say
Spacious, peaceful South Downs site. Friendly hosts, great reservoir for swimming/paddleboarding. Loved the wild camping feel, fire pits & local pub. Basic, clean facilities (bucket showers, portaloos). Minor notes on shower heads, bins, and occasional noise.

Tennis Wells unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Friendly team on arrival. Lovely site for wild camping. The cold water bucket showers were very refreshing after a hot day in the sun. The portaloos were always kept clean and there’s an abundance of clean drinking water provided in bowers. Easy to locate the camp site, with additional emails from the owners. Lovely place to go with young family a dog. Stunning location in the South Downs, with lots to do nearby.
