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.

Excellent site, friendly staff, super dog friendly - we will be back!
Struttons unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Reservoir was really lovely, the view of the sunflower fields as soon as we stepped outside our tent was incredible, facilities were well maintained and the camp was not overcrowded/allowed to be overbooked meaning everyone had plenty of space between one another.
Site, bookings and facilities all very well managed by Lyndsay and the boys - we will definitely be back!

Would definitely return for another nature escape!
Tennis Wells unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The campsite was clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning scenery—perfect for walking, stargazing, and soaking up nature or just relaxing. One of the highlights was easy access to a beautiful lake, where we spent hours swimming and paddle boarding. It was the perfect way to cool off and enjoy the sunshine.
Great location, facilities were basic but functional, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to unplug for a bit.

Struttons unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely campsite in a beautiful setting, with a huge sunflower field behind us and great walks, perfect base to explore the South Downs.
It is a basic campsite which we like!
The portaloos were the nicest smelling I've ever used, always with toilet paper despite it being on a busy weekend. The person who runs the site is friendly, attentive and helpful. We would happily return!

A lovely back to basics camp site, well run by Lindsey & co
Struttons unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The quietness, the variety of birds, the reservoir. The portaloos were very clean and fresh smelling, everything was well signposted. I didn't use the showers but they were clean and ingenious. Campers were well spread out so you couldn't hear anyone else. I felt totally safe there and it was my first camping trip with a tailgate tent and going solo. Fresh drinking water available.
Disliked Nothing to dislike
