What customers say
Nestled at the foot of the South Downs, this peaceful campsite offers beautiful views and spacious, private spots. Guests love the tranquil, natural setting, perfect for walks. Facilities are basic but clean, with composting toilets. Proximity to a pub and Lewes is a big plus. While most enjoyed the "back to basics" vibe, some missed showers and wanted path improvements. Friendly hosts and a community feel make it a highly recommended, restorative stay.

Perfect peaceful site if you love low key, quiet and private camping
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Such a beautiful peaceful site, the pitches are very private and nestled amongst long grass. It’s in the perfect spot to go walking without needing to get in the car, and the local pub which is 10 seconds from the site entrance has great food.
Super close to the town of Lewes which was lovely and we also drove to Seaford for a dip in the sea.
Shower is back to basics but which doesn’t bother me, and was great! The campsite cat and dog really made it too, will definitely be back!! Felt lucky we chose this site
Disliked The compost loos are great and were always clean, but being quite short (5 ft 3) the seat was very high resulting in my feet dangling off the floor when sat down, which wasn’t always comfortable, but honestly barely a fault.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked This is a real gem of a campsite.
Nestled beneath the South Downs with panoramic views in all directions it was hard to believe that you were only a couple of miles outside of Lewes.
The camping plots are so widely spaced it is highly unlikely you would ever be bothered by neighbouring tents.
Although the facilities were basic, everything was exceptionally clean.
The close proximity of The Juggs public house was the added plus point for the site!
Disliked Nothing

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great vibe in this organic farm setting. Really simple place with friendly people. The setting is rustic and quiet with composting toilets that are clean and easy to use.
Nice and handy to Brighton, only 20mins by car and a great little pub just across the road.
Disliked The farm field is exposed to the weather, so expect wind and rain if it is forecast.

The perfect place for a solo retreat to escape from the rat race!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The setting for a solo peaceful retreat was idyllic. I loved the beautiful downs overlooking the site, the standing stone, the windmill, and the charming village and 15th Century pub just over the road. It was only 15 minutes from Brighton, but I felt like I was miles away.
I really liked the way the pitches were set out, with mowed walkways and circles. It made sure that there was plenty of privacy.
The facilities were basic but clean and perfect for one or two nights. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
