What customers say
This peaceful, well-kept campsite gets praise for its friendly, helpful owners, lovely rural setting, and great access to the Cuckoo Trail. Facilities are usually clean, though some guests found them dated and in need of updates. Most stays are very positive, but a few mentioned shower issues and cleanliness concerns. Great for walkers, cyclists, and those wanting a quiet getaway.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great location easy by public transport
Primitive grass and earth campsite
Liked Great location for coming by public transport/bike as located by a walking route to either Polgate or Hailsham. Lovely view of the South Downs and nice flat pitches. Warm welcome, and good washing up facilities

Sadly we won't be returning.
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Friendly enough couple running the site, plenty of space and pretty quiet area which was nice. Pitch was ok and reasonably flat
Disliked Facilities were very basic and really in need of renovation. Wash room roof was leaking in the rain. Generally facilities were very old and tired.
Showers only ran for a few seconds before needing to be started again.
Electric hook up was an extension lead - it did work, but one of the pitches we had did not require hook up. When I emailed for a refund on this my email was ignored - which was a shame.

We had a lovely two-night stay with our camper at this camp site
Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked We stayed at this campsite for two nights with our camper, and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful – the perfect place to relax and unwind. Everything is sclean and well maintained, from the pitches to the facilities.
The owners are truly wonderful – warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The owner also has a great sense of humor and was always up for a friendly chat or a laugh, which added a lovely personal touch to our stay.
Honestly, there’s nothing negative I can say. This is one of those rare places where everything just feels right. We would definitely come back!
Disliked The sanitary facilities are clean and tidy, though they could benefit from some modern updates. That said, everything worked well and was kept in good condition.

Powered grass and earth campsite
Liked Schöner Campingplatz für Wanderer oder Radfahrer. Es gibt eine kurze Verbindung zu einem Weg der von Hailsham nach Polegate führt. In beiden Städten kann man gut essen und trinken oder von Polegate mit dem Zug weiter… Auf dem Platz ist es sauber und alle waren stets freundlich und hilfsbereit
