Hare and Hounds Campsite

Liked Lovely campsite!
Owners are very friendly and helpful but it's also quite a chilled place and we felt very private and relaxed there.
Facilities are great - they have thought of everything - and enjoyed using the fire pit, although could have done with more kindling.
It's a couple of miles from Rye - Lovely walk via footpaths.

Disliked Only complaint is that the automatic light sensors in the bathroom don't stay on very long and consequently I had to step out of the shower in the dark to reactivate it!
There is also some traffic noise from the road but not too bad.

Liked A cosy gem in the heart of East Sussex 🌧️🌿

We stayed at the Hare and Hounds campsite in Rye and absolutely loved it. Even with the rain pouring down, the walk from the campsite into Rye was a highlight—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. There's something magical about strolling through the countryside with the sound of rain on leaves and the promise of a cosy town at the end.

After getting thoroughly soaked, the warm, spotless showers were a godsend. Nothing beats stepping into a clean, well-kept shower block when you're chilled to the bone. The facilities throughout the site were immaculate—clearly well cared for, and it made all the difference.

Whether you're chasing sunshine or embracing the drizzle, this site is a lovely base for exploring Rye and the surrounding area. We’ll definitely be back.

Liked Great grass pitch (I hate hard standing) and all communal areas including showers and toilets were spotless. Plenty of info on the area. Bus stop outside the site.

Disliked Busy road at the site entrance made it a little noisy. There is a pavement towards Rye Foreign and the pub but it stops in the opposite direction towards Rye. To get to Rye walking is a really pleasant walk (about 50 minutes) across the fields but parts will be very muddy and slippery after rain.

Quiet

Liked Nice layout, quiet site. Decent sized pitch. Easy well marked walk into Rye across fields. Good little washing up area.

Disliked We live in a very quiet rural area and so the road noise was a bit annoying. However, if you live in a town or city it probably won't bother you as its very quiet after about 10pm.

Liked Nice big flat and grassy pitches, available refrigerator and microwave, washing up area under cover, lots of little details like dedicated drinking water spigot, easy places to put rubbish, and even dog parking by the toilets! Lockable charging containers for phone or power bank. Relatively quiet area despite unavoidable car noise from road. Bus stop right outside the campsite! Clean and very organized. Loved the fire pit rental!

Disliked It would be nice to have more toilets/dressing rooms available, though I never had to wait. I can imagine during the high season it might get a bit busy. The bus to/from Rye town did not run often enough, though that is not the fault of the campsite, and it was sufficient for my needs on this trip.

Liked toilets and showers were generally free - even on a busy bank holiday, and of good quality. good pitch, grass, quiet and a few families. primarily motor tourists.

Disliked the slight gap in the bathroom folding door
