Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Location, loads of wild spaces and enjoyed the spotting alll the birds. Nice walks, close to canal. Really nice big individual camping plots even if you are a solo camper...a rarity. Only staying 1 night, as en route to festival, but would have been happy here for a few days
Disliked: Loos, smelly chemical loos that didn'tflush properly, would have been far better to dig pits and have compost loos!!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The amount of space between pitches is perfect, it felt as if we were the only ones on site at times, despite it being quite full. Having tall grass around the pitches meant each tent was well-screened. It was easy to check in online, and there are signposts for walks nearby which is useful. The road through the site is gravelled and access is good. Convenient location for Chichester with lovely countryside views.
Disliked: The portaloos were especially grim at times - not the best experience I have to admit! The kitchen area is particularly basic. Although one does not expect a full blown kitchen when wild camping, it would be a good idea not to have the drinking water pipe dangling/resting in the mud. Overspill from people filling canisters with water caused people to stand in mud when washing up. An easy one to solve without prejudicing the wild camping ethos. There is road noise which we didnโt expect. Itโs not enough to be a huge issue, but it does exist.

We really appreciate your feedback about the sinks and the water hose. We will look into alternatives and ways to fix these problems. Thankyou again for coming to stay, Donnington Wild Camping ๐๏ธ

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Place beautiful and peaceful. Great location and very well kept
Disliked: Customer service not existent. We were charged and booked but didnโt receive the email confirming what pitch number was assigned to us. We tried to call and email and no one picked up or responded. As a result, we were forced to take one of the two pitches that was free. However, a guy who booked it came later and we had to move the tent and all the equipment. Thankfully, no one else showed up which made us think that potentially that was our spot.

Liked: Lovely quiet campsite, pitches were large and well spaced out and nicely secluded with the long grass surrounding the pitch.
Disliked: Arrived to no fire pit on our pitch, emailed the owners and was told there should be one, not much help. My kids were looking forward to a fire so we ended up using one from an empty pitch. Luckily no one occupied it Only 3 toilets but that was fine, they were supposed to be cleaned regularly but not done in the two days we were there! Was very smelly by the second day and dirty.

Liked: Easy check in, just rock up at your pitch (which is sent to you 24 hours beforehand). Beautiful pitches, large, level and private in between tall grass. The fire pits and wood made the trip. We walked down the canal and it's well worth a trip, also only 10 to mins from the beach
Disliked: There wasn't hand soap all the time and a bit of noise of the cars when wind blowing. We went to the crown and anchor pub,which was recommended and pretty for a drink at sunset but overpriced (and we're from London!)
