  • Peaceful, spacious family-run farm site 10 minutes from Henfield
  • 10 minutes' drive from the South Downs National Park; 20 from Brighton
  • Pick up fresh free-range eggs from the farm's hens
Alpacas, goats, Shetland ponies
 the nippers are going to love this one (to be fair, it’s likely the grownups will love it too, but feel free to make out it’s for their benefit if its earns you brownie points). If you’re fond of finding furry friends on your holidays, set forth for farmyard fun at Pear Tree Farm, a family-run site 10 minutes’ drive from Henfield (and its handy supermarket and shops). This West Sussex site is part of a 12-acre property, but with guest numbers kept quite minimal to ensure oodles of peace and space for all who settle here. Come armed with all your kit, as this is a back-to-basics place that doesn’t have such facilities as toilets and showers. Bring a barbie and you’re welcome to cook out over the coals; if the farm’s flock of happy hens has done its stuff you’re also in for a great breakfast feasting on fresh free-range eggs. For days when cooking's too much faff, it’s a 20-minute trot to the local pub (just the right amount of walking to work up an appetite) or a five-minute drive to Hurstpierpoint for a little cluster of pubs and takeaways. Away from the animal antics, there are some fab days out nearby – you’ll be a few minutes’ drive from scenic strolls in the South Downs National Park, and 20 or so from beach times in Brighton.

Liked: Tina and her husband are very accommodating. They allowed us to check-in early the next day after we missed our chance to take our caravan out of storage and therefore missed on the first night we had booked. They also allow visitors (for a small fee) The pitches are well levelled. The alpacas are a really fun touch.

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: We have been back home for a week now and are still talking/thinking about our amazing stay at Pear Tree Farm. Tina and Derek are the loveliest, friendliest hosts we have ever met. Nothing was too much trouble, and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them. Derek let us park right next to the alpacas field which made mine and my daughters day. Bear is hilarious and so friendly! Tina also took the time to show my daughter all of the animals and spent hours chatting to her. My daughter says Tina is her new best friend. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of being on a 'proper' camp site, i.e., no frills, which we love. Absolutely 100% we will be back! Cannot wait!

Disliked: Having to go home!

Willow primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very friendly and flexible. Flight delayed and very late arrival but still a positive greeting. Had no provisions given the late time but was offered milk for a cuppa. Small site as yet no facilities, work in progress. Great for a short stay in a camper van

Local attractions

Seeking somewhere to stroll or cycle? You’ll be sorted in the South Downs National Park – with more than 2,000 miles of paths, it claims to have more to choose from than any other of the UK’s national parks. If the 100 miles of the South Downs Way seems a little daunting, perhaps the six-mile Centurion Way or the 11-mile Meon Valley Trail (along a disused railway line) will be more your style. Horsey types in search of something a little larger than the Shetland ponies can saddle up for rural rides about 10 minutes’ drive away, or head to Hickstead (five minutes’ drive) or Plumpton races (25 minutes) to see the pros in action. If you’re more into golf than gallops, you can take your pick from three courses within a 10-minute drive. Set off towards the seaside and you should hit Brighton in about 20 minutes or so. There’s always plenty to do along the buzzing stretch of beach, including watersports galore, traditional amusements on the pier and the excellent Sea Life aquarium. It’s worth leaving time to visit the toy museum and poke around in North Laine’s independent shops and cafĂ©s too.
