  • Dog-friendly wild camping site surrounded by woodlands in West Sussex
  • A 20-minute drive from Leith Hill and 35 minutes from the South Downs
  • Three pubs, food shop and butcher a short walk away; barbecues allowed
All about wild camping and the outdoors, the stroke of nature runs rather deep at Sands Farm Weekend Camping surrounded by green woodlands and the West Sussex countryside. The dog-friendly site just outside Warnham is 35 minutes’ drive away from the South Downs National Park and geared up for an off-grid, wild-styled stay in a remote field. There aren’t too many distractions around this site, unless you’re counting the footpaths and bridleways close by, including a couple directly accessible from the site. The local village 20 minutes’ walk away may also play a part in reeling you in, as it has a dainty church, small food shop, three pubs (two serving food all day) and a butchers to help you get the goods ready for a barbecue back on site. You’ll have a nice amount of privacy for your barbecue, as each pitch has its own mown patch in the long grass. The facilities on site are kept simple for an authentic wild camping break, so this means you’ll have access to portable toilets and running water at all times – but there’s no chemical waste disposal or electric here. While you already have a typical English village close by, you may want to chase down any missing essentials from your luggage in Horsham, a larger market town 10 minutes’ drive away, or the supermarket 10 minutes down the road.

Highly recommended, peaceful campground with spacious, private sites in beautiful surroundings. Guests rave about the friendly owner, great value, and tranquil vibe. Despite some gripes about portable toilets, most plan to return. Lovely walks and pubs nearby.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked This site is just perfect. Beautiful huge pitches with lots of space and privacy. Thoughtful touches like solar lights at every pitch and around the site. Facilities were spotless. Lovely walks in the woods and great pub just 30 mins walk from site.
Fantastic value for money. Peaceful and spacious and teaming with wildlife.
