  • Working farm site in a valley on the South Downs Way
  • In the South Downs National Park, a 20-minute drive from Chichester
  • Café at the entrance to the farm; campfires allowed on site
Soak up the valley views and get in some real quality time at Littleton Farm Campsite, a rural working farm site in the South Downs National Park. Based in a spacious valley that's home to fallow deer, roe deer and hares, this wildlife haven is 100 metres from the South Downs Way cycle path, making it a well-placed base for discovering the chalk downlands and sloping valleys around the national park. Treat your tummy to some TLC at the on-site café at the farm’s entrance – it serves up barista coffee and a nice selection of cakes and pastries for a tasty breakfast or to top up your energy reserves throughout the day. And if you want to fill your pockets with snacks to eat throughout the day, there's a village shop 10 minutes’ drive away. Building up an appetite for all this should be straightforward, as you can head out for hikes and mountain bike rides straight from the site. Plus, the site is family-friendly so the kids can tag along on the nearby countryside trails too. Facilities back at base include portable toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area.You may want to end the day with a campfire and stargazing on the site (which is located in a designated dark skies reserve), or you may want to head out instead to a local pub for a chilled drink. For the former, you can buy logs, kindling and firelighters on site; for the latter there’s a 16th-century pub-restaurant five minutes’ drive away – another place to relax and tattle about the day’s tales.

What customers say

Peaceful South Downs campsite. Enjoy stunning scenery, wildlife, and direct access to hiking trails. Basic but functional facilities, popular cafe, and campfires allowed. Some find it pricey for the "back to basics" feel. No dogs.

Ian B.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Amazing location, plenty of space. We enjoyed watching the Ravens in the day time and listening to the owls at night. The dark sky was pretty impressive as well.

Disliked There really isn't much to dislike. Perhaps more shower facilities. It was OK when we stayed there in September because the site wasn't very busy but I imagine they could be busy when the site is fuller.

Luke T.

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Great location, great views, great host.

Lots of open space with undefined plots. Natural looking and fits well with the environment. Campfires allowed, fire wood sold by host who attends campsite each evening.

Showers clean and spacious with warm water. Toilets are portaloos but are clean, numerous, and well stocked.

Cafe on site with good variety of food and drinks.

Easy to find, location is well signed and is a good stopping point along the South Downs way. Bus stop right outside site also.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Nestled in a beautiful little valley, really quiet peaceful spot, only a couple of other's there when we went in early Sept. Great location for hiking along the Southdowns way with a really good café near enough on site. Owners were really friendly and chilled-out as well.

Disliked Not really that big of a deal but it's a fairly hilly site so there aren't loads of perfectly flat spots, but plenty of options if you don't mind a shallow gradient. Also means you won't wake up in a puddle!

Tasmin G.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great large area to pitch with easy access to toilets. You can access the South downs hike right from the entrance to the campsite and we got to see a stunning sunflower field just on the trail next to the camp(Thanks to Tania's recommendation). You can barbeque on the grass at your camp, just need to take a grill. Great that you could buy wood as well. Useful communication from Tania before and during the stay.

Disliked Was not a huge issue for us but only 2 showers so needed to choose a less busy time

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked A great find. I almost want to keep it quiet!

I don't actually want to leave anything negative.

The hosts were fantastic and the setting out of this world.

We will be back!

Disliked Just the 1 x shower is the only negative and having to take our rubbish home.

But, I knew this before I booked.

Next time we will bring cereals in plastic containers and try to do something to limit the plastic from the meats we are.

Cans can be easily crushed and wine can come in a carton,rather than a bottle!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great location, beautiful scenery, freedom to choose own pitch, lots of space for children (and adults) to play, portaloos and water stations conveniently placed around the field, campfires allowed. South Downs Way comes past the site giving easy access to walks. Clear info from site owner.

Local attractions

Before you get to the active stuff, perhaps a drink? Tinwood Estate (10 minutes' drive) runs vineyard tours for those of you who want to tell apart your rosé from your red. It’s not hard to track down a cutesy coffee spot in Chichester (20 minutes) – after you’ve visited the cathedral and shops, of course. Now that you’re properly fed and fuelled, you might want to practise your putting skills on the golf course at Cowdray House (20 minutes). It’s a fabulous setting for polo too, based on a country estate with heritage ruins. Where else is historic around here? Petworth (10 minutes), a market town with antique shops, hits the mark. The Goodwood Estate (15 minutes), too – this estate hosts horseracing events, golf and a flying school. Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is another great spot – from here, boat trips depart to search for seals. Rather explore realistic buildings from between 950AD and the 19th century? Head to the Weald & Downland Living Museum (10 minutes' drive). West Dean Gardens (15 minutes) also has an Edwardian pergola, walks and garden courses.
