Spacious woodland pitches (added by manager 30 Aug 2023)

Adults-only wild camping on a farm in the South Downs National Park
Storrington five minutes’ drive; Bignor Roman Villa 15 minutes
Peaceful woodland setting; well-behaved dogs welcome

Hilly trails, Roman ruins, nature reserves and beaches – staying at Sparright Farm puts you within close driving distance of all these and more. Granted, you might have to forego some comforts (there are no showers, for example), but the location, right in the heart of the South Downs National Park, more than makes up for the somewhat spartan facilities. What’s more, this is an adults-only site, so there won't be any noisy kids running around and waking you up at ungodly o’ clock. Do you like the sound of that? Then read on… You can set up among the pine and chestnut trees, right on the forest floor (incidentally, the woodland location means that barbecues and campfires are not allowed), where your dog might enjoy picking up different scents and going on long walkies. (Please keep an eye on your four-legged friend and make sure it doesn’t chase the resident farmyard animals.) The site comes with a portable toilet and running water (not hot), plus expansive views across the South Downs from the picnic area. Speaking of picnics… There’s a village store in Amberley (five minutes’ drive or a 45-minute walk), or you can head to Storrington (five minutes) for supermarkets, greengrocers and a couple of butcher’s shops, plus restaurants, cafés and takeaways.

Local attractions

The grasslands, wetlands and wildflower meadows at RSPB Pulborough Brooks (five minutes’ drive) attract lapwings, ducks and dragonflies, plus small falcons. There's more birdlife at Amberley Wild Brooks (10 minutes), a nature reserve on the banks of the River Arun. Discovered by chance in the early 19th century, Bignor Roman Villa (15 minutes) was probably the home of an aristocratic family. It’s renowned for its well-preserved floor mosaics, including one portraying fighting gladiators in full armour, and for the ruins of an underfloor heating system. There are also displays of excavated objects such as helmets. With the West Sussex coast about half an hour away, it would seem churlish not to spend a day at the seaside. Backed by sandy dunes, Littlehampton’s dog-friendly West Beach is popular for swimming and fishing; or you can head to Worthing for a stroll along the 19th-century pier and fish and chips on the shingle.
