  • Peaceful camping field on a farm 10 minutes’ drive from Hastings
  • Battle Abbey 15 minutes’ drive and Bodiam Castle 25 minutes
  • Shop and pub 15 minutes’ walk; Hastings bus stop at the site entrance
A peaceful rural retreat 10 minutes’ drive from seaside Hastings in Kent, Beaulieu Farm Campsite sits on an arable farm that has been family-run for four generations; most of the fields are now used for making hay, which is sold in the animal feed shop five minutes’ walk away. As this is a working farm, there is no access to any fields other than the slightly undulating, well-mown camping meadow, where spacious pitches are sheltered by hedges and mature trees. The site entrance is controlled by electric gates, which operate via number-plate recognition and work around the clock for your maximum security. Amenities include washing-up sinks and separate facilities for men and women with loos and, for a small fee per every five minutes, showers. Barbecues are allowed on site (you’ll need to bring your own equipment), and you can pick up bits and bobs to grill at the local convenience store (15 minutes’ walk). If you’re not a fan of alfresco cooking, there’s a pub serving good food about the same distance away. For bigger shopping needs or a variety of bars and restaurants, you can catch a bus into Hastings right outside the site entrance, with the journey taking 10 minutes.

Sarah W.

Non-electric grass pitch (medium)

Liked Really friendly and helpful staff. Massive field with spacious pitches. Very clean toilet and shower facilities. Little shop with essentials and treats. Washing up area and plenty of drinking water taps. Secure site with cctv, ANPR secure gate and passcode pedestrian gate. Everyone respected each others space! Would visit again.
Bus stop outside which goes into Hastings, pub 15 min walk away

Disliked Showers are coin operated and we had no cash and no cash machine/change machine anywhere local. Depends where you are in the field but close to a road but didn’t bother us

Non-electric grass pitch (medium)

Liked Convenient location, quiet and spacious could pitch where we liked. Some shade. It’s close to a busy road, but there was little noise at the back of the site.
The owner was friendly and everything explained on arrival.

Disliked Having to leave by 10am as the tent wasn’t quite dry, so had to be unpacked at home.

Local attractions

Beaulieu Farm Campsite makes a great base for family day trips: the beach, pier and fish and chip shops of Hastings are 10 minutes’ drive/bus journey away. If the weather’s not playing ball, you can head down to Hastings Aquarium (15 minutes’ drive) and watch majestic sharks glide about their tanks, or dive deep underground to follow old pirates’ tunnels at the Smugglers Adventure (also 15 minutes). If your interests veer more towards the cultural, Hastings Castle (15 minutes) has dungeons and a medieval chapel to nose around, or you might get the kids to fall in love with history on a dragon hunt at moated Bodium Castle (25 minutes). The imposing remains of Battle Abbey (15 minutes) houses interactive displays on the Battle of Hastings in 1066. When fresh air is on the agenda, head for the High Weald National Landscape (10 minutes), where you can stroll up to Harold’s Henge, a sculpture along the 1066 Country Walk (10 minutes’ drive to the car park). Alternatively, hike sections of the Saxon Shore Way as it passes through Hastings Country Park (15 minutes).
