Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: This is just the most perfect site. 360 degree gorgeous views. Fantastic walks in every direction - plus a beautiful walk down to the sea and local pub. Facilities are spotless and amazing to have hot water to wash up with.
The sounds of wildlife and birdwatching are lovely and you can’t hear anything else but skylarks calling! Really nice to have soft clean grass to walk barefoot on across the entire site - most sites have thistles/stones/uncut grass. Lovely friendly hosts and nothing is too much trouble. My second stay here and I will return for definite as it is without doubt the most peaceful calming site I’ve ever stayed at.

Liked: Fabulous location, plenty of space and fine for camper vans (ours was 5.4m) - our plot was level enough for us but some may need levelling chocks. Note length limit of 6m (which appears as much to do with being able to access through Telscombe village). Staff friendly and helpful. Takes about 30 minutes to walk to sea front by Saltdean. Facilities basic but kept very clean and fit for purpose. Waste disposal point is fine too for our on board dometic cassette loo, Definitely recommend and use again.

Liked: We have been here before and it’s a truly lovely camp site. The ablutions are clean, warm and exactly what you expect. They have two wash up places too and a drinking water tap. It’s close enough to places like Saltdean and has some beautiful walks off the campsite grounds as well as sheep and horse in fields around it.
Disliked: Not all the pitches are 100% level although we not bothered by that. Unfortunately due to it being on a hill on the coast it is subject to some winds.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
been on top of the downs we do occasionally get the winds from the open sea,
But we are lucky to have both views of the sea and the downs.

Liked: That view is just fantastic - imagine whati t would cost to get that as a hotel room view! Downside is that it does get a bit windy. Owners are fantastically friewndly and drive up to check regularly - even though there were only a few visitors (mid May mid-week). Facilities work well. direct walks.
Disliked: having to leave and walk on !
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your feedback, it is very nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay, the views are fantastic it is not very often that you get a campsite that you can see the downs and sea.
hope you would like to visit again soon.

Liked: Situation was perfect. Loved the setting and views and did a fab coastal walk as well as a Downs Walk . Quiet campsite and decent facilities.
Disliked: Only downside was the 11am checkout. Think 12pm would be far better as I needed to rush a little to return from my walk.

What one would expect of a camping site with the owner in attendance to book you in and provide information.
Disliked: There could have been better instructions on where to go for walks and distance to beach etc.
