What customers say

Gardeners Farm: tranquil country getaway, stunning views & ample space. Spotless facilities, esp. showers/toilets, praised, as are friendly owners. Campfires welcome with free pits. Mostly perfect stays, though some mention rough access track & early farm animal wake-ups.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Space to camp where you liked, safe space. Camped close to toilets. Close to Eastbourne. Location great.

Disliked stinging nettles around back on tent, children got stung. Road into venue. Signage not very visible.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a fairly peaceful stay. The facilities were clean and the grounds were well kept. Lovely views of the countryside.

Disliked We didn't see the owners once! We could have literally just turned up and nobody would know! There was a large group who, despite being lovely people and kept noise to a minimum by 10:30, they took up the whole EHU section and spread themselves across the pathway to get to the toilet/shower. My son felt really uncomfortable walking past. Perhaps the if the owners were around more this could be managed better. There is nothing to do there! My boys were bored and we needed to leave the site for most of the day.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I really liked the shower and toilet — very clean and almost like at home. Everything I needed was there. They also sent me an email explaining when to arrive and where everything was located.

Disliked What I didn’t like was that the farm itself is quite far from Eastbourne beach and once you get onto their private land, you still have to drive for a long time on a rough road — rocky and full of bumps. I also wasn’t very pleased that their rooster was crowing at night for some reason and kept me from sleeping.

Liked We had a great time staying at Gardeners farm. It was very peaceful with great views and walks. We had a mixture of sunshine and rain but didn’t stop us enjoying the beautiful countryside. We will definitely be back.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (woodland)

Liked Old school back to basics camping. Low cost. Campfires allowed on pits by woodland camping. Owner just lets you get on with it, not constantly patrolling. Don't have to buy logs like at other campsites. Facilities seemed pretty good, didn't really pay much attention as it's not a big deal to me, toilet blocks were clean though. Pound for pound, a top notch campsite.

Local attractions

Bring your binoculars and wander around Pevensey Levels National Nature Reserve (10 minutes' drive) in search of local birdlife, or pack a windbreak, some sun cream and a good book and head to Pevensey beach (20 minutes) for a day of relaxing by the waves. If something more active's in order, you might like to walk the chalk cliffs around Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters (35 minutes), or you could head a little further down the coast to try paddleboarding or other watersports at gorgeous Cuckmere Haven (40 minutes). This part of the South East has castles galore, from Bodiam (20 minutes) with its imposing moat and 14th-century towers to the handsome brick buildings at Herstmonceux (20 minutes). Hastings and Battle (25 minutes) are also close if you fancy heading out on the trail of King William the Conqueror – you can walk all or some of the way there via the 1066 Country Walk that starts right outside the site gates.
