Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Perfect spot, well away from road noise and a real feeling of being in nature. Small campsite as well which reinforced that feeling. Owners super helpful and friendly. Great hikes straight from the site and a lovely pub a v short walk away.

Disliked: Log cost was a bit steep/wouldnt hurt to have another toilet.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Natuurcamping met vriendelijke beheerders die de natuur voorrang geven. Geen auto's bij de tent, jij en je camping benodigdheden wordt naar je plaats gebracht. Standaard faciliteiten, voldoende voor mensen die weinig eisen hebben. In de avond en ochtend vroeg lopen de herten op het veld, geweldig om te zien. Eekhoorns achter je in het bos, dit is een echte natuurcamping. Ik heb hier vab een fijn verblijf mogen genieten.

Disliked: Niet elke routeplanner kan het direct vinden, maar dat heeft ook wel weer zijn charme.

Camping pod

Liked: Peaceful back to nature site with clean functional shower/dry toilet/kitchen block. The owner was very helpful but left you to enjoy the site without interfering. I slept like a log for the two nights of my stay, and will certainly return for more of the same. Poor phone reception in the area which I initially thought may be an issue, but ended up adding to the overall peaceful experience.

Disliked: Nothing

Camping pod

Liked: We were very lucky to have the campsite to ourselves. The peace and quiet was just what we needed to recharge. The surrounding nature is beautiful and we spotted a lot of wildlife. A great place for walking. The facilities were great and the pod was cosy and comfortable. We felt very welcomed and will be looking to book another stay soon.

Falcon shepherd's hut

Liked: A very chilled campsite with beautiful surroundings. We stayed in the hut which was very cosy and kept us warm even in a cold night. Amy was very warm and welcoming. We bought a full English breakfast hamper, which was generous and contained delicious item.We had a great stay. Not just five stars because the hut was slightly angled (which they said they will look into) and the fire alarm went off for no reason in the middle of the night in our first night. We felt though that the pictures didn’t do the falcon’s hut justice. It was much better.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Really lovely campsite surrounded by nature, pretty woods and nice walks. Very friendly staff. You have to park a 5 min walk away but they dropped us off with all our stuff in a buggy and picked us up. We underestimated the cold and left a night early and the staff we spoke to were really nice and even offered us a duvet.

Liked: Location, quiet, small area, perfect for our travelling. Fire pit.

Disliked: No hot water when we returned from a very wet all day trail run. Or the following day to wash up.

Local attractions

Country capers of all descriptions can be had around here, from golf at Crowborough Beacon Golf Club (10 minutes' drive) to fishing and cycling at Bewl Water (40 minutes). Those of you handy with a rod and reel can also try out night fishing in nearby Scaland Wood (10 minutes) – there's much to be said for returning to stroll through the forest when you've got the light to appreciate it, too. Craving something more urban and bohemian? Stop in Brighton (45 minutes) for window-shopping, veggie food and artsy stalls in North Laine or just some beachfront promenading. Though overshadowed by its bigger cousin on the coast, Lewes (30 minutes) also has a lot going for it: Sussex's county town has a splendid Norman castle, views over surrounding chalk cliffs and brims with ace independent shops. Tiddlers in your travel tribe, meanwhile, can kid around at Phileas Fogg's World of Adventures (40 minutes), swing through the trees at Branching Out Adventures (20 minutes) or be taken for smoky steam-powered rides on the Bluebell Railway (20 minutes).
