  • Peaceful family-friendly site set in ancient West Sussex woodland
  • Sheffield Park five minutes’ drive; Millennium Seed Bank 20 minutes
  • Firepits available; solar-powered showers; well-behaved dogs welcome
Tucked into the South Downs in the middle of West Sussex, Kitts Campsite is peaceful and family friendly, offering three camping meadows surrounded by 100s of acres of woodland (well-behaved dogs will enjoy accompanying you on walks through the trees) in the spectacular High Weald National Landscape. Explore the gorgeous Downs with a ride on the Bluebell Railway from Sheffield Park Station, or take time to explore the glorious lakeside gardens and historic estate at Grade 1-listed Sheffield Park (both five minutes’ drive away). The shops and restaurants of Haywards Heath are 10 minutes’ drive away, and the lovely gardens and lakeside walks of Sheffield Park are five minutes away by car. Alternatively, head for the country pub about 10 minutes’ walk away through the ancient woodland. This may be a back-to-basics site, but there are enough facilities to keep everyone cheerful – the Sussex-timber field barn has flushing toilets, solar-powered showers and an undercover washing-up area. Every pitch has a firepit and there’s a wood-delivery service every evening.

What customers say

Spacious sites & chilled vibes, a great mix of campers. Pizza/coffee trucks a hit, plus fire pits & good loos. Beautiful walks nearby, with a decent pub. Facilities clean, though sometimes far. Occasional plane noise.

Phoenix W.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We liked the relaxed, quiet environment which felt very welcoming on arrival... We were greeted by friendly staff who pointed out the best spot for us to pitch up... The shower blocks were well-maintained, and the hot shower was much appreciated!...

Disliked The signage on approach we feel isn't very neuro~sparklie friendlie and easily missed, possibly a solar powered light or bigger signage would solve this though...

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great campsite a short drive (20 min) from Haywards Heath for supplies

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Welcome on arrival, plenty of pitch space, beautiful, quiet surroundings, clean facilities & fire pit provided for every pitch. The Sloop Inn is a short walk away and was an excellent place to go for Harvey’s on tap and a delicious dinner.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loads of space so we had our own area. Loved the fire pit and just the general countryside setting.

Disliked Showers/toilets were a very long way from where we stayed.

There is more stunning parkland at Borde Hill Garden (15 minutes), and you can visit the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst (20 minutes' drive) as well as explore 500 acres planted with shrubs and trees from across the globe. If you fancy a day by the sea, Brighton and Eastbourne are both about 45 minutes’ drive away; you might also like to check out the dramatic sea cliffs at Birling Gap (50 minutes), or sample fish and chips on Worthing Pier (45 minutes).

If more energetic wet-weather pursuits are required, a visit to Fun Abounds Trampoline and Gymnastics Centre (20 minutes) should ensure that everyone ends up happily worn out.
