  • 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.

Local attractions

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). Should you hit a rainy day, take a tour and enjoy tastings at 360° Brewing Co + Taproom (five minutes), or enrol the kids on pottery-making courses at Pots of Love (15 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.
