Views from the south downs (added by manager 25 feb 2022)

Peaceful, dog-friendly pop-up site three miles from the South Downs
A 10-minute walk to South Downs Link; 40 minutes’ drive to Brighton
Barbecues and firepits permitted; short walk to shops, pubs and cafés

If there ever was a peaceful place in the South Sussex countryside, The Slips is certainly it. As a matter of fact, this site is also in a historical location on the outskirts of Henfield, which was first occupied way back in the Stone Age. With the South Downs National Park three miles to the south, it’s no wonder this site is dog-friendly with the number of gorgeous walks around too… One of the longest of them all is the South Downs Link, which begins half a mile away (or in other words, just 10 minutes’ walk down the road). Tracing the old railway line, this track will take you past Bramber Castle, Southwater Country Park and old railway stations, depending on how you let your feet take you. First, you might want to stop off at the pub at the beginning of the trail to grab some fuel for the journey. There’s a great selection of restaurants, shops, bars and cafés further into Henfield if you’re looking to browse all your different options first. As a pop-up site, The Slips has simple facilities, including portable toilet and wifi access. You’re welcome to roll up with your own barbecue or firewood too; it's easy to stock your grill with bits from the food shop in the village.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Nice location

Disliked: Only 2 portaloos for 2 fields of campers is totally unacceptable and unusable by the morning we left a day early Also the EHU points were so close together and pitches weren’t allocated so we had no space with people pitching very close to us after we’d arrived

Disliked: Met een dixy is niets mis mee maar leeg hem wat eerder. Dan voorkom je veel vliegen.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful peaceful site. My dog was fascinated with the horses in the next field plus my daughter has decided to take up horse riding again which I'm so pleased about ! Anyway felt very secure high Street very close by . Budgens do a good bbq range too ! Owner had text me beforehand and let me know any issues can call her. I didn't need to but was nice to know. Toilets were very clean and well stocked with toilet paper too ! Didn't have the weather to go paddle boarding but if we had its a 10 min drive to do that

Local attractions

Keen on visiting the South Downs National Park? No wonder, when there are historical sites such as the Jack And Jill Windmills (15 minutes’ drive) and the National Trust's Cissbury Ring (half an hour), as well as the National Trust’s Devil's Dyke (15 minutes) for gorgeous valley hikes with historical farms and tearooms. Brighton (40 minutes) might also take your fancy. The seafront is particularly splendid, especially with all the activities that happen down at Brighton beach and the Palace Pier. You might want to go sightseeing, starting with the Royal Pavilion, or pedal out of the city on the Undercliff Path past Brighton Marina and chalk cliffs. If you don’t get too distracted by Brighton’s aquarium or walking down The Lanes, there are more peaceful walks to be had at the Sussex Prairie Garden (five minutes) or the Woods Mill Nature Reserve - Sussex Wildlife Trust (five minutes). As for a quick look at the local history, the Henfield Museum (25 minutes’ walk) has a costume collection, old art and other historic artefacts.
