Beech Estate Campsite

A aimé : The best places to camp in the wild nature!!! Tent pitches are perfectly adapted to fit into the surrounding forest. There is a separate forest path to each tent pitch, which ensures that your tent site will give you peace and quiet and you can fully enjoy the surrounding forest nature. There is a secured place for a bonfire, compost toilets are perfectly clean and well-kept, a great idea with shower buckets. Beautiful paths through the forest. Joe and Hugh were incredibly helpful during my stay at this campsite, for which I am extremely grateful. It's so beautiful there, everything is so well-kept, surrounded by nature, birds singing, peace and quiet, that I can't wait to go back there.

N'a pas aimé: That I had to leave this wonderful place and go back to work ;) ;)

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind words and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, your photos are wonderful too! Come back and see us soon.

A aimé : We loved being off grid and getting back to basic. Letting the children enjoy being in nature. The sounds of the birds in the morning and the open fires in the evening make it more fun!

N'a pas aimé: Nothing!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review! We are so glad that you had a fabulous stay and got back to nature - just what we hope all our guests do. And our bucket showers are a favourite among many!! We hope you come back to stay again soon. Thank you!

A aimé : The bed in the bell tents are really comfortable and we had a great sleep. The campsite is very peaceful and quiet, you can’t really hear other people on their site. A lot of land to go for a walk and explore. All important utensils are provided, pans, plates, cups, cutlery etc. Washing up bowl, sponge and liquid provided. Hot shower and easy to use the bucket system. Choice of compost toilet or normal.

Réponse du gestionnaire : So glad you enjoyed your stay in one of our Wild Glamping Bell Tents at Beech Estate. It sounds like you really embraced all that our glamping offers in the peacefulness of the Sussex countryside, particularly our fabulous bucket showers! Hope we see you again soon. Thank you

A aimé : We liked the set up at Beech Estate. The communication was friendly and clear and efficient. We liked the distance between pitches. It was lovely to have a fire pit and our tent pitched in our own little clearing. We booked a Faraway Camping Tent Pitch and did ferrying our equipment with the wheelbarrows provided in 3 barrow loads. The car was left in the car park and we felt it was out of the way but near enough to be safe overnight. We used one bag of kindling and two bags of firewood to keep a fire going for 4 hours. Fire Grills were extra to hire so we just used small grill from our gaz burner close to the fire to keep the kettle boiling on the fire. We did not get any ticks on us at all! The camp wardens were friendly and helpful. The site was peaceful and we had a good nights sleep. We enjoyed walks on the diversely planted and well managed estate. We liked being able to separate our rubbish into recycling and general waste and glass and just took home our compostable rubbish. We saw baby bunnies, buzzards and fed the robins breakfast watching the sunrise! Beautiful Blissy experience. Thank you.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review! We're really pleased you enjoyed the stay and glad you spotted some lovely wildlife during your visit! We hope to see you again soon.

A aimé : The staff were absolutely amazing. Always took the time to stop and speak to my 2 year old son. Nothing was too much trouble. The bell tent and pitch was amazing. Away from everything. We had woodland walks looking for animals, built a den, watched the stars and had such an amazing time. My son who hates showers even loved the rustic bucket showers :) we loved it so much we added another night!! We will definitely be booking for next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing. All was brilliant thank you 👍

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for your lovely review! It's so lovely to read about your experience and we're really happy you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you'll need to build a bucket shower at home! We hope to see you again soon.

A aimé : Location, no cars next to pitches, open fires, fire grill available, forest pitch, large wheelbarrows to transport gear, clean toilets, very friendly and helpful staff. Very happy with the pitch I was given - secluded.

N'a pas aimé: No logs/tree stumps to use as seating around the camp fire. My pitch was at the end of path/pitch area so nicely secluded, but would’ve not enjoyed as much if had been assigned to some of pitches that I had to pass enroute to my pitch as they were quite open and not secluded. Some guests didn’t observe the noise/music curfew.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. We're really happy to hear you enjoyed your pitch and the campsite. The majority of our pitches are quite secluded though we have some more open pitches that are generally used for groups. We'll always do our best to allocate a secluded spot if this is requested so it's worth mentioning this if you book with us again, we'd love to see you return.

A aimé : Staff is friendly and ready to help, the camping site has good toilets, showers are available, good trails on site great for short-medium walks.

N'a pas aimé: Having activities on site would be good, also 0 phone signal

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. We're saddened that you wouldn't recommend us due to the phone signal and lack of activities. We run a back to basics, wild campsite that isn't always for everyone. We deliberately avoid activities and playgrounds as we have 600 acres of woodland to explore and play in. We also try not to have lots of people and children congregating in one area as this tends to create a lot of noise, which goes against the quiet, back to nature site that we promote. We do have some phone signal on site, though it is limited. We operate an off grid campsite and promote a chance to disconnect and have a digital detox. Our wardens can always tell you the best spots to get signal and also have a usable phone in case of emergencies. We're glad to hear you enjoy your stay regardless and would visit us again.

A aimé : We loved everything about the site. It provided the privacy and allowed for uninterupted family time. The service and facilities at the site are fantastic compare to some of the sites we visited and whats best, they are all environmentally friendly. The wardens are friendly and helpful and you can purchase lots of essentials at the site. If they dont have it, they will direct you to the nearest place. The pitches and the site in general is well maitained yet you stoll get rustic woodland camping experience. We have fallen in love with the site and will be coming back next year.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing really but you need to be prepared for some hard core cardio when leaving as the car park can be bit fat away, depending on the location of your pitch, and you need to make your way upwards with wheelbarrow full of belongings :-). Settling up is not an issue as you going downhill towards the pitches so gravity will help but packing up can be a very different story. We still love it thou!!!
