Sunnyside Pop-up Camping

A aimé All of it was really well put together, and I think there's something here for all types of campers. There's four fields, so if you want remote 'wild' feel camping, you can get that there. Then the community feel of the first field is unlike any sites I've been to; Heath an Kat were so welcoming, friendly and down to earth, and we're involved in everything going on around the central camp where they themselves pitch up in their campervan. Lovely woods and trails for walking surrounding the area. Facilities are pretty great too, had a lovely sauna with my 7 year old who has never previously been allowed in any, there's bits for the kids to do with a little wooded area round the central camp and rope ladders, hammock swing etc. It's my little boys new favourite camp site!

N'a pas aimé Composting toilets are a thing I am yet to get used to, but goes with the raw, back to nature feel of it all. Slightly bumpy and uneven pitches, but you can find flat spots.

A aimé Love this place. A very warm welcome from Heath and Katya. Plenty of space to pitch and spread out. A sauna and friendly campfire to gather around in the evenings.
Love how wild and nature friendly it is. Ladybirds galore and Gary the giant grasshopper on my tent in the morning.

N'a pas aimé Tricky to find. Will use What 3 words next time.

A aimé We had such a lovely stay here - the campsite was easily accessible by car, had plenty of space and a view across the fields, the couple running it were so friendly and you can buy wood and rent a campfire. We didn't use the sauna in the end because the weather was so warm but it looked great. Excited to come and stay again!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks so much for your lovely review, Perhaps next time you will get a chance to use the sauna.

A aimé The warm welcome from Heath and Kat. The laid back vibe. The friendly connection between families. The sauna. A shower that’s on until you switch it off (not an annoying push button thing). A well maintained toilet, and the dough twist bread making on Saturday night for all the kids. Simple, beautiful, done well by a couple determined to provide an experience you’ll remember.

N'a pas aimé Nothing.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for writing such a lovely review. we loved running the bread activity for the kids. That was our first time doing it for customers. We are really glad it went well and will definitely do that again!

A aimé This is a very special place. The campsite is very well run, the owners are on site with you and couldn't be more excellent. So welcoming, so warm and engaged with everyone who comes to stay. We loved it here and will be back!

A aimé Hosts were super friendly and helpful, great rope and nest swings, lovely site with loads of space. Beautiful shower. Clean and excellent composting loos. Very handy washing up zone. All in all a well made campsite. There are several fields - don’t stop at the top, if you want remote there is loads of space down the hill (wish we had anticipated the music and gone there!).

N'a pas aimé For a family site it was very noisy both evenings with pumping music from some of the guests very late into the night, which didn’t help little ones trying to sleep. I was surprised that the owners didn’t call time for everyone else on the campsite.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks very much for taking the time to write this for us, and we are so glad you like what we are doing here. I am very sorry you didn't get a good nights sleep.
I didn't have to look it up to know that you were there for the Midsummer weekend, as we too heard the noise.

You were quite right to feel surprised that we didn't call time on the music. One of the reasons we camp onsite with our customers is to be there at hand to manage these kind of situations.
As it happens, we did go for a walk around the site that weekend, steeling ourselves to tell someone to leave there and then, only to discover that the music was not coming from our site. In fact on Sunday we discovered from our neighbours that it was the talk of East Grinstead, as the music was coming from some rave party from the reservoir: Miles away from us!
We do love having music on site, there are not many sites that do, and we want to be one of them. But we have a well observed 11pm curfew, which we do help manage the best we can.
We do only allow music or groups that want to chat around the fire late in top field which is only one of our 4 fields. So you are quite right in that if you want more solitude and quiet you can normally find it on the other three fields. Unfortunate that weekend it would not have helped as the music carried across our whole site and in fact the whole of the neighbourhood!

We do hope this unfortunate event did not put you off visiting us again and we hope to welcome you to Sunnyside again in the future.
