Oakfields Camping

This part of West Sussex is a lovely locale and is crammed with things to see and do, such as the county's stately homes and historic houses, busy market towns, old and pretty villages, and – natch – the splendid Sussex seaside. The 260-square-mile stretch of chalk hills that make up South Downs National Park are only a mile from Oakfields Camping. Many a hike is to be had here, including along the local stretch of the South Downs Way from Billingshurst, east to Eastbourne or west to Winchester, and the coastal walks around the white cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head. Family adventures at Fishers Farm Park are easily accessible from the site for family members of all ages; at nearby Horsham, take the crew to stalk each other through the violet labyrinth of the local paintball centre, or to the 90 acres of Chesworth Farm. Also nearby is Petworth Park, a National Trust mansion with arty works by the likes of Turner and Blake, and a 700-acre landscaped park with the biggest herd of fallow deer in England.
