Fontmills Farm Campsite

Facilities were cleaned regularly and sufficient for the number of campers. We were given a really generous space to ourselves. The hosts were friendly and provided us with lots of information about the local area (walks, nice pubs etc). Firepits and logs were available and proved really popular!

Actually we did not get to stay :( Because of having to isolate. The reason I am giving 5 stars is because last time we stayed we had a fantastic time (hence the second booking). Not only that but when I emailed the owners have said we can use the money next year. What a lovely thing to do. Cant wait until next year!

Such a lovely quiet campsite, very relaxed. Lots of nice walks and the cuckoo trail for cycling. Great facilities and fire pits available to keep cosy. The family who run it were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed here for a night in July with my oldest son (9) to get away and enjoy some camping without any technology! He is used to full on camping with the big tent, electric and all the mod cons, but absolutely loved it here!

Clean site, well laid out with good space between pitches - especially for social distancing during Covid. Pitches very nice and flat, and close to facilities which were very clean and regularly maintained - individual toilets, showers and washing up facilities with hot water.

The owners were great, and couldn't do enough to make sure we had a fantastic stay. The campfire was a big hit so I'm glad I paid for some wood and marshmallows from the small shop at reception on arrival! Fire pits, grills and pokers free to borrow for your stay too.

It was a very peaceful site and great to hear the animals grazing on the surrounding fields. There were lots of opportunity for walks and cycling along the Cuckoo Trail which we took full advantage of with our bikes and continued our previous cycle from Heathfield to Horam by cycling from Horam to Hailsham. It was great being able to cycle to the bottom of the farm and straight onto the trail!

Thank you! We will definitely be back!

Totally set up for social distancing, cant recommend highly enough.

The owners were really lovely and helpful, they had clearly put a lot of effort into putting pandemic-related measures in place but had also kept it quiet enough that we never needed to use any of the one-way/queue systems etc. Good, road-free access to the Cuckoo Trail, ~30 min drive to some nice and interesting coast. Mix of types of groups staying at the campsite and the facilities were good and kept clean. Campfires allowed and they sold marshmallows and firewood. Freezer freely available to put ice blocks in. Hot water from the showers and reasonable pressure.

Plenty of space around the tent, lovely setting, fabulously clean facilities, Individual toilets and showers (perfect for COVID), helpful hosts, log fires.

Was looking for a site that was close to the Cuckoo trail to ride our bikes, had open space for the kids to run around and most importantly allowed camp fires. This site ticked all those boxes. Nicola greeted us on arrival and showed us around while Steve conducted regular visits making sure that everything was ok and topped up wood for fires. The washing up area and toilets were clean and the showers were hot. Although it was quite full, there was plenty of space around our tent and no queues to use the facilities. We had to leave our car in the car park once we had unpacked, which we had never done before whilst camping, but it was within sight and actually meant we had more space for the tent. The unlimited space meant we took a gazebo to extend out living space. This site has the added bonus of backing directly onto the Cuckoo trail so we were able to ride our bikes straight onto it and experience this 14 mile route (only managed 8!). All in all, it felt safe, secure, friendly and clean. This is definitely one we will visit again.

2nd time we visited this spot. We love the feel of the site and the owners are super friendly. The facilities are very very clean. Loved our time by the campfire.

Not a lot of shade provided by the few trees on the campsite. So on a hot day you might need extra cover. This won’t stop us from visiting next year but just a heads up.
