Ditchling Camping

Gostou: Loved the well kept grounds, we played football and rounders day and night outside of our tent. The top camping area has wonderful views of the South Downs. The location is great in terms of proximity to the local pubs and shops. Fire pits and logs available on site which was hassle free. Our family came to meet us for a last minute stay and was able to call up and sort this very easily with the helpful owner. The showers were brilliant! They were warm with plenty of space and a mirror outside - a cool festival feel. You can see compostable toilets are in the process of being built which will be great. Thank you!

Não gostou: For us the location to the road was a little busier than we had hoped for but we all slept fine. The one porter loo.

Do gerente: Thanks for the lovely comments... We do our best to keep the site looking healthy and full of nature..... Hopefully see you again soon

Gostou: It's a lovely setting. I woke up on my first morning to a beautiful view of the rising sun on the Downs. When i was there it was very quiet and there was plenty of space and all the other campers seemed very considerate. It was very easy and very good value for money. It's good that you can hire a firebowl and firewood.

Não gostou: It's a very basic site, which probably helps it not get too busy? The portaloo was very clean but there was no hand soap in the dispenser. The portaloo was also on a slope, which left you with a rather disconcerting feeling on the loo that the whole thing was about to tip over backwards (it didn't, of course). This also meant that the blue liquid you flush with was trying to flush solids uphill against gravity, which doesn't work very well.

Do gerente: It was lovely to Host you. It is a lovely spot with magnificent views towards the South Downs and a 30 second walk to the Village to enjoy A pub lunch... Hopefully see you all again..

Gostou: Great location for walking and cycling into the South Downs and great to have a good selection of pubs within a few minutes walk. Very peaceful campsite with the pitches very well sheltered from the high winds over the weekend.

Não gostou: Portaloo’s weren’t very functional and with only 2 onsite I could imagine this being more of an issue if the campsite had been busier as luckily it was very quiet. There also didn’t seem to be any hot water for the showers which may have been because they were almost inaccessible due to the high winds.

Do gerente: Hi Guys, Glad that you enjoyed your stay and ventured to the local pubs and possibly went for a walk or cycle.... I apologise about the portaloo's - due to the rain and high winds I overlooked checking them when dropping them onto the site. Unfortunately there wasn't enough water in the tank to start them flushing properly. All understood now and will be checked properly in the future and water added if needed. And also the showers. The high winds on Friday late afternoon blew the protection off which broke and could not be put back in place immediately. This meant that the hot showers could NOT be turned on as rain would get into the mechanism. All fixed now and up and running... Hopefully see you again soon.

Gostou: Nice campsite - basic but very pleasant, walking distance to ditchling village centre and pubs. One shower was abit temperamental (temp wise) but wasnt a problem as we just used the other one. Owner was very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Overall a lovely 2 day stay with family and friends.

Não gostou: being close to a road which i wasn't aware of upon booking but it wasn't a super busy road so didn't pose much of a problem during our stay.

Do gerente: Really nice to meet you all - I apologise about the shower - Being resolved as I type. Ditchling is a lovely village, with two pubs doing great food....

Gostou: Great location, we had a lovely wander around Ditchling and Hassocks on Saturday before catching the train to Brighton for a few hours. We got a takeaway in Hassocks on the way back and took it back to the campsite. The facilities and communication was great. The other campers were friendly. We had a lovely weekend and would definitely return.

Gostou: Lovely location, short walk to shops and cafe and Ditchlimg village. Bonus to be able drive to pitch, portaloos we’re fine z

Não gostou: Shame no where to dispose of rubbish

Do gerente: She certainly is in a beautiful location, with the pubs, cafe's and other shops just a stones throw, whilst also having the sense of total isolation when on the site. We considered having rubbish bins, but decided that they would not be environmentally friendly as it only takes one camper to mix up the rubbish (recyclables, bottles, cans, food waste and others) to make all of the rubbish not recyclable... Its a shame, but true.

Gostou: Everything as described!
