A brilliant off grid experience. The best ever, odour free compost toilets. Outdoor washing cubicles. The campervan pitch is rather tight but flat and is the only pitch without a fire pit. The tent pitches are spacious and surrounded by meadow. Plenty of butterflies in August. Great private path up the hill to a stunning 365 degree view. The owner is very helpful and accommodating. The only downsides are the price and noise from the main road. At £20 per person and £5 a dog it is expensive but unique.

Beki is a wonderful person and this space is utterly breathtaking. Amazing location for walking routes. Campsite amenities (compost toilets) are a great addition. The huts are just spectacular with views that are stunning throughout the day and night. Talk of meditation retreats are really interesting and I would definitely come back for things like this. The whole space feels full of good energy. Highly recommended to all.

I stayed here while walking the South Downs Way east to west. It is by far and away the most beautiful campsite I have ever stayed at, and the owner was so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Pitches are huge and pretty much private, divided by long grass. Incredible views over the Downs, with fire pits and outdoor furniture. Would camp again.

Chantry Farm is a beautiful eco-campsite located near London and just a short drive from Brighton city. The site's owner is deeply committed to the surrounding nature, community, and environment. The camp pitches are nicely separated by grass verges, offering privacy and tranquillity. We meditate and practice yoga whenever we visit the site, as it is always peaceful. I have visited the site with my family multiple times, and all the amenities are consistently clean, well-equipped, and well-maintained. The owner recently introduced a herbal steam session using wild plants and flowers from the site, which was a fantastic experience. This session helped clear up my congested chest, and I highly recommend it! The site also has a beautiful hiking trail adjacent to it. I have camped here during different times of the year, and each time the experience has been enjoyable. This is not your average campsite but one that is well thought out and committed to green and sustainable camping practices—quite rare to find!

A wonderful place! I booked for one night and ended up staying for three :) I stayed in the new Skyline Cabin and can't recommend it enough! It's a beautiful space, very cosy and very private, lovely on both a rainy day and a sunny one. The bed is very comfy and it's very well equipped. There's lovely fire pit outside and a hand delivered outside bath for a cold dip if that takes your fancy! The compost loos and rooms for hot bucket washes are great. Lovely wanders right from the doorstep. And so full of nature, lots of beautiful butterflies! Beki the owner is lovely and extremely friendly and helpful e.g. suggesting local walks, places for food, helping out when I ran out of toothpaste etc! It's so much more than a campsite though and visiting is a really special experience. There's a lovely energy about the place and it's a wonderful space to switch off/relax/reconnect. I also had a 1:1 meditation session Beki which was brilliant. Thank you!
