My two friends and I had a wonderful 3 day stay at Earth Camp. Will was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the additional touches such as laminated maps with directions to the pub, fire pits to borrow for free and we enjoyed making use of the coffee van at the weekend, pizza on Saturday night, the sauna and yoga. The site felt overcrowded on our last night as a large group pitched their tents directly in front of our obscuring our beautiful view. The showers were great and the compost loos were kept in immaculate condition. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Thanks for an amazing weekend! This was a lovely place to spend a few nights. The hosts were fantastic, super friendly and have really tried to make a cozy and unique atmosphere for their guests. There were plenty of surrounding woodlands and fields to explore with our dog and amazing views from the top of the hill, including beautiful stars at night. Highly recommended!!

The open site is on a sloped field but you can find a nice flat spot away from others. The vibe is very peaceful. The amenities are great with automatic lights for wash up and the showers were attended to fixed as soon as they had an issue. Will couldn't be more helpful and made the stay fantastic. It's a very charming farm location. If you like a bit of serene, green Sussex and clear sky for stargazing it comes recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Earth Camp last weekend. We stayed in a pre-erected bell tent as our camper had last minute mechanical issues. Will and Rachel were very accommodating and happy to arrange this for us last minute. The site was beautiful with excellent amenities, onsite food vans and a sauna which our party massively enjoyed. Rachel provided amazing treatments that I would highly recommend. Rachel and Will provided excellent service throughout our stay, and are warm, friendly and kind. Would love to come back.

Very basic site. It's a field with some sinks, Gross toilets and a shower block. I did not use the showers as the line was too long. You have to take your own rubbish home and after spending the price of a nice AB&B for a tent with a basic mattress I would use an AB&B and get a good nights sleep.
