A wonderful field to camp in with a park in the middle. Staff are really nice and plenty of stuff in the shop. The fire pits are a rip-off. pay to use pit £12 pay for kindling £6.50 pay again for wood £8 1 bag lasts 1/3 hours. You get a few camping snobs up there, not wanting you to camp next to them but are easily ignored. The camp itself has great shower and toilet facilities and we felt safe in the evening.

Back from a fantastic family weekend camp. The site was very busy but because the pitches are so big, it never felt crowded. The toilet and washing up facilities were kept spotless, despite the amount of use. John and Jo run it so well and make it a joy to camp there.

Cracking camp site, the best facilities I've come across and I've stayed in many campsites across the south. Plenty of nice hot showers and toilets so you never have to wait for a shower. Very reasonably priced shop on site too. The entire site is just clean, free from litter and very well maintained. Thank you for a lovely stay.

It was £13 a night for a tent and car (no electric but you can pay more for electric). There is quite a busy road near the campsite so there is some noise from traffic throughout the evening and night but not enough to stop you sleeping. Check-out time is 2pm. There is some litter left behind on the campgrounds which I cleaned up myself on my site. The toilets & showers are open 24/7 and are pretty good and fairly clean. Shower rooms are individual and enclosed. They are probably the best showers I've seen at a campsite. Be aware of current roadworks on the A280 that may prevent access to the campsite (September 2024).

This campsite is in a great dog friendly location in the South Downs. The farm has ample pitches, a kids park and spotlessly clean toilets and washing facilities. The reception staff were very helpful and the site was really tidy. Only slight downside was that the washing up water was tepid but the staff had warned us that they were having water pressure issues. Other than that the stay was fantastic and I will definitely be returning.
