I love the peace and quiet on this spacious camping field, and have stayed a few times in my camper for an escape from the busy Brighton life. I love that it's a couple of quiet fields and that caravans, tents and campers are spread out with plenty of space in between and the ability to have a camp fire in your own space! It's basically facilities, just toilets and a washing up station, and no showers, so this probably keeps it's rustic feel and from being too busy. The regulars are happy with it this way! The farm owner Michael is a very interesting man who has grown up here, and he's set up a small and interesting museum room with artefacts and history from Ditchling.

Amazing secret with outstanding play area for little ones. The animals are full of life with educational prompts and fun games. Highly recommend and will be visiting multiple times over the years.

Love it here, kids love it, even in the drissle. That being said, there is no shelter/area dry at all, so its a ry/light rain day. Only reason I gave 4 stars, is you can't have a picnic apart form right next to the car park. Cute animals, cute play area, lovely nature day.

A quiet, basic campsite with a nature reserve next door. Half an hour from Brighton, in the village of Ditchling (2 pubs) No showers, but 3 loos and drinking water, campfires allowed.
