  • Quiet West Sussex wild camping site near the village of East Dean
  • A 15-minute drive to main Goodwood Estate; Chichester 25 minutes
  • In the South Downs National Park, with access to South Downs Way
Setting off for strolls in the South Downs National Park is splendidly easy from Newhouse Farm Wild Camping. This quiet off-grid site is part of the Goodwood Estate, and it has footpaths running directly from the farm to the South Downs Way and other parts of the network of trails that run through this scenic part of the world. The farm makes a lovely place for a peaceful rural break in the West Sussex countryside, with pitches spread around the perimeter of a large field that's got plenty of space in the middle for chilling out or playing games. There are gorgeous views of the national park landscapes all around, and clusters of trees on site giving a home to local wildlife. It's a wild camping-style setup here, but you’ll have access to toilets (although please note no showers or hot water). Dogs and kids are welcome, and campfires and barbecues are permitted to help you cook and keep warm by night. And you may well need that warmth, as you’re likely to want to sit out for as long as possible, looking up at the starry displays in this International Dark Sky Reserve. The main Goodwood site is about 10 to 15 minutes' drive away, so this is a handy place to stay if you're heading to an event there. Closer to home is the village of East Dean, just under two miles away, which has a good food pub.

Jon M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Beautiful site tucked away at the end of a valley in the South Downs. Large meadow with trees on 3 sides and stunning views back down the valley on the 4th. Pitch where you like. Clean portaloos and a drinking water tank. Rachel could not have been more welcoming but otherwise leaves you to do your own thing.

Disliked: Some bins on the site itself (rather than at the end of the v long access track) would be helpful for those travelling light. Somewhere to wash up would be even better but I am assuming v difficult with no mains water. You can’t have it all!

Liked: Lovely to see the farm open again! Great views, great vibe & nice to see a water tap in the field instead of 1/4 mile away! ;). Always a nice place to visit & the new owners are lovely!

Disliked: Couldn't pitch in our 'favourite spot' but not a biggy

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Loved the scenery. It was absolutely magical. You had woodlands enclosing the whole area and felt like I was truly away from the bustling city and in the heart of nature! The little village just at the bottom of the site was to so beautiful. We stopped off at the pub of course. Rachel was superb. We crossed paths with her on our walk and she was so welcoming, friendly and a gem to speak to. Her service was top notch. Me and my friends will definitely be returning!

Disliked: I wasn't there longer!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely host (Rachel), beautiful, quiet location. Massive pitches, and fire pits were allowed which was great. Good 4g signal in the field. We had no near neighbours as there were only about 7 vans on the large field. Portaloos were basic but clean.

Disliked: Grass was quite long, not really a problem but it made it difficult to find a level pitch so it will be good to come back once the pitches are topped.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Peaceful, relaxing, quiet, just what we needed. Fantastic views across the valley. Beautiful sunset Will definately book again. It is remote, only porta loos and a water standpipe and a field but that’s what we love Miles away from anything - walk to the local pub would be an ordeal back as up a very steep hill You can buy a bag of logs at Woods sawmill before the farm yard at £3.50 a bag but you will need cash and a fire pit

Disliked: The road in is very uneven but it is an unmade track and expected
