Wolstonbury Dreaming

Em va agradar The generously sized camping pitches were well maintained, on flat ground, and had plenty of space and long grass between them to provide some privacy. Each pitch also has its own fire pit which is a nice touch.
The compostable toilets were pleasant and always clean. The outside bucket showers were a nice experience on hot summer days. Washing up liquid, sponges and towels are conveniently provided at the washing up station.
Despite the close proximity of the A23, I didn't find the road noise to be an issue. It's nothing more than a background hum that your brain soon gets used to and blanks out.
Thanks to its small size the site is nice and peaceful (even on a bank holiday weekend). The surrounding scenery is beautiful and it was the perfect base for exploring the Downs around the Brighton area. I would happily return.

Em va agradar Great location with Lovely scenery esp the View from Wolstonbury tor. Local pub The Plough Pyecombe did a good Sunday roast, this was a 45 min steep but good walk up from campsite over hill and down dale; and 20 mins walk on the road back. Excellent bore water , clean toilet facilities, basic bucket shower under the trees.

No em va agradar Road access could be tricky / not suitable for some vehicles as it’s steep gravel. The road noise is unfortunately so loud and irritatingly constant I wore earplugs all night. Also the site is underneath the 3:30 - 5:30 am long-haul large plane Gatwick flight path .

Del gerent: Well, a 5/10 review talking about being under a Gatwick flight path at 3.30am is a first in 15 years.
as is calling the walk to or from the Plough “45 mins steep”.
Yes there is road noise but as for that description of a flight path.. could that have been a dream?

5/10 reviews can kill a small business, and it follows a previous 7/10 review (with a customer who didn’t pay their full bill - I offered a discount as could tell she was mildly unhappy) so what to say after 15 years of so many happy customers.. I can’t change the road noise but it’s not according to most people, a ‘tank the review average issue’

Only recently joined this OTA and it does feel like customer experience is less grounded in our shared values .. and the wish to support small businesses - maybe there’s something about expectations and values with booking via PitchUp - which is of course a corporate intervention to make it super easy for customers and like booking.com, take the cut from the small businesses .. in the small business world it’s tricky to navigate - as opposed to people who find us by other means (local adverts for example)- so maybe it’s not the right platform for us.

This is a small place with limited visitor capacity, so we might do better to work on limiting our reach to customers we can, on balance, really share our values with and have them resonate. Thanks for the pointer Felicity.

Em va agradar From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

What really stood out was their commitment to sustainability—the campsite is beautifully eco-friendly, with recycling stations, and a strong emphasis on leaving minimal impact on the environment. It felt great to stay somewhere that aligns with my values.

Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, this campsite offers the perfect balance of tranquility, sustainability, and accessibility. I’ll definitely be back!

Em va agradar A wonderful, small campsite with large individual pitches mown into the long grass (massive for my tiny tent!). The pitches are in a row so don't feel at all crowded and instead the view from the pitch is across the field, up the hill, with a few sheep hanging around.

The owner was very friendly and around for a chat. Cars are parked in a small parking area, not at the pitches, which I prefer. It's only a 1 minute walk and wheel barrows are provided if needed. The location was perfect for me, in the downs but easy to get into Brighton.

No em va agradar The only downside was the noise from the A23, but that's inevitable given the location and not a big problem.

Em va agradar Spacious campsite with extensive views of South Downs and dog can be off-lead. Clean facilities provided with plush towels. Right by the Wolstonbury Hill walking path with scenic views. Each site has ample space with picnic table and chairs provided with an area for you to set campfire or bbq. Very friendly owner. We had a great time and so did our dog, we hope to return again.
