Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely open site with fire pits for each generously-sized pitches.
Quiet - no surprise in late September - but the showers and loos were still cleaned regularly.
And the hosts check in on you and make sure you've got everything you need for a good stay.
Disliked: It would have been better without some very heavy rain.

Liked: This is one of the best campsites we've ever stayed in. It's in such a beautiful quiet spot, very spacious plots, surrounded by fields, and walking distance on footpaths to pubs (the lovely gastropub the Gun in GunHill and the Six Bells in Chiddingly for drinks). Scott was there on hand to provide wood, kindling and delicious sausages for our evening campfire and Ruth kept the on-site facilities lovely and clean. It was great to have a visit from the coffee van in the morning and ice cream van in the afternoon too. Nice to visit their numerous animals in the morning.
Disliked: Nothing to complain about at all really. Only downside was weak 4G signal on the campsite, which was actually a positive since our kids got a break from their IPads, but still 3G to stay connected.

Liked: We loved everything about Hale Farm!
We had a really nice stay. All the extras were very welcome, like the fire wood (toasted marshmallows and ate smores most evenings from the campfire!). Gino arrived in his van each morning - made real coffee and we bought ice-creams 😋
The animals are a joy - we pitched close to their areas and they didn't disturb us much. We heard the donkeys each evening around 7pm as it was feeding time. The cockerel crows, but he is in the far distance. Being close to the animals was a reminder of living in the countryside; fantastic!
Visited Royal Tunbridge Wells/Bodium Castle/Science & Observatory Centre/Pevensey Bay/Brewhouse Arundel on way home - highly recommend ALL these places!

Liked: Yet another great stay at Hale Farm. This was our 4th stay, so you can tell its lovely! Amazing sausages, fresh eggs and the farm to visit in the mornings. We started of as two families, this has now doubled to 4! Facilities are super clean too.
We'll be back next year! Thanks Ruth and Scott!

Liked: This campsite was lovely for going off grid for a couple of days. The pitches are huge so you can pitch however you like without being on top of any neighbours. Every pitch has a fire pit with Scott bringing around logs and fire kits you can purchase every evening which added a lovely aspect to our camping experience. Scott was very helpful and showed us how to set up and light our campfire as it was our first time. We loved being able to go and visit the farm animals each morning.
Disliked: The only downside was the lack of signal on pitch but that’s something that comes with the territory of camping. We managed to get a little bit of signal up in the corner by the toilets.
