  • Working farm site in a valley on the South Downs Way
  • In the South Downs National Park, a 20-minute drive from Chichester
  • Café at the entrance to the farm; campfires allowed on site
Soak up the valley views and get in some real quality time at Littleton Farm Campsite, a rural working farm site in the South Downs National Park. Based in a spacious valley that's home to fallow deer, roe deer and hares, this wildlife haven is 100 metres from the South Downs Way cycle path, making it a well-placed base for discovering the chalk downlands and sloping valleys around the national park. Treat your tummy to some TLC at the on-site café at the farm’s entrance – it serves up barista coffee and a nice selection of cakes and pastries for a tasty breakfast or to top up your energy reserves throughout the day. And if you want to fill your pockets with snacks to eat throughout the day, there's a village shop 10 minutes’ drive away. Building up an appetite for all this should be straightforward, as you can head out for hikes and mountain bike rides straight from the site. Plus, the site is family-friendly so the kids can tag along on the nearby countryside trails too. Facilities back at base include portable toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area.You may want to end the day with a campfire and stargazing on the site (which is located in a designated dark skies reserve), or you may want to head out instead to a local pub for a chilled drink. For the former, you can buy logs, kindling and firelighters on site; for the latter there’s a 16th-century pub-restaurant five minutes’ drive away – another place to relax and tattle about the day’s tales.

Josephine A.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The freedom to pitch anywhere, the stunning views, the wildlife around us and it felt very relaxed. Great to be able to buy logs. We didn’t visit the cafe but can see it would be a good addition. Maybe next time! Good phone signal too!

Disliked Shower block is very basic, more handwashing stations would be good as the toilets are very spaced out. Nothing major though!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Yeh really enjoyed my stay and the provision of wood for a fire which I haven't done for ages. Lovely having showers and the cafe very close by for breakfast too as my cooking skills with a fire need some work.

Disliked Only thing was not allowed to leave car by tent but at least it made me walk more on check out a si just carried my things to car.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars)

Liked This is a fantastic campsite if you want beautiful scenery, basic but well maintained facilities and friendly considerate fellow campers. It is ideally located close to the South Down’s Way and Petworth.

Madeline K.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Campsite is in a beautiful valley with a calm atmosphere and lots of wildlife, it was lovely to wake up to the sound of the birds. Location is great for hikers as you can walk straight from the campsite up the downs. Good choice for families too as the kids can safely explore the whole valley. Nice community vibe when we were there, with children from different families all playing with each other and adults being friendly with other campers.

The site is dog-free in order to protect the birds and other wildlife in the area but the owner kindly allowed us to bring our elderly ferret on the condition that she'd be under control at all times and pose no risk to other animals. The ferret enjoyed herself as much as we did and didn't have to worry about dangerous dogs or cars.

Disliked I really enjoyed my stay but it wouldn't be a good choice for some people depending on your needs. If you want to keep your car next to your tent, you can't do that here. The port-a-loos were all clean and stocked with loo roll but if you want an indoor toilet you'll be disappointed.

If you want to party, this is not the campsite for you. Most fires were out by 9pm and it's very quiet so people will probably complain if you want to stay up late or listen to music. Sound echoes within the valley so you have to be mindful of babies and backpackers sleeping early.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Great back to basics experience, my 12 and 15 year old wanted to cook over an open fire and this was a perfect site to do it on. Facilities were fine for what we needed.

Disliked Would have preferred to park the car next to the tents for storage but not a big deal and actually made the site more scenic and safe.

Local attractions

Before you get to the active stuff, perhaps a drink? Tinwood Estate (10 minutes' drive) runs vineyard tours for those of you who want to tell apart your rosé from your red. It’s not hard to track down a cutesy coffee spot in Chichester (20 minutes) – after you’ve visited the cathedral and shops, of course. Now that you’re properly fed and fuelled, you might want to practise your putting skills on the golf course at Cowdray House (20 minutes). It’s a fabulous setting for polo too, based on a country estate with heritage ruins. Where else is historic around here? Petworth (10 minutes), a market town with antique shops, hits the mark. The Goodwood Estate (15 minutes), too – this estate hosts horseracing events, golf and a flying school. Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is another great spot – from here, boat trips depart to search for seals. Rather explore realistic buildings from between 950AD and the 19th century? Head to the Weald & Downland Living Museum (10 minutes' drive). West Dean Gardens (15 minutes) also has an Edwardian pergola, walks and garden courses.
