The Meadow unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Lovely peaceful location, not crowded with lots of space around the pitches. Plenty of walks from the site and easy to get to walks over the South Downs. Facilities were basic but as this is an off grid site that was expected.

The Clearing unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: We loved the remote location, we heard and saw so many birds it was wonderful! Very eco friendly with a back to basics feel. We stayed in the clearing which only has 7 pitches and so it felt like we had loads of space and privacy. We loved our stay and plan to come back in the warmer months.
Disliked: No dislikes - there was no hot water for washing up but we didn't mind.

The Meadow unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Little piece of bliss … a hidden oasis of peace, birdsong, ponies and ancient surrounding woodland.
Jason the owner is a very interesting and knowledge guy, very welcoming & clearly passionate about this eco style of camping … so refreshing to meet someone in it for all the right reasons.
Very reasonable price for a large pitch and the surroundings that go with it. The first day there were 8 of us and still tons of space between. I was lucky enough to have the whole meadow to myself the second day with just the ponies and wildlife for company..
Total nature reset, much needed. Oh and the morning outside hot shower was lush! Thank you so much Jason for an awesome couple of days 😊 🙏
Disliked: Absolutely nothing !

Liked: We liked that the campsite is a quiet green site ideal for a weekend with a variety of places to pitch from the woodland where you see beautiful bluebells or the fields with the option to have firepits for evening enjoyment, also the owner is very welcoming and helpful if you have any questions, I would definitely recommend

The Clearing unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: What a glorious site this is. Absolutely in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by birdsong, even an owl last night and a woodpecker this morning. Jason really helpful and provided some wood so we could enjoy a wonderful firepit last night. Stargazing a real treat. There’s a picnic table on each pitch. Facilities simple, in line with the type of campsite. Compost loos and a shower and a sink for washing up. Stayed with a friend in his camper and we were able to park next to each other and set up camp. Loved it, and will be back.
