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

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!

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.

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

Liked: Fabulous little no frills site, perfect for self sufficient motorhomes and campervans. Firepits are allowed, dogs are welcome. Rachel the new manager is super friendly, and accommodating with great communication. Will be going back frequently.
Disliked: Drive up to the site was a bit rough on our 21 year old motorhome so had to take it super slow. For some reason they’ve fenced off access to the woods which are legally free to wonder in, seems a tad mean, but i suppose it’s because it’s owned by Goodwood. Could easily have put a gate in, as there’s always been a gate there previously.

From the manager: Hi David, It was such a pleasure to welcome you back and I am so pleased you all had a lovely stay. I really enjoyed hearing the wonderful adventures you have had at Newhouse Farm over the years. With regards to access to the ancient woodland, although part of the Goodwood Estate, this woodland is managed wholly by the Forestry Commission and access is therefore prohibited for your safety. You may have seen that some of the Ash trees are looking a little unhappy due to Ash Dieback. These trees along the permissive pathways are under the care of forestry maintenance but where possible, the trees affected by Ash Dieback that are not on the permissive pathways, are left as standing dead wood as they make a fantastic habitat for all sorts of wildlife. There are permissive footpaths all across Newhouse Farm, which will take you through to permitted areas of the woods. I am really looking forward to seeing you again. All the best, Rachel :)
I love this campsite. Such a huge space with wonderful views

Liked: Remote location with fantastic night sky(no light pollution). Rachael was absolutely a fantastic host, dropped off fire pit and wood. On-site portaloos were in good clean order with air fresheners and hand gel, nice touch. Easy access to South Downs path and only a short walk into village and the pub, the Star and Garter where a very warm welcome, good beer awaited.
