Newhouse Farm Wild Camping

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.7 230 reviews

Quiet West Sussex site near the village of East Dean
Goodwood Estate events 15 minutes’ drive; Chichester 25 minutes
In the South Downs National Park, with access to South Downs Way

Setting off for strolls in the South Downs National Park is splendidly easy from Newhouse Farm Wild Camping. This quiet and off-grid wild camping site is part of the Goodwood Estate, and it has footpaths running directly from the farm to the South Downs Way and other parts of the network of trails that run through this scenic part of the world. The farm makes a lovely place for a peaceful rural break in the West Sussex countryside, with pitches spread around the perimeter of a large field that’s got plenty of space in the middle for chilling out or playing games. There are gorgeous views of national park landscapes all around, and clusters of trees on site give a home to local wildlife. It’s a wild camping setup here, but you’ll have access to toilets (although please note no showers or hot water). Dogs and kids are welcome, and campfires and barbecues are permitted to help you cook and keep warm by night. And you may well need that warmth, as you’re likely to want to stay out as long as possible enjoying the starry displays in this International Dark Sky Reserve. The main Goodwood festival site is 15 minutes’ drive away, so this is a handy place to stay if you’re heading to an event there. Closer to home is the village of East Dean, just under two miles away, which has a good foodie pub.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: It was quiet, lovely location, great walks including a nice walk down to the pub away from the track. Nice pub too. A dog poo bin was really good to have. The toilets were ample and nice and clean, for portaloos.

Disliked: While warned about the access road the main issue with it was the lack of passing places. We had to reverse back into a space for 4 vehicles to go past which is fair enough but then also had to then have someone coming towards us reverse quite some distance so that we could pass. Considering we got there just after check in time, we didn't expect so many vehicles coming the other way.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The location is just incredible!
The host, Rachel, is the most welcoming person and is very helpful.
I love that you can have a fire at your site and can hire these if you don’t have enough space for your own.
There is nothing I dislike and I have already been twice with more trips planned.
Great site to park up at and get away from the busy world. Loads of great walks and trails so I don’t use the car once I park up.
The road up to the site is bumpy but this is a wild site so expected.
I can’t wait to try on of the new pods!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: A lovely site, surrounded by beautiful woodlands and amazing views of the rolling hills. The field is secluded and quiet, taking you away from any traffic noise.
Rachel is brilliant, and was incredibly helpful during our stay.
There is a great walking trail that starts from the campsite and takes you through the woods and out at East Dean where you’ll find a lovely pub with a large beer garden.
Recommend!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: A basic facilities (toilets & water tap) back to nature, peaceful spot with great views & wood walks. Rachel provide a hired fire pit & there's wood purchase on the road in (theTotem pole woodyard. The toilets clean & well serviced. Nice local pub ( Star & Garter) a short walk or drive away. We've been going over a few years & I noticed the new campsite signage, coded access gate, access gravel path improvements marked out pitch areas & better cut grass this year. I think Rachel has been running now only a year or two & these good changes noted. Rachel very helpful & pleasant.

Local attractions

A stay at Newhouse Farm puts you in pole position for the numerous festivals at Goodwood Estate, but the campsite is just as close to the fascinating Weald and Downland Living Museum (both 10 minutes’ drive), with its carefully restored historic farmhouses and half-timbered cottages. Chichester (25 minutes) is another cultural hotspot with a Gothic-era cathedral and events at the acclaimed Festival Theatre. Equally unmissable is the verdant West Dean Gardens (15 minutes), with its fabulous display of informal plantings, pretty waterside walks and Victorian glasshouses. There’s a stellar collection of Old Master paintings and ornate suites of rooms filled with priceless treasures at National Trust-owned Petworth House and Park, or you can step further back in time at Fishbourne Roman Palace (both 25 minutes) to see decorative mosaics in a life-size mock-up of an ancient Roman villa. If the kids want their day at the beach, choose between the sand-and-shingle expanse backed by cafés and amusement arcades at Bognor Regis or walk the dogs along the quiet sands at West Wittering (40 minutes).
