  • Dog-friendly wild camping site surrounded by woodlands in West Sussex
  • A 20-minute drive from Leith Hill and 35 minutes from the South Downs
  • Three pubs, food shop and butcher a short walk away; barbecues allowed
All about wild camping and the outdoors, the stroke of nature runs rather deep at Sands Farm Weekend Camping surrounded by green woodlands and the West Sussex countryside. The dog-friendly site just outside Warnham is 35 minutes’ drive away from the South Downs National Park and geared up for an off-grid, wild-styled stay in a remote field. There aren’t too many distractions around this site, unless you’re counting the footpaths and bridleways close by, including a couple directly accessible from the site. The local village 20 minutes’ walk away may also play a part in reeling you in, as it has a dainty church, small food shop, three pubs (two serving food all day) and a butchers to help you get the goods ready for a barbecue back on site. You’ll have a nice amount of privacy for your barbecue, as each pitch has its own mown patch in the long grass. The facilities on site are kept simple for an authentic wild camping break, so this means you’ll have access to portable toilets and running water at all times – but there’s no chemical waste disposal or electric here. While you already have a typical English village close by, you may want to chase down any missing essentials from your luggage in Horsham, a larger market town 10 minutes’ drive away, or the supermarket 10 minutes down the road.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We loved the quiet setting and how spacious and flat the pitches are. The woodland is beautiful for walking to the village and pub.
Lovely to have a fire pit camp fire in the evening.
The portaloos were super clean and the owner was friendly and welcoming.

Disliked: A shower block would make this the perfect camp site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Loved the vibes of the site. Lovely staff, everyone was chill, there was enough space between to feel separated without feeling lonely. Water, toilets, and a bulletin board with info for nearby hikes. And very dog friendly, it was my dog's first time camping and he definitely approves 😊

Disliked: Only thing is the occasional loud motorbikes from a nearby road and plane sounds, but we didn't mind.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic no frills campsite! The man running the site is very friendly. There are portaloos, a sink, and bins provided (no showers). Easy walk through the woods to Warnham with some great pubs, and about 1:30 walk to Horsham train station. Super relaxing stay.

Disliked: It is close to Gatwick flight path, so you can hear planes, but it didn't bother us at all.
