  • Peaceful camping field on a farm 10 minutes’ drive from Hastings
  • Battle Abbey 15 minutes’ drive and Bodiam Castle 25 minutes
  • Shop and pub 15 minutes’ walk; Hastings bus stop at the site entrance
A peaceful rural retreat 10 minutes’ drive from seaside Hastings in Kent, Beaulieu Farm Campsite sits on an arable farm that has been family-run for four generations; most of the fields are now used for making hay, which is sold in the animal feed shop five minutes’ walk away. As this is a working farm, there is no access to any fields other than the slightly undulating, well-mown camping meadow, where spacious pitches are sheltered by hedges and mature trees. The site entrance is controlled by electric gates, which operate via number-plate recognition and work around the clock for your maximum security. Amenities include washing-up sinks and separate facilities for men and women with loos and showers. Barbecues are allowed on site (you’ll need to bring your own equipment), and you can pick up bits and bobs to grill at the local convenience store (15 minutes’ walk). If you’re not a fan of alfresco cooking, there’s a pub serving good food about the same distance away. For bigger shopping needs or a variety of bars and restaurants, you can catch a bus into Hastings right outside the site entrance, with the journey taking 10 minutes.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (medium)

Liked: Lovely field, great to have a campsite basically in the town and everything was clean and tidy

Disliked: We didn't realise it was £1 for showers - and had to choose which of us used the only £1 we had in cash! I think this could be made clearer.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (medium)

Liked: Friendly and clean. Pitches are well spaced and amenities are easy to get to. The toilets, showers and sinks are all new so in great condition. Running hot water for washing up.

There are lots of local attractions so you don’t have to drive far for something to do, and we were told there are buses to get to most things locally.

Disliked: Nothing that we noticed!

Local attractions

Beaulieu Farm Campsite makes a great base for family day trips: the beach, pier and fish and chip shops of Hastings are 10 minutes’ drive/bus journey away. If the weather’s not playing ball, you can head down to Hastings Aquarium (15 minutes’ drive) and watch majestic sharks glide about their tanks, or dive deep underground to follow old pirates’ tunnels at the Smugglers Adventure (also 15 minutes). If your interests veer more towards the cultural, Hastings Castle (15 minutes) has dungeons and a medieval chapel to nose around, or you might get the kids to fall in love with history on a dragon hunt at moated Bodium Castle (25 minutes). The imposing remains of Battle Abbey (15 minutes) houses interactive displays on the Battle of Hastings in 1066. When fresh air is on the agenda, head for the High Weald National Landscape (10 minutes), where you can stroll up to Harold’s Henge, a sculpture along the 1066 Country Walk (10 minutes’ drive to the car park). Alternatively, hike sections of the Saxon Shore Way as it passes through Hastings Country Park (15 minutes).
