  • In a secluded valley between Battle and Hastings
  • Wildlife haven: spot badgers, foxes, deer, rabbits, owls and hedgehogs
  • Fishing lake, dog trail, coffee shop, adventure play and wardens 24hrs
As you might guess from the name, Bluebell Coppice Park is a woodland site. But you’ll need to stop for a sec and have a look at the site pics to get a full sense of just how scenic and well maintained it is: expect tall trees, carpets of spring bluebells, excellent facilities and wildlife all around. The park is in a secluded East Sussex valley between Battle and Hastings, deep in 1066 Country and with pitches surrounded by the owners’ private woodland. Look out for species of all sorts during your stay here: the woods are home to – among many others – foxes, rabbits, badgers and squirrels; woodpeckers, owls, buzzards and bats; mice, voles and hedgehogs; grass snakes and slow worms; dragonflies and damsonflies… and plants of all sorts including ferns, orchids, foxgloves and wood anemones. A small coarse fishing lake is also on site (look out here for mallards and moorhens) and there’s a dog-friendly trail for further walks in the woods. Once you’ve exhausted all those options, amble over to the coffee shop for refreshments, then – if the kids have any energy left – over to the adventure play area (it’s suitable for all ages of kids, but parental assistance may be needed for the very young). Pitching is in three fields: the biggest one with the amenities block (newly extended and renovated in 2019 ); the second with the fishing lake, and the third in a woodland area suitable for tents. All guests have access to the amenities block with separate disabled facilities, as well as free hot water available 24 hours a day, and acovered washing-up area. Wardens are on site at all times. And when you’re venturing off site? If you’re not sure where to make for first, the well-stocked tourist information point should supply some tips: you could, for example, have days in Hastings, Battle, Rye, more Sussex seaside towns, nearby nature reserves, the High Wealds, Sussex vineyards, Sussex castles…

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Nice little camp site. Good club house with activities and food. Pizzas Burger etc. 24hr honesty shop. Hot breakfast cafe in the morning. Friendly staff. Great location for walking to Crowhurst station and getting the train in to Hastings/Battle.

Disliked: Toilets were clean but there are only 3 WC and 3 showers for the whole campsite. Can be busy. Hardstanding Pitches were very hard and stoney. Thank goodness ness for screw pegs and an impact gun.

Willow 2 bedroom lodge

Liked: We stayed in a hut.

Location is wonderful, you felt very off the beaten track.

Site facilities were all very good and were very well maintained. The woodland walk was really good and we loved it as a family. Although it was a bit too challenging in places for a two year old - which when we asked about it, we should really have been warned about!

Disliked: The hut was, let's say, looking a little tired in places.

And there was no TV as we were led to believe. (Usually quite handy for 20 mins in the morning when getting ready with a 2yr old..)

Local attractions

Bluebell Coppice Park is well placed within 1066 Country, a five-minute drive from Battle and 15 from Hastings. Bodiam Castle is 20 minutes from the site. The Brakes woodland is a top pick for walks and wildlife watching, and many more walks of varying lengths are in the site surrounds, including the RSPB reserve a few minutes’ stroll away. Zoos, gardens and vineyards are all close by too: ask on site for details. Events – many of them family friendly – run all year round in this part of East Sussex, such as festivals and gigs, farmers’ markets, craft fairs and watersports.
