Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Gorgeous setting, great location between Hastings and Rye - lots of good walking paths and routes nearby and two pubs in walking distance. Good showers/toilets. Nice that they get people to take their cars off site as it gives it a nature feel. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
Disliked There were two large groups who were very noisy - so not a place for if you’re looking for a bit of peace and tranquility. Not much of a presence of the owners/staff.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Easy, simple camping. Very budget friendly. Very quiet site during week, it did get busier at the weekend with a couple of big groups. Short drive to a lovely beach, and local pub.
Neither good or bad - I would note some of the roads were very small with some steep hills which came as a challenge for me as someone that lives in a very flat area of the UK.
Disliked With the larger groups the toilets did become unclean. More regular cleaning of the facilities would be better but this is more a reflection on the people staying and not leaving them in a nice condition, rather than the site.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great location and really lovely, calm site. Loved our stay here ❤️
Clean facilities - washing up area, fire pits to borrow with wood you can buy and 2 toilets&2 showers for the ladies. Might be a too few if the camp was busier though.
Disliked Water in showers was too hot for me and my friend but others might prefer it- better that it being freezing cold!!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked As expected, wild-ish camping with the ability to pitch your tent wherever you want too. Feels very tucked away which was great.
Disliked Wasn't the quietest camping experience we've ever had.
A good amount of noise could be heard from all over the site till the early hours.
Not ideal with two small children.
