Peacocks Farm Campsite

Liked Everything! Loved the nature reserve aspect of the land and the way the pitches are distributed. Feels like you’re out there on your own. Lovely relaxed vibe and very peaceful. Clean showers/loos etc. I love camping and this is one of the best sites I’ve ever found. Definitely will be returning many times! Paul is very approachable and helpful. Oh and the fruit forest is magical!!

Liked I stayed here for one night with my five-year-old son, and it did not disappoint. It’s as close to true wild camping as you can get.
• Beautiful location
• Natural, untouched land
• Spacious, private pitches (no one right next to you)
• Complete peace and quiet
• Wild fruit to pick
• Campfires allowed

This is by far the best “back to nature” campsite I’ve visited. My son had the best time exploring—running through the woods, playing by the pond, and so much more.

Disliked None.

Liked So much space, we had our own area with no one around so was very relaxing - farmer was lovely and provided fire pits which made our stay even better

Disliked Was told to turn our music down at 7 even tho quiet time was after 9:30 and music wasn’t extremely loud anyway

From the manager: Hi Freya,

I'm very pleased you enjoyed your stay and I really hope to see you all again next time.

Apologies for being the grinch about the music, I try and keep the site quiet all the time and REALLY quiet after 9.30pm. Next time you come please let me know and I will find you a pitch further away from the neighbours. I am sure we can find a happy medium where you guys can enjoy yourselves and no one else will be affected.

Kind regards

Liked The campsite here at peacocks farm was so peaceful and relaxing. I especially liked the way the pitches have been carved out in the meadow areas so you have your own private space. Also the fact that you can choose your own pitch, the land and the fruit trees are beautiful, toilets and showers spotlessly clean too. Thank you for a very relaxing break. Will be returning for sure.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked Super friendly lovely and wild with loads of space and peace and quiet… absolutely loved it there and would have liked to stay a lot longer. Excellent warm/hot showers and funky toilets

Disliked Struggled a bit with the amount of air traffic as relatively close to Gatwick but most people wouldn’t even notice and certainly didn’t disturb my sleep… just my issue.

From the manager: Great to hear you enjoyed it! Hope the hammock held up. I hope to see you next time.

Liked I parked the van in the car park and found a perfect place to sling up my hammock for the night. The trees were heavy with ripe plums—I literally stood and dined straight from the branches! Wildlife was everywhere I looked, adding to the tranquility of the site.
It's got a wild, natural feel, but there are plenty of well-maintained paths leading to a variety of pitch sizes. Some are only accessible on foot, but there are plenty of drive-up spots too—my VW camper had no trouble.
Before heading off, I grabbed a hot shower—great water pressure!
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to escape into nature, even just for a night.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

From the manager: I am very glad you enjoyed it! I think you are our first hammock camper! Glad the plums went down well and I look forward to your next visit.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A Perfect Retreat in the Heart of Nature

Tucked away in a secluded, re-wilded corner of West Sussex, this campsite feels like stepping into a gentler, slower world. The air here hums with life — the chorus of birds at dawn, the rustle of deer in the distance, the evening’s gentle owl calls. You’re surrounded by wildflower meadows, whispering woodland, and meandering streams that catch the light in a way that makes you forget what day it is.

Pitches are generously spaced, so you get privacy. The facilities are clean but sympathetic to the environment — solar lighting, and hot showers powered by renewables. Everything here feels thoughtfully placed and low-impact, allowing the land to take centre stage.

What makes it truly special is the sense of re-wilding in action. You can hear the hum of healthy insect life along with bats, buzzard’s and a host of other bird life.

Within easy strolling distance, you’ll find a string of welcoming pubs, each with its own charm. The food is a highlight — hearty, beautifully cooked, and made with locally sourced ingredients that let you taste the region in every bite.

It’s a place where you arrive for a weekend but end up wishing you’d booked a week. Whether you’re here to hike the rolling South Downs, sit quietly with a book, or just fall asleep under a sky crammed with stars, this little pocket of West Sussex will stay with you long after you leave.

Liked Beautiful spot, so quiet and surrounded by fruit trees and wildlife. Think this is my new favourite campsite! 😍 And the best use of IBC containers I've ever seen!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I am so pleased you enjoyed yourself and liked the site! The IBC showers did turn out rather well even if I do say so myself! I look forward to your next visit!

Liked Absolutely LOVED this site!
All the information given makes it a painless arrival, park, choose a pitch and go. Facilities were clean and new, all you could ask for.
Turned up to a quiet and peaceful area, entered through a locked gate so it feels safe. Lovely natural area semi woodland and some more covered areas.
We stayed in a meadow area and had the area to ourselves as it wasn’t full.
The owner was lovely and was quite happy for us to take a look round and pick as many plumbs as we could carry 😁
This was the first time I’ve taken my two girls camping without the wife and we all had a great time!

Disliked No phone signal: not the owners fault and it’s wild camping so that’s fair enough.literally can’t think of anything bad to say about this site

From the manager: I am so glad you guys enjoyed it so much! I hope you enjoyed the plums and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Liked Beautiful tranquil location really enjoyed chilling out and watching the Sun go down nice walk to the local pub for a refreshing beverage, lots of wildlife and lovely bird song even saw an owl Hunting along one of the newly planted Hedge rows,
Excellent facilities without being over the top would definitely like to return
