Deaks Acres

Liked I genuinely had a great weekend!
When we first got there we saw the long grass and thought, oh no!! BUT... I actually love the idea of the long grass between each pitch space. Each pitch space had a picnic table, and a fire pit ready to use. You could pitch multiple tents per pitch, and the toilet/shower space was well kept, and very easy to use.
The owner is lovely, and popped by after we got settled, and had our tents sorted.
The outside kitchen was handy, and the bags of wood were reasonably priced.
The play space was well kept, and full of outdoor games.

Disliked Not a major dislike, but the toilet lights aren't very bright, so used my phone torch, when going for a nighttime wee.

Liked I loved that it only had 10 pitches which meant it wasn't too crowded.
Each pitch was easily identifiable by means of a picnic bench and fire pit/grill.
There were bags of logs available for a reasonable fee and frwsh eggs from the farms' chickens.
An area for washing up is provided as well as the cleanest toilet/shower block I've seen on a campsite. There's also drinking water available on site.
It's dark (other than the fire pits), so the night sky had little or no light pollution.

It's easy to find, with little signposts guiding you once off the main roads.

Disliked There's nothing to dislike.

Liked This is an excellent campsite. Small so it won't ever be crowded, open enough for children to run around. The pitch sizes are ideal and come with a bench and firepit, and you can also park your call next to your pitch.

The open kitchen area is great to use.

The toilets were nice, and the showers looked nice too.

A farm is next to the camp field with animals, and there is also a swing and footballs and nets for the kids, which was great.

Karen was friendly and helpful when speaking with her.

Overall, a nice campsite that I shall use again.

Liked We loved this campsite and thought that it was a perfect and idilic country campsite. It had the cleanest toilets and showers that we’ve ever known a site to have. We loved that you could go into the animal cages and the owner was so friendly and accommodating. Every pitch had a fire pit and picnic bench that was a nice touch. Each pitch was spread out and the campsite on the whole was very spacious and peaceful. It was the perfect getaway and you felt safe to let your children play on the different equipment. There was a trampoline, swing, slide and different games like connect 4, giant Jenga, badminton and football. We will definitely be back. It was a 10 minute drive to Ardingly Reservoir where we did water sports and recommend that aswell.

Liked Absolutely EVERYTHING.
I don’t know what I expected but this was a little piece of heaven.
We wanted off grid and simple, this delivered way beyond. The basic necessities are there (clean toilets, hot showers, activities for the kids, a stove, sink, fire pits, bbq, logs). We didn’t want electric and mod cons. We wanted back to nature with basic essentials and feel we lucked out more than!

Disliked Nothing. Anyone that complains about this place, got the wrong place!

Liked We are back here 3rd year now. Our children (girls) love it. They go to play with animals or swing, as soon as they open the eyes. They can also burn their energy there after overdosing on smores jumping on the trampoline.
We will be back next year too.

Liked It's such a lovely place to stay. Karen is so helpful and always so bubbly! The dogs are really lovely, too. always nice to see them when they pop over to the tent. The added extra of the benches and fire pits by the pitches is a lovely touch and helps when sitting eating food. This is our second visit, and we can't fault the place. The toilets and shower facilities are always topped up and kept clean and tidy. The washing up area is really nice too with the extra bonus of the gas stove too to heat up water! You can visit the animals too what's really nice and you can even get in with the pigs and say hello.
Definitely will be going again soon! 😁

Liked Everything - the farm is wonderful and Karen is lovely! We were able to go into the fields and meet the animals. The site was lovely and clean too. Added bonus of a picnic bench and fire pitch for each pitch.

Liked Excellent pop-up campsite. Toilets and showers are clean, there's plenty of space around the pitches, and the kitchen facilities are great. More in the games area than expected, including a big swing, badminton, swing ball, giant connect four and a small football goal. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and let the kids help out feeding the animals.

Liked Beautiful quiet site with clean facilities, friendly farm animals, and great activity options nearby - walks, vineyards, orchards, etc. The campsite owners are lovely and helpful! Also great to have the firepit and picnic bench with each pitch.

Disliked There could be more toilets - when one wasn't working, it only left one for everyone on the site.
