Mi è piaciuto Beautiful valley. Well maintained, basic but good facilities and clear arrival and site use instructions. A real back to nature adventure. A lovely spot for a short escape to the wild.

Non mi è piaciuto No washing up area. (But this was clear on the description. Wild camping!)

Mi è piaciuto This is a beautiful, peaceful , wild campsite. Great location along a chalky track, surrounded by trees and open fields. Yet it is only a few minutes from goodwood and Chichester. Feels like you are miles from civilisation.
Rachel is lovely and friendly . Delivers logs directly to your door .
Pitch where you like. Allowed fire baskets.
Walks directly from the site . Good pub just down the road.

Non mi è piaciuto Nothing to dislike

Mi è piaciuto We stayed in a bell tent which was spacious and clean. 2 single camping beds and a fire pit were included. The site was clean and on the date we stayed the sky was clear, so we could see so many stars which was the main purpose of our visit. Rachel was very considerate, and stopped by each guest to check all was okay.

Non mi è piaciuto The ‘gravel’ road is less the gravel you’d assume and more flinty - we were in a low car and so had to get out constantly and move very large rocks so the car wouldn’t scrape. We expected bumpy, but not driving over literal rocks so this could’ve been specified. The advert also says BBQs are allowed, but nowhere did it specify that disposable BBQs were NOT allowed until the day of arrival, when you receive an email saying this. Our booking included a fire pit and ash-disposal areas were provided on the site, so we couldn’t understand why we couldn’t use the disposable BBQ inside the fire pit.

Dal gestore: Thank you so much for your wonderful 8-star review. I’m truly grateful, and it was an absolute pleasure having you stay at the farm. I’m especially thrilled you were able to enjoy a clear night and witness the stars — they really are magical over our field, and often present shooting stars as a little treat.

I’m very sorry that you had to move several pieces of flint from our track. In this part of the South Downs National Park, flint and chalk are naturally common and can be quite difficult to manage. Please rest assured that we are consistently working to repair the track. The entrance to our field has already been repaired, and we will continue restoring each section over the winter months until the whole track is complete.

On Pitchup, it is stated under our booking terms and conditions that disposable barbecues are not permitted. It is the first bullet point under ‘General’.

For the safety of our guests and the protection of our environment, disposable (single-use foil) barbecues are not permitted on our site. These can get extremely hot, and in the past, we have witnessed unnecessary bin fires when they have been disposed of before they have cooled to a suitable temperature. In addition to this, disposable barbeques were often used directly on dry grass, which can easily catch fire, as well as causing damage to the ground. Fire safety is our number one concern as our field is surrounded by an ancient woodland. We hope by saying no to disposable barbeques ensures a safer camping field.

The ash drums are provided for ash from fire pits only. The ash is re-used and spread on our organic fields. In the past, removing them has been hazardous and risked injury to us when pulling them out of the drums.

I do hope I will have the pleasure of welcoming you back to the farm one day.

With best wishes,
Rachel :)

Mi è piaciuto We've stayed here for years and ❤️ the place. It was nice and quiet and not busy at all. Beautiful views and loads of places to explore. The toilets are clean and the taps (water) are more convenient now that they're in the field. Can't wait to come back.

We came as a family of 4 with a 🐕. We've been coming on and off since the kids were around 3 & 6 and they're now 11 & 14. This place is suitable for all.

Rachel was always available if we had any questions or needed a log/kindling reload. We hired a fire pit too which saved us room in our truck. This place is a hidden 💎

It is a bit of a bumpy track road to get to the field which is what you'd expect in an area like this. We drove a pick-up truck so had no problem with the terrain however, most vehicles will be fine as long as you take it slow 🐌 I used to drive a Ford KA & Hyundai i30 which were fine coming here but quite bumpy in parts. Dont let this put you off.

This is basic camping so if you're expecting anything more than your pitch, clean running water and clean toilets then it might not be for you. This is exactly why we love it 😀

There are also pods/bell tents available.

Non mi è piaciuto NOTHING to dislike!
