Tyckte om This was an incredible location to visit. We enjoyed our stay with 5 other families so 28 of us in total.
With 16 children aged 2-10 we were so pleased with this set up, families that wanted to glamp could and other families set up their own tents.

It was a safe and chilled weekend for both kids and parents & we plan on making it a family tradition.

The host was super helpful and really warm.

Tyckte om We loved this campsite! Laid back, friendly, lots of space, also the loos and showers were great. Close to Hassocks station for any non-car campers like us, and the gorgeous Ditchling Beacon view to wake up to. The pubs in Ditchling were good food and vibes too. Fab!

Tyckte inte om nothing!

Tyckte om Beautiful location. Clean, basic facilities (handsoap would've been lovely). Spacious grounds with delightful views. Only 20min drive to Brighton. Will definitely be back! Thank you.

Tyckte inte om Boy racers in the car park opposite making a racket but fortunately they were only there for about 10mins

Tyckte om Lovely and clean site. Beautiful area with lots of walks. The actual site area was quite large so if it’s not too busy then you can get a spot away from other people. You can get some beautiful pictures of the stars at night as there’s no light pollution.

Tyckte inte om The neighbours were a little noisy during our stay but the owners handled it immediately and professionally. We did not have any service/signal whatsoever on the site but this was expected for a camping trip.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you - AND YES - the South Downs Way is only a 10 minute walk away, always breathtaking views over the rolling undulating hills...

Tyckte om Fantastic spot to enjoy a weekend camping, great sized pitches, lovely warm showers, nicely situated for a walk into Ditchling to one of the local pubs or tea rooms. Thoroughly enjoyed my relaxing weekend, thanks so much, definitely would come again

Tyckte inte om There was nothing we disliked

Från föreståndaren: Thats really nice of you thank you - hopefully see you again when the sun starts shining again...

Tyckte om Site is on the edge of a beautiful village with 2 great pubs, cafes and shop. Local museum and at the foot of the South Downs. There were decent facilities on site, large pitches and a nice vibe for all ages. Owner was present to provide fire pit and logs etc for wonderful evening fires. Weather was amazing. Shame we had to leave!

Tyckte inte om The site backs on to a road that can be busy at peak times otherwise pretty quiet.

Från föreståndaren: It certainly is incredibly tranquil, peaceful and the best place I know to revitalise. Everyone is very friendly in Ditchling, which makes a difference when popping-in for a quick snack, beer or Sunday Roast...

Tyckte om perfect location. Beautiful site

Tyckte inte om Good for families or big parties but wouldn’t recommend it solo sadly. Probably best suited to you’ve got a vehicle/ all gear need and only need land and water. Very loud with lots of kids. Says to use fire pits and wood provided but they only have 4, the site seemed full- didn’t mention this anywhere beforehand- not really something you can carry on your bike. The one thing you want when camping is a fire and food, especially after a long day, so a bit disappointing. I was bikepacking solo for charity, nobody was around the first couple of hours upon arrival to ask questions. Signal is on and off too so not the best when you have to rely on having to call management. When I came back I saw the manager and asked for a fire pit to which he replied they’re all gone- that I should’ve been by my tent when he made the rounds? The whole point in staying there was to explore the surrounding area. Ended up giving me a dirty bbq and a basket of half burned wood to make my food without seeming to care too much. Bit disappointing really. Also thought it was a tent only pitch, ended up having a big camper park up in a small gap between myself and another group, completely blocking the view of the sunset which is the main reason I booked. Ending up having to move all my stuff. Luckily I was leaving early and only had to stay a night but I wouldn’t again if it was anything like that. Such a shame because it’s the perfect location and I love cycling through the area! if only the service was a little better! Solo campers are as deserving of decent hospitality as big groups! Maybe get some extra pits/ add a more detailed arrival information or welcome info! Clarity helps a lot :)

Från föreståndaren: Its a shame that you didn't enjoy your experience. Most of our campers have a fantastic time. As you nicely state - perfect location and beautiful site.... and Im glad that you found the time to visit the local amenities.

Our site states to bring your own fire pit, but that wood is to be purchased form us. I saw you arrive and gave you space to settle-in. When we met I noticed that you were a little discombobulated. I did my best to offer a solution, which we provided free of charge, but with the greatest of respect it is not up to the camp site to ensure that you are able to cook your food. All of our campers bring their own cooking facilities or venture to the pub, which is only a short walk away. There are also take away facilities only a 2 minute cycle away........

I honestly recommend wild camping as I don't believe that camp sites with other people are your thing....

Från föreståndaren: Hi Zoi Daniilak,
It is shame that I didn't manage to meet you during your stay, although I did ask campers if they had seen you about, whilst I was on site offering fire wood and cleaning the toilets/showers etc.

Thanks for your feed back - unfortunately we can't alter the water pressure as the water is supplied by the Water Company. We could of course install a reducer, but that would then affect the pressure in the showers and change the whole experience.

Glad that you enjoyed the rabbits and the local area. You are quite right - the road isn't noisy as its a minor rd serving a few villages.

Hopefully see you again next year
