The site welcomes everyone from backpackers to small campers. And, for large groups, the camping field can be hired for your gathering with an advanced booking.
Well behaved dogs welcome but must be kept on a lead.

A note from the site themselves...
We are so proud of our site with an ideal location just off the beautiful South Downs Way, set in an Area of Outstanding Beauty with breathtaking views. It is in a perfect location for hiking, cycling or a family break, being only a 30 minute walk from the seafront.
The site is purposefully basic, this is a real back to basics camping so do be prepared as we have no thrills here but that's just the way we like it!
We can't wait to welcome you and hope you love it here as much as we do.
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023
Lovely, quiet, tranquil spot for back to basics but with the luxury of a slightly erratic showers. Facilities were spotlessly clean.
Views amazing, you can either see sea or rolling hills.
Good spot for a 30/40 mins walk cross country to Saltdean Beach.
Will be back.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024
No hot water on shower and water supply was intermittent. Also, no lights in shower area. Also, disappointed to pay £16 for fire starters when they can be bought in Newhaven for just £2.
Price for stay was not too bad. Fun fire pits for hire. Great location.
Site's response
We are sorry that you found some of our facilities disappointing.
Unfortunately the trade off for the amazing location and views, being right on top of the downs, is that the campsite has basic facilities, as clearly advertised, which means there are no hot power showers available.
Just to be clear for those reading this review, our fire lighting kits priced at £16 consist of a large bag of logs & kindling, fire lighters & matches, again as detailed with the added convenience of having it all delivered to your pitch. I am not clear how you found all of that in Newhaven for £2.
