About Wild Boar Wood Campsite
Part of Pegs and Pitches Camping, this off-grid glamping site is located in private five-acre woodland near Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Guests are treated to a lovely woodland setting, a space for crackling fires, tweeting birds and den building. It's an ideal place to connect with the outdoors while being an easy reach of London and Brighton. The nine pre-erected 5m bell tents are set in a superb bluebell wood of 5 acres, where each has its own fire pit, grill for cooking on and picnic bench. Inside are comfy beds, cooking equipment and a bag of firewood to get you started. The site also has two faraway bell tents tucked away in seclusion - perfect for couples or families who want a little more privacy. Some of the bell tents are closer together for those coming in groups. Cars are parked away from the camping area so campers can relax in nature. It's ideal for families and groups to reconnect and renew friendships or chat with fellow campers around the campfire. Whole campsite bookings can also be made if you have a special occasion. Please note, the campsite is off-grid so has no electric. Campers will have a back to nature experience that won't easily be forgotten!
Wild Boar Wood Campsite is open from 12/04 to 12/10.
The site has a water supply, eco flushing toilets and outdoor bucket showers (warm water supplied). There is a covered washing up area to the side and a baby bath onsite for the youngest campers. There is also a central camp area with communal fire which provides a great cooking area under cover. A warden is on site at all times to help guests.
The Old Dairy Farm and its shop are just two miles from site.

My daughter (10) and I had a lovely time at the campsite. It was a great base to go exploring and we actively looked forward to spending time in and around the tent. We built up a fire in our firepit every night, enjoyed the unique bucket showers and relaxed in the quiet. I will add, it is very rare to find somewhere this dark. If the sun went down and we turned out the lamps, I could not see AT ALL. As a place to get away from it, this rates very highly for me.

Came for a one night stay with 2 friends, plus my 11y/o and 8y/o for their first experience of camping, and we absolutely loved it. This was ideal as the tent was really well equipped and the perfect size for the 5 of us. The setting is beautiful and well worth having to carry bags down a short track to be car-free. It was raining when we arrived but the welcome was warm and the provision of covered areas around the tent meant we could quickly get in and keep everything dry. One the sun came out, the next door field provided some space for the kids to run and the grown ups that walk more sedately! We needed to buy more kindling so do come prepared for that, and bring plenty of lanterns for ambient light - one was provided but we needed more. Our tent was tucked away from the others a little which was lovely, some are a bit more open but on the plus side, closer to the facilities. As a heads up, there are fairly frequent planes flying over to and from Gatwick, it wasn't at all a problem but don't expect it to be silent/ nature sounds only at night. We didn't try the bucket showers but maybe next time! We'll definitely be back again.

Things to do on site and in the Horsted Keynes area
This is the place for relaxing and enjoying the natural environment, against the background of the nostalgic Bluebell Railway. Now's your chance to unwind completely, enjoy cooking on a campfire, make tasty smores, try your hand at bug hunting and wildlife spotting or just lovely woodland walks.
Head down to the River Ouse for lovely walks through the High Weald, which end in welcoming Sussex pubs. The Sloop Inn, The Green Man and The Crown Inn are all within a mile or two of the site.
The steam trains of the Bluebell Railway pass right by the site, so be sure to wave at the passengers and perhaps take a ride for yourself!
This is also a great base for those wanting to explore the Sussex countryside and South Coast or to visit Ashdown Forest, of Winnie the Pooh fame.
The seaside and Lanes shopping area of Brighton and Hove are just an half hour from your base, or you can easily pop over to Haywards Heath and historic Lewes with its quaint streets.
Lindfield Golf Club is just minutes away, an ideal place for golfers to practise their swing.
Other great attractions include:
- Ashdown Forest (10 mins)
- The National Trust's Sheffield Park and Garden (10 mins)
- Wakehurst Place (20 mins)
- Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum (30 mins)
- Borde Hill Garden (5 mins)
