About the site


Take in the fabulous views over the Downs from your pitch at Stud Farm. If you're a traditional camper looking for some good ol' fashioned camping with basic facilities, to explore the sweeping countryside, the site has you covered. Pitches are on grass and suitable for tents and small campervans only (max 6 metres). Sorry, no caravans or motorhomes here. They are marked, allowing campers to choose which pitch they would like. 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. Do note all under 21s must be accompanied by an adult.

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 PitchesJul 2025

We enjoyed our stay very much. It is a beautiful site and well run. Although there was no electricity, the service of freezing cool box packs overnight was a very good idea. The facilities were kept clean and tidy and there were frequent checks by the managers to ensure all was well. It was beautifully quiet. £25 was a very reasonable price for two people in a campervan. Below I have put couple as that is the nearest category, but we were two friends. Also categorising for whom the site would be good, I haven't put older children down, but it would suit them if they were keen on the outdoors and not on screen machines.
