About the site
If you're looking for a peaceful, off-grid getaway with plenty of walking routes nearby, this is just the ticket. Set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the site enjoys glorious views across the surrounding countryside, great for watching the sunset. With over 12 acres of grassy meadow to choose from, you're free to pitch your tent wherever you please. Grass pitches are non electric and can accommodate a maximum of three tents with 12 guests. If glamping is more your style, book one of the three luxury bell tents, furnished with a cosy double bed, chairs, rugs, hanging rail, mirror and bohemian touches. Bed linen, crockery, cutlery and a firepit/BBQ are all included in the price. Please note that the bell tents sleep a maximum of two, so families or groups are advised to book multiple tents in advance if necessary. Sustainability is a huge focus for this site so expect eco-friendly facilities, off-grid camping (no WiFi or electricity) and an abundance of nature on your doorstep. Fire pits are provided to all guests free of charge and logs can be purchased onsite, so be sure to bring along the marshmallows. Dogs are very welcome but must be kept on leads at all times.

I had a really good time at the camp ⛺️ Raf and Maria are amazing people with a very good eye for details. You can purchase wood logs to set fires at night, and you can have a BBQ. It was a very special place, so even when the parking lot was full, it didn't feel crowded at all. Very beautiful sunset 🌅 overlooking the valley. The place is very clean and organised. You got several composting toilets in the place and even got hot showers. The place has an amazing atmosphere and really nice views. I like to cycle on the road and you have some very nice routes around. Hastings is only 1:30 on the bike or 30 minutes by car. Maria even let me stay a few more hours, just so my tent would dry from the rain that we had last night. I highly recommend it and I will definitely come back next time I want to get away for a few days from the city. Thank you very much Raf and Maria❤️
Peaceful weekend away

Would highly recommend. Being able to pitch where you want is a great idea and gives everyone space. Very friendly owners, who you are able to contact with fast responses when needed! Brilliant campsite with toilets, hot showers and bucket showers in different areas of the site, and not forgetting to add that this is a dog friendly campsite!

Our team will be doing everything we can to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene around the site, but ultimately guests are responsible for their own hygiene and that of their family and friends.
The considerate actions of guests will also impact on the safety of our team and our other guests.
Wash or sanitise hands when you arrive and leave the campsite
Wash or sanitise hands after using communal facilities
Please be extra aware of your children's behaviour
Ensure children are supervised when using communal facilities
Ensure your children do not play in or around the toilet and shower facilities. Games of 'hide & seek' in the toilet and shower cubicles would make it impossible for us to maintain necessary hygiene standards!
Children remain the responsibility of their parents or guardians at all times in the cabins, on site and during activities. Please ensure that your children are supervised at all times.
Smoking & Vaping

Please put all cigarette butts in the bins provided. Cigarette butts take up to 10 years to decompose and are very harmful to the land!
