I recently had the pleasure of spending seven nights at Beech Estate in East Sussex, a back to basics campsite, over the Easter holiday and it was an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease and immersed in the natural beauty of the surroundings. One of the standout features of the campsite was the incredibly supportive warden, Ben. He went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed during my stay, from providing detailed information about the local area and nearby hiking trails. What really stood out to me was Ben's unwavering commitment to making sure that every guest felt safe and comfortable. He was always available to answer questions and address any concerns that I had, and his friendly demeanor and positive attitude made me feel right at home. As for the campsite itself, it was a true back to basics experience - no frills or fancy amenities, just a peaceful, natural setting with plenty of space to relax and unwind. The absence of technology and modern distractions was a welcome change of pace, and I found myself fully embracing the simplicity of the experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this back to basics campsite to anyone looking for a refreshing and rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And if you have the pleasure of crossing paths with Ben, consider yourself lucky - he truly is a gem of a warden who goes above and beyond to make every guest feel right at home. I'm already planning my return visit.

We had such a warm welcome from the owners who showed us our pitch for the 3 nights we stayed. Even though we have a huge 8 man tent, we had plenty of room. The teens and I loved that we were off grid and in the middle of the woods and especially enjoyed cooking on a proper open campfire. We went for a walk on the red route (there are a few to choose from) and ended up getting lost in the woods for 2 1/2 hours but it meant we saw 8 deer in total and not one other person. It was idyllic in the Autumnal sunshine and much needed. The washing up area and toilets were kept very clean and have everything you need, including hand wash, sanitiser and washing up liquid. Even though we didn't use the bucket showers these looked super cool. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we all agreed it was the best campsite we have ever been to. Definitely will be returning!

This is a truly special campsite. Each pitch is nicely secluded and makes you feel you have the whole forest to yourself. The facilities are so clean and well maintained. One set of flushing toilets and plenty of compost toilets that are actually very pleasant because they are well maintained and well designed. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you

My grandson wanted to camp in woods away from other campers. This site fitted the bill perfectly. We had two wheelbarrows full of camping equipment and getting to our pitch was down hill so no problem setting up. More effort needed on leaving! The pitch was secluded with plenty of space for our tent and there was a fire pit. Compost toilets, bucket showers and washing up facilities were just a short walk away. All the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. All three recommended walks were completed, although the walk to the pub was poorly signposted and we ended up back at the campsite and had to take the car. Wildlife spotted? Rabbits, a fox and a badger! We heard owls but didn't spot any. On the downside, but only a little niggle, was that some campers ignored the after ten quiet time. The Squirrel Inn does good food and we highly recommend the cafe at Netherfield for breakfast. We would definitely come back!

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at the campsite and the local walks around the forest. Sorry to hear you found the pub walk badly signposted, we will have a look at updating this, all the growth we've had can sometimes lead to signs being hidden by nature! We hope to see you again soon.

Very good place to camp. The location was perfect and the pitches were situated in secluded areas. There was a very peaceful atmosphere. Facilities were clean and functional. Will definitely be staying there again in the near future.

We had an excellent pitch, with a great bit of forest behind us, and even though lots of people arrived the next day we still felt secluded enough. Has a beautiful walk which was one of the marked ones in the forest and we saw deer while there. Great that cars can't get in and you bring your stuff over in a wheelbarrow which lends to the proper camping experience! Great eco awareness with compost loos as an example. Thank you.

Beautiful setting - the woods are amazing. Facilities are clean and very well thought out. Great for families, but if you want quiet then go outside of the holidays or not weekends. The families left on Sunday morning and the place became serene and relaxing. Wonderful. Would definitely come back at the right time of year.

Thank you Martin! We're so pleased you had a great stay. These are very helpful tips and we definitely recommend those looking for a quieter stay to visit us outside of peak times as we do cater for families for the majority of the holidays. We look forward to welcoming you back again!
