About The Holmsted Himalayas
On a sheltered 20-acre field and working farm with beautiful valley views, this pop-up site offers bell tent glamping in a great location between London and Brighton. Set up with four beds with room for up to six, there are ten fully furnished bell tents. These are complete with a double bed, two single beds, soft rugs and lighting. Outside, you'll find an off-ground fire pit too. Great handmade facilities are nearby, including rustic hot showers and toilets in a converted horse trailer. On-site, you'll find small ponds dotted around, attracting various wildlife. There is also a bigger lake has a jetty installed and is open for swimming. So don't forget to bring your kit to take a dip! There are plenty of countryside walks nearby and a pub down the road too. After swimming, relax in the communal tent with other campers complete with a fridge, power points and any other information that you may need. There's also a gym that will allow one-off attendance to classes and bootcamp sessions.
The Holmsted Himalayas is open from 22/05 to 04/06 and 28/07 to 31/08.
Facilities include three homemade gas-powered showers and flushing toilets in a converted horse trailer. There is also a communal stretch tent with charging points, seating areas, a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, information and games. Fire pits are provided, and you can buy logs from the farm. You'll also find a gym offering one-off passes at discounted rates to campers on the farm.
It's a one-mile walk to the local pub, the Victory Inn. There is an on-site butcher and there will be food and drink evenings throughout August and May half term.

The perfect getaway. All facilities were clean and there were plenty of things to do for both kids and adults. The pond (although cold😂) was a brilliant extra. Cannot fault anything, can't wait to come back!
Incredible place!

What an absolutely wonderful stay at a beautiful place! There is really something special, it feels like a community. The bell tents are clean and comfortable and the communal areas were lovely and really well equipped with fridges and charging points etc. To top it off, it has a great lake to swim, or canoe in and the showers were lovely, warm and clean for after. It barely feels like camping! We didn't want to leave!
Beyond expectation
