About Heronsdale Manor Farm Campsite
A simple and rustic site on a friendly farm near the village of Waldron (20 minute walk) in East Sussex. The site offers a back to nature feel - where the kids can be kids and adults can relax in a deck chair with a glass of something around the campfire! Camping is on a three acre field with a small area of woodland. Whether you want an open pitch with stunning views or a more secluded spot, the choice is yours. The farm is happy to have tents, campervans and caravans and can also arrange to hire bell tents for glampers if requested. It's a great spot for a family camping trip, a group of families or friends. There has been everything from school class camping trips to groups of mums wanting their kids to run outside all day! Why not hire the whole field for a special occasion - in the past the Heronsdale Manor has hosted birthday parties, family occasions and several weddings. Well behaved dogs are welcome, but guests must know that this is a working farm, with tractors, machinery and livestock in adjacent fields.
Heronsdale Manor Farm Campsite is open on the following dates for 2024: 26/04 to 13/06, 17/06 to 12/09 and 16/09 to 21/09 and the following dates for 2025: 02/05 to 13/09.
Site facilities include composting toilets and gas fired hot showers. Fresh eggs are available to buy on site and fire pits and logs can be supplied at your request.
The local village of Waldron is a 20 minute walk away with a local pub called the Star Inn (closed on Mondays). The small market town of Heathfield is about three miles away (10 minutes) with supermarkets, a great selection of local shops, and a well-stocked delicatessen.

The site was nice, remote, peaceful and had no light pollution. The facilities were basic but good, with nice showers and an area to wash up. Loved the fire pit and log idea

Things to do on site and in the Heathfield area
Heronsdale is situated in central East Sussex within easy drive of a number of beautiful and interesting National Trust properties including Rudyard Kipling's home in Burwash, the beautiful gardens of Sissinghurst or Wakehurst, and Bodiam Castle.
The stunning coast at Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters are within a half hour drive passing through several picture postcard downland villages.
Drusillas Zoo Park with its vast array of exotic and domestic creatures is within easy reach. Plus, Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum is within a 15 minute drive and now also has an adventure 'highwire' assault course called Branching Out - it's ideal if you need an adrenaline fix on the high zip wires!
Many visitors, however, prefer to walk to a local pub for a leisurely lunch and the site can provide directions to several if you require some assistance.
Larger local towns include Uckfield and Lewes. The coastal resorts of Brighton and Eastbourne are within half an hours drive.
