About Yamp Camp Bluebell

Located in the picturesque High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this off-grid, traditional campsite provides an idyllic base for exploring Sussex. With the neighbouring Bluebell railway, you may even be able to sit back and hear the whistle of the vintage steam trains as they chug past. The site has 30 non electric grass pitches in total, each welcoming tents and VW campervans. Each pitch comes with its own fire pit, so make sure you don't forget the marshmallows. The site also looks to allocate pitches so everyone is with like-minded campers, including there being a specific adult-friendly section. Though the site is nestled away in the countryside, you will still be within easy reach of plenty of attractions, along with great transport links to London in nearby Haywards Heath (10 minutes). For days out at the beach, the quirky city of Brighton is also just 40 minutes away. Four-legged friends are also welcome onsite so don't forget to pack the treats!

The site is open for weekends from 14th July until 10th September.
