About Stud Farm

Take in the fabulous views over the Downs from your pitch at Stud Farm. If you're a traditional camper looking for some good ol' fashioned camping with basic facilities, to explore the sweeping countryside, the site has you covered. Pitches are on grass and suitable for tents and small campervans only (max 6 metres). Sorry, no caravans or motorhomes here. They are marked, allowing campers to choose which pitch they would like. The site welcomes everyone from backpackers to small campers. And, for large groups, the camping field can be hired for your gathering with an advanced booking. Well behaved dogs welcome but must be kept on a lead. Do note all under 21s must be accompanied by an adult.

Camping is available from 17th March to 29th October. Glamping is available 3rd April to 24th September.


Facilities and amenities

Facilities include a toilet and shower block with four toilets and two large showers and a washing up area. Fire pits are available to hire. Horse liveries are also available if you're arriving with yours.

Campers can purchase a range of organic meat from the farm including sausages and burgers, breakfast hampers and basic supplies. It's also just a 20 minute walk to the seafront, where wild swimming in the sea is possible. Three good pubs within a half hour's walk.

A note from the site themselves...

We are so proud of our site with an ideal location just off the beautiful South Downs Way, set in an Area of Outstanding Beauty with breathtaking views. It is in a perfect location for hiking, cycling or a family break, being only a 30 minute walk from the seafront.

The site is purposefully basic, this is a real back to basics camping so do be prepared as we have no thrills here but that's just the way we like it!

We can't wait to welcome you and hope you love it here as much as we do.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Lovely, quiet, tranquil spot for back to basics but with the luxury of a slightly erratic showers. Facilities were spotlessly clean. Views amazing, you can either see sea or rolling hills. Good spot for a 30/40 mins walk cross country to Saltdean Beach. Will be back.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2023

Definitely would like to come back! Stayed for 2 nights. Very clean. Lovely host. Great fire pits to rent. Good shower and washing up facilities. The view is brilliant. Nice walk to the coast and into town if you exit left out of the site. Plenty of green spaces for dogs! Thankyou!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024

No hot water on shower and water supply was intermittent. Also, no lights in shower area. Also, disappointed to pay £16 for fire starters when they can be bought in Newhaven for just £2. Price for stay was not too bad. Fun fire pits for hire. Great location.
