About the site
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.

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.

Amazing site, toilet's are spotless, didn't use the showers as pressure not good being on top of the downs, but only went for a couple of nights so not a problem.
Highly recommend it.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024
Stayed for one night to visit the Saltdean Lido nearby for their dog event.
It was in a really convenient location, near to Peacehaven & Rottingdean beach. The Tesco express is just a 15 minute walk, which was great as we forgot a few bits.
Clean showers & toilets. Great stock of BBQ pans, huge field with many pitches. The view was just insane, we were very lucky to get a great pink sunset which overlooked Peacehaven and the sea.
Also a great view of the surrounding hills. When driving in and out we passed lots of cute animals including alpacas!
