About the site
This welcoming camping and glamping site is set on a 140-acre family farm in the low Weald of East Sussex. Head here for sweeping country views, sheep in the paddocks next door and fantastic walking trails nearby, including the Cuckoo Trail. Suitable for tents and small campervans, there are 42 pitches available on the camping field, each with plenty of space to enjoy a restful break. All pitches are first come, first serve. It wouldn't be camping without a campfire, either! The site has fire pits to borrow, and log bundles are available onsite to keep the fire burning. For glamping, experience a relaxed rural escape in one of the fully furnished bell tents. Except for a good book, all you need to bring is yourselves! Sleeping up to two adults and three children, there are three beautiful bell tents - Lovelily, Ruby and Zephyr. All are fully furnished with a king-size bed and a few other home luxuries, including a kitchen box with essentials (plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery, pots and pans etc.) and a picnic table outside. Sorry, no dogs are allowed.

Very friendly owners on hand to help and offer suggestions for local places to visit. 3 camping fields and a huge wildflower meadow to wander through. Fire pits to hire and limited light pollution - a very relaxing site! I would definitely recommend.
Loved every minute!

I cannot recommend Fontmills enough, we had such a lovely weekend and I want to book to come again! Steve and Nicola are delightful hosts, and want to make your stay as great as possible. Our highlights were giving Wotsit the goat a good scratch and enjoying the stunning wildflower meadow just next to the campsite, and we had plenty of space to play lawn games. The facilities are great, always very clean and had everything you need and more. Can't wait to come back!
