Situated within the South Downs National Park, only 10 miles from Brighton, Blackberry Wood is a truly unique camping and glamping site with private camping glades in a woodland setting, each with their own fire pitch for the essential campfire. Glamping options include a double-decker London bus, a converted Wessex helicopter, a gypsy caravan, an 'Eco Perch' log cabin and two incredible treehouses.
About the site
Situated within the South Downs National Park, Blackberry Wood is just 10 miles north of Brighton near the pretty village of Ditchling with its great country pubs and amazing Art and Crafts museum. The area is perfect for walking, cycling and hiking and the South Downs Way is within easy reach. London is only an hour away by train. For those who prefer more comfort, various glamping options including a converted London double-decker bus and a Wessex helicopter, plus a bright red glamping fire engine. Needless to say, these are immensely popular with families. Couples might prefer a romantic break in the gypsy caravan, tucked away in a corner of the site with its own outdoor kitchen. For more luxury, perhaps the most comfortable option is the Curvy Cabin - a fully insulated log cabin complete with shower room, toilet and kitchen. Or if you're feeling slightly more adventurous, the two incredible treehouses - Higgledy and Piggledy - should tick your boxes. Completely hand crafted and set up among the trees, they both come with shower room, toilet and kitchen, as well as beautiful terraces for al fresco dining.
