About the site


If you're looking for a peaceful, off-grid getaway with plenty of walking routes nearby, this is just the ticket. Set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the site enjoys glorious views across the surrounding countryside, great for watching the sunset. With over 12 acres of grassy meadow to choose from, you're free to pitch your tent wherever you please. Grass pitches are non electric and campers are welcome to pitch together with friends and family. If glamping is more your style, book one of the three luxury bell tents, furnished with a cosy double bed, chairs, rugs, a mirror and bohemian touches. Bed linen, crockery, cutlery and a firepit with grill are all included in the price. Bell tents are fully furnished and sleep two adults, however, they are also large enough to sleep two children. Two roll-out mat camp beds are provided for kids to sleep on, but you will need to bring your own pillows and bedding for the children. Sustainability is a huge focus for this site, so expect eco-friendly facilities, off-grid camping (no WiFi or electricity) and an abundance of nature on your doorstep. Fire pits are provided to all guests free of charge, and logs can be purchased onsite, so be sure to bring along the marshmallows. Dogs are very welcome but must be kept on leads at all times.

A note from the site themselves...

At our campsite, we're all about keeping things green and friendly to our planet. Sustainability is a big deal for us.

We're all about recycling here. You'll find us sorting through waste to make sure we're doing our bit for the environment. But it's not just about waste. We're always working on making the site better for wildlife. Think owl and bat boxes and magical woodland boundaries.

We are also always happy to hear new suggestions on how we can be even better for the planet. We hope to welcome you soon, Maria and Raf

Small Tent - Large Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

Cannot recommend this place enough! From start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From lovely little touches like the toothbrushing hut and the warm outdoors showers, it was all round a fabulous stay. You can tell a lot of effort and care has gone into this campsite and we can't wait to bring back family and friends!
