About the site
Part of Pegs and Pitches Camping, this off-grid woodland haven is great for those looking to spend some time in nature. The setting is near Battle, famous for its 1066 history and an easy distance from London and the South Coast. Choose from forest tent pitches, where you can set up camp among the trees, and furnished bell tents, which offer a wild glamping experience. The bell tents come fully equipped with everything you need for a stay in the woods. You'll be surrounded by forest as you cook on your own campfire and enjoy a back to nature experience. For tent campers, there's the chance to pitch up among the lovely trees in natural clearings. While for those who really want to languish in seclusion, there are faraway pitches that are further from the facilities but have incredible valley views over Bracken Valley or Beech Creek Valley. All pitches are private, but some larger pitches are available for groups of families wanting to camp together. Bell tents are set in private glades and come with a firewood allocation, beds, a picnic table, camping chairs and cooking utensils. Each has a fire pit so you can roast marshmallows and cook delicious campfire meals. It's the perfect way to skip overloading the car, but it's still a wild experience, giving you the chance to get back to basics. The woodland is part of a privately owned estate in the High Weald that you are free to roam! Discover wildflower meadows and spot incredible wildlife, such as buzzards and barn owls. Cars are parked away from the camping area, allowing you to enjoy nature as it should be. Please note that the campsite is off grid so has no electricity.
Beech Estate Campsite is open from 28/03 to 31/10 in 2025 and from 27/03 to 25/10 in 2026. Pitches from £52/night for 2 people.
