The gentle rustle of South Downs grassland greets you at Long Acres, where rolling chalk hills form an ever-changing backdrop of light and shadow. This straightforward site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to one of England's newest national parks, where ancient bridleways and beech hangers lie ready for exploration just beyond your pitch.
Walkers and cyclists will appreciate the year-round access, making this a practical base whether you're tackling the South Downs Way in summer or seeking crisp winter rambles through quieter countryside. The location puts you within reach of both dramatic escarpments and market towns that punctuate this distinctive landscape of chalk and flint.
Long Acres keeps things refreshingly uncomplicated, offering touring pitches without the bells and whistles of larger sites. It's worth checking about campfires on arrival if an evening around the flames appeals. The overall feel is unpretentious and relaxed—a place where the South Downs themselves provide the entertainment, and your pitch is simply a comfortable launching point for discovering them.
