The light filters green through the canopy first thing, then opens up across meadow grass still damp with dew — this is proper Sussex countryside camping, edged by chestnuts and far enough from the road to feel properly tucked away.
Chestnut Meadow works for families wanting space to spread out, couples after a quiet weekend under canvas, and anyone touring East Sussex in a campervan or caravan who'd rather wake up in a field than a car park. You're in the heart of the South East here — 1066 country, with the Downs within reach and the coast not far when you fancy salt air and shingle.
Facilities are straightforward: toilets and showers onsite, the essentials covered without fuss. Campfires are worth checking when you arrive — policies can shift with the season and the weather. The vibe's peaceful rather than bustling, the kind of place where you actually hear birdsong over tent zips.
