Park Farm Caravan and Camping

The soft roll of the South Downs rises just beyond the hedge line, and on still mornings you can hear skylarks lifting over the fields before you've unzipped the tent.

This is proper working farm camping in the heart of East Sussex, and it suits anyone after a straightforward pitch without the frills — tourers who like room to spread out, families happy with simple facilities and space to roam, couples touring the Downs with a campervan and a good map. The location puts you within easy reach of the South Downs Way and the patchwork of woods and villages that make this corner of Sussex so gentle on the eye. It's open all year, so you'll find winter campers here too, the sort who don't mind mud on their boots.

Facilities are kept simple — toilets and showers onsite, the basics done well. Ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can flex depending on the season and conditions. It's a quiet, unpretentious spot with a working-farm feel, the kind of place where you're left to get on with it.
