The hiss of a camp stove at dawn, woodsmoke drifting through hawthorn hedges, and the soft green roll of Sussex downland stretching away beyond your guy ropes — Foxhole feels like proper old-school camping, the kind where you pitch where there's space and nobody's numbered your square of grass.

This is a site for anyone who wants simplicity without hardship: tent campers after a quiet weekend, families with campervans who don't need a resort, tourers happy to unhitch and settle in for a few nights. You're in East Sussex, so the South Downs are close, and the coast isn't far when you fancy salt air and shingle. It suits people who know what they're doing with a tent peg and don't mind a bit of DIY charm.

You've got toilets and showers onsite — the basics sorted — and campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is low-key and unpolished in the best way, more about the landscape and the lack of fuss than fancy facilities.
