Just returned from an enjoyable few days at Fairfields. As 1st time campers the site staff were very helpful, as was a lovely fellow camper, who spotted us as novices and helped us set up. They were very flexible about where we could pitch the tent; even though it was a very busy weekend we felt there was plenty of room. We chose the site because of the animals and thought they would keep our small children entertained, which it did, providing a pleasant little walk round in the morning and before bed. The only downside was that there were only 3 showers in the ladies and the same in the gents which we had to queue for to use in the mornings. Overall a lovely site a well worth a visit.
I recently spent a long weekend staying at this delightful campsite. I found the facilities well maintained and the staff friendly and helpful.
For some the site may lack some of the facilities and entertainment, however I found this did not detract from the pleasurable experience I had staying here.
I guess the one downside is the lack of local shops and restaurants. I did have a takeway fish and chips at the local chippie which I found much to be desired and expensive.
Overall though I thoroughly recommend this site and shall return myself.
Just back from an Easter break at Fairfields Farm. Its not a bad site at all really. Side to side the (level) pitches are fine but back to back the pitches are on top of each other and the pitch across from you seemed close also, even though the 'road' separated you. Some landscaping wouldn't go amiss.
The facilities were adequate, though with only 3 showers in the mens room, I suspect a queue if the site was very full. It claims 16 amp on the EHU post but in actuality is only 10 amp.
The best parts of this site for me were the staff, especially the on-site warden, and the walk round the lake. This took in the pens of various farm animals, peacocks, guinea pigs and shetland ponies, which could be fed with food bought from reception.
Eastbourne is 5 mile away and a £15 taxi fair if you want a big night out. I highly recommend The Yew Tree in Arlington for food which is in the middle of nowhere, 11 miles away. Well worth the effort and booking is advisable.
A perfectly fine site for a weekend break which I'd happily return to.
Overall a great site and obviously very popular as everyone we spoke to were re-visiting. All facilities very clean and in good working order. Good sized pitches nicely landscaped, very pleasant and helpful wardens. We were lucky to have a pitch near to the large pond and the beginning of the pet enclosures. The pets are the stars of course and watching their antics at feeding time was a hoot.
As bus pass holders we would have liked to see some bus timetables available and the wardens didn't seem to know much about the local buses. I agree the shop stocks very little, but the local village has a post office come general store and there are large supermarkets within a short drive, or 15 minute walk provided you don't buy too much.
We thoroughly enjoyed our six nights at Fairfield, will definitely stay there again and will recommend it to our friends.
First time camper arrived at Fairfields Farm by pure chance!
We headed down from Suffolk and it was the first camp site we found in the area. I Booked in for 2 nights with no problems, 1 x Tent, 2 Adults, 1 child and the dog. We got off to a bad start by pitching our tent in the wrong place but the owners were very understanding of our limited camping knowledge, which saved us from having to dismantle the tent! Thank you.
The site has plenty of space. A small animal farm on site was ideal for kids and parents alike, as was the fishing lake. Shop on site had the basics, only a 5 minute walk into village for the morning papers or fish and chip shop.
Showers were always clean and hot, unfortunately the Gents urinals were out of order, so there was sometimes a que for the loos. Good communal washing up area. Warden on site very helpful, as were shop staff.
Kids were allowed to play games which was good.
Nearby train line and industrial estate made some noise but nothing major.
Downside for myself was to go anywhere you needed the car, not much within walking distance, but Eastbourne only 2 miles away as was a huge ASDA or Mini Tescos. Beachy Head Cliffs is well worth the visit. Very loud seagulls every morning but most people didn't notice them (I am a light sleeper and forgot my earplugs!)
Overall for our first camping trip this site ticked all the boxes as we ended up staying on for extra day/night.
Don't disagree with the other comments about noise from adjacent industrial estate, lake, animals, shopping etc, and with all of Eastbourne on the doorstep. But we felt very cramped in the main field, with random mixing of vans and tents. Sufficient space per pitch, but felt very hemmed in, and couldn't avoid overlooking neighbours more than preferred. Okay for a night or two.
Fairfield’s Farm is a very friendly campsite, we stayed in a tent, and the grass fields were flat and perfect for pitching and very quiet.
We had pitch 11 which was a good pitch for us near to loos and showers, washing up area,
They have a children friendly animal farm too and our children loved it, animals include Shetland Ponies, Goats, Sheep, Pigs and Piglets, Cows, Ducks, Geese,
They have a little shop on site that sells the basic stuff for camping also food for the animals. The toilet blocks were clean, the ladies had 3 showers with un timed running hot water hot water, Same for the gents. They have a washing machine and tumble drier to use for a small fee, and there were good recycling facilities on site. The warden was very helpful when a problem came about, The fishing lake was free and had a fair amount of Carp, Tench, Pike, and Roach at good sizes which we all enjoyed.
There is a local fish and chip shop a few minutes walk from the site that cook on order, highly recommended.
The train station was good and very near to site good to leave car at site.
Nearby is a shopping centre with a Tesco Metro Iceland Sweet shop Pound shop etc.
We will be looking at returning to Fairfield's Farm again.
We have just returned from 3 nights staying at Fairfield. We were lucky enough to get a pitch on the main site, the overflow field was further away from the amenities. The site was busy (Bank Holiday Weekend) but we didn't have to wait long(if you needed to) for a washing up sink or the showers.I will say though that the showers and toilets do need updating, they are not very spacious and the tiled floors get very slippery!
We visited the duck pond and they also have pigs, goats and ponies.
We think it was good value for money and was in a good location. Lots of local grocery shops to choose from.

Highly recommended to campers who want a peaceful relaxing break.
Just got back from Fairfields and as first time campers we thought it was a lovely site. The children loved the animals and the camp warden was extremely friendly. Everywhere was very tidy and clean and beautifully landscaped and the chippy in the village was extremely good.
We were in the top field and it was really windy as there is no tree wind break; however we did see that a row of young trees has been planted, some have died and will really need replacing as this field really is very exposed. Its also quite a way from the toilet block which wasn't so great in the night but you can't have everything and it was my only real problem. Probably more hardy campers than us can last longer or perhaps we'll just invest in a toilet tent!
The main park had the electrical hook-ups, we in the top field were roughing it. All in all a very nice site which we'll definetly recommend to friends.
The site itself was very pleasant quite an idyllic location what with the farm animals and the resident ducks that wander around the site. (just the ducks that wander around, not the animals) The staff were quite helpful especially when the power went out!
The chippy down the road was fantastic & castle teas rooms well worth a visit.
Toilet facilities were quite basic but all the same acceptable. The stay was very nice would certainly recommend this site. Thanks
Found staff to be friendly on arrival and plenty of space. Was very disappointed with the toilet / shower facilities. Only 3 showers in each (ladies / mens) which isn't many for the size of the site which meant long queues at peak times. The men found the shower head to be very low and the water sprayed out at about chest level for the shortest person in our group - not ideal! The water temperature fluctuated depending on who was using the sinks so you often got a blast of very hot or very cold water during your shower. The whole block is very dated and really could do with a revamp. Ladies toilets seemed cleaner than the mens but not by much.
We camped at the back of the site and found the noise from the industrial estate came all day and all night, even over the bank holiday weekend. We even got sprayed with water over the hedges from a jet wash cleaning a hire truck!
Apart from the above found the campsite to be very pleasant and well located for seaside resorts. The farm animals were an added bonus with the ducks coming to say hello in the mornings.
Arrived the third week of August Stayed in a large tent with electrical hook up (pitch 11) The weather was a little damp to start off with which did not help the ground, it was quite soggy and did not dry up over the three nights even though it did not rain again. The original pitch (12) they wanted us on had large puddles on, so we asked to move, which they were happy for us to do. The site itself was ok. It did not have any play park for the kids and the tent spaces were a little 'short' but we were ok with that. The toilets were a little old but clean whenever we used them. A nice thing about the showers however was that it did not have those silly push button arrangements and could have an uninterupted shower! Adjacent to the site was their other field which had a couple of ponds with ducks and geese. There were also a variety of other friendly animals to pet and feed around the 'farm' site.
Now a note of caution, If you want a quiet camping experience this site may not be for you as it is next to a industrial site and a train line which can be a little noisy from 7am, however this did not really bother us, apart from the wasps which we think the pitch must be next to a nest! Finally we enjoyed our stay overall but not sure about if we would return.
We spent 10 days here and although we did have a great time (despite the weather!) I did have a few issues with the campsite. The first problem was that we were positioned opposite the shower block which is not a problem except you do get people hanging around having loud conversations late at night over the washing up (situated next to the block) Plus you get what seemed like all the children from the campsite kicking balls and cycling around the area, even though there was a sign up saying not to do this, there was not really anywhere else for them to play. The children were up way past dark making loads of noise with not a parent in sight, one of them scratched my car with a bike handle and another broke next doors guide rope. Although this is not the campsites fault it would have been nice for the warden to come and have a word! The shower block desperately needs a face-lift as the doors look like they have been taken from a 1980's public toilet block and although there was always hot running water, the toilets or the showers never looked clean. Next door is the industrial unit, not too much of a problem but during the week you do have the snacks wagon arriving at 8am playing a lovely tune - plus the bleeping noise of reversing lorries! In all not a bad site for the money but if it's a quiet, peaceful holiday you are after this is probably not the best site for you.
