We have visited this site several times over the last few years and recommended it to our daughter and her partner for their first caravan holiday. They really loved the site, particularly the nature trails that provided some shade in the recent heat.
They enjoyed the burgers in the Lakeside Café and the short walk into the village where the old pub has been turned into a very convenient local Coop.
Although the site was full, at no time did they have to queue for showers, which have been refurbished since our last visit and so pleased to see they are push button free!
All in all, a lovely little site, great location and you couldn't meet more friendly or helpful wardens in Graham and Steffi. We will definitely be returning soon.
We stayed here as a group of 22 pitches for a Geocaching event. The campsite is clean, well organised, well equipped and well located with a nice pub in walking distance.
My fellow campers (including those not in our group) were quiet and considerate.
My only complaint is that they don't allow campfires, which to me is just a requirement for camping! :)
Straight forward drive from Tonbridge and no horrible narrow roads where you would hate to meet another vehicle head on. That said do not take Halls Hole Road you will regret it if driving anything bigger than a VW camper van, take a slightly longer route and turn left at Calvery Road/Bayhall Road by the Royal Oak Pub.
We managed to stay on the hottest day of the year so far so were really buzzing, 26 Celsius, no clouds and little wind. Wardens were great and gave us a choice of sites on the electric grass pitches.
Late arrivals who had trouble with the electrics were not a problem for them and Chinese takeaways even delivered to their pitch. A pub/cafe pretty much on site was an added bonus serving breakfast, lunch and dinner for those who wish to avoid cooking.
There was a bit of a slope for a quite a few of the sites so during busy periods it would pay to have levellers as you would really want them. If you enjoy sleeping in Saturday football in the field next door is going to stop that, in the end I put on iTunes to drown them out. Hay fever sufferers may want to keep away from the tree line.
The field area is quite dark great for stargazing. I think another reviewer wanted lights, bring a head torch! There are not that many sites that enable you to see such a great view of the stars so close to built up areas so vote to keep it dark.
Another reviewer thought the site was a bit pricey and I can see where they are coming from however for convenience, an easy drive and local amenities you may find yourself returning again and again, I'm sure we will as this site is head and shoulders above some of the other local sites whilst noting we had perfect weather and a site which was only a quarter full, the other part of the site, hard standing, looked totally full though so cannot really comment on that as their experience would be completely different and I'm sure if the site had been packed solid in the field our experience would have been different too.
Decided to visit here as our (probably) last weekend trip of the year
Easily booked up through Pitchup. Electric grass pitch (all the hardstandings were gone but I prefer grass anyway).
Wasn't very busy at all, but a well maintained campsite, clear markings as to where pitches were, Small play area for kids, but also the fishing lakes (and cafe) and Riding stables near by. Made very welcome when we arrived at receptions (and small shop). Toilets/showers were clean with plenty of warm water (and not 'push' showers). Only problem was the light sensor for the washing up area was set too low so I was nearly washing up in darkness before the lights finally came on.
I think it was peculiar to our pitch, but we were quite far from the electric point. My 25M cable only got halfway and that was by cutting across an unoccupied static pitch. I was about to go to reception to ask to borrow an extension lead of move to another pitch when our neighbour lent us a spare lead, so was all OK in the end.
Grass area was gently sloping, nothing our small ramp couldn't sort out, although some looked a bit worse, and at the top side it looked like the pitches were double stacked off the road which could be a bit 'busy' when full and might make towing a unit through to the electric pitches a challenge - pitches themselves were large though. I did think it was at the top end of what I would be willing to pay for the facilities.
Small village shop in Horam or 5 mins to Heathfield for Waitrose /Sainsbury's /Coop.
Next time we will take fishing rods and bikes for the lakes and the Cuckoo trail.
We were here in July and the weather was quite warm, this is a nice site, very level, clean and tidy, the toilet/shower block is second to none, the staff are very friendly.
It’s also quite close to Horam village, so anything you need is there, even a dentist (that was handy).
The only (small) downside is that there is not a bar/restaurant on site, but there is one nearby, but it closes early,
I’ve given some points as 9, this purely because the site does not have its own bar/restaurant, but we will be back
This was our first visit since the major upgrade of a few years ago and what a pleasant change. The site is very attractive and we were given a friendly welcome on arrival. Our pitch was as flat as could be expected on a sloping site such as this with plenty of room all around.
The facilities block is crystal clean and though small is very spacious inside. The gents block only had 2 loos, 2 washbasins and 2 showers and fortunately the site wasn't too busy that one had to wait. However, I wouldn't like to be there when the site is full in peak holiday season. The only criticism of the block was that it was freezing cold underfoot. I think there's supposed to be underfloor heating but it certainly wasn't switched on! Mind you, compared to the old block which didn't even have a door.
We had a nice walk around the nature trails and a good coffee in the adjacent café and the local shops just about sufficed for provisions. All in all a nice break.
Just returned from a 4 night stay. Lovely site. Allowed to pitch together as we were a two tent family. Given our first pitch we thought would be too small for our tents plus too near to the road for our kiddies, staff friendly and happy to move us. Moved to bigger pitches near to the play area for the kids and the shower block, perfect. Toilets and showers adequate and clean, only had to wait one day for approx 5 mins but site was busy. Water pressure could have been better as previously mentioned but noticed the utilities blocks had solar panels so if doing your bit to save the planet its a compromise. The reception shop adequate in case of emergencies like forgetting the tea bags! They also had little activities sheets for the kids which my girls loved looking for the fairies and finding the insects/ bugs around the campsite, simple ideas which kept mine amused and got prizes too. We didn't eat at the lakeside cafe but walked up there to get ice creams, looked a nice bar and appeared popular especially around meal times. The nature trails were great for the kids, took a picnic and walked through the woods and fields which took us a couple hours. Tried the local fish and chip shop The Trawler men, portions were huge. This was a popular site for families, the chat went on till late but settled. Not rowdy or loud music. Lots of kids running around, playing ball games but always away from the cars and tents and always respectful of people walking past. It was lovely to see people having some good old fashioned outdoor fun. Will definitely be returning especially having just noticed the 5% discount for NHS/ forces staff.
What a pleasant site to visit, everything is clean and tidy, the pitches are of a good size, the fishing is good, the location is very handy for visiting the coast, and the staff on the site are really helpful, they seem like they enjoy helping the campers, this was a return visit and it wont be our last. One of if not the best site we have stayed on.
We booked very last minute & rang up; they were very friendly & helpful on the phone. Easy to find campsite. When we arrived they went out of their way to give us a larger pitch for our caravan & were very pleasant. Toilets & showers were clean even though it was a busy weekend. Plenty of space on the pitches. Quiet at night. Lovely walks from the campsite on the nature trails.
We spent three nights on this site on an all-weather pitch which has 16 amp electrics and water. On arrival we received a very warm welcome. The facilities at this end of the park are modern, impeccably clean, but comprise only 2 toilets & two showers on 'each' male/female side so shower-run timing was imperative to avoid a queue.
The site is about 400 yards from Horam, which has a shop, post office and a chippy. The village also enjoys a half-hourly bus service on the Eastbourne- Heathfield-Tunbridge Wells route.
Fans of Google Maps should note that the Horam Inn has closed, so the only source of a meal in the village is Wessons, which is a 'bikers' cafe. The welcome and ambience are genuine and the steak and ale pie to die for!
Five minute walk from the campsite away from Horam along the A267 is the May Garland Inn - a traditional pub serving a good range of ales and excellent food.
The site itself is adjacent to the Horam Lakes complex which boasts fishing lakes, nature trails, a farm museum plus a lakeside cafe with an extensive menu offering tasty food.
We booked and arrived on the same day! We were greeted very warmly by the wardens (who had only taken the helm a week earlier) and directed to our pitch.
First impressions were that we were all pitched rather close together and I think that a few spaces between units would improve the 'feel' of the place. There were some enormous tents and caravans - we weren't asked how big our tent was - and were rather dwarfed by a caravan next to us.
We were in the further field with the older loo block, which was clean but dated. No queues even though the site was virtually full. There is only one water point in this field, on the side of the loo block.
There were some tents pitched together who were very loud on Friday night, playing music and shrieking children but they did gradually quieten down about 11pm. Quite a lot of early morning noise too.
There is a small on site play area, which our daughter ignored, but a much bigger one before the entrance to the site, which was excellent. There is also a huge field for dog walking/kite flying. The lakeside cafe didn't attract us really, all a bit ramshackle looking. There is no shop, but they sell ice creams and freeze freezer blocks.
We probably won't go back as it's a much bigger and noisier site than we prefer, but it is in a beautiful location and we had an enjoyable weekend exploring East Sussex.
Helpful staff. Spacious camp-site. We were on a good-sized hard standing pitch handy for the freshwater tap. The site manager pitched us in the first field as he said there was a large group of French cyclists in the far field, and, as we needed to be able to come back fairly late in the evening after visiting our son, we didn't want to be disturbing anyone. Facilities are modern and clean - perhaps a few more loos/basins would be useful in high season, but we had no problem as it was before the schools broke up for summer. Horam is right on the doorstep, with shops and pubs, and Heathfield is just up the road for Sainsburys, etc. A good location for touring the area - good for cycling, etc. We will return - pity they are not open all year!
