 We stayed here on our very first even outing in a caravan.
The site was peaceful and quiet and and very tranquil. The facilities were clean and very functional.
The entrance to the site is down a very very steep hill, which was fine getting into the site, but getting out would be a problem. However the owner of the site has a 4x4 and was happy to tow the van to the top of the lane for us.

We stayed here mid week in July so it was lovely and quiet only about half a dozen pitches taken. The woods behind were fantastic for kids to explore, couple of rope swings. Lots of signs saying No ball games No this and No that - felt a please wouldn't go amiss, really annoyed me! Toilet block basic but clean. Lots in local area to do, Bodiam castle, Battle Abbey - our son was in heaven!

Received a friendly welcome on arrival, with plenty of choice of a pitch. The site being split into 3 fields gives it a cosy feel. Toilets are basic and limited but the 20p gives you a decent shower - just don't go in the morning when everyone else does! Nice surroundings, short walk to the station for easy access to Hastings/Battle. Plenty of play space for the kids in relation to the size of the site. We had a very pleasant long weekend here.

Really lovely campsite and friendly helpful owner.
Nice pitches, although slight slope to the family field at least. Didn't bother us much, though things did seem to slide off the table, mostly late at night after a few glasses of wine!
Feels really off the beaten track which suited us perfectly. We took up four pitches in total and the owner didn't put anyone else in the pitch in our midst so we had plenty of space. Site was so nice that on one of the days we just stayed there and took the kids (ranging in age from 2 to 7) off on an adventure in the surrounding woodland which they loved.
There was plenty of space for kids to play while we were there but I think that was because lots of central pitches were empty.
Toilets/showers were fairly clean if not very modern. Only one shower for males and one for females (though there is a disabled one which you can use as a family shower too) so I'd imagine when the site is full that could get busy. None of this bothered us as the site was so magical, but if you are looking for 5 star facilities this wouldn't be for you.
Battle Abbey very near for a visit and we went to Bodiam Castle which is about 20mins away and absolutely fab - all the kids loved it.
All 4 separate parties in our group said they would go back to this campsite which is a good endorsement.

Nice site, not too big, large well-spaced and flat pitches. Some areas shady in the morning. Small play area in middle, fishing lake at one end. Site was busy as it was half term, but children generally well-behaved and night was peaceful. Toilet block cramped and to one side of site - a long way if your pitch was the other side. Men's had only 2 toilets + 1 shower (20p) - nice and hot but not very clean and not really enough for the size of the site.
Mostly tents - a few touring caravans but no statics. Good value - would go back, but remember to shower outside peak hours.

What a beautiful campsite and friendly owners/wardens! Wildlife is terrific, we spotted so many breed of bird and a white squirrel! Need to come back for bluebells. No problem with access and hard-standing was welcome. Great walks for the dogs too.

We came camping when the weather was pretty wet and miserable. But there were lots of things to do in the area to keep the kids entertained! The owner was very helpful and the site was simply beautiful. Pitch was not too wet or muddy considering the rain.
The toilet block had everything we needed and was very clean and there were notices around explaining the developments to be made with extra facilities next year.
The no-football was fine, especially as we've been to campsites where you constantly get battered.
Perfectly situated. Might come in a caravan next time because of the rain!
Will come again and would recommend.

We visited this site with a group of friends for a weekend. Pitches are quite well spread out and level. It is a peaceful, rural and pretty site with woodland all around. There are BBQs to borrow and the owners were friendly.
Although other reviewers have really loved this site unfortunately we cannot agree. The toilet block was really inadequate and not very clean. There is only one shower and it was so grubby no-one fancied a shower.
The facilities are not really enough for the size of the site. Those in the furthest field had quite a trek to the loos.
It does say no ball games but no-one took any notice of this. In fact one group were using the post with the 'No ball games' sign as a goalpost!
The single track private road in and out is extremely steep and twisty. Wouldn't be too keen towing a caravan on that.
A great site for visiting Battle and Hastings etc but wouldn't visit again due to the loos. It is a very popular site though as it's often fully booked.

Wardens friendly, however, facilities very poor. Only 1 shower in ladies and 1 in gents and just 4 toilets in each - inadequate for the size of the site - there seemed to be a queue most of the time. They were also not very clean. Showers cost 20p - I would rather pay a little extra on the site fees to have an unlimited supply of hot water, especially as the coin metre was outside the shower so you couldn't feed the metre without risk of exposing yourself!

This is an absolute lovely camp site, out the back of beyond and lovely and quiet. The toilet block was good, and so was the shop, could have been a bit better stocked though. The man who ran the site was very helpful. We would definitely go back there again.

This is a lovely site, in a beautiful setting. We had a very warm welcome from the owners who were helpful throughout our stay.
The adults only section is quieter and sheltered - if a little further from the facilities! The pitches here were smaller than on the main field but even when the site was advertised as being full, only half of them were in use, so I guess the owners recognise this.
Only one shower, but this is not a problem if you are prepared to shower in the evenings, and the facilities are very clean.
Would definitely recommend this site.

We booked last minute, arrived late, First time campers, and nothing was too much to ask reception.
The management team/owners of the site were welcoming, helpful and very friendly.
We pitched on the lower field, near to the small fishing lake, the pitch was ample enough for a large tent and 7 seat car with room to spare.
The main field looked well spaced out, with a small children's play area, not too cramped, with quite a few larger tents, but still room so you don't feel piled in on top of each other.
The shower facilities are simple but functional (keep your 20 pence pieces for the shower), there is an area for washing up, and a very handy washing machine and tumble dryer and iron.
Plenty of fresh water taps throughout the site, and rubbish bins.
Free BBQ's to borrow, again simple but functional ones (no snazzy gas powered ones)
The adult only area looked a bit shaded with trees surrounding.
Nice area for walking the dog, with plenty of local wildlife (we watched 4 badgers running around and 3 foxes playing nearby)
Overall a nicely located, peaceful, relaxing site, very impressed, and were coming back with the kids in August so watch out!
Would recommend

We agree with others on the welcoming. But do not forget your cards, if you have no cash.
For once this is a site that is not wholly for caravans. Caravans are in the minority. They are on lovely pitches which are level and overlook the main area.
The site is split into three parts, pond, main area and adults area.
We never saw the pond and angling area, so no comments on that.
The main area is dominated by the children's play facility. So if you do not like children do not book here! They often cry all night! Out of the weekends and children's holidays it is lovely and highly recommended.
The adults area, which we stayed in is very cramped, if you have a half decent tent and a car!. The managers are pretty flexible on things so people work it out amongst themselves. It was never a problem. The pitches are very uneven so good mattresses are a must.
Woodland walk is excellent, but not really for children, unless under close supervision (lots of fallen trees). Take jungle formula.those horse flies are mean. I am speaking from experience.
The toilet block and showers are basic but OK. There is only one male and one female shower. That is OK as we can all work around that (6am great for that early morning shower!).
New extension to the block is being built to be opened in 2007 for wheelchair users. Structure is there already.
In summary, a good site, which we would return to, but I guess they need to update things.
One final down side. Thumping rap music until 1 am at least. Not sure if it was from the site, but unlikely. Did not bother us but we were aware of it.

This is lovely site, set in a beautiful peaceful location. It is very friendly and the only downside is the toilets and showers that are VERY old and tatty. There is also only one shower that takes 20p coins and we often had to wait to get a shower.
The small lake is great for a bit of fun angling and the area is great for kids.

I would agree with previous comments about the site, small, friendly and quiet but I would like to add a slightly different view. The fishing lake is more of a pond and serious anglers would be bored. There is only one shower in each cubicle and only 3 basins - the shower is fine though and takes 20p's for the heater. My advice is get up early !
The site is safe but children could get a little bored - there's not much scope for cycling around the site or playing football. The woodland walk is OK though and Battle is only a 5 minute drive.
The owner is great and they do have a TV point - which you need as the signal is terrible - take a long coax with you.
Overall very satisfied but a week there would get a little boring if you have young kids (like us).
