Lovely site, very well and unobtrusively run. Fantastic wilderness bits for kids. The Friday music night seemed to largely involve shouted choruses of Oasis, and our neighbours kept us up til 1 am yakking - but we were probably unlucky. Sad to see campers forbidden to use the footpath to local pub, because of littering (is this even legal?) Looking forward to going back.
Would heartily endorse all the previous positive comments. We were there over a fine weekend in August and there was still plenty of space for everyone. Beautiful setting, peaceful & the kids loved it.
A few reservations:
1) The owners make a big deal of being eco-friendly and all that, encouraging you to take your rubbish and recycling home. What this means in effect is that they don't provide rubbish or recycling bins. If you've a car full of kids and camping stuff you really don't want to have to take stinking rubbish bags away with you after your stay. Surely they could get something organised.
2) Not enough loos for the number of people. 'Eco-loos' pretty stinky and Portaloos vile in the dark. Should get their act together.
3) Had to queue 40 mins for the famous hog roast. Get there in time! Poor hygiene practices by the couple serving -- the guy cooking the meat breaking off to chop up unwashed lettuce without washing hands; the girl putting the meat & salad in the bread also handling money -- no gloves and no hand-washing. Great recipe to spread bugs! We survived though -- and the meat was delicious when we eventually got it.
This was a return trip to this site and I was disappointed. The lovely walk to the pub has been stopped (although I believe it is a public footpath) Many of the rope swings appear to be gone, including my daughters favourite that went over the stream. The TV room is no longer there although the table tennis facilities have improved.
Generally the site is more commercialised with 'breakfasts and hog roasts' at the weekend.It now has a reception where you have to check-in and be given a map of the site with the rules.Before this we had just arrived, chosen a pitch and paid when the logs had been brought round in the evening.
We still enjoyed the open fires but felt that the number of logs in each load had diminished.
The toilets and showers had not improved and were generally very muddy.
There are no shops or pub within walking distance and the site has no facilities to sell milk/bread.However, I expect this will change.
We found this site by chance and loved it for its simplicity, now we are not so sure.
We went to Wowo with a couple of other families, we had a lovely time BUT watch out for all the pot holes on the way down to the fields!
The porta loo toilet block, it didn't help that weather wasn't too good, but it was particularly unclean. No way of drying hands either so make sure you take a towel or some tissues with you! The showers in the portable bit were very, very, very hot and took quite a bit of adjusting to sort out, then only to have a trickle of water, no good for long, thick hair and certainly no good for children! BUT on the other hand the other toilet block seemed to be cleaned a few more times in the day and the showers were great! Again maybe a little too hot for little ones! The eco toilets.Well lets just say.You would need a mask to use them. They were full of flies and I gagged just as I was passing them! But they are out of the way and it is your choice!
It was great for the kids and great to have camp fires. My friends only introduced us to campfires last year after 12 years of camping and we are going away this weekend with a different lot of people and I am panicking that there will be no fire! The staff were brilliant and very helpful and always made sure you had plenty of wood for the evening, the guy even helped cover ours up and put it under the trees so it didn't get damp! It was only a fiver for a crate too!
The area is lovely, right near the Bluebell Railway, which we went on. And the pub that you can supposedly walk to, you now cant because of people that have stayed at this campsite have ruined it for others by dropping so much litter on the path that the Farmer has now said that no-one is allowed to walk through and you have to agree to that before pitching up. Apparently there is another way round but we didn't find it. BUT for a short drive The Sloop is definitely a pub to visit, staff were lovely, locals were lovely and food was good too. Dogs and children were very much welcomed too!
We went for a couple of nights camping with family,it was a relaxed place with no hassles and you could camp anywhere you wanted which was nice. There was no extra charge for gazebos and no restrictions on tent size. There were plenty of woods for the kids to explore with tyre swings and streams to cross. It was nice to have a camp fire in the evening but I would take wood with you because the amount they supply for £5 is not worth the money. There are two separate toilet and shower blocks which are ok but not the most modern of facilities. It is overall a good place to stay if you just want to chill out.
Just returned from another visit to WoWo. We have two small children (both under five) and whole family had a lovely time. Beautiful site, completely unspoilt. Great that you can choose your own pitch when you arrive and have campfires. Children had great time exploring the woods and fields, swinging on tyres and rope swings and paddling in the stream. Facilities are not luxurious but adequate - flushing toilets as well as two composting loos, washing up area, showers and laundry room. Friendly people, great atmosphere. Lots of places for families to visit locally - Bluebell railway next door, Winnie the Pooh country (site is in the middle of the Ashdown Forest), Forest Row (great pizzas at Java and Jazz and lovely old fashioned toyshop at Bramble Corner), Brighton and Sussex coast not too far. Not for you if you prefer lots of mod cons and facilities, a definite if you enjoy sitting in front of a campfire, watching your kids run around carefree.
Just back from another excellent weekend at this site. If you've got a group or a family, it doesn't really get much better.
Loads of space in 4 fields, trees, rope swings, woodland, campfires, fridges and freezers, eco-toilets, no music (except our acapella Micheal Jackson tributes) and a great pub a short walk away with really good food. They sell the basics and breakfast, tea, coffee etc.
An all round excellent place to spend some time, although three nights was just not long enough!
All the staff are warm and friendly and make you feel you are genuinely welcome!
We stayed in a yurt and it was an experience we can recommend to anyone and everyone! It was one of the most relaxing breaks we have had in a long time and hope to be back as soon as possible!
All good at WoWo, loved the laid back feel of the place, plenty of room, open fire pits and the facilities are rustic but OK. This site is best enjoyed by groups and large families.
Lots to do in the surrounding area but for us the highlights are Bluebell Railway and the trip to the local pub, The Sloop which serves decent food and has a beer garden, so OK for Kids. This is well signposted so you cant get lost but be sure to make the return in the dark by torchlight; classic.
Have been twice now, and the super friendly staff are always warm and welcoming. They often have cooked food available, but I think it's organised on an ad hoc basis by whoever happens to be staying in the place at the time. Some nice Spanish people did a traditional breakfast on the weekend mornings we were there, and there was a hog roast one evening.
The route to the nearest pub is clearly signposted, although it had stopped serving food by the time we got there. The walk there, through fields and bluebell woods, mustn't be missed, if you're there in spring, though. We also visited the only other thing in walking distance, the Bluebell Railway, a mecca for train spotters keen on seeing working steam engines.
Toilet facilities are fine, but showers could do with cleaning- the shower curtain had mould and was a bit icky. Sinks are available for washing up. They really need to install PIR switches though - I was frustrated to see all the lights on at 3am when I went to the toilet.
The reception sells basics like milk and butter and cheese but the nearest shop is a lengthy car drive away - unfortunate for us since we got public transport there. Speaking of which, the nearest train station is Haywards Heath, and there's a mini cab office just outside the station where you'll pick up a ride for £12 (a metered cab would charge about twice that). If you say you're going to Sheffield Park, it's on the left just before the Bluebell Railway entrance.
Several big fields means it's never busy, and there are fire pits or areas by each pitch. They come round a few times through the day to check if you have enough wood - £5 a box seems steep, but you do get plenty.
Recently returned from WoWo and we really enjoyed our stay, despite the rain. The staff are helpful and friendly, with a very handy person popping round a couple of times in the evening selling logs (but you can bring your own).
Location is beautiful, with a choice of 3 fields to stay in. One of the fields being quite large, with pitches only on one side, enabling the kids to run around (big and small!).
The field we stayed in was smaller, but still room for little 'un to fly her kite on a short line.
The pitches are well spaced apart and although they can fit quite a few tents in (no caravans in here!) they have very wisely decided to limit capacity. This means that even in the height of summer, there would not be any neighbours very close by. Due to popularity, it is a good idea to book in advance.
The showers are hot and free, and had great trouble getting my 6 year old out of them! Only downside was that within the cubicle, there was only one hook, so a bit tricky to hang clothes / towels up, but we managed. This apparently applied to the gents showers too.
There are 3 wash up points, providing roasting hot water.
Whilst we were there, they had a hog roast on the Saturday eve and a Spanish breakfast on Sunday morning. Did not try these as brought half the superstore with me!
Ground can get a bit quaggy so remember your wellies!
Stayed here for a weekend, hadn't booked in advance but think it would normally be a good idea. Lovely site, easy to find and lots of space. Open fire pits by tents. Very nice and owners / staff friendly and helpful. Quiet after midnight and lots of kids running about during the day. Toilet blocks quite basic and I guess very busy when the site is full, but cleaned regularly and plenty of hot water.
Lots to do in the local area but decided Bluebell railway just too pricey for us. Had a meal at Farmers Arms in Scaynes Hill, basic food but very welcoming and happy for the kids to run around everywhere
We visited on a bank holiday weekend but the site never felt crowded, even though it was busy. It felt very safe for our small children with plenty of space for them to run around and woods to make camps of their own. There are lots of tyre swings and some paddling streams in the woodland.
The highlights were being able to have a campfire and the glorious walk to the pub through the woods.
The staff are helpful and friendly and a trailer selling logs comes round in the evenings. Fridges are provided. The facilities are basic but fine. My only gripe would be that there is nowhere to throw away rubbish or recycling, and you are asked to take it all home with you. I can see what they are getting at, but I don't think it's practical, and and I think recycling bins should be provided at least.
Overall this is a fantastic site for families with it's acoustic music only policy, plenty of space and access to some beautiful countryside.
We stayed here the last weekend of August, first night we pitched up in the woodland area, lovely pitch with a ready built campfire area and bench's. This was a premium area and this was only available for the first night. We had a great night sat around the campfire chatting.
Next day we moved to the clover field, this was good too, although very damp with all the vegetation. Another lovely campfire, Nice to see all the other fire's dotted around the field, appeared almost medieval when you couldn't see the cars and tents.
Showers are basic but functional, muddy as it was a bit damp. Same with the toilets. 3 wash up sinks with hot water.
Sunday wasn't quite so fun as we were woke at 7am by rain, so we chucked everything in the back of the car and had breakfast back home.
All I all we had a great weekend, wood available from the site staff for the campfires at £5 a crate - we needed a couple of crates a night for a decent fire. Pretty site with woodland areas and a stream.
Wow - lovely. Was a bit put off when we first arrived as it looked very basic and to be fair it is - no shelter for washing up, loos and showers not brilliant but I had a fab time, really loved it and am looking forward to returning.
Really relaxed atmosphere, fantastic being able to have camp fires, plenty of space and other campers were also great. Only downside was the price of the logs - a bit steep.
