 We have used this site many times with groups of friends and family and we can honestly say it is one of the most stunning sites on the south coast!
Steve and family are very accommodating and are often seen driving around the field with fresh supplies of fire wood and checking everyone is okay!
We look forward to our annual stay next year!

Nice quiet, picturesque site.
The only facility is freshwater so take everything else you need, and take a loo too.

They didn’t respond to email, usually I would just turn up but I don’t know if they are open due to COVID. I didn’t go as it’s a long way to go and not be open.
I love the camp site, but toilets sometimes dirty and too much rubbish. But because of the type of camp site people should be encourage to take their rubbish home.

Great place. Middle of nowhere. Beautiful views from one side of the site.
Surrounded by forest on the other three sides.
Clean portaloos. Everyone was friendly. Mission to get up the track but all good fun.
Can't wait to go back.

We were backpacking along the South Downs Way and stopped for one night - myself and two daughters.
This site is in a great location and once there and sorted it was a really nice night. However, there were a couple of issues with the site which made it not great for backpacking, which is a shame because it is in the ideal location for backpackers on the SDW.
One problem is the fact that you need to check in at the farmhouse, but the site itself is a mile up the track to the north. If you are coming in from the north (as we were) this means a 2 mile round trip from the point you pass the camping field itself. We did not realise this (camping field not marked or visible when coming down main path from woods) and so all made the 2 mile round trip (would have left rucksacks and girls in field if I'd known).
Second issue for backpackers is the water issue. There is a tap just before you climb up the final slope to the camping field (not actually in the field itself as implied by the person we checked in with), but this is subject to water pressure issues and only worked in the morning. The alternative tap is at least halfway back to the farm. Had we been told this at the farm it would have saved a further mile round trip to collect water for cooking that evening as we could have collected it on the return leg back up to the field. Most of this is particularly an issue for backpackers who a) don't carry large amounts of water, b) don't have a vehicle to use and c) arrive from the opposite direction to those coming in with vehicles if on SDW.
However some plus sides. The farmer who came round later in his pickup (seemed to be the main guy) was very friendly and helpful. It is a beautiful spot. They allow fires and seem pretty laid back. I would definitely go there again backpacking, but now would know how to improve things.
A sign at the sheep troughs pointing to the campsite and where water can be found, and ideally a concession for backpackers to pitch up and pay when the owner comes round in the evening would improve it no end for backpacking, for which otherwise it is ideal. More reliable water supply close to the site would also be great, but that seemed to be genuine problem with mains water pressure and therefore not an easy fix.
Pricing at many campsites (this one included) never seem to take account of the special case of backpackers - far smaller footprint, no car, usually only on the site for minimal time etc. Would be nice to see reduced price for backpackers more widely than just the well trodden backpacker routes - and even there it seems to be less common than it once was. Why is that?

A lovely camp site with fantastic views and plenty of walking paths.
Access to the field is by a very bumpy and long track. If you are in a 4x4 no problem but if not it will take a while to reach the field.
Just before you reach the field, stop and fill up your water storage. As this is the only tap on site.
Portaloos are the olny facility on site but are clean.
But who needs all that when the views are this good. Basic camping in a beautiful location.

This basic campsite is a unspoilt rolling field just a few minutes walk from the South Downs Way and initially promised a tranquil weekend, taking in wide views to the west and no road noise.
Easy to pitch and with random firepit scars, we settled down and ordered wood for the pit. Unfortunately as it turned out, too close to a large group of campers who partied into the night on Friday and Saturday.
This can happen when there is a hands off approach from the farmer, the site is cheap to stay in and its a beautiful summer weekend! I like to think people can still be considerate, so come on guys, follow the camping rules and keep it quiet after sundown.
We will still come back, remembering to fill up our water before getting into the field and choosing a place to pitch carefully.

As others have said, a fantastic place to get away from it all. All you get are well maintained, and surprisingly clean porta-loos, water tap and a lot of peace and quiet. Great place for a one or two night stay.
Fantastic views and a campfire in the evening - real camping. Yes, it is a long and bumpy track, but if you come prepared there is no need to leave during your stay, plenty of walks on the doorstep, or just sit outside and enjoy the view and peace.
(I can only give 1 out of 10 for facilities, as there are none to speak of - but that is a positive in this case!)

Lovely basic site in the middle of nowhere. Water and portaloos only.
Open fields, woods, campfires and just the planes heading to and from Gatwick as entertainment.
No phone signal, no wifi, perfect for a peaceful getaway.
Track to the site is flinty and potholed, take care and try to drive on the ridges. Well worth it though.

We stayed here before a wedding and chose this site based on its location 5 miles from the venue.
We knew there would be very few facilities here so chose to relocate to another site with showers, plumbing etc. I am glad I only had to bring my car up the track twice, it is a proper farm track and not suitable for cars with little ground clearance!
If you want to get away from it all, are totally self sufficient and want total isolation then this site would be perfect. If you want a certain level of comfort when you go camping then this is not the site for you
