Liked: Lots of space and beautiful views, so you can feel as if you're almost camping in the wild. Lyndsey was very welcoming and helpful and I felt really safe staying here as a solo female camper. I'll definitely be back again.

The Roughs non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful countryside and views, plenty of space and very quiet midweek. We stayed in the Roughs which is a huge field with pitches dotted around the edge. Lovely walk to the pub in Elsted. It has a very pleasant beer garden overlooking the South Downs hills. We enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evenings looking at the stars and watching the moon rise over the trees (it was clear the day after the supermoon). We didn’t end up going in the reservoir due to the weather (and mud), but could see it would be very attractive in warmer weather. Lovely walks up in the Downs. The National Trust Harting Down has a carpark and is a good place to start. We also visited Uppark (National Trust) which was beautiful. Lyndsay is very friendly and full of information. We also enjoyed Cowdray Farm shop and Cafe in Midhurst. Lovely spot for lunch or coffee.
Disliked: We’ve never stayed somewhere without running water and did miss having hot showers but it was such a lovely site it was worth it for a few days. There are bucket showers available with water bowsers near by.
