  • Working farm site in a valley on the South Downs Way
  • In the South Downs National Park, a 20-minute drive from Chichester
  • Café at the entrance to the farm; campfires allowed on site
Soak up the valley views and get in some real quality time at Littleton Farm Campsite, a rural working farm site in the South Downs National Park. Based in a spacious valley that's home to fallow deer, roe deer and hares, this wildlife haven is 100 metres from the South Downs Way cycle path, making it a well-placed base for discovering the chalk downlands and sloping valleys around the national park. Treat your tummy to some TLC at the on-site café at the farm’s entrance – it serves up barista coffee and a nice selection of cakes and pastries for a tasty breakfast or to top up your energy reserves throughout the day. And if you want to fill your pockets with snacks to eat throughout the day, there's a village shop 10 minutes’ drive away. Building up an appetite for all this should be straightforward, as you can head out for hikes and mountain bike rides straight from the site. Plus, the site is family-friendly so the kids can tag along on the nearby countryside trails too. Facilities back at base include portable toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area.You may want to end the day with a campfire and stargazing on the site (which is located in a designated dark skies reserve), or you may want to head out instead to a local pub for a chilled drink. For the former, you can buy logs, kindling and firelighters on site; for the latter there’s a 16th-century pub-restaurant five minutes’ drive away – another place to relax and tattle about the day’s tales.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Facilities were fine and very scenic. Staff were helpful and friendly as well. Didn't use it but having a cafe onsite is a big bonus!

Disliked: Whilst it would have been nice to park closer to tent, it didn't tarnish the experience at all.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere with some beautiful scenery. Someone came round to check us in and offered us some wood and kindling for a small price to make a fire which was lovely. Facilities were clean and easily accessible. Plus the nice Cadence cafe at the entrance. We will be back 😊

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: An excellent camp site with vast pitch sizes, lovely rural surroundings and views. Peace and quiet. The staff are wonderful, stopping by each day to see if I needed anything (logs for the firepit etc). Hot showers included. As a single person, the bonus was the pricing basis on per person per night, making this wonderful place an affordable option. A brilliant base for exploring the area, with so much to see just a short distance away. Loved watching the wildlife, Red Kites over the pitches. Thank You Littleton Farm!

Disliked: Nothing at all!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A beautiful setting, the views are stunning. Surrounded by the call of buzzards, pheasants and birdsong. Plenty of space between other campers and great facilities. Right on the South Downs Way! A special place.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Super friendly reception and probably the most beautiful location for a campsite I have seen on the south east. Felt very far away from the modern world. I was the only camper that night and the owners made sure to let me know in advance should I have been wary of being alone. Showers were warm and coffee and Avacado toast was served by a cafe onsite. Really awesome stay I enjoyed it so much. Right on the south downs way too.

Local attractions

Before you get to the active stuff, perhaps a drink? Tinwood Estate (10 minutes' drive) runs vineyard tours for those of you who want to tell apart your rosé from your red. It’s not hard to track down a cutesy coffee spot in Chichester (20 minutes) – after you’ve visited the cathedral and shops, of course. Now that you’re properly fed and fuelled, you might want to practise your putting skills on the golf course at Cowdray House (20 minutes). It’s a fabulous setting for polo too, based on a country estate with heritage ruins. Where else is historic around here? Petworth (10 minutes), a market town with antique shops, hits the mark. The Goodwood Estate (15 minutes), too – this estate hosts horseracing events, golf and a flying school. Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) is another great spot – from here, boat trips depart to search for seals. Rather explore realistic buildings from between 950AD and the 19th century? Head to the Weald & Downland Living Museum (10 minutes' drive). West Dean Gardens (15 minutes) also has an Edwardian pergola, walks and garden courses.
