Liked: Located about 10 minutes drive from Rye in the East Sussex countryside, this campsite also had great facilities - a microwave and freezer to 4 showers, the host also showed us around the facilities and talked us through how to get into Rye on local buses (which was just outside the site too). The campsite is very family orientated and relaxing, we stayed for 2 nights but could have stayed longer. Would recommend this to anyone travelling as a couple or family!

Liked: Great welcome, really great facilities, peaceful and spotless. Lovely cross country walk to Rye (50 mins) or suggested cycle route avoiding the main road. The Oak pub up the road is friendly and we enjoyed live music which was unexpected. If you want somewhere to camp in beautiful surroundings with easy access to rye this is perfect. We really loved our stay and cannot recommend the site enough 10/10 👍👍

Unpowered grass tent site (two person)
Liked: What a Gem. Beautiful little site. 2 fields all grass. 1 has steeper slope, pitching is around edges of fields so even when full you have space. Not packed in like sardines which can happen in some campsites. No shop and nothing on site for children to do. Great for familes who love being outside in nature. Remember its a grass field so can get muddy when raining. Great walks and cycle rides around the countryside can even walk to Rye or take the bus, it stops outside campsite. Also bus or car drive to Hastings or Camber if you need to find amusments shops and beach. The 3 showers and 4 toilets were very clean and good tempreture in showers. 3 sinks in washing up area with liquid supplied if you forget yours. Plug socket to charge phone or inflate your bed, great if you not got electric. Nice social place to chat with others while washing up,oh fridge/freezer and microwave too! Lots of lovely unexpected touches. Great surroundings, peace and quite. Although on a main road the traffic noise really was very minimal day or night. Also not a reflection on the site or service recieved. The owners were very helpful, friendly and attentive.

Liked: Liked how peaceful the site was. Toilets and showers very clean. Loved the washing up area. Generally loved the feel of the site overall. Liked that the Oak pub was a short walk up the road which served lovely food. Finally loved that you could walk into Rye across the fields from the camp site. Overall a lovely campsite.
