Wowo is a family orientated campsite in the heart of sussex surrounded by beautiful countryside. We specialise in the things that we think are essential to great camping here at Wowo: 1. Campfires - We think camping just isn't the same without a crackling campfire to sit around when it gets dark, cook on and keep you warm. 2. We are a family campsite - children and dog friendly, allowing families to camp together in groups. 3. We have a varied selection of Mongolian Yurts for those campers looking for added luxury whilst retaining the rustic style of the outdoors. All of this is surrounded by our beautiful Sussex countryside with a small Brook that runs through the centre of the campsite and provides water edge camping. Our special Tipi Trail is woodland camping at its best also nestled alongside the Brook.

Route directions

Wowo is only 30 minutes from Gatwick and also 30 minutes from Brighton - a perfect location perhaps for people attending the Olympics. We'd like to encourage you to use public transport for endless reasons we hope you are all aware of. If all of your group travel to us via public transport and not a single friend joining you brings a car, then we will give you a 10% discount on your stay. Ask reception for more details. The Bluebell railway is almost right next door to our farm. Turn right out of the Bluebell railway entrance and walk along footpath until it ends, then cross over the road to walk on grass verge round that hairy bend where you will see the entrance to the Bluebell industrial estate opposite you. To the right of the entrance are some steps leading up to our field. Walk around this field parallel with the road to reach our main track which will lead you down to our reception. Welcome to Wapsbourne manor farm, the adventure begins! There is a direct bus to and from Brighton which runs only during summer months, keep an eye on their website for this link. Brighton to Sheffield Park Bus Service 472 does not operate during the Winter Season.
