  • Secluded and small site with amazing views over the South Downs
  • A 25-minute drive to Arundel Cathedral and Worthing beach
  • A historic site with walks, shops and pubs nearby
Warminghurst Camping is way off the road, off grid and tucked away in West Sussex farm fields. This is a small site offering spectacular views of the South Downs and ancient Chanctonbury Ring. History buffs – take note: here you will be sleeping on the site of a house formerly owned by William Penn, the Quaker founder of Pennsylvania, USA. Basic facilities include one flushing toilet, two composting toilets, plus access to at least one washing-up sink and shower with hot water. Cars are allowed on pitches in dry conditions – if the field becomes too wet, alternative parking is provided, along with a wheelbarrow to transfer all your gear to the field. There are oodles of walks straight from the site, leading through woodland and open farmland. The nearest pub serves local beer and good food and is a 15-minute stroll away on a good footpath – so you can leave the car behind. A drive around the area turns up loads of other eating options in small villages nearby. You can stock up on essentials in Ashington (five minutes’ drive), with a convenience store, petrol station and chemist. The supermarket, local butchers and indie shops in Storrington (10 minutes) should serve all your other needs. No recorded music on site please – but playing acoustic stringed instruments is actively encouraged between the hours of 10am and 10pm.

Tim M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very quiet Easy to find Toilets, showers and washing-up facilities adequate for a short stay Limited number of pitches made it peaceful

Disliked: Would have been better if the grass fields had been mown shorter and grass collected as it was a bit messy when wet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Fair point but this has been a challenging summer with grass growing strongly and rain showers preventing timely mowing.

Idyllic peaceful setting

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: An idyllic setting. Very peaceful and beautiful views. Washing facilities immaculately clean. Pitches spaced apart so you aren't overcrowded. Chris the host is very friendly. There is a pub within walking distance (400m) down a public footpath. Ashington village with a shop, curry house, recreation ground and pub is just over a mile away. Thoroughly recommend.
