Clarefield Copse Wild Camping

Ik was blij met: Rural site, lovely views, very quiet. Lots of birds to listen to! Fire pits were great, and there's logs for sale with an honesty box. Although would have been helpful to have some kindling too.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Not owners fault but the field was extremely waterlogged, so was very squelchy around the tent as the ground was extremely soft and wet. Ended up spending most of our time in our tent porch. Waterlogged field also meant it was inaccessible by car, but wheelbarrows made it easier to carry kit so not the worst thing. Not a negative review but just a warning that its not great after heavy rain. Maybe more of a July/August site than a May one!

Ik was blij met: Could be a nice place in the summer time we arrived in May

Ik was niet zo blij met: Unfortunately we arrived and the field was water logged and we couldn't stay, the owner agreed to refund our money.

Van de manager: Hello Im sorry i missed your calls on Saturday. Its been an extremely busy few days with wife and new born in the hospital but this is not your concern. The front of site was pretty wet but the pitches were actually dry. I wish I had not missed your calls and maybe we could have smoothed everything out and you would have had an enjoyable weekend. I had someone on site to help out with this but its a big site and he would not have seen you and i missed your calls to let me know you had arrived. Anyway everything should be much smoother soon and the sun should be drying everything out as we speak. It truly is a beautiful site and perfect for nature lovers and people looking for some peace and quiet. Maybe you would consider coming again in the summer once everything has dried up. All the best Angus

Ik was blij met: Good view

Ik was niet zo blij met: There was no reception or even any instructions on where to pitch tents facilities etc.. the field was water logged. The toilets were disgusting really dirty and no toilet roll. The single shower was poor and cold. Overall a really bad experience

Van de manager: Im sorry you had a bad experience and I understand your complaints. A bunch of factors have piled up that have led to a tricky opening. I dont want to make excuses as I don't think it helps, but an extremely wet spring and my wife having a premature baby this week in the hospital have made things difficult. Though I understand this is not your concern or problem. I wish you could have called me during your stay and I could have worked to fix the problems you mentioned. As though I don't have a front reception this being a small business, I did have two people on call who could have helped. I would hope this is not the normal experience and will pick up in a few weeks with some sun. Anyway I apologise that you had a bad time and wish you the best. Thanks Angus

Ik was blij met: Back to basics camp site. Pitches are generous and spaces between pitches also good. Firepits provided and honesty box for wood. Toilets were better than expected for wild camping as more used to compost type. Site itself was amazing overnight - stars visible and also owls / pheasants sounded like they were in abundance!

Ik was niet zo blij met: Personally not a dislike but to be aware at this time of year that the path from the main car park to the pitches was boggy. You have to tread carefully and carry kit a bit of a way which we would normally do anyway for a wild campsite.

Ik was blij met: Beautifully situated site, well spaced pitches, lots of wildlife.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Given all the unseasonable rain, the site was pretty soggy in places. We had boots, so didn’t cause a major issue.

Ik was blij met: Great communication with the campsite owner resulting in relaxed campsite with lots of space. Basic facilities but all that's needed to spend some time outside. Field is situated in a natural dip so despite forecast encountered limited wind. Straightforward walk across field to/from the nearest pub (1.5miles). Enjoyed watching variety of birds over the site.

Ik was blij met: This place was really easy to find, called the number I received via text confirmation when I arrived and the gentleman came straight to me and showed me where the pitch site was, toilets, shower etc. Super friendly and welcoming! The site was dry and very spacious, loads of room to choose from. I was on a 3-day hike totalling 100 miles and so I pitched close to the toilets/shower! The shower itself was relatively basic, but there was enough water pressure and warmth to get clean comfortably. Would highly recommend if looking for a stopover or multi-night stay.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The pain in my feet when I woke up!

Ik was blij met: We loved this site. The views are beautiful, there's plenty of space, and the wildlife is all around. We stayed here as a base for visiting the Weald and Downland museum (which is about 45 mins away) and it was a really nice weekend. Our children enjoyed making friends with other children on the site and playing in the field. There was plenty of room for them to run around and play without disturbing other campers. It is also really dark at night, much darker than the skies where we live - great for star gazing :)
