Camping in East Sussex

East Sussex offers a wide spread of camping and glamping, from simple grassy pitches to shepherd's huts and pods set among farmland and woodland. Sites around Battle and Hailsham tend towards quieter farm settings, good for those wanting space and a slower pace, while spots near Brighton and Hastings suit trips that mix countryside nights with time in town.

Further inland, around Heathfield, Mayfield and Ringmer, smaller glamping ventures like Flower Meadow Glamping and Pondside Glamping make use of the rolling Weald landscape, often with just a handful of pitches or huts. Places such as Arlington Campsite and Warbleton Farms Campsite offer more traditional camping, while options like Battle Pods and Bells or Ganesha Retreats lean towards a more comfortable, ready-made stay.

With so many small, individually run sites scattered across the county, it's worth thinking about how central or remote you want to be, and whether you're after a working farm setting or something closer to the coast at Firle or Filching.
