About Oakfield Farm Campsite
There's something immensely satisfying about pitching a tent, building a campfire and gazing at the stars in the knowledge this is how it's been done since our ancestors first discovered mammoths taste better roasted over flames. That back-to-basics spirit is alive at Oakfield Farm, a working farm with space to camp rather than a commercial site, set at the head of the Cuckmere valley between the South Downs National Park and High Weald National Landscape.
June and the team have created a relaxed, unpretentious spot where you won't find kids' clubs or evening entertainment—just spotless facilities, a friendly welcome, and loads of countryside to gaze at over your campfire. Logs, kindling and barbecue packs are available on site, or you can pre-order local meat from the owners. There's also a catering trailer serving bacon and egg baps, burgers and hot drinks. The main amenities can feel fairly basic, but that's rather the point—this is proper farm camping for those escaping overflowing email boxes. A petrol station with essentials is five minutes' walk; bigger shops are ten minutes' drive in Hailsham.

What visitors say
What a nice place to be for a quiet holiday! A really lovely campsite, very simple, surrounded by cows and horses, in a wide field, owned by welcoming people. It was our first trip to England and I would warmly recommend this campsite for those wishing to discover Sussex. June was extremely nice and helpful in providing guidance, we are looking forward to coming back and meeting her again!

First time camping trip with a one year old and 5 year old and the wonderful luck of a pretty intense summer storm! The hostess was brilliant at helping us and she even offered to wash and dry our baby's clothes which all got drenched. The toilets were clean, there was plenty of space between tents, the blackberry bushes were plentiful and the sausages we purchased from their farm absolutely delicious. Would thoroughly recommend.

Really liked this campsite. The lady that has a food van does the most delicious food I've ever had! Butchers sausage patties were amazing! 4 flushing toilets and 2 showers on site. Remember to boil some water for washing up, as sink only has cold, and take a head torch! Loads and loads of space for kids to run around in the middle of the field, and still not disturb us. Very generous pitch sizes, so no-one was ontop of one another unless you're in a group. Very friendly hosts. Would stay again!

Great back to basics campsite! Summer months only when we visited. Had the pond field out the back, was lovely and quiet for us adults to build a big fire and cook til the late hours. The toilets were nice and showers reasonable for a basic camp site - not freezing showers, and flushing loos. Really nice to have a snack shack for an early cuppa when you just need a wake up. The staff are all really friendly and welcoming too. The family field had a really nice big open central space for kids to play, and with the car park a field away (you can drive to the site for drop off only) it seems very safe camp site. Highly recommended for visiting the south downs.
