Lovely camp site with friendly staff and great facilities. The prices for backpackers is incredibly reasonable and I really appreciate this. I more or less had the whole camping field to myself too which was a huge luxury. The location is excellent and I was back up on the downs in no time the next day. My only reservation is the noise from the road, which was fairly unrelenting until late at night. However I am probably more sensitive to this than others. Thanks for a good stay!

Great basic campsite. Warm welcome, toulet/showers clean. Laundry room. Decent sized pitches. Also, nice knowing that some of your money is going to charity. Nice pub 15 minutes away in Keymer and a 30 minute walk to Jack and Jill windmills. We will be returning soon, especially as this site is open all year.
