As in the rest of England, wild camping without the landowner's permission is illegal here, so pitching up on the surrounding hills or farmland is not an option; instead, look to licensed campsites and certified sites scattered around Petworth, Chichester and the villages along the A285, several of which sit within a few miles of the South Downs Way. The terrain is classic chalk downland - close-cropped grazing pasture, steep-sided dry valleys like the one Upwaltham itself sits in, and beech-topped hills such as Bignor Hill and Sutton Down - making for scenic but occasionally exposed camping, so a pitch with some shelter from the wind is worth seeking out. Late spring through early autumn is the best window, when the ground is firmer, the days are long enough for a proper walk on the Downs, and the wildflowers and butterflies on the chalk grassland are at their best; the shoulder months of May and September often bring quieter sites and cooler, more comfortable nights than high summer. Given the lack of shops or pubs in Upwaltham itself, campers should stock up in Petworth or Chichester before heading out, and plan routes around the network of footpaths and bridleways that link the hamlet to the wider Downs. For those who prefer a roof over their heads without giving up the outdoor setting, glamping options in the area - shepherd's huts, bell tents and pods - offer a comfortable alternative to a traditional tent while keeping the same downland views and access to walking straight from the door. Whichever way you camp, respect for the working farmland that surrounds Upwaltham is essential, since much of this landscape remains in agricultural use alongside its national park status.
