About Dernwood Farm

Dernwood Farm unfolds across spacious meadow pitches and pockets of beautiful ancient woodland just outside Waldron, where the pace slows and campfires crackle into the evening. Whether you're pitching a tent on wild grass, booking one of the bell tents or settling into the shepherd's hut, you'll find friendly, accommodating hosts and a genuinely peaceful atmosphere that visitors consistently praise.

The shower blocks are clean and well-maintained, while the on-site cafe and shop serve locally sourced breakfasts and farm-produced meat that guests highlight as a real treat. Dogs are welcome throughout, making this a solid choice for families exploring Heathfield and the surrounding High Weald—though some mention facilities can feel a touch basic if you're after resort-style polish.

I’ve been to Dernwood Farm several times now, staying in the Safari Tent, Cabin and Yurts. There’s really no other place like it - totally tranquil and relaxing, surrounded by lovely woodland and a great place to chill out and spend time with friends & family. The cafe and onsite shop sell their own meat which is super tasty and the cooked breakfast is an absolute must!! Can’t wait to come back again next year 😍

We had an amazing weekend at Dernwood Farm. The atmosphere was lovely. Fellow campers were all very friendly which helped create a nice community vibe. The facilities were plenty for what we needed. Toilets/showers were never busy even though the campsite was quite full. The shuttle service to take our equipment from the car to the field was super helpful. We also really appreciated the flexible check out time. Very friendly owners. Would definitely return and would highly recommend!

We were wild camping at aderendo so brought our own tent. What an amazing few days we had. Quite literally magical. The owners of this family run business are just so welcoming and helpful and really lovely. We didn’t sample the cafe but it always smelled divine when we were passing. The location is stunning a real hidden gem!! The facilities are exactly enough for what you need without going over the top! Showers wash up loos all kept really clean and nice. Was so lovely to be able to bring the dogs and not have to have them on a lead the whole time. The other people wild camping were really friendly and respectful of each other. We will definitely be back! Some may see the 6 minute walk as a drawback from car to tent but the trolleys work brilliantly and I actually believe the 6 minute walk is all a big part of the experience in making it even more amazing!

Loved the open field and woodland. The farm shop and cafe offered some tasty treats and basic amenities. Open fires being allowed was a bonus. Felt very spacious. Shower block was a bit of a walk but otherwise brilliant campsite!
