Camping in West Sussex

West Sussex covers a lot of ground for campers, from the rolling chalk of the South Downs around Findon and Patching to the wooded, more secluded pitches near Horsted Keynes and East Grinstead. Shepherd's huts feature heavily here, with sites like Bluebell Shepherd's Hut, Splash Farm Shepherd's Huts and Sussex Meadow Shepherd's Huts offering a step up from a tent without straying far from farmland and open country.

Coastal stays near Pagham suit those wanting beach access alongside their camping, while inland spots around Petworth, Billingshurst and Henfield tend towards working farms and quieter fields, good for walkers heading into the Downs. Pop-up and small-scale sites such as Field and Fallow Pop-up Campsite sit alongside more established grounds like Kingfisher Campsite, so it's worth deciding whether you want simple, unserviced pitches or something with more comfort built in, as with Skoolie Stays or Furzefield Barn.
