Hunker down in a historic village, surrounded by vineyards, hilly countryside and some rather spectacular views. With Ditchling Camping as your base, you’ll be on track for rural bike rides or visiting Brighton and its busy coast 25 minutes’ drive away. That’s because this dog-friendly site is in Ditchling – a village in the splendid South Downs National Park and a rather excellent location for all sorts of days out.
Good news if the whole family is tagging along: there’s plenty to play with around the site, including an adventure trail through the woodlands, a swing tree and places for kids to fashion their own little dens.
The site is only a five-minute drive (or a 30-minute walk) from the traditional Jack and Jill windmills and the neighbouring family-run pub, which serves both grub and good ales. A vineyard is 15 minutes’ walk away from the site if you'd like to include a wine-tasting tour on your break. Otherwise, simply pedal along country lanes on the surrounding cycling routes (it’s easy enough to hire a bike locally).
On your route, you might want to stop by in characterful Ditchling, home to local craftspeople and winemakers. There’s a nice selection of independent shops here, plus cosy cafés and pubs that will serve you a good spread of Sussex food, all within a 5-minute walk.
Back on site, end the day with a cosy evening beside the fire-pits. The site facilities are nicely straightforward otherwise and include warm showers and a separate dishwashing area and of course our newly installed Composting Toilets.There are no rubbish bins on site and we ask that all rubbish is taken away. Please leave the site as you found it so the next guests can feel welcome. Children to be strictly under parental supervision at all times. Please bring your own fire pits, we don’t want to damage the grass. No Disposable Barbecues. They wreck the grass, make the food taste horrible and are bad for the environment! You can only burn wood bought from us on your fire pits. There is plenty of dead wood in the trees to use as kindling to get the log fires started (removing dead wood helps the trees breath and release new growth). A bag of logs is £10, which is plenty for an evening or two. Please enquire for prices and we will happily supply a larger quantity of logs
