This low-impact, off-grid campsite is set within a working permaculture fruit and herb farm, with a small flock of sheep that are helping restore a wildflower meadow. There is a strip of woodland at the top of my field where you can escape summer heat under the trees and put up hammocks or hammock tents. I am offering only two pitches at any one time (up to 6 people per pitch). Each pitch has their own fire pit at the top of the field near the woodland, with camping lower on the slope nearer to shower unit and compost toilet. Each pitch also has its own compost toilet tent in the woodland, near the fire. Should the weather be uncertain there is the option of renting the group tent in addition to fire and camping areas, the group tent has a yoga deck/ flat outside area and can be used for sleeping or hanging out. Up on the top field we can open the horsebox as a field shelter/ field kitchen at a small extra cost, great for keeping food and camp cookers in when your are off exploring the beaches and surrounds. There are stunning far-reaching views form the fire pits and even more stunning views of Rye Bay, a short walk away on Mountain Field or at the Balehouse -which is the info centre and cafe of the Hastings Country park. Nature and the species I'm surrounded by are paramount, such as butterflies, wildflowers and birds. The whole site is full of birdsong, especially up near the woodland by the fire pits. At night you get clear views of the stars and my favourite thing is to wake up in the morning in the summer, seeing the dew on the grass, connecting with natural peacefulness and first rays of sun. In May the woodland and field are covered in bluebells and the blossom in the permaculture orchard is astounding. Do bring a yoga mat at stretch first thing on the yoga deck! Please Note: This is a working farm so farmer and woofer(s) are sometimes on site, in areas that are not part of the camping facilities. Exclusive use refers to campsite areas not the entire farm. New option for 2024, exclusive rental of campsite area, £250 for up to 10 people, 5 extras at extra £20 a night! Why not meet friends and family on the field and enjoy the scenery over a fire, BBQ or giant cook out/ picnic. It's a very peaceful and natural spot, yet only 10 minutes drive away from the Old Town in Hastings with all the music, people and festivals that go on. It really is the best of both worlds and I'm happy to share it!

Exclusive hire, group camping!

Stunning friends gathering at Annas

We loved camping on Anna's land, the orchard was beautiful and we spent so much time around the fire. The shower and toilet were really useful and we loved the sheep who came to say hi in the morning! We had lots of campfires and walked to the coastguard cafe followed by the beach where we got to swim with a seal!! Highly recommend at least 2 nights and bring lots of lovely food for the fire which Anna has provided very useful grills to cook on! Would definitely camp here again :) Thanks!

Dreamy time at Small Meadow Farm

We had a totally dreamy time on Anna’s land: Beautiful view of the Weald from the camp, star-gazing at night, and a very chilled time. Anna was attentive checking in daily by WhatsApp to make sure we were ok, but the perfect host in then leaving us to it! Recommend is - the views from the top of the hill overlooking the Channel (10 minute walk) - we saw France everyday! The site is well laid out, and very tranquil. We were blessed!

Exclusive hire, group camping!

We had such a lovely time camping here. We had the whole place to ourselves - beautiful views, forest, a fire pit, rope swing, bluebells everywhere, walking distance to the beach. Amenities were more than I expected for a mostly off grid site - eco toilet and bucket shower. Anna was really helpful, suggesting walks and things to do. Couldn’t recommend more :)
