Grass Pitch Camping Field

UK England South East England East Sussex Heathfield Dernwood Farm Camping & Glamping

  • Sleeps 6 (max 6 adults, 5 children)
  • Dogs Allowed
Spacious pitch for tent only, sleeps 6 max in the camping field, set within the very heart of 70 acres of woodland. Ablaze with anemones and bluebells in the early spring, then moving to green and lush in summer, great for camp building. Late summer & autumn, it’s a foragers’ delight.

The Owner Says

If you’re after a beautful wildish campsite in Sussex then you are in the right place, we aim to provide a low impact, sustainable and eco-friendly farm camp site. It’s a field in the woods, with lots of of peace & quiet, for people who are looking for a real back to nature camping experience.  Please come and have fun and enjoy a glass around the camp fire. We welcome guitars and personal speakers, just make sure you’re respectful of others.

You are immersed in the woodland, able to reconnect with nature, unplugging from technology and finding refuge from urban existence and everyday life.  As one recent Tripadvisor reviewer put it “re-wilding the children at Dernwood”. I couldn’t have put it better myself.

About Dernwood Farm Camping & Glamping

Suitable For

Tents, dogs (on leads) – yes. Caravans, campervans, groups – no. This is a family campsite: no electronic noise or raucous explosions after the North Star appears.

Nearby

The Cuckoo Trail, a spit from the site, is a great option for cycling or walks –weaving through woods, fields, and the best of Sussex countryside. Normans Bay, named after the Normans who landed here a thousand years ago, is just 20 minutes away. Pop into The Observatory Science Centre (01323 832731); on selected evenings you can look through their telescopes at events in the night sky.

Food & Drink

Stock up on steaks before heading to camp – they’re hung for 21 days so are bursting with flavour. Beyond the wood in Chiddingly, the Six Bells (01825 872227) comes highly recommended (voted Best Bargain Pub in Britain) for its tasty fare and shabby-chic decor.
