About Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Our picturesque campsite is located just off the beautiful South Downs Way, offering pitches for tents and camper vans only, (sorry no caravans or motor-homes). The site is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with breathtaking views over the Downland and sea. Where ever you pitch you are guaranteed a view and peaceful stay. It's also only a 20 minute stroll from the gorgeous Sussex coast and within easy reach of Brighton and many other attractions.
The site is purposefully basic but does offer a flushing toilet facility with 2 basic showers. A washing up area and 2 drinking water taps. Please do not expect power showers though, due to our our location right on top of the downs! Fire pits can be hired to create a camp fire or barbecue (camp fires directly on the ground are NOT permitted). Logs & fire lighting packs can be purchased along with breakfast & barbecue hampers & marshmallows. The campsite is dog & family friendly and you are able to park next to your chosen pitch. This is an ideal location for walkers and cyclists.
Stud Farm is a mixed working organic farm. Previously a horse stud and home of a Grand National winner in 1902. It is now a working sheep farm, along with pigs and arable farming. Race horses are still trained here under the trainer Camilla Poulton. We produce our own lamb, pork and a range of sausages, pork & lamb burgers, all available for purchase and along with our free-range eggs can be supplied to hungry campers! We don't have a farm shop.The beautiful farm house offers B&B with equine companions welcome. Perfect for a ride along the South Downs way.
We are based in lovely Telscombe, a historic and picturesque village recorded in the Domesday Book. It is nestled at the foot of the South Downs with Telscombe Tye to the South. It houses the ancient church of St.Laurence which dates back to the twelfth century. Stud Farm forms part of the village along with the village Hall and houses such as The Manor and the Old Rectory. It has less than 50 inhabitants and therefore still remains quiet and unspoilt.

My thoughts about Stud Farm
I absolutely loved my stay there is nothing bad to say as the farm is amazing the views are to die for and the showers and toilets are clean and probably the best I’ve used in ages of doing this…I would 100 percent recommend we walked the lane to get the bus (15 mins) which they kindly helped us with got the bus to Brighton had a day there then got the bus back (24/7) no problem
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback glad that you enjoyed your stay the views of the downs and the sea is one of our winners we take pride in keeping the facilities clean and tidy and maintaining the site we have many different walk paths that take you to different parts of the area from saltdean to brighton to eastbourne the buses are very regular from the bus stops that is about 15 min walk
A wonderfully remote, quiet site with stunning views and good facilities
Facilities were very good - clean toilets and showers, washing up area. Views were stunning, pitches were large, communication with those running the site was easy. It was windy up on the Downs but in this heat, that was a blessing. Easy access via the footpaths / bridleways to the coast but by car you have to drive 10 mins to reach shops and towns. We loved our stay here, thank you.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback we take pride in cleaning the campsite clean and tidy and happy to help in away that we can the pitches are 10mt x 10mt large has we are ontop of the downs and open to the elements it can get a bit windy at times but not all the time plenty of walks in all directions to the beach to the local pubs and shop or just a nice walk on the tye that has some stunning views between 15-30min walk
A lovely chilled out stay, good walks and views and relaxation.
Stud Farm is a nice spacious campsite, very quiet while we were there. It is a rural setting with wonderful South Down views. Highly recommended.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for you feedback we have the views of the downs and the sea as been on top the downs its self, on our campsite we have a no noise or music after 9pm policy in place as campers come for the peace and quiet and the nature only the noise you hear is the sheep next door and the nature of the birds
Peaceful great location and views
As this was our 1st outing in campervan,8 the site was amazing, very peaceful amazing views to chill.out to, clean toilet and shower area, left to come and go at your leisure, can be a bit windy at times but thats to be expected as you are high up. Will definitely be returning
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for you feedback glad that you enjoyed your stay and wanting to come back again as its a no noise or music after 9pm campsite campers appreciate the peacefulness at night and relax with the sound of nature and sheep. been on top of the downs open to the elements the wind can pick up but not all the time
Charming camp site in great location
This is a simple, relaxed campsite but with everything you need. Fabulous views and a lovely half hour walk from the beach.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feed back glad that you enjoyed your stay, we are in the middle of the downs but close to the beach or the local shop and pubs 15 min to 25 mins walk, there is always something to see if its not the downs and the nature and hill tops its the sea and the how far the eye can see.
Lovely campsite and the most reasonably priced!
Thankyou to the lovely Yorkshire couple that welcomed us. We had a lovely time in a beautiful place. We definitely will return!
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback glad that you enjoyed your stay, we are here to help in anyway possible and as we live on site nothing is a problem day or night.
Perfect location
A fabulous quiet spot on the top of a hill, (can be a bit exposed if it’s windy). Gorgeous views, basic facilities (but clean and absolutely fine). Lovely walks in the surrounding hills and an easy walk to Brighton beneath the cliffs.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback as been on the top of the downs and open to the elements we are exposed to the sea air so can get a little windy having the views of the downs and the sea in the same place is some what of a picture, walking to the sea front is about 25mins from the site or 15 min to the local bus stops to brighton and eastbourne or local shops
Beautiful peaceful location, friendly owners and simple, clean facilities
Wonderful views with spacious plots. Lovely walks to coast or on downs straight from campsite. Conveniently located for visiting Monks House, Virginia Woolf’s home. Owners were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. They let us park there for day after we’d checked out.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback glad that you enjoyed your stay hope you would like to come again , we are about a 25min walk to the sea front and the local pubs and a 15min walk to the local tescos express. the pitches are 10mt x 10mt so very large the campsite is in the center of the downs so see the downs on 1 side and the sea on the other
Amazing views
Lovely site with good facilities. Friendly welcome. Amazing views over the south downs and to the sea. High recommended!
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
thank you for your review,
glad you enjoyed your stay, our site is basic but has most of the essential's, many thanks
excellent
We have been coming here for 4 years. Started off with a small tent then a trailer tent and now a campervan. We love this place can't get enough of it but [depends on what you want or expect]. It is a field with always Immaculate toilet and shower facilities, sometimes showers are not piping hot, as we have heard from others but they work and are not cold. ( you will never please everyone) The views are amazing, if you like fresh fish West Quay Fisheries in Newhaven is the place to go, staff there cannot be anymore helpful. Local shops in Seaford and Peacehaven are also very nice with again lovely staff. Talking of staff Hayley and Paul could not be more helpful and friendly. We have seen them jump start peoples vehicles when they have flat batteries (which I am sure they don't have to) We have read other comments regarding them and have honestly never found them rude or unapproachable. Back to Stud Farm, beautiful, clean and peaceful, perfect for walks or dog walks if you have them. Our dog loves it and now even knows the way to the field across the way and other walks. We will keep coming back. If it is a one night stop it is perfect if it is a week or more it is perfect. We cannot fault it.

everyone loves the views of the Downs and the Sea at this site, we do try to help anyone and everyone, we do also welcome ideas on how to improve our site, thank you for your lovely comments
Stunning views very quiet !!
I didn't book i just turned up and wanted to have a look before committing. I was warmly welcomed by Paul and Hayley, they were really chilled. The views are spectacular i immediately wanted to stay. Paul said choose your plot mine looked out towards the sea. Toilet and shower facilities spotlessly clean. A 15 min bike ride away is Telscombe cliffs and there after a fabulous bike ride along the water front to Brighton and on !! The site was very peaceful and quiet and the weather glorious, thank you for a wonderful stay ! Best, Ray.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
thank you for you review,
yes everyone loves the views of the Downs and the Sea, our site is also popular with hikers, we do try our best to help people if possible, people can come through the mid week and just turn up, but i would highly recommend that people book for the weekend well in advance as its usually fully booked.
many thanks
Lovely campsite in beautiful surroundings
We loved our stay at Stud Farm. The campsite is in a gorgeous setting and has good facilities (shower, toilet, washing up area) in a relaxed vibe. The pitches are a great size with plenty of choice. The eggs we bought from the farm were delicious. We loved the fact we could have a camp fire as not all sites allow this. We will be booking to stay again.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
thank you for your review.
glad you enjoyed your stay, everyone loves the views of the Downs and the Sea along with the many walks, we are always trying to improve our site and welcome any kind of feedback.
Perfect spot for overnight stay in our van
We had a great stay at Stud Farm - views are spectacular, and Telscombe is one of the nicest spots in the South Downs. Campsite facilities were very clean and we enjoyed a lovely walk down Telscombe Tye to the sea, with skylarks in the grass meadows. Definitely on our list for a return stay.

thank you for your review.
we do welcome all kinds of feedback good or indifferent, glad you enjoyed your stay
The perfect camping site?
This was our very first time camping (at the age of 60!) in a tent, and we are so glad we chose Stud Farm! Everything was easy from start to finish. Bay 20 was a perfect pitch next to the ponies, a lovely big space with only one neighbour! Only disadvantage of that being it's the furthest pitch from the toilets/shower block, but we didn't mind that. On that note, toilets and showers were immaculate, cleaned often and respectfully used by other families. The owner was very friendly and did tour round the site to check everyone was OK. Had a chat to lovely Di who looked after the ponies and will visit her stables next time we are here. Will definitely book again and maybe be brave and try to cook something next time....the many barbecues smelled delicious! All very relaxing even with a hyper active Boston Terrier! Thanks again to all at Stud farm!

glad you enjoyed your stay, we do also welcome comments on how to improve our site, we do also sell bacon, sausage, eggs and burgers for your barbie, however they do need to be ordered at least two days before arrival.
many thanks
Welcoming, beautiful viewa
Stayed here with my daughter for one evening whilst my wife cycled the London to Brighton charity ride. We had a lovely stay. There were some other noisey guests which was slightly irritating but this isn’t a reflection on the campsite. Plenty of space. Good loos and showers. Would stay here again for a short break
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
thank you for your review.
most of our customers do come for the peace and quiet as we do have a no noise no music policy after 9pm, if someone had phoned us we would have come out immediately and we would of advised our noisy customers about the site policy's
The Experiment on the Hill
What can one say! What started out as an experiment in a tent turned out to be multi climatic sensation. Within a period of a few days I experienced everything from hot sun, fog, wind, rain, and the cold, to waking up in a soaking wet tent in a cloud that descended on the site. It was great for me as I was testing the conditions for future use and got all the different climates in one trip. I like the site - it is remote, and totally surrounded by countryside with the view of the sea in the distance - very peaceful. The weather is very changeable with a consistent wind (which may not be to your liking) but overall it is a good summertime experience. The facilities are excellent and well maintained, and the price is very reasonable, too.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback
as we are on top of the downs and open to the elements we have all weathers but not always wet and windy, but sometimes do have strong winds, its very rare that we have different seasons in a short space of time and usually sunny.
Quiet campsite, beautiful location. Clean showers and loos that were better than advertised!
Really nice, tidy and quiet campsite with good facilities. Great location for Brighton.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback, we take pride in keeping our facilities and site tidy. we are 15min walk to the local bus stop to brighton and eastbourne and 20min walk to the local pubs
Wonderful site
Basic site with sinks and toilet/shower block. Showers work well and there are great views towards Peacehaven and the sea. Easy 1 mile walk on footpath to Tesco and pub about 1 mile too. Good for choice of dog walking paths all around the area on the hills. Virginia Wools house 2 miles away is very interesting and busy with wonderful Abergavenny Arms pub which is a great food place.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feed back, we do have regular customers that do enjoy our basic campsite, with no music or noise policy after 9pm in place which a lot of campers do come for the views and peace
Amazing facilities and staff
All the facilities were excellent. Toilets and showers were always clean, and toilets were always stocked up with essentials. More than enough room in each of the plots. Stud Farm view is more than you could ask for. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback, glad that you enjoyed your stay, we take pride in keeping the site and facilities clean.
The pitches are 10 x 10mt so very spacious over looking the downs and the sea.
Peaceful camping
The pitches are generous and the views are lovely...the sea on one side and the Downs on the other. And next to sheep!
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback as we are on top of the downs your able to see the downs and the sea all in one place, the pitches are 10 x10mt so very spacious so not to close to other campers

Close to Brighton Beach and the Seven Sisters. The toilets and showers are all clean. We highly recommend this campsite.

Good campsite, but quite windy
Exposed on the top of the hill, this campsite certainly gets the costal wind - bring a jumper. It's a great spot near Brighton and the Seven Sisters cliffs. Showers and toilets were good too. My only complaint would be the hosts. Quite intimidating on arrival, telling us we'd be kicked out with no warning if we made any noise after 9pm. It doesn't get dark until 10, don't forget. How the hosts spoke to us certainly made some of my guests feel uncomfortable and anxious.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback as we are on top of the downs and open to the elements it can get a little windy at time, sorry that you felt like that with the wardens, we do have a strict no music policy after 9pm as campers do like the peace and quiet at night, as for saying that you would be kicked off site if any noise we would ask for you to turn the music off with having the policy in place not saying you would have to leave the site. once again we do apologise for how you felt.
Beautiful site!
We had a warm welcome from the wardens on Stud Farm before choosing a pitch, and they brought us our pre-ordered firewood once we had settled in. The site is lovely, the views are beautiful and the facilities were immaculate, they were simple (two showers, ladies and gents toilets, drinking water taps, a washing up point and a chemical disposal point, all kept very clean and tidy). The walks directly from the site were amazing and we easily found our way around. The wardens were also happy to recommend local places to visit which was really handy! We loved it so much, we booked an extra night, plus a longer stay later in the year. We're looking forward to returning with family!
Lovely place to stay
Great location by the ocean, with beautiful view next to coast path. We liked the showets, totilets and the kitchen is a treat.

A great location with a sea view
The site is clean and tidy, and the grass is cut. The shower and toilets were immaculate. There is washing up facilities and waste disposal but nothing else, this made it feel more like wild camping which for me was perfect.

Perfect Peaceful Getaway 🌿
Had a fantastic stay at this campsite last weekend. The site was peaceful and quiet—perfect for switching off and relaxing. Facilities were spotless and clearly well looked after, which made a big difference. The location is ideal too, just outside some great walking and cycling routes, so there’s plenty to do without needing to travel far. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and I’ll definitely be coming back!
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback, glad that you enjoyed your stay, this is the place to relax on top of the downs with the views what can make you forget and switch off, there are plenty of places to go for a walk where ever you look there is a different track that takes you somewhere different.
we are here when ever there is anything needed and more that happy to go out of our way to help others.
happy to hear that you will return again.

Fabulous few days!
We received a lovely welcome from Hayley and Paul, who were both incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home from the start. The setting is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views across the English Downs and out to the sea, it’s a truly special spot on the Telscombe cliffs. It’s a more basic stay, but everything you need is there, including a clean toilet and shower block. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful with beautiful scenery and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is a great choice. We would highly recommend it and would happily return.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback we are happy that you enjoyed your stay and we are always at hand when or if needed, the views are some what of a picture.

Idyllic surroundings with sea views and clean amenities.
Driving along Gorhams Lane towards the campsite is a sensory overload of incredible views of a huge valley with rollling hills and chalk cliffs in the backgound. The little village of Telscombe is picturesque. The campsite is set atop a hill so no wind break if it happens to be windy. I came by motorcycle and pitched a tent. I was testing out my new kit so only stayed for two days. I experienced a windy night and then a totally calm day and sunshine. The pitches are 6m x 6m and you can choose your pitch. The toilets and showers are spotless. The water pressure can drop but that was not a problem. Outside sink to wash up. The site is on a working farm so lots of sheep in adjacent fields. Beautiful, stunning views out over the South Downs and the sea. 20 min walk to telscombe cliffs along a stoney road. I wouldn't drive down this road in a car or van unless it was an offroad vehicle. John and Hayleigh were very welcoming and at hand on site if you need any help. They live on site and securiy on my tent and belongings was not a worry. I'm looking forward to going back again mid-summer 2026. Thanks for a peaceful stay.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback its lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we were more than happy to help in any way that we could, been open to the elements can be a bit windy but not all the time the views are a winner you cant say you haven't been to a place where both downs and the sea are visible at the same time. walking down to the local village is a lovely site as well from the farm land with live stock and birds of prey you see can see the sea from a distance, very peaceful walk glad that you will come again.

Amazing views
Found this little gem by chance. So glad we did. Its got amazing views, lovely walks down to Peacehaven and Saltdean and its so peaceful. The facilities are good as well. Its was lovely to stay here for a few nights and the dogs loved it to.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback, the views are always a winner as been on top of the downs you can see both sides the downs and the sea which are amazing to see, plenty of walks to the local pubs and the local tesco's and a stroll down to the sea front.
hope you come back soon

Lovely location with big pitches
Had a great 2 night stay at Stud Farm, was checked in by a very helpful and friendly person who gave me directions to a nearby shop (15 min walk). Site had generously sized pitches, beautiful views and walks from the gate. Toilet and shower block clean and efficient.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay hope you would like to come again
Lovely space
Even tho we arrived late, it was easy to navigate. The bays are a really good size, shower and toilet was good and clean. Views are lovely. Only downside that is nothing to do with the campsite but being on top of a hill, there is a wind issue. All in all we would book again.
Great budget overnight stay
I needed somewhere to stay overnight before watching the Brighton marathon and at £25 I could not complain! I was welcomed by a member of staff upon arrival, gave my name, and asked where is likely to be least windy on site. I was directed to the bottom half of the field which, was definitely more sheltered but it ended up being a blustery night! Not sure if I was unlucky, I get the impression it does get windy on site, but nothing that even my budget tent couldn’t stand up to. Campsite wasn’t full, but there were more people than I expected. Despite this, there was plenty of space, and everyone was quiet and respectful. Any noise was probably drowned out by the wind! Toilets were clean and modern. I was camped at the far end from the toilets but it was only a one or two minute walk which isn’t far at all! The listing had mentioned that the showers are warm at best, with low pressure, so I wasn’t expecting much. My experience of showering once there was that the water was warm for about 30 seconds, then cold for the remainder. Pressure dropped to almost nothing as well. As I said, this was all made clear on booking, so I can’t have any complaints, especially at £25 a night. I would use it as a base again, perhaps not for more than a couple of nights due to the showers. Definitely give this place a go if you need somewhere cheap for a night or two in the area.

Thankyou for your feedback, the wind can pick up as we are on top of the downs but its not always windy, we are making improvements on the shower block but the pressure does drop sometimes as we are on the downs and close to the villages.
hope you would like to come back again.

A new treasure of a site.
This was our first visit to the site. Situated hight above Telscombe Cliffs with wide ranging views of the South Downs and the sea. So many footpath options to walk from the site. We arrived on an unusually warm April day. Brilliant sunshine and no wind. The site wasn’t busy so we could pitch where we wanted (in a specific strip) in a generously sized pitch between designated posts. We were warmly welcomed and informed of the site procedures and protocols. The toilet shower facilities are immaculately kept; cleaned several times during the day. One of the great pluses for the site. The ablutions unit is straight forward and functional; no frills but made our stay at the site very comfortable. Barbecue and fire pit facilities are available on site and it was lovely to see and smell the fires as we sat watching the evening sunshine. One of the wonderful things about the location of the site is that it gets the sunshine from sunrise to sunset, no mountains, hills or tall trees to get in the way. Brilliant. Locally sourced produce can be ordered via the site managers; that’s a lovely service to offer. We loved our stay and will be returning for future visits

Lovely scenic quiet time
Had a lovely time, great views, clean facilities and generous pitches. Peaceful. Had a lovely walk down to the sea straight from the campsite
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
Thankyou for your feedback, we are happy that you enjoyed you stay having pitches that are 10mt x 10mt you dont feel like you are to close to other campers, the walks to the local pubs and local shops are about a 15 min walk from the campsite with some lovely views on the way.
hope you would like to visit again

Nice quite site with Lovely views
Nice site with basic but very adequate and clean facilities. Lovely views all round across farmland and the sea. We enjoyed watching the lambs play in the next field. The walk to the bus stop into Brighton only took just over 15 mins (wouldn't recommend for buggys or wheelchairs as its a very uneven footpath but there are are probably other routes on the road). Booking and check in was straight forward, we got to pick our pitch. Some of the pitches are more sloped than others. We didn't find it a problem though. Overall a lovely site and we would likely be staying again.

Rural gem
A great stay, very friendly owners and gorgeous views all around. Nice and quiet and lots of room per pitch. Despite being told about shower pressure and heat being on top of the downs, we were impressed. Great shower and toilet facilities. Checked in later as owners on site so it gave us flexibility. We loved our stay!

A beautiful stay at a beautiful farm
My partner and I camped here this weekend. Although the weather was on nobodys side the farm was beautiful with amazing showers and toilets - cleaner than a lot of hotels we have stayed at! The farm is a huge working farm so may require a few minutes walk to see other animals but you are surrounded by fields and farm animals. The local town is stunning with historic buildings. The locals were all friendly and you often see horses being ridden or walked around. We will definitely be staying here again and I have recommended Stud Farm to loads of people since!
Fabulous stay.
Excellent, helpful communication. Beautiful views.
Friendly and lovely
Warm and friendly greeting, nice services. Will absolutely stay again!
Peaceful site with amazing views
Although basic facilities for us this was a perfect campsite for a short break. A very warm welcome was given us on arrival, very clean toilets and showers... Everything we wanted. We will definitely be back.
Response from Stud Farm Telscombe Village
thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay. we do have many costumers that enjoy the back to basics camping with the amazing views and walks around this site.
Amazing campsite!
Loved our stay at Stud Farm. The view all around was incredible, and the walks from the site are excellent. Half an hour down to saltdean and the beach cafe and then access across the downs. Lovely pitches and facilities, was able to have a fire on site in the evenings and some great birdwatching in the mornings. The owner was very friendly, really helpful, and loved watching her dog riding in the front seat of the car for all the check ins! Will definitely be back.
