Choose between either Wild Boar Wood Campsite in West Sussex or Beech Estate Campsite in East Sussex to get the Pegs & Pitches Camping experience.
Facilities include hot water bucket showers, eco-toilets or compost toilets and campfires. Everything is off-grid, so any power is minimal and comes from renewable resources such as solar lamps.
You can choose between bell tents for something more akin to Glamping if you need a comfy bed to sleep on at night or if your really looking for an authentic experience, bring a tent and cosy sleeping bag. And for the intrepid swimmer, there are also nearby locations just a short drive away for a spot of wild swimming.
