Camping FAQs

Only firewood that is purchased on site is permitted to be burnt in the fire pits. You cannot bring any with you or forage for it on the farm as this is our beloved wildlife’s home.

If you are staying with us over a weekend or for 3 nights during our midweek dates, then each camping pitch includes a wood box to be used in one of our firepits. 

If you are staying with us for one or two nights during our midweek dates, then you can choose to add a wood box to your pitch at the time of booking. 

It is your responsibility to collect all of your booked booked wood boxes from check-in during opening hours. No refunds are given for uncollected/unused wood boxes.

Extra firewood and everything you need to have a campfire can be purchased on site. 

We absolutely love dogs and welcome well behaved dogs on leads and responsible owners to the farm. Please keep them under control and watch them at all times. Dogs are not permitted in to our ‘Meet the Chickens’ field. Always clear up after them. Take a look at our dog policy for more information to take a look at our dog policy.

Yes! Please enter a group name in our comment box at the time of booking and we will be able to place you near to each other. Please be sure to all book the same field in order to make this possible.

You have 2 options in regards to group bookings:

1. One person books/pays on behalf of the entire group.
2. Each family books and pays individually for their own pitch and writes your group name in the comment box at the time of booking. If you choose this option then it is important that you all book in to the same field as each other.

Please note all of our bookings must be done online via our website.

A pitch is perfect for four people in one tent. If your party is larger than four, then up to 2 extra people can be added to that pitch/tent at the time of booking. A pitch can hold up to a maximum of 6 people in one tent. If your party is larger than 6 then the booking of another pitch is required.

Yes we love watching people gathering around to enjoy a BBQ on their weekend with us! Please make sure they are kept well off of the ground or put in your fire pit so that they do not burn the grass- we want to look after our beautiful campsite.

Please note that if we have had very hot and dry weather we may ask you kindly to not use your BBQ and fire pit.

If you have a favourite pitch/area then please feel free to leave a note in the comment box at the time of booking.

Family friendly is what we are all about! We are a family run farm with a family friendly campsite!

We are a quiet family campsite. No music of any kind is permitted in any of our camping fields at any time and we kindly ask that the campsite is quiet by 10pm. Children/youths must be back at their pitch by 10pm.

Food, farming and environmental education is such a huge part of what we do here on the farm and we love sharing this with you throughout your stay with us. We always have a lot going on on the farm. Check out what your ‘eggsperience’ might look like with us by clicking here. 

We absolutely love our farm and take pride in keeping it clean and tidy. We kindly ask that you take all of your rubbish and recycling home with you and your pitches must be left completely clear. To make this as easy as possible, we recommend that you try and leave and unnecessary packaging at home.

We are a working farm with 12,000 hens on site and are surrounded by livestock. Fireworks and lanterns can do a lot of damage to both them and our lovely farm. Therefore the use of them is strictly prohibited during your stay with us.

There are many electricity lines on the farm. Therefore there is strictly NO kite flying anywhere on site.

We do not allow unsupervised campers under the age of 21.

Yes! The South Downs way is very close by and we love seeing people exploring this beautiful part of the country by bike.

Where we can, we like to offer those who are joining us for the weekend and who live close enough, the option to set up their tent on the Thursday between 4-7pm. This means you can just rock up on the Friday and chill!

Please note that this is not always possible, so please do check the details of your chosen stay carefully.  

On occasion we do have private events on the campsite and we have had some wonderful weekends in the past. We choose these events and bookings very carefully as we care about our farm so much and it is very important that your event fits in with the ethos of our farm.
