How we keep things lovely
The things worth knowing before you set off
None of this is small print. It is the stuff that makes the difference between a good weekend and a difficult one, so it is on a page of its own rather than buried at the bottom.
Mandatory
Quiet time, 10pm to 7am
We are not a camping field for late night parties. We have quiet time between 10pm & 7am. Strictly no music to be played between these hours. We are a quiet, family friendly camping field. This rule is mandatory.
Points to note
A working farm, off-grid, at the end of a track. These are the practical consequences.
- No showers
- We do not have showers.
- No CDP point
- We are a wild camping field on a working farm with no CDP point.
- The track
- Field access is via a rural, 1-mile farm track, with a hill to the field.
- Phone signal
- Phone signal drops from the beginning of Newhouse Lane and restores at the top of the camping field.
- Terrain
- Field terrain is hilly. Please bring levelling ramps and chocks.
- Water
- Our water is for drinking and washing hands and pots and pans. Our water is pumped to our off-grid location via a solar powered water pump, so please fill up your vehicles before visiting our field.
- Safety
- First aid kit and fire extinguishers located at the field.
- Nearby shops
- The villages of West Dean, Boxgrove, or Sainsbury's in Chichester (with fuel).
