Camping in SussexCamping in Sussex, especially close to the South Downs, is a real treat. There are a few, really delightful sites situated close to the Downs in various rural locations. Some camping sites are more rustic than others. Some permit caravans and camper vans - if in doubt it's best to contact them in advance.
Camping in Sussex - just north of Brighton:
Blackberry campsite, Streat (near Ditchling) A quiet, delightfully located site, a little off the beaten track, but wonderful if you want a totally natural setting with just the local wildlife for company. The village of Ditchling, with a couple of good pubs serving hot meals, Dolly's Pantry - bakers and tea rooms, Chestertons deli and the Post Office, is about 2-3 miles away. You can actually walk across country from the site to Ditchling.
Camping in Sussex - just east of Brighton:
Sheepcote Valley, East Brighton campsite (near Brigthon Marina) As yet, this is a bit of an unknown quantity for me. From its website, it is clearly quite a big site, primarily for caravans. Its location in the Downs just along the coast from Brighton, could be great for access to the nearby beaches. If you're travelling by train then go into Brighton and then take public transport the 2/3 miles to the site. Need a tent or camping equipment? Visit our new online store.

Washington Campsite Set not far from Chanctonbury Ring in beautiful countryside, this campsite is within easy access of the South Downs Way. I cannot comment further as I have not visited it, but it sounds clean and in a good position not far from the A24 just north of Worthing and a couple of miles east of Storrington. Slindon Park Campsite This campsite is located in an orchard in Slindon Park, which is set in 3,500 acres of land owned by the National Trust. It is a haven for wildlife and has beautiful views across the coastal plain of West Sussex. Slindon is a delightful old Sussex village, just off the A27 not far from Arundel.
