Established touring caravan site and campsite in a highly popular location in the South Downs National Park.

 

Three asphalt tennis courts constructed in the 1980s to operate in conjunction with the indoor centre are located on the southern side of the farm track sitting below the barn. They benefit from floodlighting and are enclosed by chain link fencing though the surfaces are presently in a poor state of repair.

CERTIFIED LOCATION CARAVAN SITE
A Certified Location touring caravan site with electric hook up points and water standpipes, is located beyond the outdoor tennis courts, situated within an attractive pasture field.

CAMPSITE
Beyond the touring caravan site and set within the adjoining pasture field running along the valley bottom is the campsite, presently operating under the 28 day rule and also benefiting from a number of electric hook up points and water standpipes. The site is served by shower/toilet blocks. The site is in a very popular tourist area and there is good potential to extend the camping season (subject to all necessary consents).
