Netherfield Place Farm Camping is a scenic site in a rural East Sussex setting. Surrounded by the lush countryside of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - and with great westerly views for extra-special sunsets - this quiet campsite is conveniently located on the edge of the village of Netherfield, an easy half-mile walk from its cafe, pub and post office. This flat and well-maintained site has plenty of space, ensuring a good level of privacy and plenty of room for all your camping kit. Netherfield Place Farm Camping is located at the end of an unmade road, meaning there's minimal traffic noise. Ultra-low light pollution is another perk of staying here, boding well for outdoor activities like family stargazing
if you are looking for a camp isolated from the world where you have to survive without the use of electricity, water, toilets, emergency system and telephone field this is the right place. The services offered on the website do not exist on site, you will not find anything, far from the main road and to reach it you need a tall vehicle that can walk on mud in case it starts to rain, there are no receptions, you are completely ALONE! I do not recommend it for those who want to spend time in a camping tent, if you want you can venture with something that is autonomous of everything and that can walk off the road.
No hot water. Came here for a peaceful no frills weekend and had a huge group turn up and pitch a 100 yards away. Had to complain the first night as the children (we counted at least 22) were screaming from one end of the campsite to the other at gone 11 pm. The constant noise and zero spatial awareness ( running behind our tent and walking within 2 feet of the front) just ruined the weekend for us
Liked: Great of the grid wild camping site plenty of space to rock up and enjoy the lovely countryside. Compost toilets lovely and clean
Liked: Absolute gem of a campsite. A lovely big field in the middle of the countryside. A perfect place for a quiet getaway. Pitch where ever you like, need good set of levels if like us you're in a van but otherwise no problem. A huge field surrounded by countryside, so peaceful and tranquil. Love the eco aspects, outdoor showers/ compost and free fire pits. It seems that Dan and Grace have addressed most issues on previous reviews and we saw Dan daily. Sketchy phone signal and WiFi but nice to switch off for a couple of days. Yes the track down to field is long and bumpy, just take it slow are careful. Great footpath walk from farm to village for pub shop and cafe. Great little fishing/nature pond to set and listen to nature. Nice and dark in the evenings so great for stargazing. A couple of groups of teenagers where there when we were and they were very well behaved and respected the site rules. If you want to pitch up and get away from everything and just chill out or enjoy nature, you'll love this site Disliked: Might have been a good idea to open another toilet as by out 2nd day there were around 25 people using just the 2. A bit of a wait and was a bit full by the end, but otherwise all was great
Liked: What a lovely big field and fantastic little forest to walk in as well. A beautifully green little spot, and not crowded at all. The toilets seemed very eco-friendly and functional as well as being clean. The shower looked like fun but I have my own, so I didn't use them. I went during the school holidays and was surprised to find it so quiet- I'd recommend this for people who are looking for a quiet spot- There were a couple of large family groups with kids, but the place is big enough that it remained very peaceful. Disliked: The signage makes it a tiny bit tricky, but not that difficult. Look for handpainted 'camping' signs.
Liked: Quiet and rural location, feels like you are miles from anywhere. Field has a bevel in the middle and flat around the edges, bordered by hedgerows and woodland which offers a nice dawn and dusk chorus from the birds. Well mown. Only minimal road noise in the background. Spacious and quiet with room for families to play; was only one other group when I stayed way across the other side, so it was peaceful. Back to basics and no phone reception for an off-grid. Disliked: No communication with owner - tried calling and messaging to inform him of a last minute booking - confirmation says to check in with 'reception', but what reception? There is no signage other than pointing out the camping field. I walked to the farm houses but it was not clear who was the field owner, so I didn't want to go knocking on doors. Some form of greeting or check from the campsite owner would have been nice, or signage of where to report to (if you need to), I could have just walked in and pitched without paying. Guess it is done on honesty policy! As others have said, the access track is broken down to the binder course layer, not just rough or gravelly - recommend crawling along slowly and certainly not suitable for lowered or prized cars! I had a quick cold shower as the guide said 'press start button' - what start button? - but not to worry. Brought my own loo roll as compost toilet had none, but it did have sawdust and hand sanitiser (no lights in the shed)
Good for kids
Dogs allowed
