“Saw on the blog you tried out a new campsite. So did we!

We went to Warbleton Farm

Apart from lots of rain and hence mud, it was really good. The lady running the camping bit of the farm was friendly and helpful. It’s the most off-grid camping we’ve done yet – not even a tap in sight!

The website describes a few rules but these seem to be red herrings – having gotten there, they’re very relaxed. It said no cars next to pitch – but you can (although we chose not to leave car there – drove down, unpacked then went and parked up hill near road for fear of getting stuck in mud. Camping lady came and gave us a lift back to car with all our stuff in her Land Rover).

All pitches have a nice picnic bench and fire pit with BBQ Grill. We bought logs and kindling – which were huge, plentiful and dry (so burnt well).

We stayed in the bell tent (as no car big enough to lug all our camping gear plus dog at the moment… plans to change that in near future) near which were two other separate pitches, but both were vacant.

If you fancied trying it I would recommend Oak #1 – It is flat, just by the stream (has a rope swing if you’re into that sort of thing) and has loads of space either to spread out and relax or could accommodate a group booking with multiple tents easily.

Short walk (20 minutes ish) to a pub that does brilliant food (The Black Duck). Not aware of any shops within easy walking distance.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be going back there at some point.”
