Campsite Advice East Sussex / Kent

[Papa Lazarou]

Having recently purchased a campervan, we're looking to go away over the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend. We're dropping our dogs off with a dog sitter near Lewes, so rather than drive too far West again, can anyone recommend a good family campsite in East Sussex or just into Kent?

We have two kids, aged 9 and 13, if that helps.

What about Dorset?

What about Dorset?

Best holiday we've had in many years was in Dorset last summer, but for a two night stay we'd like to go a little more local. Plus, as I said we're going via Lewes, so going back West would be a pain.

It might do, but knowing them as I do, I think you'll be out of luck. Try striking a more traditional cash deal.

Ok. They're no longer part of the deal.

Lovely county though

If there truly is nothing to see East of Brighton, then I'll happily amend our plans and spend a bit longer to get to the New Forest.

Not been for 15years (ish) but as a kid used to love Heaven Farm.

http://www.parkfarmcamping.co.uk/ Me and the family have a season pitch here , very relaxed , Bodiam castle a 25 minute riverside walk away . Can highly recommend .

Or you could try http://www.wowo.co.uk/ We used to visit here often before getting the caravan , lovely place.

Both sites will sell you logs fro an open camp fire , which adds to the camping experience.

Isn't there a camp site at the bottom of Wilson Avenue ?

I've just had a look at the Park Farm price list, and they only give you £4 for a child, or a fiver on Bank Holidays. You should be able to raise more than that shirley.

Join the Caravan Club -about £40.00 per annum and this gives you access to all their very well-appointed sites. HQ is in East Grinstead, but all can be done online. Then look at Fairlight Wood, near Hastings or Battle -both lovely sites. IF you have a dog, or like walking, then Fairlight is ideal, as it has miles of woodland nearby, plus within 2 minutes walk, one of the best pub/restaurants. Best to check availability, as you will have left it rather late.By chance we are at Daleacres this coming weekend, near Hythe.
Hope this helps

A great family pub in nearby Blackboys

Look up "Chestnut Meadow" - near Bexhill.

Great site. Open space for football. Tarmac oval road for bikes/scooters. Indoor games room (pool, air hockey, full size snooker, shuffleboard, table football. ping pong). Excellent facilities generally + an unusually good café/bar on site - but all still small and friendly.

A few we've been to, or friends have been to and said were good. Been to Wowo a few times, and it is great for the kids. You won't see your two for most of the weekend

There's a few nice sites on Romney Marsh which is a great area for kids to explore. Lots of child-friendly country pubs too.
