Why you'll love it at The South Downs Eco Lodge & Camping


About the site


The campsite is nestled in over 50 acres of stunning woodland and downland, offering beautiful views all around. It's owned by a charity and is a welcoming spot for families, youth groups, D of E adventurers, school groups and anyone who loves nature. The majority of pitches suit a 4-man tent, but there are a limited number for 6-man tents, so please enquire for these. All pitches are set on grass, without electric, and include a number of main campsite pitches with a couple of secluded camping bays. Each pitch comes with a fire pit for cosy evenings around the campfire. For those who want a little more comfort, there are two yurts onsite. Both are fully furnished, with warm stoves and comfy beds. One yurt sleeps up to four, while the mini yurt is perfect for two.

Open from 3 January to 20 December
