About Hook Farm Campsite
A back-to-basics off-grid campsite nestled away in the heart of the Sussex countryside, five minutes from the Bluebell Railway. This is a great choice for those looking to have a traditional authentic camping experience. A maximum of 15 bookings are allowed onsite at any one time, and all the pitches are non electric on grass for tents and allow up to six people each. There are four different fields on the site each with their own unique character. When you arrive you are in charge or where you pitch and can choose from any of the fields. The top field has pitches with far reaching views including some right across to the South Downs. The lower pitches are secluded tree lined meadows tucked away near the valley bottom. The campsite is just a five minute walk from the picturesque village of West Hoathly, where you can find two fantastic village pubs, both serving excellent food. The Priest House museum is also in the village centre for those interested in local history. Campfires are allowed and firewood can be purchased on arrival at the site. Well behaved dogs are welcome onsite.
The campsite is open for weekends between 3rd May and 15th September.
An almost wild camping experience with both composting and chemical toilets, as well as wash basics. There is a shower trailer with four cubicles providing warm showers. Please note the site is off grid so there is no power onsite.
For nearby eating, The Cat Inn is just a five minute walk away and The Fox Eating and Drinking House is just a 15 minute walk away. Stock up on supplies at the nearby Sainsbury's and Tesco supermarkets, a 15 minute drive away.

Ridiculously spacious, there weren't even really any pitches at all, just a few fields surrounded by woodland where you could pitch wherever. Very quiet, all I could hear at night were owls, and very serene. Would recommend to those who are not put off by composting loos.
Nice place and nice welcome
