About Stud Farm

Take in the fabulous views over the Downs from your pitch at Stud Farm. If you're a traditional camper looking for some good ol' fashioned camping with basic facilities, to explore the sweeping countryside, the site has you covered. Pitches are on grass and suitable for tents and small campervans only (max 6 metres). Sorry, no caravans or motorhomes here. They are marked, allowing campers to choose which pitch they would like. The site welcomes everyone from backpackers to small campers. And, for large groups, the camping field can be hired for your gathering with an advanced booking. Well behaved dogs welcome but must be kept on a lead. Do note all under 21s must be accompanied by an adult.

Stud Farm is open from 22/03 to 06/10 in 2024 and from 04/04 to 04/10 in 2025.


Facilities and amenities

Facilities include a toilet and shower block with four toilets and two large warm showers and a washing up area. Please be aware that the shower pressure may vary. Fire pits are available to hire. Horse liveries are also available if you're arriving with yours.

Campers can purchase a range of organic meat from the farm including sausages and burgers, breakfast hampers and basic supplies. It's also just a 20 minute walk to the seafront, where wild swimming in the sea is possible. Three good pubs within a half hour's walk.

A note from the site themselves...

We are so proud of our site with an ideal location just off the beautiful South Downs Way, set in an Area of Outstanding Beauty with breathtaking views. It is in a perfect location for hiking, cycling or a family break, being only a 30 minute walk from the seafront.

The site is purposefully basic, this is a real back to basics camping so do be prepared as we have no thrills here but that's just the way we like it!

We can't wait to welcome you and hope you love it here as much as we do.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Stayed for one night to visit the Saltdean Lido nearby for their dog event. It was in a really convenient location, near to Peacehaven & Rottingdean beach. The Tesco express is just a 15 minute walk, which was great as we forgot a few bits. Clean showers & toilets. Great stock of BBQ pans, huge field with many pitches. The view was just insane, we were very lucky to get a great pink sunset which overlooked Peacehaven and the sea. Also a great view of the surrounding hills. When driving in and out we passed lots of cute animals including alpacas!

Superb, peaceful site in a great remote feeling location, yet still close to places to visit nearby. Basic facilities (as advertised) but clean nonetheless. Definitely recommend!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Basic and functional as we wanted. Feel there could be another toilet block maybe for the number of guests? Didn't love how windy it is up there but it's where it is obviously, so no fault there. Lovely and quiet, which we love. Would recommend 😀
