Ditchling Camp
Ditchling, East Sussex
Ditchling Camp, ideally set in the South Downs National Park, is a place where loved ones can camp together and gather around the campfire. It offers spectacular views to the north and over the tempting Downs. Ditchling is the smaller of a group of sites - much loved for its separate camping areas and individual camping areas where it feels just like camping all alone!

There are 34 accommodation options on-site
25 x Fire Pit Pitches
Depending on the size of the party, there are areas available which are very secluded.

Site rules and policies
- There are no rubbish bins on site and we ask that all rubbish is taken away.
- Please only use existing fire pits. There are plenty of them.
- No disposable barbecues. They wreck the grass, make food taste horrible and are bad for the environment!
- You can only burn wood bought from us on the campfires. No foraging from local woods
