About the site
This family friendly site is a peaceful rural retreat that welcomes families, well behaved groups and couples. With Brighton just half an hour down the road, home to stunning pebble beaches, this is a great choice to explore both the countryside and coast. Barcombe Mills is also only 15 minutes away too, a popular wild swimming and paddleboarding spot. There are grass pitches without electric. These spacious pitches allow tents, trailer tents and campervans to set up at this lovely spot. A great site for family get-togethers with an abundance of space for pitches to group together on request. There are also 5m bell tents available to hire furnished with a double bed and bedding. Three single camp beds can be set-up to accommodate extra children. On a Saturday evening, you can relax and let the site owners cook you up some delicious pizzas. Dogs are allowed, but please keep them on the lead at all times as there are resident farm animals, including sheep, alpacas and camels! Fire pits can be provided and are perfect for toasting marshmallows after a busy day exploring, or for relaxing around under the stars.

Had a great stay at Tomkins Farm. The campsite is in a beautiful location, spacious, easy laid-back arrival, and the facilities are exactly what you might need. A fantastic price, too, it was really nice that each pitch came with a firepit. Would absolutely visit again.
A great stay!
