About Fox Wood Camping
This woodland camping site has everything you need for an adventure. Perfect for family groups, the spacious and secluded camping areas are well spaced within a 35-acre private woodland, each having their own campfire. The site offers a fun camping experience for families with young children (no adult-only groups). There's lots of space to relax and room to pitch beside friends or for multiple family groups to camp together. The site is only ten minutes from East Preston and Goring beach. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead whilst on the campsite.
Fox Wood Camping is open on the following dates for 2024: 03/05 to 05/05, 10/05 to 11/05, 17/05 to 18/05, 24/05 to 01/06, 07/06 to 08/06, 14/06 to 15/06, 21/06 to 22/06, 28/06 to 29/06, 05/07 to 06/07, 12/07 to 13/07, 19/07 to 20/07, 26/07 to 31/08, 06/09 to 07/09, 13/09 to 14/09 and 20/09 to 21/09.
Onsite facilities include five female and three male toilets, urinals, gas powered camp showers and an indoor and outdoor washing up area - all spotlessly clean. There is a small shop onsite selling logs and fire lighting tools, along with items such as toothbrushes and batteries, as well as a tuck shop which sells sweets and ice lollies.
A vehicle with low impact tyres is available on site for those taking large loads of equipment (and two passengers) for an extra charge. Cars are otherwise parked down a central track running halfway into the wood, with plenty of forest to play in without the worry of cars beyond that.
A local pub, The Fox, with a full outside play area is just a five minute walk from the main entrance. The Worlds End pub is also only a 15 minute walk away. Shops, supermarkets and more are available at Durrington nearby.

Lovely woodland campsite in the South Downs, convenient for Worthing and Brighton. Fox Wood is a lovely site, with pitches in the woods. The choice of location with more undergrowth or in more open areas is very good. It's also great that each pitch has its own fire pit. The open field for games is very nice and plenty of kids were taking full advantage when we visited. There's also a slide and rope swing, which were very popular. The showers, toilets and washing area is clean, pleasant and there was plenty of hot water. The cost isn't cheap, but no complaints and I'll definitely consider returning.

Well! This site is amazing. It's just what we needed to teach my partner's son there's is more to life than technology (computers/games). It was perfect for his pre-birthday gift too. The site was safe, and it was just lovely to be with nature! Having such large pitches was fantastic and enough room between pitches. The purpose made firepits where ideal! The owners were so friendly and having a small shop was handy too! Showers and toilets were clean and looked after. Site was easy to find too. Thank you for a relaxing short stay. Looking forward to coming back again!

Things to do on site and in the Patching area
The woodland is a super natural playground for the children and there are so many places to explore on the South Downs. Turn left out of the gate and onto a single track dead end lane and then off into 1,300 acres of private estate with footpaths and bridleways.
The beach at Goring-by-Sea is the ideal day out for families, with plenty of retro charm and ice creams on hand to help you cool off.
The town of Worthing is also close by and offers a sparkling pier full of amusements.
The historic town of Arundel is also close by with a castle and walks around the bird sanctuary at the Wetlands Trust.
Other great things to see and do include:
- Cissbury Ring
- Highdown Gardens
- West Wittering Beach
