Bramley Park Camping

Back-to-basics South Downs field with communal fires, an excellent pizza van, and an owner who clearly cares.

Bramley Park sits in a grassy field on the edge of Polegate, with views across to the South Downs National Park rolling south. Harry has run it since 2020 with a straightforward ethos: clean loos and showers, communal fires, and good food on site from the pizza and breakfast-roll van.

The South Downs are the draw. From camp you have direct walking access into the national park, with the Seven Sisters coast reachable via the Wealdway and other nearby trails. Eastbourne is easy access if you want a seafront afternoon. The pub is a stroll away for an evening pint.

Accommodation ranges from your own tent to hired bell tents, including a large Emperor tent well-suited to a group celebrating something. Families with young children are well-catered for, with a play area on site. Dogs are welcome. The entrance track can be muddy after wet weather, so check conditions before arriving in early or late season.

Before you book

  • The entrance track to the field can be muddy and slippery in wet weather, particularly early and late season.
