Kitt's Cottage Campsite

A woodland campsite on a 100-acre South Downs estate where every pitch comes with a fire pit and the nearest pub is a 10-minute walk through the trees.

Kitt's Cottage Campsite sits within the High Weald AONB and the South Downs, 100 acres of woodland and meadow that the owners Claire and Davey have shaped into a back-to-basics site with genuine character. Fire pits come with every pitch as standard, firewood is delivered to your pitch, and the facilities are housed in a rustic field barn that suits the surroundings.

The setting does real work here: quiet country lanes, woodland walks from the gate, and Sheffield Park nearby for days you want to range further. The Sloop pub is a 10-minute walk and a local farm shop is at the same distance, which means you can eat well without needing a car. Bell tent glamping is available alongside the grass pitches, making this a site that works for couples wanting a first-glamping-trip as much as families who bring their own canvas.

Pitches are spacious and most come with a table and bench. The facilities block is clean and well-maintained; shower capacity is modest so early risers have an easier time. Dogs are welcome on lead. The owners are present and hands-on, and the site enforces a no-music policy with quiet from 10pm.

Before you book

  • Only two showers in the facilities block; expect a queue at peak times.
  • Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead throughout.
