Earth Camp

We absolutely adored our stay at Earthcamp we found a spot under trees. It's so chilled out and relaxing. There's a real family vibe and the owners couldn't be more friendly and helpful. My 7yr old Sons Highlight was the Rope swing and being able to have a fire. We would definitely recommend joining in the Yoga session and had a massage to completely feel at peace. It absolutely chucked it down with rain on our 2nd night but the Pizza truck visited and we stuffed our faces in the tent. Would definitely go back again for more fun and there's more therapies to try. 🥰

Beautiful location with trees around the field, Rachel and Will are v friendly and welcoming and cannot do enough to help you. We stayed in a bell tent and Rachel lent us blankets as it was cold at night. The food wagon was v good and was v popular. The showers were warm and great after a hiking the S Downs Way. When we stayed at the end of June the campsite was full (150 people) and there were some noisy kids until 1 am and adults till 2 am nearby. There was no electricity in the bell tent for charging your phones and 1 bar phone signal in 1 place. What I couldn’t cope with were the toilets which had a bad design and got blocked immediately under the seats and were rank. Otherwise it was a lovely campsite run by v good people.

Liked: Spacious, clean, beautiful surroundings and secluded. The owner provides outdoor games, including football goals, which was wonderful, free to use firepits and wood for sale. A small woodland to explore with a rope swing and hammock in the trees 🌳 😀 We really enjoyed our stay. Disliked: The gaps in the toilet doors mean that everyone walking past can see you sitting on the toilet. I had to take a blanket in with me so I could sit down for a number 2 in the morning. Not the best, so my suggestion would be to fill in those gaps for our privacy.

Liked: This was a very peaceful campsite and family friendly. I liked the sound of the drumming on the Saturday morning and the Gong Bath experience I booked was very relaxing. Disliked: The composting toilets were not a favourite aspect for my 8 year-old child.

Liked: Laid back vibe at the campsite. Opportunity to do things like yoga and have a massage. Spacious bell tents. The location. The showers and the eco friendly show gels/shampoo. The pizza van - delicious pizzas. Disliked: Whilst I understand the need for compost toilets on a campsite, they did get a bit smelly on a hot weekend. I think an additional hand washing/tooth brushing area near the entrance toilets would have been good. Shame the food van wasn't there on our visit.

Liked: I needed somewhere to stay dry late in the day (10 pm) and Earth Camp responded, and late arrival was no problem . Very nice, quiet camp with clean rustic loos and bathrooms. Fire pits a nice addition Disliked: Some low distant traffic noise early morning . Most wouldn't care but I notice any road noise !

Pros: really pretty. There's a woodland area, a fantastic coffee and snacks van in the morning. Fab pizza in the evening (order in advance!). Reiki was great. Showers basic but roomy and warm water. Lots of sink and water points. Staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming and the yoga was great too. Slight negatives: Toilets are basic (no flush, just a hole!) and of the composting variety, it can get a little ripe, but most seasoned campers will be familiar with this. Some campers kept blocking them up which was a little annoying but there are signs on how to use so not sure why that was happening. It's on a hill, so it's likely you may end up pitched on a slopey area, we were a bit unlucky in that most flat ground was already in use by the time we arrived. Noise Levels: To be clear, I couldn't fault the owners who seemed absolutely lovely. However..... It was so noisy both during the day and past midnight into the early hours for the two nights we stayed. As a child free camper hoping for a restful, yoga, Reiki camping experience, it wasn't peaceful. Children running around yelling unsupervised well past midnight and then groups of adults shouting, yelling, playing loud music into the early hours. As a seasoned camper (including music festivals) I was really surprised. There are some basic courtesies about camping that many seemed oblivious to: respecting other campers space and just being a little considerate seemed to be beyond many of the other campers' comprehension. The poor owners did suggest to guests that they be a bit quieter lately at night but nothing seemed to work. I got the sense from the owners that this was unusual and perhaps just bad luck for the weekend we stayed. I feel a bit sad because on paper it sounds right up my alley but I won't be going back, I'm really sorry. However, if you want a fun weekend away with a group of adults and all the kids, it might just be the ideal campsite!

Beautiful, peaceful and perfect for families! My daughter loved the swings and exploring the faerie Woods. The facilities were clean and practical and there was lots of space so the campsite didn’t feel too crowded. We especially loved the Coffee and the lovely welcoming owners Will and Rachel. Looking forward to returning next year
