A stay at Fairlight Wood Club Campsite is almost like taking a soothing break in a large and lovely garden. This is a small and intimate campsite set in flower rich woodland and with many quaint footpaths to wander along. The area is rich in historic value - the nearby seaside town of Hastings was William the Conqueror's base camp in 1066 and it was here he chose to build his famous castle following the historic victory at Battle.
Fairlight Wood Club Campsite offers a perfect retreat for nature lovers - its surrounding woodlands are listed as a Biodiversity area so are ideal for spotting wildlife. It's also in an ideal location for dog walking. The nearby Old Hastings is well worth the visit for its quiet charm - here you can watch the fisherman bringing home their daily catch, eat some of the freshest fish and chips you've ever tasted and then walk the meal off with a leisurely stroll along streets that still hold the atmosphere of days gone by. Choosing a holiday in East Sussex also puts you within a short distance from the scenic East Cliffs, and for walkers who enjoy a bit of a challenge, it connects with a lovely 5 mile Country Park walk which will lead you through a wealth of natural treats such as wooded valleys and secluded beaches. Look out for The Big White House in nearby Pett Level which was featured in the Channel Four series, Grand Designs.

Beautiful quiet site
Lovely site in woodland, friendly staff, lovely pub a short walk away. Not for kids though little for them to do I’d say. Been several times now - a favourite site.

2nd Visit
This site is perfect for us ! Close to the beach, next door to Guestling woods for our dog walks. Surrounded by woodland too and in walking distance of The Two Sawyers pub, that serves great food. It is well managed too.

Without repeating other reviews I’ll just say that we love this site. It’s an hour’s drive for us and so we will be regular visitors. Calming, tranquil and peaceful right in the woods. April time is probably the best time to visit for the bluebells and wood anemones. Listening to... Show more
