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.

I wanted to love it but unlevel pitch ruined our stay
We arrived late afternoon, and as the last motorhome in we had no choice of pitch, which was expected, but we did not expect to have a pitch which was unbelievably uneven. For the first time ever our fridge would not work and by morning food had gone off and... Show more

Lovely quiet site
We stayed here for a week for visiting family nearby. Spotlessly clean, spacious pitches - some with shade of trees, some without. Very helpful & friendly hosts. Great pub 5 mins walk away, with excellent food & live music while we were there in the gardens.
