Stud Farm Campsite sits in the historic, unspoilt village of Telscombe, Telscombe Village, East Sussex, on a working organic farm at the foot of the South Downs. This is genuine back-to-basics camping for tents and small camper vans, with amazing views across the Downland and sea, a toilet and shower block, drinking water, and a washing-up area. Dogs and families are welcome, and there's a Coffee Barn in the old Flint Barn serving barista coffee, hot food, and free wifi with indoor and outdoor seating. You can also stay in individually themed bell tents or book an alpaca walk during your visit. The seafront is around a 30 minute walk away, with Saltdean beach 1.6 miles away and Southease station 2.2 miles away.
