The Secret Campsite is a small, tents-only site set in a meadow surrounded by ancient woodland near Cooksbridge, about five miles north of Lewes in East Sussex.

With just 21 pitches, it emphasizes nature, space, and quiet — campfires are permitted, cars and dogs are kept out of the camping field, and a 10 pm quiet policy lets the sounds of wildlife take over.

Visitors regularly spot kestrels, owls, deer, and — in summer — glow worms. Beyond standard tent pitches, the site offers three unique glamping shelters: a Tree Tent suspended between oak trees, a Gridshell, and an Okra.

Facilities include hot showers, flushing toilets, covered washing-up areas, and EV charging in its award-winning Wash House. Guests park near the reception, then use trolleys to wheel gear along a path and over an old brick railway bridge into the meadow.

The site sits within a 15-minute drive of the South Downs.
