Glamping & Camping in Bodiam, East Sussex
Unplug and relax on our family-friendly, eco-glamping and camping site. We’re off-grid, wifi free, with no noise or light pollution. Bliss!
Stay in handbuilt shepherd’s huts, nestled amongst ancient woodland, or in our riverside campsites on our peaceful family farm.
Our onsite cafe, The Hub, has a menu full of locally sourced deliciousness, and hampers available for campers and glampers, plus pizza nights every Friday.
Go wild swimming or hire a paddle board or kyak. Walk to Bodiam Castle and the local pub. Hop on a steam train. Or just relax in front of the campfire and enjoy the countryside.
Our site is managed with the aim of having the lowest environmental impact and you’ll be immersed in a truly biodiverse habitat. A rare experience nowadays!
As we actively protect local wildlife we don’t allow dogs in the campsite or Shepherd’s Hut areas. But they are very welcome in our cafe, The Hub.
GLAMPING IN BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE & SUSTAINABLE SHEPHERD'S HUTS
Handbuilt by Nick here on the farm, in the tiny village of Bodiam in East Sussex, our beautiful huts are sited in sunny glades in the ancient woodland we have been rewilding since 2008.
Each hut sleeps up to five people and comes fully-equipped for your stay.
Based on the idea of an old Shepherd’s hut, what makes them unique in today’s market is that (in true agricultural fashion) they are built using reclaimed, recycled and locally sourced materials wherever possible.
Sorry, no dogs!
