Camping

Tucked away in a secluded water meadow on the stunning Shermanbury Place estate, this is a spot where nature takes centre stage. With the River Adur gently trickling by and panoramic views of the rolling South Downs and the historic Chanctonbury Ring - an ancient Iron Age fort - is a beautiful camping site.
Depending on the season, you may hear cuckoos, nightingales, turtle doves, and woodpeckers, while the riverbanks are often visited by herons, mistle thrushes, snipe, teal, and swans. Occasionally, even the majestic storks from the nearby Knepp Wildland make an appearance.

Quiet, secluded, serene and safe, wild camping at Shermanbury Place will give you everything you are looking for, and more..

After turning off the main road, you'll follow a bumpy farm track before crossing a small concrete bridge into the meadow. The terrain can be uneven, especially in spring due to grazing animals, so a 4x4 is recommended for the smoothest arrival.

For small groups, please book here.

For larger groups (over 4 adults and 4 children), parties, stag/hen, retreats, etc. please contact us directly here.

For last-minute bookings. Email or call us here.

And don’t forget…

You can pitch your own tent, hire in bells, bring your camper (subject to the ground surface) or sleep wild. Your camping experience is YOURS, so we want you to enjoy it that way.

Also…

We allow dogs.

Oh yes. Your furry friends are a part of your life and should be a part of your stay.

Pitch it.
