Just had a fantastic weekend at Burnbake in Purbeck, quiet site, camping in woods.

Anyway, we would now like a similar site (for tents, no EHU required) in the south East, either Kent or west/East Sussex.  But I am really struggling to find anything that fits the bill.  OH says his idea of a camping nightmare is a big open field!!!  We have 3 kids but prefer minimal "laid-on" entertainment.  Showers and toilets a must obviously and little shop would be nice!

I liked the sound of Park Farm in East Sussex but think this is the one someone was saying is really noisy!

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks, will defer to OH as he is the fussy one!  (I am slightly deaf and wear ear plugs!  .

Thinking about it, the site doesn't have to be small, as Burnbake was 130 pitches, it just didn't feel crowded thanks to trees and lack of laid-on entertainment.

Broadhembury Farm Holiday park is a very peacefull small (ish) site. Look beyond the holiday park in the title because it is definatly not (no bar etc). The facilitys are top notch & they do have an adult only section.There is loads to see & do nearby. They are the very first site listed on the Kent section in the campsite search facility on this site. I,ve spent a few nights there while introducing my girls to camping & can say hand on heart it was one of the quietest non wild sites I,ve stopped at. Well worth a visit.

Me again - sorry to anyone bored with this thread!

Although I am able to think for myself the suggestions were great so we tried to book Graffham but it was full so decided to give Robertsbrige a go.  We turned up but not sure we got the right place as there were lots of beaten up caravans all camped in a permanent way (windbeaks marking "gardens" and the grass had grown long around edges) all around the outside and dogs running loose.  Decided it was probably not for us so did a check of other local sites (keeping Robertsbridge in reserve) - but eventually ended up at the coast at Normans Bay.

Normans Bay was lovely, C&CC, no cramming in, very quiet!! We are C&CC converts and joined!  We even went to check out two other C&CC sites on the way home too!!

Thanks again!

PS Might try out Broadhembury someday too, but still looks a little too holiday park-ish to me.

You,ll be plesantly supprised. It really is a nice site.

We ( 2 adults 4 kids) went to Lordine in Robertsbridge over the last bank hol w/end.

We had a great time, staff really helpful, esp the bar staff who upon witnessing one of my lads having a strop cos he couldn't do what he wanted when he wanted, produced colouring/puzzle books for them all to do... I felt this was a lovely touch.

They have a bar, small playground, small shop and an out door pool, however you will need a car...to get anywhere

and the one down fall is the tent field is on a slope.... but we just pitched so we was sleeping feet down the hill ( if you see what I mean)
