Now that Shearbarn in Hastings no longer accepts tents, does anybody know if Stalkhurst has improved at all . I believe that it is now the only site in Hastings and we have stayed there a couple of times in the past but only when we couldn't find anything else. Although ,if you search for it on the net you will see nice detail and pic's it is not stated that it is in the middle of an industrial estate, poorly maintained with set temp showers that where not very clean the last time we were there.

If anybody has been there within the last few months, can you let me know if it has improved at all please. I am hoping that it has done so as I expect they now have what would have been the Shearbarn site custom up until they stopped taking tents.

Hi Annette, sorry to hear Shearbarn has stopped taking tents, wonder why there is bags of space there. 25 miles east along the coast there is Marlie Farm which has everything you could need for the kids. Place teams with rabbits as big as Romney marsh  sheep (nearly). Only detrimental comment is the facility block is somewhat antiquated although it's always been clean when I've been there.....Mick

The reason they stopped taking tents is because they have put 136 new caravans and lodges in their place, after a 1.7 million expansion plan. It's such a shame. The locals were not happy either.

Battle is a very pretty and historic village I would try there for a camp site.

Hi everyone, thanks to all who replied, I have only just logged on and seen the messages.

Annette,

or try kloofs - this site is reviewed on the appropriate part of this website, takes tents, has really clean facilities, and is a short drive up the road from Hastings. Thoroughly recommended, although it is very quiet, but loads of room for kiddies to charge around.
