       dustyboy,  i   have  just   got  back  from  there  myself,    in  the  town   there  is  a  store  called  Tradeing  posts ,    i  was  impressed  with  what  they  sold  for  campers,  there  is  allso  a  millets.

   Are  you  going  to  shearbarn ?

Yeah that is the place.Any good?Thanks for tips,D.

   Yes  its  a  good  large  site ,  The  shower/ toilet block  in  the  tent  field  could  be  better, so i  recomend you  use  the  shower  block  that will  be  on  your  left  directly  as  you  go  through  the  entry barrier.  If  your  in  the  non  elec. field  you  may  want  to  use the  car  to   get   there  as  its  a bit  of  a  walk  to  have  a   shower,  but  you  will  see what  i  mean  when  you compare  them.

  You  get  an  entry  pass to  get  through  barrier  and  this  pass  gets  you  into  that  shower  block.

 Try  to  get  there  as  early  as   poss. as  on  bank  hols  gets  very, very  busy by the  friday  night.   I think  aug. bank  hols  is  there  busiest   weekend  of  the  year.

   What  i  like  about   the  non  elec.  field  (which  is  very  large)  you  can  pitch  where  ever  you  want.

Have  a  good  weekend.

Hi, I don't know about Hastings but Eastbourne next door has 2 very good camping shops on a road called Seaside which runs parallel to the seafront in the main shopping centre.  We only know that as our tent was destroyed by gales whilst we were there in June and we had to replace it from one of these shops!

Hope you don't need them - have a good weekend

Hi Dustyboy

The Tradeing post is not open on a Sunday ....... there is a a handy shop called ESK-or-EKS, not camping as such, but have some cheapy stuff

Heading toward London on the A21 about 3 miles out of Hastings is Johns Cross and another couple miles up the road Caravan Tech in Hurst Green, both are very good camping shops

Drive carefully the A21 is notoriously bad road from Flimwell down to Hastings
