 We only stayed for one night to try out a new tent but we had a lovely night. It is set in beautiful surroundings and is VERY peaceful. Other reviews state that it only has one toilet but there are now two which are basic but perfectly adequate and very clean. It has a shower block but as we didn't use it we cannot make a comment. We had a very pleasant walk across fields and along rivers and no traffic could be heard.
There does not appear to be any play area for children so this site is perfect for adults or families who enjoy peace and quiet. A wonderfully peaceful stay!

This site is a rare find. We visited last year and had a fantastic time, we came back again this year to see a new toilet and shower block much closer to the camping fields. This site has alot of charm, The young girl at the site was really helpful, provided us with a map and detailed directions to the pub which was well worth the walk. No ground fires this year which is a shame but understandable, We were fine with our BBQ anyway.
Fantastic site, very friendly and beautiful. Well worth the trip from London!

Lots of positives, and a few negatives but they really depend on what you are looking for.
This unspoilt traditional campsite is spread across 2 large and gently sloping fields, one of which runs down to a fishing lake.
Both camping fields are unlit and are sheltered by woodland on at least 2 sides, and there are various public bridleways running adjacent.
The site was very peaceful indeed during our 2 night stay and is set far enough away from any main roads so that there is no noticeable traffic noise at all. Occasional and very mild aircraft noise presumably from Gatwick airport (the airport being 15 or so miles to the north-east).
The few facilities are basic but well maintained, well lit and kept reasonably clean:
- One gents loo cubicle which also housed the hand basin
- Three ladies loos cubicles, hand basins in the foyer
- Ladies and gents showers
The above all being housed in a pair of seemingly temporary huts of heavy steel construction - much more like 'containers' than portacabins. These huts are located in the upper field - whereas most people are encouraged to camp in the lower field. Alas there is nowhere to shelter while you wait and nowhere to do your washing up :o(
It would appear that no electric hookup points are available.
We didn't spot a chemical disposal point, but didn't really look - worth checking with the site if you really need one.
Water is readily available from an outside tap by the toilet block.
There are no marked pitches or roadways so plenty of room to spread out.
There is no kids play area, but there is at least an old tractor that they can play on (supervision recommended), and tons of space in the middle of the fields for ball games, frisbee, etc.
There are no shops or pubs on-site or in the surrounding area, however the village of Henfield is less than 2 miles distant and is very well served. It has an Alldays-type shop that opens 7am thru 11pm most days, a Chinese takeaway, an Indian and a Kebab shop, as well as a few pubs and tea shops, banks, craft shop and a petrol station, etc…
Pricing was very simple indeed - £4 per person per night irrespective of the kind of camping accommodation, awnings, gazebos or extra vehicles (non-commercial) you choose to bring. Unclear whether there is an extra charge for dogs or whether prices vary by season.
The campsite was very quiet when we were there (a rainy bank holiday weekend) and it seems unlikely that you will need to book much in advance unless facilities are improved. With a little more investment this would be an ideal campsite for almost everyone, but it would probably become busy and lose some of its appeal – peace and quiet and bags of space.
Be aware that the fishing lake was not fenced off. Ditto another pond behind the lower field. This may be a consideration for families with young children. Or heavy drinkers!
The farm offers outdoor caravan storage, however security appeared somewhat lacking.
It is worth noting that Henfield is on the "Downslink" cycle track, which is mostly a former railway running from Guildford to Shoreham. Blacklands Farm might well serve as a good stopover for cyclists.
We really enjoyed our stay despite the lack of many of the more usual campsite facilities. The location was almost idyllic and the owner, Grahame, was very friendly and easy going.
We will almost certainly be heading back to Blacklands Farm for a weekend in the summer.

We have just returned after spending a weekend at the campsite. We had a very pleasant stay, there are 2 massive fields for camping and there is a carp lake right at the bottom of the bottom field
the campsite is very clean and quiet ( no litter ) with bins provided
the shower rooms & toilets are very clean and smell fresh which is great.
The lake is lovely with ducks & fish.
There are places which are nice for walking
Henfield is just up the road for shopping & pubs etc
Thanks for a lovely stay

A very pretty and quite site with lovely views over fishing lakes and fields. The facilities are basic and a bit of a distance from the tents but for a couple of nights it no big deal and I guess its reflected in the very cheap price. The farmer/manager was very friendly and helpful. Lots to do and see in the area. For those who like camping 'cowboy style' its perfect.

Very rural site, the lake being the most attractive part. As Caroline's review said bit vague on where to go once your on site as nobody around but then we we did arrive very late last night (Friday.) You do have to drive through a caravan storage area so don't think like we did your in the wrong place.
Although we knew there was a shower / toilet block we never found it which with small children was a nightmare for the loo. This must of been the case for others too judging by the evidence we found when having a wander with the kids not far from our tent.
We had to leave early due to wind, downpours & bored children. (lost a nights money but glad to be home)
Would recommend this site if your with a few friends and want to chill or enjoy the walks.
If you do have children make sure you have your own toilet facilities as it's a fair old trek back to the driveway and not practical. Quiet enough site to pay per night in case you have to leave.
Probably a great site for the summer!

As others have said, basic facilities but an idyllic spot for pitching a tent once away from the line of caravans and close to the carp fishing lake. Were there midweek and it was just us and 4 other tents. Owner very friendly, no fires allowed but barbecues are welcome. We did not arrive by car and it is quite a hike from Henfield but well worth it. Would definitely go back.

Wow, we had such a brilliant weekend here. Apart from to pay the farmer, we did'nt see a soul, it was lovely. This place is camping as it should be, in a wonderful meadow with a lake. We walked to the pub across a beautiful river and past a few fishing lakes, The pub, called the Royal Oak in Twineham was a wonderful old rickety pub with so much character. The facilities are a bit basic, a shower and a toilet but we really did'nt need much more than that. The surrounding countryside really is stunning. A worthwhile place to stay for a couple of nights. Great.

Dropped in for a quick look on our way home. No signs indicating there was camping at the farm, but found the brother of the farmer who was rather vague but said when there is not haymaking they do have campers.
There were a few ancient statics in the woods, and a line of newer caravans being stored.
Suspect that facilities are very very basic .. toilet maybe not sure about shower. If you are prepared to take a chance ..ring first ..and don`t mind a very basic campsite ..you might be plesantly surprised ...fields look pleasant. and in a very rural spot. But probably more suited to the rough camping types. probably very quiet. Chap we spoke to was down to help with the haymaking.
