 We have just returned from a 2 night stay at Alfriston campsite. We are a family of three and found the campsite had everything we needed.
The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful, which started from the moment we arrived. Roy the owner is very welcoming and is on hand for advice on the local area.
The toilets and showers are adequate and clean. It would be great to have a shower block in the tent field in the future.
Our 2 yrs old girl really enjoyed herself. We visited Drusillas Zoo which is a 5 min drive away which was fantastic. The local village has all the shops that you need to restock supplies or grea pubs and restaurants to eat out in. There are lots of walking routes to take from the campsite which we tried to embark on.
Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and will definitely return for another break.

We stayed here in August and despite not particularly good weather we had a lovely weekend. The campsite is lovely and quiet with simple and clean amenities - exactly as described and what we were after.
The location is beautiful and peaceful and other campers seem to keep themselves to themselves and keep the noise to a minimum after about 10.30pm.
The new shower blocks for the men have been built and the ladies are being done next month but even so they were acceptable with a handy little kitchen area with a fridge/kettle/microwave if ever you wanted to use it.
We took 4 teenage girls with us and they all managed to keep themselves entertained by going for walks to the local village and keeping a camp fire going (in a fire pit) for the most of the weekend - exactly what camping should be about - not commercialised!
We will definitely be going back to this one - we think we've found a nice little site that's not over crowded - and also a good price.
Great site owner too, friendly and approachable. Thanks for a lovely weekend :)

Stayed here in the week before and the weekend of the bank holiday. Its a lovely, basic site. The showers and facilities are ok - better for the men than for the ladies, but Roy, the ever helpful owner, did recommend that my partner used the mens showers during the week when it was quiet. He also promised a further refurb for october, when the whole shower block is going to be improved.
During the week, the site was really quiet, and a lovely space, despite the weather, but my only complaint would be that it was probably a bit too full for the bank holiday. Part of the main field had been reserved for a rally, but everyone else was sardined in - to the point, where we went out for the day, and found a tent in the spot where we normally left our car ( ie - very close). The caravan field was virtually empty, and you can't help but think that a bit of common sense should have prevailed to make more room for the normal campers.
Alfriston is a lovely little village, with plenty of eating out options, and the surrounding area is great for walking and days out to brighton, beachy head, cuckmere haven, eastbourne. The list is almost endless!
We don't often return to campsites, but would definitely go back to his one if we happened to be back in this area.

We made our second visit to Alfriston Camping Park the Thursday and Friday prior to the August Bank Holiday, on arrival there was plenty of space to pitch the tent. There was part of the field roped off for a motorcaravan rally but still a good half left for private campers.
The weather was very wet on the first night but fortunately the new tent held up and the field didn't become water logged. The gents showers were much improved to our first visit as they were out of order on that visit. Nice that you don't have to pay for them and there is plenty of hot water. There is apparently another shower planned for the gents for next season.
Not sure about the female facilities as didn't use.
Toilets were clean and stocked with paper, a bit of a walk from the tent field but there is a portaloo up there you can use if you don't want to walk so far.
All in all lovely stay and good value for money at £6 pppn, no extras for the car or if we put a wind break up.

I've been to Alfriston Camping with my kids aged 12 and 14. Low-priced, quiet rural place on a horse farm with plenty of space and a nice view on the hills. They have separate sites for tents, caravans and mobile homes. There is no electricity on the tents' site. The showers and toilets are basic but clean, with enough room.
Roy, the owner, comes along at least twice the day; he is always helpful.
The village Alfriston is only a some-minutes walk away and has a cute shop with everything you need (not really cheap of course), non-food and food including organic bread, baguettes, croissant and stuff.
We stayed two nights on our way from Germany to the South-West, and we liked it. Also to take a trip to Brighton, Alfriston is a convenient and non-expensive base camp.

We have just returned from another relaxing stay at The Alfriston camping park with some friends.This camp site is a great place to go for a real switch off from the out side world, take your dogs for a great long walk to the pub for lunch and sit around in the evening chatting to friends.It got a bit windy and wet on the Saturday night and it was nice to see Roy the owner checking on everyone in the morning to ensure they were all OK. Great new mens shower block & my wife is looking forward to the ladies being done next year.

My wife and I spent an impromptu weekend break in Alfriston. We hadn't booked and turned up in the hope of a space. As the campsite is spacious we had no problems.
When we visited, the hot showers and toilets were clean and free of charge. The Gents have been refurbished and there are plans to improve the ladies facilities by the end of the year.
On arrival we found a quiet edge of the main field for our tent. Having no car we used public transport which was easy to arrange from Brighton. The surrounding area was rolling Downland with many paths to explore. The location of the site is great as you have good access to the hills and to the village of Alfriston. Given the accessibility and good location we would visit again.

Highly recommend this site. Just spent four enjoyable nights at this basic, straightforward site. Roy is most pleasant and appears to adopt a relaxed approach which is welcoming. Brilliant site for children who have plenty of space and can play in the adjacent woods. And we all had great fun using the tennis courts.
The fellow campers seemed to be extremely friendly and enjoying their stay. The site filled up on the Friday evening which put pressure on the limited facilities. A common problem, due to the time of year, was the constant barrage of wasps when cooking/eating/thinking about food.
Alfriston is a lovely village a short walk from the site with a good range of interesting shops. We can heartily recommend the Tudor House Restaurant which did us proud two nights running.

A nice, spacious, peaceful simple site.
2 portable loos, a small toilet block (2 loos and 2 shower units)- never busy when we were there. Drinking water from tap. Washing up sinks.
Very easygoing. And Roy is very helpful - especially when my hopeless Halfords family tent decided to snap and tear (this has now been disposed of).
5-minute walk into the old village (don't expect to eat here every day, especially with children. Prices are astronomical - £5.50 for a scone and a cuppa in the local tea rooms).
A good base, though. Recommended

Alfriston Camping Park is on the edge of Alfriston, which is a lovely bustling village not far from Eastbourne and set in some beautiful countryside. It should be ideal for touring and countryside walks. We've been to many camp sites and this has been the biggest let down ever!
The site is easy to drive past as there are no proper signs - just an apologetic 'camping' sign. At the end of a long dirt track past the Alfriston Riding Centre, a few houses, some tired old tennis courts, and a small complex of dilapidated sheds (the facilities) there are three fields. The first one is a well manicured and pleasant looking Caravan & Camping Club area, then the two not so well tended general camping areas.
There was a small, badly written sign pinned to a gate post directing campers to the end field. The camping area is fine - a large level area in the middle gently sloping to the edges and backing onto/overlooking lovely countryside and views. It feels quite exposed and got very windy so tie your tent down well! Very quiet at night and as there are no safety lights on the campsite at all, there was the benefit of being able to enjoy some clear starry nights.
We were quoted £15 per night by email, then charged £20 when we arrived - so be warned and print out any emails and take them with you!
The facilities are the worst any of us have ever seen. They consist of an untidy complex of home-made looking sheds that have obviously been altered over the years. There are two washing up sinks (outside), two sinks, two cubicles and two showers in each of the toilet areas. One cubicle in the gents had a rusty nail and two sharp screws sticking through the flimsy exterior wall - at small child hand/face height. Lots of cobwebs and dead insects. Facilities are dirty and not properly cleaned. Needless to say our kids hated using the facilities. When more than one person takes a shower or flushes a loo both the hot and cold water cut out! There's not even a hook to hang a towel on or somewhere to put a toilet bag etc. There is only one working water standpipe in the main camping field with a length of grotty hose on the tap.
We had arranged to meet family who were staying nearby so had to endure this site for a few days as everywhere else was now booked up. We saw a few families only stay one night then leave. This site is such a wasted opportunity on the part of the owner, if only the ubiquitous Roy could spent his time updating the site and making it safe for families he would be onto a winner.
