Blacklands

A nice campsite in a good location. The loos and showers were a lot better than most I've seen and there are several washing up areas, which we never had to queue for. There are 2 large camping fields, including one right next to a large lake. The pitch we chose was really bumpy but we could have just been unlucky. The only other downside was that despite a 'no noise after 11pm' policy, a large group with marquees were up until 2am singing and playing loud music both nights we were there, which rather ruined the middle of nature feel. I would go again but I would call ahead first to check that there were no groups like this one!

This was our first camping expedition in years. The site was fantastic. WE had a brilliant time, the only downside was the unfortunate weather.

The surroundings are beautiful, we pitched our tent by the lake. There is a play area that the kids really enjoyed, a very useful shop and clean toilets and showers.

The area is great too, we went hiking on the nearby downs and had lovely meals in The Plough in Henfield and The Bull in Ditchling.
