Blackberry Wood Campsite is camping with a difference. Don't expect a big field chock a block with…read morevarious tents. Here you hire your own personal glade in the Wood complete with fire pit, cute carved benches and your personal cooking grate to knock up a truly rustic feast. The location is really beautiful and while you are in the country and will certainly need a car to reach to site, it's still close enough to Brighton (about 4 miles from Ditchling) to be easily accessible. Be warned though, this place is immensely popular and weekend stays are already fully booked for the summer season of 2010. You can check for availability of glades on their website and you may get lucky and find a slot from a cancellation. The lady who runs the site lives in a caravan at the campsite, complete with chickens running about the place. She has a small shop with supplies including milk and firewood. There are also showers and proper toilets. If you don't feel like sleeping in a tent there are also a number of buses, Gypsy caravans and suchlike to hire for a more comfortable stay. The prices are reasonable and this is really a great way to camp, whilst still retaining the magic of the experience. A real gem and unique approach to a great British pastime. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We've never been disappointed when we've eaten at Sumners. Sometimes we just pop in for a coffee or tea as we're local. There are lovely walks through the farm and Simon has thought through the whole project and made a wonderful job. I remember when it was just a local farm and the transformation is amazing. Don't let the weather put you off either. When it's cold and miserable in the winter, you can sit around one of the big log-burners and keep cosy. Certainly one of the best local places for food and to socialise.

From the owner: Our family-friendly park sits alongside the River Thames in the picturesque village of Hurley…read morebetween Henley-on-Thames and Marlow and has been run by four generations of the same family since 1926. With direct access to the River Thames and the Thames Path we are perfect for lovers of the river and walkers alike. For those with a boat or canoe we have two slipways and for those without we have over a mile of river frontage for picnics. With the lush green countryside of the Thames Valley all around, red kites circling above and the river traffic gliding past it is hard to believe we are only an hour outside London. We offer a happy, family-friendly atmosphere and only accept bookings from families and couples. We are proud that many of our caravanners and campers return year after year and recommend us to family and friends. In fact some of our customers who visited us as children now bring their own grandchildren!

Nice camp site, clean, well run, extremely well stocked shop too…read more What I liked about this place, was among other things that it had a girl called Vicky working there who really helped us out. We arrived late, and after phoning the site and advising our late arrival, she stayed late to let us in. Then when we couldn't put up our tent because it was new, and using car headlights in the dark. She stayed with us and helped us. Far beyond the call of duty! Whilst this is not something that you could expect or plan for, it was a very welcome start to a holiday that could have gone horribly wrong from the first day. Thanks Vicky, we will definately come again. This camp site also allowed you to have an electricity point within your tent, and for a small fee, there is also a refrigerator hire service, which would keep your milk fresh, of your beer cold, or both!

I turned up unannounced and there was no problem getting a camping spot. £14 for a basic spot and…read more£17 for one with an electricity point. It's fairly small and not a lot to on offer other than the pub and a small kids area (two swings and a tiny wooden house) just next to the campsite. Facilities are clean and the place is managed very well. Management leave you to get on with things yourself but they keep a close eye on things. As a nervous camper, I felt very safe there. The only thing to do on the doorstep is walking/hiking, but if you have a car there are lots of nearby attractions. The Limeburners pub does great, hearty food. Their salads are warm and filling and their roasts are good. Good, but not amazing. I was surprised to find salsa-covered courgettes in my roast dinner! Puddings are to die for. Try the gingersnap basket with strawberries and ginger ince-cream and the cherry-chocolate fondant. Good prices too. Average main is about £7. Reserve a table at peak times, though, as the locals swarm there.

As we only have a folding camper we made good use of the toilets in the Sainsburys in town. Possibly because of the lack of facilities the two times that we have been there have been very few children which does mean that the site is quiet except for the parakeets which are quite noisy in the mornings. Do be aware that there is quite a long narrow road approaching the campsite. Could be awkward at busy times.

I would say it is a little steep though, price-wise. I'd bring your own kindling/wood too, they charge a hell of a lot. But broadly I would definitely go again, it's so well maintained and I really love how much room they give you, we were about 60 meters away from the next closest tent.
