Pop-up campsites brighton

Jules and the team at the River are really friendly, highly organised, incredibly patient and good fun. The site is brilliant - lots of self-pitch locations to choose from. Tempted by the wooded area among the shepherd's huts, we finally settled on the long field. Equipped with composting toilets, water stations and hot showers. Consider pre-ordering pizza on the Friday night to help you settle in, and definitely get a firepit - it just wouldn't be the same without that warm glow on a lovely summer's evening. The river is not far down the track, and has one and two-person kayaks to rent. By-the-day, is the better deal, and there is plenty of river to tootle up and down - we took our lunch and nestled in the reeds to dine afloat. The river is tidal, so do take note of the flow. Pop-up by the River is a fabulous place to visit - we will be back.

Stayed at the Secret Campsite near Hastings. Great little campsite, very peaceful and perfect if you want to feel like you want to camp in the wild but still have your creature comforts (there is a loo and hot running water for a shower). The Hosts are great people, super helpful. Don't really understand some of the one star reviews here, this is proper camping - not glamping. We loved it, will definitely be going back and we are taking all our friends!

Stayed at the river site 2 weeks ago, had a wicked time. Went with a couple mates, rented an empty bell tent, which worked out amazing as my other friends struggled with their own tents, mine was ready and waiting for me when i turned up!!! Which gave me time to have a couple cocktails!! Had a pizza too which was really nice! Really great facilities, super clean! which is always a nice surprise when camping! Will be back for sure!!!!

Had am amazing stay at the Hastings location. Lovely people who went out of their way for us. Loved it and will def be back again.

OMG, what an amazing site! stayed at the River site, had cocktails and pizza on the Friday night!! More campsites should do this! Facilities were clean and the best showers and toilets I have seen in a while!! Altogether amazing stay! Staff really nice and happy to help with anything! Will be back!!!

An absolutely brilliant weekend! From the moment we arrived our hosts Jules and Tizz made us feel incredibly welcome and worked incredibly hard to settle us in and get our tent set up. The campsite itself is in a beautiful secluded spot and given that it was full, didn’t feel at all busy. Toilets and showers were clean and in working order throughout the weekend. Our friends and their families all had a brilliant time. Will hopefully be back. If you’re looking for a fun and friendly camping experience - Jules and Tizz will sort you right out. 😁

We had a wonderful long weekend at the site near Hastings. The site was amazing and so idyllic. The owners are so friendly and helpful. We went for the bell tent and camping bed option which was bigger that I expected and the camp beds were surprisingly very comfortable (we had a quilt under and a quilt over). The toilets, showers and washing up area are all eco and chemical free, there was always plenty of hot water. You can hire a fire pit and buy logs. We'll be back! Thank you

The location was very good. Very rural feeling and little to no noise other than the pleasant sounds of nature. The facilities are 'natural', back to basics style which I liked, but isn't to everyones tastes. Long drop toilets, bucket showers etc. Plenty of hand wash stations and also natural/non poluting products were available for use which was good. Some of the staff (ladies) were very friendly but others were not so good at comunicating, to the point of being a little rude and a long way from firendly or welcoming. The bell tents were not good quality for the fees charged. Having been to a number of glamping sites over the last few years, these were the worst. They didn't come with any basic supplies which other site do provide, regardless of covid which can feel like an easy get out of providing a good service at times. The beds were small, the double bed being too small for me at over 6 foot. The stand out worst thing is that the double bed doesn't fit the small bell tent size. The bed was pushed against the side of the tent which led to it being damp. The whole tent was quite damp and dank. There are much better options out there now, offering superior facilities for similar or lower prices. i.e. Fontmills or Wowo both in Sussex. If you're bringing your own tent and like the natural, basic camping style then this may still be for you. If you're looking for something with a little more comfort or style, perhaps not.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Pop-up’s little secret near Hastings/Camber. Everything about our camping experience was fantastic from start to finish. If you are looking for a campsite which offers you a real camping experience with open fires this is the place to go. The pitches are really nicely spread as well which makes it all the more comfortable. Also for anyone camping with adventurous children this is definitely the place to go to. My children loved running around playing games in the woodland, mucking about on rope swings and cargo nets and playing massive games of hide and seek with all of the other children there. I really can not recommend this campsite highly enough!! Make sure you go and see it for yourselves!

I just got back from an absolutely delightful few days camping at the Hastings site. If you're after an idlic, secluded & peaceful campsite, look no further! The perfect balance of creature comforts and off the grid vibes!
