    Beautiful spot, hard to believe its free. (Makes us wonder how long for)We stayed for one (very windy) night and braved a walk in the morning. Stunning views (if the weather allows) and very picturesque spot. No facilities and no bins. The road getting here is easy, just watch out for some potholes. Considering we stayed in Feb, it was pretty busy with other campers. Would definitely come back:-)

  • 5/5

    beautiful views and free to park! Take care to leave room for dog walkers in the morning

  • 5/5

    stunning views and a wide variety of walks available. the road into the carpark has some fairly mega potholes, just take care

  • 5/5

    Awesome spot with great views.. Very windy but didn't bother us. nice little walk down to Alfriston and back. very pretty little town.

  • 4/5

    2 nuits sur place. première dans la tempête, ça tangue pas mal mais une bonne nuit quand même. deuxième nuit calme. belle rando à faire autour dans les champs avec vue sur mer. pas mal de trous d'eau sur le parking quand j'y suis allée mais praticable

  • 5/5

    Magnifique, calme et plat. Parking avec quelques ornières mais rien d’insurmontable. Pas de poubelle et peu de réseau.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Ort, super spaziergänge, war sehr Windig, Aussicht top, viele mitparkende. Bitte auch diesen Ort säubern und sauber hinterlassen?? rechte seite gerade, linke seite schräg. Keine höhenbeschränkung.

  • 4/5

    Really nice spot, quite busy but everybody was very considerate. It is also very very windy (so hanging out outside is a bit limited and cooking outside might be tricky). Popular with dog walkers and runners from 6am onwards.

  • 4/5

    Pasamos una noche muy tranquila, algunos lugares planos. Recomendado

  • 5/5

    Definitely a good spot if you can find a space !

  • 5/5

    A lovely spot. Gorgeous views & very peaceful.

  • 5/5

    A lovely spot, does get busy but there's a lovely walk to the Cricketers Arms pub and if you need lunch Middle Farm is a short drive down the road plus you can walk into Alfriston for lunch too! The views either side were amazing and there's benches to sit and admire the view, we watched the lightning from afar! No bins so please take rubbish home and dogs on lead as sheep about!

  • 5/5

    prachtige plek, fantastisch rustige nacht gehad en super plek om lekker met de hond te lopen! het is een gewilde plek, dus kom optijd :) en, houd het netjes, dan kunnen we allemaal van dit soort pareltjes blijven genieten!

  • 5/5

    Lovely location, beautiful views over the downs out to sea, quiet and peaceful night. Only 2 other vans here on a hot June night. Dog walkers from early on not a problem for us.

  • 3/5

    beautiful spot, but too busy for us. 13 vans already when we arrived so we left

  • 3/5

    A bit too popular for us. When we arrived up the steep hill, there were about 10 campers already here, we gave our spot to a large camper and went down the hill a bit to a more secluded spot

  • 5/5

    Heerlijke nacht. Wat een plek. Zoveel rust en een prachtig uitzicht aan elke kant. Parkeer met respect en zorg dat we niemand tot last zijn. Dan kunnen we er hopelijk nog lang gebruik van maken.

  • 5/5

    please be wary it's now getting popular, if the main carpark is full DONT park along the fence/track and be aware its a busy walking place, if you want to continue using places like this if its busy go elsewhere or come back in the evening. it will end up being closed down! I fear the locals will end up complaining, then the guy who actualy lives here will be forced to move with his dogs

  • 5/5

    Great park up - easy to find, space for quite a few vans/motorhomes. Need to leave space for dog walkers too though. Very quiet and good walks from here. We stayed 2 nights. There were about 4 other motorhomes and vans there over night.

  • 4/5

    Spent Christmas Day and night here ,shame it was a cloudy day as the views must be amazing. At night there were 7 vans / motorhomes. A couple of large pot holes at the entrance but not too bad slight slope where we parked . Dead quiet and pitch black …. Lovely

  • 4/5

    Nice place, lots of other campers.

  • 5/5

    beautiful spot, stayed with multiple others. however there was a sign saying it will be closed beginning from 6th september 2024, from 6am to 11pm.

  • 5/5

    We stayed here for one night last night and it was great. Undisturbed, and absolutely no noise through the night. A few dog walkers turned up in the morning but all very pleasant and friendly. There are no bins here so I would just say keep it clean and places like these will always be allowed!

  • 5/5

    Très bon spot avec jolie vue. Des promeneurs le matin mais ça ne gêne pas du tout. Rempli de van et camions, donc loin d'être seuls mais c'est le jeu ! Quel dommage, un gros van gris vide son énorme cuve d'eau grise sur le lieu. On a un petit van et on garde nos eaux sales pour les vider dans les endroits appropriés. C'est ça aussi la vanlife, profiter de la nature mais ne pas la souiller !

  • 4/5

    Stayed here last night (Friday), expecting it to be very busy, only 7 van here, so there was plenty of room for our transit custom. road is a little narrow to this location and several large pot holes upon entry, but that is easily forgotten by the views and quiet location.

  • 4/5

    Super Aussicht!! Wanderparkplatz. Kam ein glück um 13 Uhr an. Gegen Abends sehr voll geworden, sodass einige Camper weg fahren mussten. Es gibt 3 Wege die man Kilometer lang entlang wandern kann!. Überall Schafe.

  • 4/5

    Toller Platz. Mitunter sehr windig. Alleine ist man hier aber nicht. Wir wurden von Kuschelcampern zugeparkt und auf Hundekot sollte man auch achten. Der Ausblick ist aber an sich wirklich toll

  • 5/5

    Quiet night without any problem. Probably you will not be here alone.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic view on both side. Okay to get there with a camper (a bit steep to get there). Arrived at 5pm, plenty of space.

  • 5/5

    Prachtige locatie, mooie start voor wandelingen. Meerdere 'vaste' kampeerders, maar die waren erg vriendelijk. 's Avonds stond de parking vol. Heerlijk rustige nacht

  • 5/5

    Sublime vue et bel emplacement. De la place pour plusieurs van. Endroit à préserver !

  • 5/5

    Beautiful spot! Arrived 7pm on a Friday night with plenty of space. Few other campers around. Saw the moon rise over the hills. Were worried we might get woken up by lots of cars coming and going, but that wasn't the case and had a great sleep. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the wooden benches with amazing views. Really great to see that everyone treats this place with respect, leaving no traces.

  • 5/5

    Beautifully view on the hills and friendly sheep’s all around.

  • 5/5

    amazing place. dead end road amazing view.

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot! Lots of other campers there, felt very safe & had some sheep friends too. A beautiful spot for a quiet nights sleep.

  • 4/5

    Great sleeping, but even during the week it was well visited by campers as well as hikers/locals. However, we still found space. The view is stunning, but you pay for it with little privacy and the smell of animal dung. Still recommend. Take your trash with you and respect the land.

  • 5/5

    The place is as beautiful as previously described. Unfortunately it was absolutely jam packed on a warm Saturday night (with the aurora going on as well). But people were all super friendly and respectful and we spent a quiet night. Would love to come back mid-week for a bit more tranquility.

  • 5/5

    Ein toller Platz Natur pur Ein Ausblick wahnsinnig

  • 4/5

    This has a lovely view, and very quiet. It would be great in the summer as it was very windy while we stay in April. There are no facilities, so take your rubbish with you! There are a few level spots, and a few spots that are sloped. The lane that leads up to the park up is steep and bumpy, entrance to the park up had a few potential holes. Signal is good on EE & 02.

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot! Patchy signal on 3…. Three other vans with us one inconsiderate parking so plz don’t park long ways! If your too long go elsewhere…. Dog walkers in the morning - free but rumours of this place going to ANPR are about! Let’s look after it the best we can. Very windy but we liked that - toilets at Beachy head national trust and the Chaplin office car parks

  • 5/5

    5 stars for us. We arrived in the late afternoon and some cars from hikers were there and some campers were also parked there for the night. Very quiet evening (but if it's windy, you will feel it!) and you get a beautiful sunrise when you wake up in the middle of the South Downs. Really loved it here!

  • 5/5

    Incredible views over the South Downs. Some parts of the car park are level too. Road surface not great, though

  • 5/5

    Stayed here 2 nights. Really peaceful . Great views also. There appear to be some vans here permanently, but there is still room. Patchy 3 mobile coverage. No facilities.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic spot. Arrived at night, so I wasn't sure what was surrounding us nature wise, beautiful views of the south downs and towards Seaford. There was about 5 campers that stayed that night also.

  • 5/5

    Wir blieben zwei Nächte, sehr ruhig und schöne Umgebung zum Wandern. Vor Ort waren auch andere Camper da, auch einige die länger dort campen. Tagsüber viele Wanderer und Leute die Gassi mit ihren Hunden gehen.

  • 5/5

    Magnifique spot, magnifique vue. Départ de belles promenade Mais n’arrivez pas trop tard la quinzaine de place se remplit vite

  • 5/5

    Magnifique endroit pour passer une nuit au calme absolu avec en prime une belle vue sur la mer. Facile d’accès le parking est assez grand et plat pour accueillir plusieurs vans et camping cars.

  • 5/5

    Beau parking facilement accessible y compris pour des campings cars plus gros. Très belle vue sur la mer !

  • 5/5

    Stunning place to stop over, satnav postcode spot on, cool breeze coming up the valley from the sea beyond, side door open, warm sunshine, peaceful, four other large MH plenty of room, no amenities, just a breathtaking view to watch the sun go down, which happens to be free. Perfik!

  • 5/5

    A gorgeous spot, right out of the way. Really peaceful and beautiful with many other fellow campers enjoying the nature spot also. We arrived around 5pm and had no trouble parking and I would recommend arriving around then or after 8pm when all the walkers and cyclist have left the main carpark.

  • 4/5

    Joli parking en terre-gravier au milieu de la nature. Spot fréquenté (nous étions une dizaine de véhicules hier soir), et beaucoup de promeneurs tôt le matin. Très exposé en cas de vent.

  • 5/5

    Moved from Firle on recommendation from others. Level site, no barriers and free. Awesome views.

  • 5/5

    Quiet, lovely view. Popular spot but does empty out later in evening.

  • 5/5

    This is a real good spot, right up in the south downs on the hills with incredible views, amazing dusks and dawns and access to hiking trails. This is a very popular spot, busy every night of the week during Summer. Only issue I’ve had with this spot is kids burning around on dirt bikes through the car park late at night

  • 5/5

    Emplacement parfait pour une nuit en van, magnifique point de vue. Pour nous, beaucoup de vent et de pluie. Une jolie coin comme on aime pour une belle expérience.

  • 5/5

    Super parking avec vue exceptionnelle. Terrain plat. En plein été : pas complet. Beaucoup de vent par contre.

  • 5/5

    stayed here last night. It is a perfect stop of point, mostly level gravely stone car park, views to the sea on a clear day even see the wind turbines out at sea the most picturesque of scenery lovely walks for miles . thier were 10 campers vans here and me in my audi a4 estate tbh I felt really safe will come back again. phone signal great and mobile data signal great too.

  • 3/5

    VERY busy in day with dog walkers/hikers etc and car park filled at night! Including me, there were 8 vans/motorhomes , plus several cars filled with couples getting it on in the back seat! But had a good night’s sleep once the cars left (midnight ish). Dog walkers and hikers arriving from 6.30am. Don’t think I’d stay again as too busy for me, but view is absolutely incredible though!

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot to spend a night on the country side. Just a large gravel parking, room for 10 campers. Nice view, calm and quiet.

  • 5/5

    It's a great park up spot. It's not level, but the views on a good day make it wonderfully worthwhile.

  • 5/5

    Spent a very pleasant night here last night with 6 other vans, disturbed only by the occasional bleeting of sheep from the field next door. Great walking / cycling routes leading off in 3 directions, Phone signal is pretty rubbish in the car park but the views more than make up for it…

  • 5/5

    Stunning location, when we were there last night , everyone respectful of the location. Let's just hope they don't start charging for staying like the other location a few miles away . Worth the 1.5 mile ( total ) to the trig point to the west .

  • 5/5

    A really great spot to camp with others. signs of a fire behind the car park are worrying as they will clamp down so please do not have fires etc.

  • 4/5

    Beautiful views of countryside and sea, no height restrictions, surrounded be sheep fields, great for walking, one other van but otherwise no one else there between 8pm and 7am. Ground is fairly flat, but with a slight slope back to front. Room for maybe 10 vehicles.

  • 5/5

    What a beautiful spot, slept so well. Joined by 3 other vans. Fairly level solid ground. Hikers/walkers started arriving around 6am. If you like walking then you can follow the trail to Alfriston one way or Firle Beacon the other. Lots of sheep and sweet lambs, they do escape the field into the car park but manage to find there way back again

  • 5/5

    Nice spot, stayed 1 night with no issues. 2 other vans. As others mention, can get a bit windy

  • 5/5

    Ein wunderschöner ruhiger Stellplatz in den Hügeln mit toller Aussicht und Wandermöglichkeiten. Haltet den Platz bitte sauber. Morgens und Abends viele Spaziergänger mit Hunden.

  • 5/5

    lovely and quiet, lovely views.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful spot, especially for sunset/sunrise. Hard ground with great views and nice walks around.

  • 5/5

    great spot, mud not an issue as it's hard ground. looking forward to the day light view, lots of stars out last night. Only one other camper here but loads of room.

  • 3/5

    Oh my this place is beautiful. Big car park but it’s slopping. But we didn’t sleep a wink - the wind at night made it seem like we were a boat at a stormy sea. So sad on such a great place!

  • 5/5

    Avons passé la nuit du 12 au 13 novembre ici avec deux autres CC. Superbe endroit si vous êtes autonome et aimer bivouaquer en pleine nature. Nous avons adoré.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here for two nights. Had the company of other vans both nights. No issues, great spot!

  • 5/5

    Great spot up on the South Downs next to the foot path with views across to the coast, a very quiet nights sleep. Be aware it can get windy, two porta loos in the car park are strapped down!

  • 4/5

    Nice place, very calm. Has a walk that start from the car park. Only downside is it was very windy at night, the van was shaking all night

  • 4/5

    Great spot, with great walks and views, stayed here a few times without problem. Unfortunately we stayed last Friday and several boy racers were doing donuts and kicking up stones. One car stopped and threw a stone at the van, so we moved to the spot down the road that’s a bit hidden. Probably wouldn’t stay there again on a weekend.

  • 5/5

    What a view!!! Stunning sea view one way and the Weald behind you. Quiet spot to camp, super safe, shared with a few other campers, a nice alternative to inner city Brighton choices

  • 5/5

    Hatten eine super Nacht dort. Perfekte Aussicht aufs Meer. Standen mit T5

  • 5/5

    Flat stony car park. Space for several cars/vans. Quiet at night and amazing views across fields to the sea. I stayed a few nights and a full day just relaxing. No bother at all. Great walking along the South Downs Way. Other walkers coming and going during the day but all friendly.

  • 5/5

    Stayed last night with 4 other vans very peaceful nights sleep. Great views will definitely stay again carpark dose get busy during the day from around 9am with dog walkers and other visitors

  • 5/5

    Beautiful place, lots of spaces, few other campers but very quiet nights sleep

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Stayed here with only 2 other campers Lovely view of the sea and 4g

  • 4/5

    very popular spot with walkers, dog walkers, para gliders, campers, doggers. car park was full by early evening, so my advice is to get there early if staying overnight.

  • 4/5

    Lush spot. Great easy walking in both directions and views all around. Kestrels about. Bit exposed to the sea breezes (it is on top of a hill) and it got a bit busy considering it’s February but it was a Friday. The hill wasn’t all that steep in the end, seen worse.

  • 5/5

    When we arrived just after sunset we were the only ones there, within a few hours a couple more group arrived, very respectful and quiet. Lovely views in both directions. We will be back!

  • 5/5

    Beautiful spot at the top of the South Downs. You can look North & see the North Downs in the distance or South for sea views. Rather exposed so buffered by the wind but you don’t get views like this in sheltered spots. Just lovely lying in bed & listening to the sounds of horses clopping by. To be cherished.

  • 5/5

    A lovely place to park with great walks and amazing views. A bit bumpy at the entrance but no real bother and plenty of space for an undisturbed night. No rubbish bins that I could see so be sure to take yours away with you and hopefully we can keep this as a terrific free nights stay.

  • 5/5

    Great place! Amazing views! :)

  • 5/5

    Super views in every direction. Quite level but a large pothole at entrance. Very quiet night spent with 4 other vans.

  • 5/5

    Been there at least 20 times and still loves it. it's lovely place in summer and even in winter. There is definitely more than 5 spaces, there is 2 car parks one gravel and also there is another one where you can park on grass. Can be very busy during sunny days and also very windy.

  • 5/5

    One of our favourite spots to walk the dog and have a meal in our van. Very steep hill but worth it for the views. Car park is busy but we’ve always found a spot for our hymer. Never spent the night yet because it is so close to home for us but others do stay overnight. Check the wind forecast first tho - it’s completely exposed to the elements here.
