Why stay here ...

Surrounded by the glorious East Sussex countryside, River Brede Farm is the idlilic getaway.

Situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty beside the River Brede, it has lots to offer. Wildlife and bird lovers will enjoy sightings of birds of prey, woodpeckers, wildfowl and much more. Within a 20 to 30 minute walk from the site there is Rye Harbour Nature Reserve with bird hides and beautiful walks. Camber Castle (English Heritage) is just a 10 to 15 minute walk across the fields from the site along footpaths/bridal paths.

From the site you can use the footpath to walk to the historic cinque port of Rye (approx 30mins) with its narrow streets, quirky shops and plenty of pubs and restaurants to enjoy. Turn left out from Castle Farm Lane, 0.8 mile you will find the village of Winchelsea Beach with a supermarket and post office, cash machine, fish and chip shop, kebab and pizza shop, pub and butchers with farm shop and cafe. As you leave Winchelsea Beach towards Hastings you will also find another cafe alongside the beach.

In Winchelsea itself there is a pub, The New Inn and a shop. Here you will also find the grave of Spike Milligan in the churchyard of St Thomas the Martyr. This is a beautiful church with stunning modern stained glass windows.

To the west Hastings, Bexhill and Eastbourne are a short drive away. To the East is Lydd, Camber and Dungeness. Camber has beautiful windswept beaches, whilst in contrast Dungeness has a rugged feel with its houses dotted around the coast. At Dungeness you will find the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway for a great day out. The 'Fish Shack' at Dungeness is a great place to delight in the local fish cuisine. The famous Norman Conquest of 1066 can be visited as Battle Abbey is not far away (31min drive).

Walkers and cyclist alike will love the array of footpaths and cycle routes from the site.

In Camber Kitesurfing/Windsurfing lessons are available and you can also hire electric bikes.

There is a bus stop on the main road which will take you into Rye and then from here Dover/Ashford. Then in the other direction towards Hastings, Bexhill, Eastbourne and onto Brighton. Winchelsea station is 1.8 miles from the site.

The camping field is a 2.5 acre, mostly flat site with access to fresh water and an Elsan emptying point. All pitches are either grass or hardstanding and are fully serviced with electric, fresh water and grey emptying.

Please note: We are an adult only site and next to a working farm.

Lovely site, kept in immaculate condition with very pleasant hosts. Peaceful spot with good views, public footpaths along the river and good access to Rye. Would highly recommend this site and will certainly stay here again.

Excellent site

River Brede Farm
We stayed in our motorhome for 3 nights in July 2024. Excellent site from all points of view: spacious, well maintained, beautiful on the eye with good views, peaceful, good walks to the beach and nature reserve, to Winchelsea itself, and to Rye. Shops about 10 mins away on foot if required. TV reception good. We plan to return and for longer next time.

An Outstanding CL

River Brede Farm
We stayed at the outstanding River Brede Farm for 3 nights in mid June 2024. Trish's pre-arrival welcome communications were brilliant, warm and professional. Zak was superb on our arrival. The site is immaculately kept and superbly located on the edge of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. Easy walks into Winchelsea, Camber Castle and Rye (alond the riverside). We will be back.

Fabulous four nights here

River Brede Farm
What a gem of a CL site this is . We spent four nights here in early June 24 and we will certainly be returning . Trish and Steve are wonderfully accommodating as hosts of the site and really couldn’t be more helpful. This site is kept immaculately. It is ideally placed for walking to Winchelsea , Rye Harbour , The nature reserve , Rye . Hastings and Battle are a short drive away.

A Lovely Stay

River Brede Farm
We agree with all the other reviews of this perfect site. Easy to find, warm welcome, water and hook up on every pitch. We stayed for 4 nights with a friendly group of caravanners and motor homers. Would certainly stay at River Brede Farm again.
