Why stay here ...

LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*

A stay at Fairlight Wood Club Campsite is almost like taking a soothing break in a large and lovely garden. This is a small and intimate caravan park set in flower rich woodland and with many quaint footpaths to wander along. The area is rich in historic value - the nearby seaside town of Hastings was William the Conqueror's base camp in 1066 and it was here he chose to build his famous castle following the historic victory at Battle.

Fairlight Wood Club Campsite offers a perfect retreat for nature lovers - its surrounding woodlands are listed as a Biodiversity area so are ideal for spotting wildlife. It's also in an ideal location for dog walking. The nearby Old Hastings is well worth the visit for its quiet charm - here you can watch the fisherman bringing home their daily catch, eat some of the freshest fish and chips you've ever tasted and then walk the meal off with a leisurely stroll along streets that still hold the atmosphere of days gone by. Choosing a caravan holiday in East Sussex also puts you within a short distance from the scenic East Cliffs, and for walkers who enjoy a bit of a challenge, it connects with a lovely 5 mile Country Park walk which will lead you through a wealth of natural treats such as wooded valleys and secluded beaches. Look out for The Big White House in nearby Pett Level which was featured in the Channel Four series, Grand Designs.

Great Stay , Great Wardens .

Fairlight Wood Club Campsite
We booked 5 night , 8th to 13th august and took the grandchildren with us for the first time for 2 nights not knowing if they would like staying in the caravan . Even though there is no play area there was lots to do in the woods , they loved it . Also crazy golf and the sea life centre in Hastings There is also at fairlight a great country park with a very nice café . The grandchildren loved it so much they asked to stay an extra night luckily I booked 3 nights just in case . I would like to give a big thank you to Cheryl and Dean for being a great help . We had a problem with the TV socket on the post and Dean came over straight away , also Many thanks to you Cheryl for sorting out an extra night stay even though it was after 5 pm . Once again Many Thanks to you both . David & Pauline

Lovely peaceful site

Fairlight Wood Club Campsite
Having just returned from this site, after a 3 night stay we have to say we were impressed and have already booked for May 2024. The site is most suitable for adults having no children’s play area etc. The facilities were good - quite well aged but kept spotlessly clean. Bonus having a pub in walking distance, woods to explore and a bus stop for trips into Hastings. All in all a lovely site we would recommend.

Great site and food

Fairlight Wood Club Campsite
Really warm welcome when booking in, good pitches and showers. Excellent dog walking opposite in the 120 acre woodland trust land. The Two Sawyers pub serves, in my opinion,some of the best pub grub in the area. It’s less than a five minute walk from the bottom of the site. A great place for a long weekend stay which we visit two or three times a year.

First time visit

Fairlight Wood Club Campsite
A very warm welcome from the managers who were very knowledgeable about the area. Immaculate pitches.A110 acres of dog walk opposite the site and a less than 10min walk through the woods to the pub which is under new management and very nice food. Half way through the week the relief managers came in and we’re just as friendly Around the area there is nice places to visit although we thought Hastings looked a bit run down, the seafront was a nice walk and the old town fishing area was interesting. Rye was well worth the visit as was Battle Abbey All in all a very nice and immaculately well kept site. WELL DONE SITE MANAGERS

Lovely Site and great for walking the dogs

Fairlight Wood Club Campsite
Our first time at a club site and this was perfect, not too big and the site wardens Dean and Cheryl were very helpful and the site is an absolute credit to them, they never seemed to sop working. Lovely woods right opposite the site entrance to walk the dogs which had luckily dried up for when we visited at the end of May. Cheryl also gave us a printed sheet detailing the walk to Pett level Beach, which has a nice cafe and church, there are a lot of stiles to negotiate on the walk and they don't have dogs gates in them so they need to jump or be lifted over. Easy walk through the woods to the Two Sawyers pub where we had two nice meals and some good local beer.
