Nightingale - Furnished Bell Tent

Stay in Nightingale, our brand new 5m furnished bell tent in our peaceful and beautiful field (Night Pastures) in the South Downs National Park. With only 5 glamping sites and 5 camping spots available at any one time, there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy peace and solitude in the wonder of nature. There is access to fresh water and a hand made compost loo and shower. There is no electricity so you can enjoy a wonderful wild camping experience. Night Pastures is very private and you are surrounded by farmland and woodland. There is plenty of opportunity for enjoying the West Sussex countryside on foot or by bike. Nightingale is a beautifully furnished 5m bell tent with 4 single beds, a table, rug and fairy lights. You will enjoy all the comforts of home as each bed comes with soft linens, a warm duvet and a luxurious mattress topper. No camp is complete without a fire so Nightingale also comes with her own fire basket (which you can cook on) and logs can be provided at the cost of £10 per bag. Night Pastures is a vast 26 Ha site and Nightingale is situated within our glamping area where we have 4 accommodation yurts but she is also within easy reach of the beautifully clean bathroom trailer with a solar shower and compost loo's. At the other end of the field, there is a free range camping area with only 5 pitches so will not intrude on your glamping experience. Nightingale does not come with any towels or include any cooking equipment so you are free to bring your own or eat at one of our lovely local pubs. The Camping is located in the top area of a very large yurt field, surrounded by farmland and woodland. Parking is a short walk away and wheelbarrows are provided to transport your gear from the car park to the site. Once you have checked in, you will be left undisturbed to be at one with nature… that is of course unless you need help with anything in which case someone is always on hand! Originally a hunting lodge for King Charles II, Lower Lodge Farm's 3,000 acres of rolling fields and ancient woodland are interlaced with ponds and brooks that feed the River Lod. Recognised as a corridor of environmental significance, it is home to a diverse collection of flora and fauna including; cuckoos, kingfishers, deer, badgers, rare orchids, mistletoe and, if you're lucky, even multicoloured rabbits. Amongst the farm's many treasures are woodland walks, streams bristling with fish, ancient woodland clearings and the ruins of an iron forge from the earliest days of the industrial revolution. To cap it all, amidst all this beauty is the privately owned 12th century Shulbrede Priory where Parry wrote the score for Jerusalem. From the comfort and tranquility of your pitch you too will share, understand, and be at one with the "green and pleasant land" that inspired the stirring music for Jerusalem, the nation's favorite hymn. Onsite parking is available to all guests and there are taxis at the Haslemere train station (48 mins from Waterloo) for guests arriving by train. It is possible to walk from Liphook station, cross country (4 miles). If you want to explore the pubs and countryside beyond walking distance, you can hire bicycles from £20 a day please arrange this direct with the company and in advance to ensure availability (details for hire will be sent to you with our welcome e-mail). Night Pastures Camping is on a working family farm so please respect the Country Code at all times. There is also a large pond near the camping that you would need to be aware of if travelling with small children. If you're arriving by train, it's advisable to get your shopping done in advance, as the nearest shop to the farm is a 10 minutes drive. There is no WiFi or electricity on site. Due to their environmental impact on our delicate meadow ecology, sadly dogs are not permitted.
