Knepp Wildland Campsite

Knepp Wildland Campsite sits in a wildflower meadow on the edge of an ancient wood, surrounded by the 3,500-acre Knepp Wildland in West Sussex.

The site offers both traditional camping pitches and a range of glamping accommodation — including shepherd's huts, yurts, and bell tents — and is open from Easter through the end of October.

Campfires are permitted, and the site features open-air fire pits, wood-burning stoves, and an on-site wild swimming pond.

The campsite is embedded within a pioneering rewilding project that has been running since 2000, drawing rare species such as nightingales, turtle doves, and purple emperor butterflies.

Roaming herds of cattle, ponies, pigs, and deer shape the surrounding landscape. Guided wildlife safaris led by expert ecologists are available for those wanting a deeper look into the rewilded habitat.

Due to the nature-focused ethos and the presence of shy or easily disturbed wildlife, the campsite operates a 12-and-over policy for guests.
