Bodiam boating station
Bodiam Boating Station is a family-run riverside site situated on the River Rother in East Sussex, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The small, grass-pitch campsite sits adjacent to the onsite Lime Wharf Café and is open from March through October.
Beyond camping, the station offers boat hire — rowing boats, kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards — as well as guided river cruises.
Paddling upstream roughly four miles brings you to Bodiam Castle, while heading downstream nine miles leads to the historic fishing town of Rye. Fishing permits are also available on site. Dogs are welcome, and the campsite encourages campfires.
