Chestnut Meadow Camping & Caravan Park
Chestnut Meadow is a family run site, set amidst picturesque countryside close to Bexhill-on-Sea in 1066 Country.
The site is newly re-furbished for 2010 and new facilities include a shop, reception, cafe, launderette, indoor games hall, childrens play area, and a completely re-furbished toilet/shower block. We have 75 pitches, all extra wide to give you plenty of space. We have all types of pitches including fully serviced, with hard standing, water, drainage, and electric to your pitch. Hard standing with electric, grass pitches with or without electric plus Wi-Fi internet access available to all pitches. The site is predominantly level with far reaching countryside views.
Our shop will stock all essential items, including chocolate and ice cream, and our facilities are licensed for that relaxing glass of wine. Our aim is to create a truly relaxing caming atmosphere for all.

Road Directions
The site is located directly off the A269 Hailsham to Bexhill-on-Sea road, just north of Sidley.
If travelling south, go through Lunsford Cross, you'll pass Mount Pleasant MOT garage on your right, and then Thorne Crescent. Just after Thorne Crescent you'll see our sign on the left hand side opposite our entrance. Turn right here and follow the access road down to our site.
If travelling north, drive through Sidley heading towards Ninfield, as the road narrows slightly you'll go through a series of little bends and on your left there will be a turning called St Mary's Lane. Go past this and as you go round the corner you will see our sign on the right opposite our entrance. Turn left here (the turning is quite sharp so if you're towing or in a large motorhome please give yourself some room to swing in). Follow the access road down to our site.
