Idle Hours Owlsbury Park

A small, basic, yet welcoming campsite, Owlsbury Park is an adults only site that is great for singles or couples that want to get away from it all and spend some time at one with nature. One of the most charming holiday parks in East Sussex, Owlsbury Park is found in one and a half acres of beautiful countryside.

This campsite has five hardstanding pitches for touring caravans and motorhomes, as well as 10 grass pitches available for holidaymakers planning to stay in their tents.

All the pitches at Owlsbury Park are within easy reach of water points and chemical waste disposal facilities, while there is also a toilet block in addition to a shower and washing up area. Solar hook-ups are available for those looking to generate energy in this manner, and there is a quiet generator that guests are able to hire.

At this campsite in Sussex you'll also find several picnic tables and benches dotted around the site where guests are able to enjoy their meals al fresco, or simply sit and take in the lovely surroundings.

There are plenty of things to do near Owlsbury Park to keep you occupied during your camping, motorhome and caravan holidays. This campsite is very close to a number of fishing lakes and there is a fishing club nearby to stock up on fishing supplies and equipment, if you need it.

You can explore the countryside that surrounds this holiday park at your own leisure, and as there's somewhere to hire bicycles near the site, why not head out on two wheels and tackle the rolling terrain this way.
