Brighton is one of England’s premier cities on the beach and a popular destination for beach lovers, swimmers, sailors and those interested in some relaxing walks on the Brighton promenade. In addition to a multitude of hotels, a number of camping options exist in the immediate Brighton area for both tent campers and those with caravans.

The camp itself sits on 17 acres and can accommodate tents, caravans (pop-up trailers) and motor homes. Open all year-round, Sheepcote allows dogs, offers electrical hookups and provides laundry facilities, water closets and showers.
