These are some of the adult-only campsites you can visit in Sussex this summer.
Sometimes you want to go camping without the noise of excited children.
There are surprisingly few adult-only campsites and glamping spots in the county and we have collated a list of some of those you can visit.
These sites allow you to enjoy the serene nature of Sussex surrounded by animals and beautiful views.
Furzefield Barn, Pagham, near Bognor
The first is Furzefield Barn in Pagham which offers a glamping pod or two tent pitches for up to six people.
The glamping pod includes a double bed, food preparation area and a sink. There is also internet access.
It is “perfect for peace and quiet and a connection with nature and wildlife”.
Guests who visit in the autumn and winter can see flocks of dark bellied brent geese.
Summer visitors can enjoy seeing swallows nesting in the barn every summer.
The site is near three pubs, beach and offers wifi and toilets.

Hastings 1066, Telham, near Battle

One of the bell tents sleeps up to six people, while the smaller one has room for two guests.
A bell tent costs £110 for two nights, while a tent pitch costs £10 a night.
The site is just a 15-minute drive from beaches at St Leonards and a 30-minute walk from Battle so guests will have plenty of choice for days out.
There is also a country pub opposite which is “perfect for evenings out enjoying a big meal and a couple of glasses of wine with just a short walk back to your pitch”.
The site is on a working smallholding which means campers can enjoy seeing the many animals including horses and chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys.
The site allows over-16s but because of the animals on the farm, no dogs are allowed in the camping area.
