Bit late now maybe but had a great time camping in Alfriston last summer. Posh town but down to earth campsite with fire pits and firewood for sale. Also good walking/cycling as its on the South Downs Way. People there were super friendly - our tent got blown away on the hike there (luckily cheap argos one), and on arrival to the campsite we had heaps offering to let us sleep in their cars. In the end a hen party happened to have some spare tents saving us from a night under the elements.
On a related note now that its summer, would anyone be keen on doing some "Sub 24 hour" bike-packing/camping trips? Preferably mostly gravel/off-road? Leaving London on the friday/saturday and returning the next day?
