We stayed at the WoWo campsite near Sheffield Park, Sussex, with around 30 of us camping out for the weekend.

The weather was fantastic the whole time, and there was loads to do in the day, with the campsite being close to the Bluebell Railway and the National Trust’s Sheffield Park and Garden attraction.
