YHA South Downs

Dorm rooms have multiple beds and are shared with other people who may not be travelling together. They are usually more affordable than private rooms as you'll be booking a bed rather than the whole room.

A typical shared dorm room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest.

Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.

Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. Some of our shared dorm rooms are en-suites, meaning that they have a bathroom that you would share with other guests who are also staying in the room.

Want some privacy? With a private room, you'll be booking the whole room for your stay.

Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus a wash hand basin.

Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room.

For added privacy, relax with your family, friends or by yourself in a private en-suite room.

Private en-suite rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus shower and toilet facilities solely for the people in your room.

If you like camping, you'll love these wooden camping pods! A stay in them will includes all the fun of camping plus protection from the elements - they even have heaters.

Bring all your usual camping gear, apart from sleeping bags and mats. Our standard pods sleep up to 2 people on two single beds, while our large pods sleep up to 4 people on a double bed and two single beds. Each pod also has its own individual decking area.

Three are four camping pods at YHA South Downs. Guests have full use of the hostel's facilities including the self-catering kitchen, showers and toilets.

Like camping but with a few added extras! Our Landpods sleep up to 4 people, on two double mattresses and a single futon mattress, which doubles up as the seating area. All bedding is included, plus duvets and LED lighting.

Landpods don't have heating, so are more suited to the those who like a traditional camping experience. Even in the colder months, it’s nothing a couple of warm, cosy blankets can’t fix! There is a bench and BBQ firepit outside, so make the most of the great outdoors and dine al fresco.

Our spacious bell tents are fully kitted out with a double bed and two single futons (plus one futon seat that can be converted into a bed) and can sleep up to five people with all bedding included.

There is eco-friendly solar lighting and comfy bean bags for you to chill out on during the day, plus a coffee table and rugs. Premium bell tents also have the addition of a woodburner to keep you cosy. 

There are two premium bell tents at YHA South Downs, available to book for stays from May to September. Guests have full use of the hostel's facilities including the self-catering kitchen, showers and toilets.

Camping is sold per person and not per pitch. During the booking process, you will need to select the number of people who you wish to camp.

YHA South Downs offers camping facilities on a limited number of dates. Guests have full use of the hostel's facilities including the self-catering kitchen, showers and toilets.
