About Sindles Farm

A haven for nature lovers, this peaceful site is situated in wonderful walking country with the coast just a ten minute drive away. Set in the South Downs National Park, you will be spoilt with picturesque towns and villages to explore. For tent campers, there is a peaceful paddock to pitch up in, great for some quiet. There are just six, 3m x 5m non electric grass pitches, each allowing up to five people. If you are searching for a unique experience, opt for the futuristic Landpod. The quirky pod is elevated from the ground, kitted out with a double bed, single bunk bed, mattresses and a waterproof cover that can be rolled up to allow you to sleep in the open air. The site also offers two charming bell tents, ideal for a traditional camping experience with a touch of luxury. Bluebell is a 5m fully furnished tent which can sleep four with a proper double bed, two chair beds, bedding, a fire pit and an outdoor table and chairs. Daisy comes with a kingsize airbed and no other furnishings, allowing up to two guests. The Hampshire Hut is a modern shepherd's hut which sleeps two in a static double bed, with enough floor space for a cot or air bed. For up to four people, the Sussex Hut comes with a built-in double bed and a handmade sofa bed that converts into a double. Both of the huts also come with a foldout table with chairs for dining, along with a wood-burning stove, logs and cast iron kettle for your morning brew. A camping stove and saucepan can also be provided. Bedding is also provided, along with outdoor seating and a fire pit with a tripod and skillet for cooking. Guests who are using the glamping units are welcome to bring an extra tent to sleep a maximum of two adults and four children. Campers are also welcome to bring their own BBQ along, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. Please note, campers must take rubbish home with them. Dogs are also welcome on the non electric grass pitches, along with all of the glamping units, so be sure to make room for your four legged friends.

Camping is available from 11th July to 14th September, Landpod is open from 23rd May and the shepherds huts are open from 4th May to 2nd November.

A note from the site themselves...

Our farm is varied, growing different arable crops and rearing cattle and sheep. We are very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country and have been fortunate enough to start a business allowing other people to share this.

We bought our first Shepherd's Hut, the Hampshire Hut, at the start of March 2017 and have been busy ever since, spending every child free moment researching, painting or planning setting it up for guests to stay in. We can't wait to welcome you soon, Laura

Camping Pod - LandpodAug 2024

We absolutely loved our night in the land pod at Sindle's Farm. The pod was much more spacious than we imagined and perfect for my niece and I. The camp site was clean and quiet and had a variety of lovely walks nearby. A hidden gem!

Lovely campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024

Lovely clean campsite and Laura the host is wonderful. The non electric pitch site is spacious, yet she only allows 6 to stay at a time on this plot which I think is great, plenty of space each. It had 2 clean toilets and a clean shower hut. There was also fresh drinking water on site too. Nice location as it is 20 ish minutes from West Wittering Beach and 20 ish minutes from Hayling Island and other towns. Something to bear in mind is that I had ZERO bars of signal on my phone which was a real pain, fine if you want to fully switch off but for me it was a bit of a pain. (I'm with the network provide Smarty, maybe check with your provider before if this would bother you). Otherwise a fantastic stay, lovely location and great grounds on a nice working farm. Would recommend.

Outstanding campsite

Shepherd's Hut - Sussex HutJul 2024

We booked Sindles Farm last minute and could not have been more impressed. The site is spotless and reminds me of European campsites in its cleanliness and space management. Laura - the owner - is an absolute gem and can't do enough for you. She even let me jump on their home internet when I had to host an emergency meeting. The breakfast was outstanding. We stayed one night in the Sussex Hut, which was lovely and very private and one night in their yurt which sleeps 4 as well. Both were exceptional. Cannot recommend highly enough.
