Selden Farm Camping

Selden Farm Camping is a tents-only, back-to-basics site at Old Selden Farm on Selden Lane, Patching, in the South Downs National Park near Worthing in West Sussex. This is meadow camping in the plainest sense: large grass pitches, each with its own campfire pit, set apart from cars, which are kept out of the camping field entirely. Flush toilets and free hot showers sit close by, so you get the basics done well without any glamping add-ons. Selden Farm suits campers who want proper simple camping, a fire going and a clear view of the stars, and it will not suit anyone after hook-ups, hardstanding or a shop on site, since none of these are on offer. The farm also runs Selden Barns wedding venue and a bed and breakfast alongside the campsite, so you are staying on a genuinely working smallholding rather than a purpose-built holiday park. Worthing and the South Downs Way are both within easy reach for a day out on foot or by bike from this corner of West Sussex. Pitches tend to fill up early for the summer season, so book ahead through the site's own website for current prices.
