We offer a selection of bell tents or you can bring your own tent. The camping is set across 2 fields and extends to 12 acres. We have a maximum of 30 tents so it is never crowded.

We also have a small fishing lake which guests are welcome to use for a small donation. We restocked last year and there are carp and several species of smaller silver fish. It is ideal for beginners and children. Any children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Setts Wood Farm is perfectly positioned to explore Tenterden and the surrounding villages, and is less than a 20 minute drive to the historic town of Rye, with the beaches of Camber, Dymchurch and Littlestone just a few minutes further.

We just got back from another stay here, and it was just as great as our trip last year!
The hosts are so lovely and welcoming. The facilities are top-notch, too—the showers actually have really good water pressure, and having a little kitchenette with a fridge, kettle, and cooker makes camping so much easier.
The vibe is just really fun and relaxed. We loved seeing all the kids running around and having water fights; it’s a perfect family atmosphere. We had a brilliant time and we’ll definitely be heading back again!

Fantastic. We had the best weekend here. Claire provides everything you could need and more which makes the entire experience so much easier, especially with kids. Bathrooms and tents were really clean, all facilities in great shape. Grounds are beautiful with plenty of big old trees and space to explore. Claire was super kind and helpful and even let our kids hold her ducklings which was a real highlight for them. Would absolutely recommend and hope to return!

Lovely ‘wild Glamping’ set up. Off grid.
Each bell tent was equipped so that all you need to bring is bedding, food and a tea towel.
We stayed on a very hot evening so the tree cover was welcome. Plenty of shade and protected from elements. There is a little field if you want to get out from the woods (and play a little badminton). Bucket shower was great.
I also over stayed by an hour or so (thanks!) and saw just how much effort was put into the cleaning of the cooking equipment etc by the staff who were wonderful.
I did take a camping stove as I wasn’t sure I wanted to cook over a fire during the heatwave but actually I made a fire anyway as it is always fun and could have coped without.
If going in wet weather I would make sure you take decent footwear - that’s all! Thanks for a lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

2 nights at Sindles Farm Glamping and Camping
It was so lovely to camp on Laura's land in the Hampshire Hut: it was warm and cosy at night, and there was a beautiful breeze when I lay down on the bed to read late afternoon after walks in nearby fields and on the beach at West Wittering. My friend stayed in the adjoining Sussex hut and we took over the end of the field, cooking on the open fire. We heard an owl at night and hedgerow birds during the day: the huts looked across rural farmland where buzzards and Kites could be seen. Laura was so helpful and welcoming: a wheelbarrow of the driest wood made fires in the evening easy to light. The bathrooms were very comfortable, including starlit visits in the night. We also enjoyed visiting the new Goodwood Art Foundation just 20 minutes away by car.

Had a really enjoyable stay at this campsite. The setting is peaceful with plenty of open space, making it perfect for relaxing and switching off for a few days. The views around the site are lovely, and the atmosphere feels friendly and welcoming. Facilities were clean and well maintained, and the owners were helpful whenever we needed anything. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for a simple countryside camping experience away from busy tourist areas. Would definitely come back and recommend it to others looking for a relaxing camping trip.
