Stubcroft Farm Campsite is an award winning, traditional, family run site close to some of the South Coast’s best sandy beaches, Chichester Harbour and the South Downs National Park. We pride ourselves on a friendly & welcoming atmosphere.The campsite is in level paddocks surrounded by arable fields and sheltered by attractive hedges & trees. There is a wealth of wildlife on the farm with over 72 species of birds identified; deer, hedgehogs, foxes, rabbits, rare butterflies and much more. Stubcroft is uniquely situated in an area known since medieval times as "God's Pocket" for its warm, sunny location and sandy beaches. It is in the lee of the Isle of Wight, which provides a mild, dry local microclimate with one of the highest average sunshine hours on the UK mainland.
Our Award-Winning new shower & toilet block was opened in 2016 with modern facilities including showers, toilets, washbasins, family rooms with baby changing facilities, hairdryers, washing up sinks, laundry, phone & tablet charging lockers, camper’s fridge / freezer and a well-stocked shop & reception area. It incorporates many innovative eco-friendly features, for more details see our website.
The campsite has received many awards including the Beautiful South's "Campsite of the Year", the prestigious Green Tourism “Gold Award”, Visit England’s “Beautiful South” Gold Award for Responsible, Ethical & Sustainable Tourism and the Gold Award for Access & Inclusivity.
We have 35 electric hook-up points as well as all weather hardstanding pitches for campervans, caravans & motorhomes and traditional grass tent pitches. The shop serves teas & coffee and stocks a good range of groceries including fresh milk. eggs & bread, local fresh sausages, bacon & barbecue produce, ice creams & cold drinks, logs, charcoal, camping goods & much more. We hire firepits for that classic evening campfire complete with logs, marshmallows & toasting sticks!
