  • Grass pitches at a 21-acre farm site in the Weald of Kent
  • A 10-minute drive from Headcorn Aerodrome and Sissinghurst Castle
  • Quiet site with ponds on site; two miles from High Halden and A28
Brickhouse Farm has grass pitches within the grounds of a farm in the Weald of Kent two miles from the village of High Halden, and about 15 minutes’ drive from Ashford. Accessed via a quiet country lane but close to the A28, this is a site that’s part of a 21-acre farmstead made up of pastureland and fishing ponds. At the centre of the property is a Grade II listed farmhouse, and there’s also a classic Kentish barn on site along with an assortment of farm buildings. The pitches here are simple in style but with access to water, a cesspit and a toilet and shower block that’s been done up to a very high standard. Barbecues are permitted (pick up supplies 10 minutes away on Tenterden’s lovely high street) and the area’s peppered with pubs catering for all tastes, styles and price levels. It’s easy to fill your days with fresh air around here – there are plenty of places to stroll or cycle in the nearby High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and a couple of golf courses within a few minutes’ drive. If you’re feeling brave perhaps fling yourself out of a plane at Headcorn Aerodrome; if not, perhaps sampling the wine at the local vineyard would be more your style. Other days out? Maybe gorgeous Leeds Castle, a shopping spree at Ashford’s designer outlets or a big cat encounter at an animal park? Or of course you could head down to Ashford and jump on the high-speed train for a trip to London – the capital’s only about 35 minutes away.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Warm welcome on arrival. Clean toilet/shower/washing up facilities. Quiet site just far enough to be away from hustle and bustle. We arrived on a couple of motorcycles and were offered a paving slab/bricks for side stands. Fire pits available for hire.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. The only negative and it’s not really that, but the hire of the pit I think was a bit expensive almost matching the nightly pitch fee. That said we were supplied with more than enough wood for the whole evening. This I just a trial and I would possibly suggest in future maybe pre book or book on arrival the fire pit free and buy the wood you use. Again this isn’t something I’ve done before. My son and I did enjoy it whilst looking at the super moon. Not really a dislike

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Wow! What a beautiful site. We stayed for the bank holiday weekend, as a family with a 3 year old. There was generous spaces between pitches (we were in the far corner, away from the ponds to be safe with a little one), 3 beautifully maintain ponds, facilities were spotless and exactly what you need. We hired the fire pit and wood for the weekend, generous supply of wood provided. The owners were wonderful, kind, and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will certainly be back. :)

Disliked: No dislikes, but I wasn't aware of there being WiFi. I think I may have missed it on the confirmation details. It didn't affect our stay, infact I'm glad I didn't know.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Such a beautiful site with good quality facilities and generous spacing between plots. We loved how friendly our hosts were and how thoughtful they were to our needs and sharing of recommendations for our days. Nothing better than campfires in the evening. The lakes were beautiful. Thanks so much!!!

Disliked: There were a lot of wasps but that couldn’t be helped and it certainly wasn’t too much of a problem - just that time of year and what you expect when camping!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Superb- very quiet- just what we wanted- no hassle- toilet facilities better than expected - Nice welcome from owner and then left alone, which is great. As close to wild camping as I could get with kids without breaking and laws. Very satisfied.

Disliked: Not a dislike, be aware however there is deep water ponds so if you have young kids you would have to keep an eye out- but for me with 2 x 12 year olds it didn’t matter.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: There is so much to like about this campsite. Gill, the owner was charming and helpful. The campsite is open and beautiful, plenty of space to pitch in any direct you wish. 2 large ponds to pitch by, or a more secluded spot, we chose a far corner. Just lovely. All the amnesties (shower/loo) are tiled, clean, and kept immaculate day and night. It is well positioned to visit so many places of interest. We visited 4 national trust properties Scotney Castle, Bodiam Castle, Lambs House, and Sissinghurt Castle. Lovely days out, lovely evenings by the campfire, what more could you want? Ok, there are some great pubs in beautiful villages surrounding the area too. If you only camp once in this area, make sure its on Brick House Farm. 10/10.
