Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Expectations we exceeded and had an amazing weekend. Welcomed with a very friendly camp manager who had carefully selected our sites based on ages of our children. Our neighbours had kids exactly the same ages and the kids played all weekend. The shower was great. The 'Hub' or main area was perfect with great seating arrangements near with outdoor play area. Drinks sold were of good quality - coffee and alcohol. Gift shop had brilliant stuff for sale. Highly recommended pizza and cocktail night on a friday! Highly recommended taking advantage of the on site water activities - including a mega SUP (paddleboard for 8ppl). We never got a chance to take steam train, but did have a visit to nearby Bodium Castle. 2 pubs near by too. And local Londis for essentials.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: We stayed for three nights. The pitch and all facilities were level, quiet and clean. There was plenty of space for children to play safely Or go paddle boarding. All other campers there and the site staff were friendly. There is a pub only 10 minutes walk away next to Bodiam Castle. Also, the site has its own Cafe/shop with great breakfasts and lunches, and on Friday nights it’s pizza and cocktail hour! There are plenty of things to visitor attractions to see nearby, Bewl Water, Kent and East Sussex railway, Bodiam Castle, Rye, Hastings, Tenterden, Battle and beaches at Rye or Camber sands. We only live half an hour away, but it was great all the same! Thank you very much !
Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Nice pitches well away from any roads so it really felt like we were in the middle of nature. Good little walk along the river to Bodiam. Friendly staff and everywhere was clean and tidy. Nice to have a cafe/bar and play area on site and plenty of green space for children to run around.
Disliked: Toilets/showers were quite far away from our pitch. Cafe/bar prices were quite high.

Liked: We had motorhomes but stayed in the tent pitches place, Poplars. Thank you. It was a beautiful campsite, adequate facilities, the Faith in Nature soap was helpful in the chemical loo. The hot water for showering and dishwashing was great at any time. We liked the fact that you didn't want cars around, as it made it safer for all the families there. We were very relieved to be near some trees, for respite from the strong winds. we went to the Hub this morning, where we queued for your excellent croissants. It was a little bit awkward launching the paddle boards yesterday as it was so crowded. We look forward to visiting again. Juliet

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Loved the picturesque site right next to the river but safe for young children to play. Great cafe and shop. A very short walk along the river to the castle and the steam railway meant the car was redundant!
Disliked: While other reviews had pointed out the smell of the toilets, and while the aroma is not pleasant it stays at the block. The proximity to the tents also far outweighs the negatives. The cafe could have been open a little earlier for breakfast.
