Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: It was perfect. Peaceful camping out in beautiful countryside, plenty of space and lovely walks on site. Kick back and relax at this beautiful campsite. Wildlife was plentiful, stars so clear as no light pollution . Host welcoming and shared local information , then left us to it , which was just what we liked. Shower and toilets basic but clean. Plenty room to find a level pitch. Us oldies liked the tree swing , such treat.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Huge field in great location and you can pitch wherever you like. Local pub only a short walk through the adjoining field. Horses and sheep for neighbours. Portaloos were clean, but could do with a couple more dotted around for peak times. Would definitely stay here again.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: lovely back to nature campsite but with loos and shower (essential for me!) It was slightly hard to find, I missed the turning so had to double back. The site is large but not at all crowded I get the impression they only allow a certain number of people to let us have plenty of space Lovely views, I didn't explore the area or use the local pub which I understand is in walking distance as I went to the Hythe Food Fair one day and to the wonderful sandy beach at Dymchurch the other,

From the manager: Thanks for your positive comments, Phillippa, much appreciated! We'll get better signage for the entrance for next season!
Definitely a place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Liked: Not very much.
Disliked: You couldn't find a more sloping uneven site to camp on. The toilets were dirty had no soap one of the toilets didn't flush. My view is that the £3 reservation fee and the £17 camping fee is expensive for what is on offer. I would not recommend this site to anyone.
