Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked: The site was in a great location, only 4 miles from Canterbury and a 10 minute walk into Littlebourne. Despite this it was very peaceful. There was loads of room (admittedly there were only 3 pitches occupied on the night we stayed) and our grass pitch was nice and level. The owners were very friendly and helpful providing us with a list of local pubs, restaurants and attractions. We walked into Littlebourne to the Evenhill pub for dinner and the food was very good.
Disliked: There was only one loo open and one shower which was fine for us but may get overcrowded in peak season. There seemed to be a second loo which was locked so I guess they will open that up in the summer.

Liked: Location is wonderful within easy walk of lovely pubs and beautiful Kentish villages and streams. The entire site is on level ground, so no need for blocks. It’s super peaceful too. Loos and shower were clean and the communal fire pit gave the whole campsite warmth and character.
Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Such a relaxed atmosphere. We were greeted on our arrival, given the tour of site (wonderful shower and toilets), as well as providing us with information regarding local shops, pubs and restaurants. Even though the site was busy (we were told the busiest they have ever been) we weren't on top of each other amd had plenty of space between pitches. We were supplied with a concrete slab to pop our BBQ onto, to protect the grass but BBQs and fire pits could be hired. I could not fault this campsite and would be more than happy to visit again.

Liked: Lovely hosts, Great location for coast, walks, pubs and food. Facilities were fine, most importantly they were clean. The information sheets by the shower were a nice touch, If I had any advice for the hosts going forward, maybe a couple more loos and a shelter for the washing up area as you are going to become a popular site very soon.

Liked: When we arrived we were greeted in a friendly manner. The owners don't have a reception but live in the house just outside the field so are always nearby if help or assistance was needed. I liked that they greeted us, they were friendly and even though it was showing as fully booked, it wasn't over crowded. I liked that they had some toys and activities set up for the community to share, encouraging the kids to all play together, as well as the communal fire pit that everyone was welcome to come to of an evening and chat. Shower and toilets were clean and accessible. The owners were friendly and socialable and provided a list of nearby activities and places to visit. Most of those were in walking distance, and the rest were not a long drive away. Really not far at all from Canterbury so great to stay if you want to explore the town properly. Will come back for sure!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike. We all enjoyed our time.

Liked: Basic but lovely spot , I used this pitch to stay overnight before sailing out from Dover . Drive was 15 mins.
Disliked: I have stayed at basic pitches before , I think a better shower and toilet facilities would be the only improvement but a basic setup contributes to the experience.
