What customers say
This is a quiet, rural campsite with friendly owners. It offers a back-to-basics camping experience in a scenic location, ideal for those seeking peace and countryside walks. Facilities are generally described as clean and adequate for the small site, although some mention only one toilet/shower. Roads approaching the site are narrow. A nearby pub and proximity to Canterbury are highlights.

All in all a lovely spot
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A lovely peaceful spot. Owls hooting a night. Stayed from Friday to weds in a small campervan. Needed ramps as ground is slightly sloping but it’s well drained. There’s a lean to with sink in field with cold tap and little shower room with a toilet across the lane. Few cars use this lane. This was nice a spacious. But could do with a new shower head, tho the shower is nice with plenty of hot water. It’s on a working farm. So expect farm noises. This isn’t intrusive.
The Duck pub just over the hedge was nice and we ate there one night for a treat. A little pricey.
The red lion pub in Bridge was really nice and I thoroughly recommend. Cycled into Canterbury was quite straightforward. Tho some road, they were relatively quiet. And lots of lane cycling. I really liked it here.
Disliked The porta loo. As others have commented wasn’t the best and I personally couldn’t sit on it.
When it got busy having only one shower and toilet together you often had to wait to use the toilet. Not always a problem as people came and went quite quickly. There are 6 pitches or so but sometimes there maybe 6 people in a group. So it may or can be a problem.

Liked Back to basics good old camping loved it😎
Only one toilet, shower/washroom. But being a very small site. it was more than adequate. And it was clean and well maintained. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the area very scenic( well it would be as in the garden of England)
Take it easy on the approaching roads. Very narrow and often occupied by farm machinery and lorry's along with the odd car or 2.
Disliked None

From the manager: We are small advertising only 4 pitches and we have 2 toilets !! It is checked and cleaned throughout the day I am sorry but you must of followed a fellow camper who made a mess.why not report it to us (we don't bite ) rather than gives us an necessary low mark
