Woolton Farm

Liked Our family had a 1 night stay at Woolton Farm. The staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean. Easy day trip to Whitstable from camping ground. We would recommend.

Disliked The pitches are very close together, therefore, we found it particularly loud and difficult to sleep.

Liked The Barn bar with own cider and wine. Generous self pitch size. Very green.

Disliked The communal fridge could be cleaner. There was no food there and didn’t feel like it was working.

Liked Lovely peaceful campsite, it's quite a small field with just a few pitches that are really well spaced out so you get your own space, the field also has great facilities!
We absolutely loved our stay here and felt so relaxed. The barn is brilliant with lots of local wine and beer options, and the staff are so lovely and helpful. Had breakfast at the barn on our last day and it was delicious with both meaty and veggie options. No WiFi in the field which we quite liked but have the option to use at the bar if needed. We really want to come back soon, thanks so much!

Liked The barn looked lovely, although we didnt eat or drink there ,staff were pleasant
I had emailed them that I had a tent that might be too big for the pitch. They kindly gave me another pitch free for this visit
We could hear the monkeys at howletts zoo at night

Disliked On arrival we were told to park in the car park and take our tent and bits in rickety wheelbarrows. Only 2 for the whole campsite .only 2 toilets which were dirty . One had empty hand soap and no paper . 2 showers . I alerted the staff and they were cleaned
Kitchen area was not clean . Refuse bins wernt emptied
This campsite is only available at weekends so it should have been clean and ready
Grass desperately need a cut

Liked Very lovely facility’s and the people was outstanding. When we arrived we was welcomed by a smiling face. Which goes along way for us. He couldn’t have been more help. His name was max. We love camping we either go as a family as we have 2 children or for a weekend away just 2 of us. We would recommend this place. The food was lovely we ate pizza and had drinks and in the morning we had a lovely breakfast and coffee was well worth the stay. We will deffo be back many thanks

Liked Lovely surroundings for the camping field and the barn was very rustic which was nice. Staff in the barn were polite but a little bit disorganised.

Great to hear the noises from howletts zoo in the morning as well, made it feel a bit more like a safari!

Disliked Got there and gent I spoke to wasn’t a fan of pitchup which immediately didn’t fill me with confidence. Was given slightly vague direction to where I needed to go rather than being shown, I guess he was understaffed which I can understand. Was told I could unload my belongings onto a wheel barrow to trudge to the other end of the field (we were the only campers in it), but when we got there the wheelbarrow wasn’t there. Unpacked our belongings and setup the tent and then had a Quick Look in the camp kitchen, which wasn’t particularly clean and the bins were full. Tried to use the toilet but they and the showers were locked so had to go all the way back to reception to ask for them to be opened.
Staff member kindly organised the wheel barrow and someone to clean the kitchen and empty the bins. Went to use the shower but the one they had unlocked had no water supply so had to ask the boy emptying the bins if he could sort it out, which received a bit of a sarcastic response which I wasn’t best pleased about.

It seems to me the place is catered more for the upper middle class with money for the “glamping” rather than the rest of us bringing our own tents and being left to fend for ourselves. Maybe they need to just plain focus on the glamping or make an actual effort for the standard camping as well rather than it being half assed and pushed to the side?!

Liked Location is fantastic, food and drinks from the barn are great.

Disliked The beds need some attention!! Other glamping set ups have much better beds, this wasn’t much better than pitching your own tent and sleeping on a very thin camping mattress. It was a shame as all the bedding was lovely. Our friends have since stayed and said the exact same thing.
