Family-focused campsite with stunning views over Port Lympne
Two miles from Dymchurch and its sandy beach; Hythe 10 minutes' drive
On-site shop; activities for kids and adults; dogs and campfires OK

Set in the pretty foothills of Port Lympne and just two miles from Dymchurch and its sandy beach, Fallow Fields Lathe Barn is a friendly site for families in the gorgeous Kent countryside. Spread over 10.5 acres of fields and woodlands, it has modern facilities including well-maintained toilets, hot showers and an on-site shop selling local produce to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The site, which is run by the people behind the very popular Fallow Fields campsite nearby, is located in Burmarsh, about half a mile outside the village centre where there is a local pub for meals, snacks and drinks. There is also a bus stop in the village, with regular services running to both Ashford and Folkestone. Fallow Fields Lathe Barn is definitely a kid-pleaser, and not just because of its proximity to the beach – there's a range of on-site activities available for both young ones and grownups here, including family film evenings, bushcraft, welly wanging and yoga. Dogs are also welcome to come and stay, and campfires are allowed too. Please note that this is a family-focused place, not somewhere for late-night parties. To ensure an enjoyable stay for everyone, the Fallow Fields Lathe Barn team asks that quiet hours be respected between 10.30pm and 7.30am.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic washing and washing-up facilities, lovely on-site shop and pizzeria. Great team. Good field for small children to cycle round and round

Disliked: How close together the plots are. This is probably just normal for “normal” campsites but it just didn’t give that feeling of freedom that you get when tents are scattered round a big field. This is a perfectly nice field but I guess a little smaller than I’m used to. Also there are no footpaths close by. To go for a walk/explore anything away from the (small) campsite you have to drive first.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Showers Relaxed festival vibe Loads of activities for kids Having a pitch next to our friends Great campsite shop

Disliked: Bratty kids having shocking meltdowns and parents doing nothing about it. If it was just one child I might have put it down to SEN or something but there were 3 families in different groups over the weekend I was there. I don't want my 5 year old to hear other children speaking like that to their parents. Not sure the campsite can do anything about that, but it does seem to attract that clientele.

Local attractions

Plumes of steam are often visible from Fallow Fields Lathe Barn, as trains from the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway trundle their way along just a short distance away. If you fancy riding the rails, the nearest station is in Dymchurch (five minutes' drive), where there is also a sandy beach and visitor centre with plenty to see and do. Alternatively, you could head out on a safari at Port Lympne Reserve‍ (10 minutes), a popular breeding sanctuary that's home to rare and endangered animals such as tigers, rhinos, zebras, gorillas and bears. If extinct animals are more your (or your kids') jam, there's also a dinosaur forest where you can stomp through the trees in search of T-Rex and pterodactyls. Heading slightly further afield, you could explore the seaside towns of Folkestone (25 minutes), a treasure trove of vintage clothes, fab furniture finds and tasty street food. Alternatively, there's the old fishing village of Dungeness (25 minutes) with its vast shingle beach and the far-off shadow of its power station. Wherever you end up exploring, don't forget the pretty town of Hythe (10 minutes) with its well-preserved medieval and Georgian buildings.
