Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I had a lovely 2 night stay at Painters Farm. On arrival I was greeted by the friendly owners and shown to my pitch. Pitch size was plenty big enough and the pitches are clearly marked out. Showers, toilets and washing up facilities are clean and tidy and well-lit. There is a little shop for essentials. The site was a mixture of families, cyclists and walkers. It is very quiet at night. Dogs are very welcome and I appreciated helpful touches like hooks for dog leads outside the toilet block. Cars are parked in a separate field but you can unload at your pitch first and there's no rush at all.
Disliked Nothing at all to dislike about the campsite itself. The only downside for me was that one night I was unable to eat at the local pub because I hadn't booked a table. Do follow the recommendations and BOOK if you want to eat! My first night I didn't have any problems but the second night they would not take my order even though I was sitting outside and there was only one of me :-(
I did enjoy my fish and chips from Ospringe fish bar a few mins drive away though :-)

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely small site ideal base for visiting sites in Kent. Well looked after by friendly wardens. Clean facilities, free hot showers and small shop. Fires allowed, great for families, very safe for children.
Disliked Not much space between pitches. We had a large tent as did our neighbours either side.
