Dog-friendly cherry orchard site in the peaceful Kent Downs
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 25 minutes’ drive to Whitstable
Barbecues and campfires allowed; pub within two minutes’ walk

Plant yourself firmly in the cherry orchard at Painters Farm Campsite beside the village of Painters Forstal in Kent, where cherries aren’t the only thing blossoming. Previously owned by the same hands for over 50 years, the new owners have injected a new lease of life into this family-friendly and dog-friendly two-acre site… welcomed by barns adorned with fairy lights and the sweet shade from cherry trees, you’ll be well-situated to take in everything from chalk cliffs to wistful woodlands in the surrounding sloping Kent Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Plus, go from grassy pitches into luscious sands, as the coastal town of Whitstable is within 25 minutes’ drive. Here, you can sample sunsets while eating oysters or head out to sea on a sailboat if you wish. The local area is certainly awash with things to do. Perhaps settle for a pint of local ale or a meal in the nearby Kentish pub, within two minutes’ stroll. You could head into Faversham (just a five minutes’ drive) for ice cream shops, cafés and pubs set in what was once a busy port in 17th-century England (famed for its wool trade). Here, walk its cutesy medieval street (one of the oldest in the country) or stock up on supplies from its supermarket within five minutes’ drive, ready for a light barbecue or campfire back on site. If you’re thirsty from the day’s jaunts, there’s also the country’s oldest family-owned brewery within 10 minutes’ drive and a large food hall with naturally scrumptious farm foods within the same distance.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The managers were approachable, polite and endearing with my son and I. I loved hearing about their pre camping lives and how they ended up managing the site. They’re admirable and seem to have big hearts. This is a clean camp site, surrounded by cherry trees, lovely woodland (a few steps away from the site)that my 8 year old son and I enjoyed discovering divine trees and the different bird species. Quirky barn sale was cool too. It helped having the Alma pub a stone throw for the days I didn’t have prepared food. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our first solo camping adventure. All campers seemed friendly. The most impressive thing was that the dogs were kept on their leads and supervised by their owners very well (keeping the site safe) the hygiene standards were high. My son made new friends confidently and ran around constantly so happy to be surrounded by space and nature! We felt safe.

Liked: Karen and Simon greeted us on arrival, really lovely couple and very helpful with explanations of how the campsite is set up. Set in a beautiful surrounding of blossom trees and a shop, water and cleaning facilities on site. We had a wonderful stay and will certainly be back, it's our new favourite campsite in Kent!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Friendly campsite. Great welcome and very laid back. Clean facilities, shop with the basics you need and a couple of things you didn't think you needed. Great views over fields. The pub next door was a shining star! What a gem!

Disliked: Pitches a little close together if your units open on opposite sides... Shower wasn't great - difficult to control temperature and a very sharp stream from one orifice. The shower was not enough to put me off. I mention to hopefully nudge a repair!

Local attractions

Canterbury (20 minutes’ drive) is calling…the town is riddled with UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and the Church of St Martin. Pick out cute eateries or shops as a resting point as you work your way around its well-documented history. If the olden times excite your mind, Belmont House and Gardens (five minutes) are nearby, with a marvellous walled garden and traditional tea room. There are more bountiful gardens (and righteous insides) at Leeds Castle (25 minutes). Balance your outings with wildlife and a visit to the safari-style The Big Cat Sanctuary (35 minutes). Or perhaps look towards the red pandas and bears lurking at Wingham Wildlife Park (half an hour). Nature also runs fairly wild in the ancient woodlands at Blean Woods National Nature Reserve (half an hour). If you’re in search of more coastal towns, you won't have to look too far. Follow the coast past Herne Bay (25 minutes and a good stop for jet skiing, windsurfing and other watersports) and into the trendy town of Margate (40 minutes) for fish and chips stalls and seaside rides.
