  • Friendly site easily accessible via the M20 and M2
  • A 10-minute drive to the seaside resort of Leysdown
  • On the outskirts of Minster village
An island base in south-east England 10 minutes' drive from sands and seaside resort: all is prepared for you and the crew at Plough Leisure Caravan Park on Kent's Isle of Sheppey – and it's all easily accessible via the M20 and M2. The park is on the outskirts of the large village of Minster, home of a Saxon abbey and its gatehouse museum, and an easy 10 minutes' drive from Sheppey's main seaside resort of Leysdown with sandy beaches and six family amusement arcades. The Shellness section of the Swale National Nature Reserve is around here too, along with skinny dipping for the stout-hearted at Swale naturist beach… On-site facilities at Plough include a playground and a field for ball games; for the essentials, there's a toilet and shower block, an outdoor washing-up area, a launderette and a chemical toilet disposal point. It's about 15 minutes' walk into town from here, and five to the nearest bus stop.

What customers say

Guests praise the friendly and helpful staff, peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to beaches. Pitches are generally considered spacious and clean, with well-maintained facilities, although some note they are dated. A children's play area is a hit with families. Issues raised include steep access ramps to facilities and occasional crowding on pitches. The site offers a good base for exploring the local area.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very neat pitch and wonderfully kind owner. Clean toilets and showers. Lots of washing up places with hot water. Drinking water is labelled and easy to find.
Football pitch in the middle with a kiddies climbing frame in clear view. Brilliant :)

Disliked Short steep slope up to the toilets. Could be difficult for some. Would recommend it be made into steps.
Ground gets hard half a peg deep so heavy duty pegs are needed if camping in a tent.
No camp shop but shops are not too far away if driving.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked I stayed at the Plough Leisure Caravan Park campsite as a solo bike traveller and had a wonderful experience. Gaynor is a fantastic host who showed me around the site and its facilities, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

The campsite overlooks beautiful countryside and is nestled in a peaceful location. The facilities were spotless, and the pitches were well maintained.

There's a Budgens supermarket just a 15-minute walk away, which was very handy for picking up a few extra provisions for the evening. All in all, I had a very restful and enjoyable stay.

Disliked Nothing I can think of.

Local attractions

Start off in popular seaside town Leysdown-on-Sea for beachy days punctuated by sugary doughnuts and a fish supper or two, then make it your mission to see the nature and landscapes of Sheppey before driving off-isle into Kent. Between Minster and Sheerness, Barton's Point Coastal Park (10 minutes' drive) covers 40 acres of wide open space popular for canalside walks, cycling and kite flying, and fishing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and canoeing on its lake. Themed open days and funfairs are held in summer and a play area, café and picnic area are also around. The meadows and waterways of nearby Elmley National Nature Reserve (20 minutes) are tiptop for watching birds, insects, mammals, lizards and amphibians – and the sunrises and sunsets are pretty spectacular here too. (Give the reserve a call before setting off to check seasonal opening times.) Around Kent, travel along to Canterbury Cathedral, guided River Stour tours and the Canterbury Tales attraction at the county capital, 40 minutes from Plough Leisure, and to the gorillas, lions, elephants and more of nearby Howletts Wild Animal Park and the Port Lympne Wild Animal Experience, 50 minutes and an hour away. Howletts Wild Animal Park also has a treetop challenge for your own little critters to tackle. Kent's rural heritage is nicely covered at Kent Life in Maidstone (30 minutes), a family attraction with hands-on activities, play areas, tractor rides and animals to hold and feed.
