  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Facilities were to a good standard
Decent hot showers
Well maintained site
Friendly owners

Disliked A big group of scumbags,there kids running ragged everywhere using our setup as a hide to throw water bombs,often covering our belongings in water,all of them shouting while the parents sat around smoking weed later on that night we and other guest were rudely awoken by a group of middle age women on the phone shouting racial slurs,threats of violence and every swear word under the sun this went on till 2-3am in the morning right by the side of us,also witnessing one blowing her nose and just discarding of the tissue onto the floor! They were also told by a member of staff which one of the delightful young ladies squared upto!

A lovely welcome very friendly. Pitch was lovely site had everything we needed…

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very welcoming greeting as we pulled up - and very busy with loads of fellow cyclists preparing for the Chase the Sun event (208 mile ride across the country in a day).
Simple but clean facilities. Everyone well behaved and quiet too. Electric pitches lots of room even though busy.

Disliked Nothing really

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope to see you again soon.

Excellent, felt safe and good facilities, very host…

Disliked N/A

From the manager: Hi Shaun,
Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
One of the joys of our job is meeting all the wonderful people who visit us here at Plough Leisure and sharing their stories with us.
We look forward to seeing you again and I am so glad your first experience of using your new camper van was a positive one.
With best wishes
Jane

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.
