Grass pitch (added by manager 29 Jul 2022)

Lovely stay, not busy this time of the year

Our view from our tent, lovely and peaceful.

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: Nice tidy campsite with easy bus link to local attractions

Disliked: Toilets could do with some attention - they just need a decent sweep to get rid of the spiders and cobwebs and they would be fine. Pitches are a little cramped.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Arrived. Guy was friendly and helpful. Have us a selection of pitch choices. We chose a site next to the entrance. Purely as there was a group of 10 of us. (3 adults 7 kids) so wanted to make sure we didn’t disturb others with our noise. It’s a nice small site. But has what’s needed.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such. But facilities are dated. But still very functional.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Open space for kids to play games etc and playground. Close to facilities. Not too noisy (but this is always subject to other campers of course). not far to the sea. Shops close by.

Disliked: Playground dated and roundabout collapsed and didn’t move. Broken wooden ramp for skateboard?? Showers very cramped. Lack of toilet roll at times in toilets. Cramped camping spaces and not offering safe fire distance between tents/vans at times. Noisy folk on quad bikes passing each day.

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.
