What customers say
Herons Park offers spacious pitches, clean facilities, and very friendly, helpful staff. The site is well-located for local attractions and offers a playground and fishing lake. Some guests noted that more showers and toilets are needed, particularly during peak times. Noise from the adjacent go-kart track can be an issue for some. The management is actively planning upgrades to the facilities.

Good for young children, space to run around in. Friendly. Good sites
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great staff, friendly and happy to guide or answer questions
The shop although small stocked what we needed - local beer and ice!
Good separation between pitches .
Really good location for exploring Dungeness and the Romney marsh area.
Flat pitches
Disliked A bit of a hike to facilities , this year ,26, they are limited for shower and toilets (gents 2 showers and 2 toilets), but a sign posted stating that for 27 they will be expanded.
Free Wi-Fi for basic use is free but did not reach the far side of the site . Paid Wi-Fi was on offer for heavier use.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for a great review. Wifi should reach all areas of the field, we will look into this and see what happened during your stay :)
Only my second time camping and I thought it was a lovely place.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked This place is ideal for camping. It was the little things they’ve thought of, the toilets and showers were really clean and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely return and next time pick my pitch.
Disliked Funnily enough the only thing I didn’t like, which could not have been prevented in any way, was the wind! I’ll have to buy another wind breaker!
