Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Charming location
Friendly staff
Breakfast tent and early evening bar
Very confident location for Margate, Richborough, Walmer etc.
Clean toilet facilities
We got lucky in that the adjacent pitch to ours was not occupied, which gave us more privacy than we would otherwise have had
Disliked: It would have been useful to have had the shop fully stocked with meat such as sausages and burgers etc. These had run out by the time we arrived. I am sure they would have no problems selling these if they ensured a ready supply.
I always think there are never enough toilet cubicles on these places. There seemed to be 3x men’s and 3x women’s which doesn’t give much resilience.

From the manager: Hi! Thank you for the review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location of our site, our friendly team and what we had to offer here at Fallow Fields!
We also appreciate your constructive comments and can only apologise that we had run out of fresh meat; demand is high, however we will definitely review how to keep the stock up during busy times. Regarding the toilets, we have 4 women’s cubicles, 3 men’s cubicles plus a urinal, and a family restroom. The recommended ratio of toilets to pitches is 1:30. Here at Fallow Fields we have a ratio of 1:15 pitches which is twice the recommendation. We do understand that these can feel busier during peak times.
Would definitely booked again

Liked: This was our second trip to Fallow Fields. It is a lovely clean and welcoming site with very friendly staff and good clean facilities.
The field kitchen serves the best wood fired pizza I’ve ever had and the bar has a good selection of drinks.
Very much looking forward to coming back again.
Disliked: I feel the shop has a limited variety for people who are traveling light and it would be handy if they took cash, or at least advertise that it’s a card only site.

From the manager: Hi Marc, thank you so much for your review, we’re glad you enjoyed all of our facilities and the friendly customer service we offer. We’re thrilled you enjoyed our pizzas and will take a look at our signage to make sure our card only policy is clear. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

From the manager: Hi, thank you for the feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our site and would recommend us to your friends. Regarding the smell, we hope it didn’t affect your stay, however, onsite storage is the reality of rural locations that offer ‘like home’ facilities, and you can get the odd whiff!
