Sandwich Lakes offers a peaceful setting with spacious, well-maintained pitches. Visitors praise the clean, modern shower and toilet facilities, and the on-site cafe receives consistent positive feedback for its food and friendly staff. Fishing is a popular activity, with well-stocked lakes.

Great place and we will definitely visit again.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely open spaces and great for touting around the Thanet peninsula.
The large campsite is great for kids to play on and in another area by the cafe and fishing car park is a super kids play area. Lovely to walk around the lakes and they are very well kept. For added interest, there are alpacas, goats, pigs and chickens. Huge site that is very well managed.
Disliked The only let down was the cleanliness of the toilets. This is hard on a busy site but if they could do a little bit better here would make the site amazing.
