  • Peaceful farm site on the edge of 2,000 acres of ancient woodland
  • A mile and a half from Honey Hill and two miles from Blean
  • Direct access to Blean Woods National Nature Reserve
Come and pitch up at Brook Farm Glamping and Camping for days full of strolling, den building and bike riding in Blean Woods, a 2,000-acre national nature reserve that backs directly onto the farm. This small-scale site is an eco-friendly place, with innovative solutions like solar-powered lighting and a composting toilet, plus upcycled washing machines that have been given a second life as barbecues and firepits. There are also cute animals here that the kids can meet, including rabbits, sheep, goats and miniature chickens. There's a good range of facilities on offer here, with well-maintained showers, toilets and a washing-up area. A selection of local produce is also available on site, or for a wider variety of food and drinks you could head to the nearest pub in Honey Hill (five minutes' drive) or to the village stores in Blean (five minutes). Holidays here will probably involve frequent trips to the beach, as Brook Farm Glamping and Camping is 15 minutes from Whitstable and half an hour from Margate by road. There are also inland attractions to explore, including the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes) and the historic cathedral city of Canterbury (15 minutes). As long as they're OK with all the other animals that call this place home and are kept on leads, dogs are very welcome to join you at Brook Farm Glamping and Camping.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Payed for hard standing but only grass available poor signage to site got stuck and had to be towed out after an hour trying to locate help facilities very basic and over priced

From the manager: Hi, thank you so much for staying with us! Id love to address the issues you’ve stated-unfortunately you chose to stay during one of the wettest bank holidays we’ve had, this lead to people who would’ve been on our grass electric pitches having to go on hardstanding. Our 5 showers and 10 toilets are new this year and with high water pressure and lovely hot water i would love to know more about the ‘basic’ description. Lastly, following a rude order to tow you out, I was as accommodating as possible and towed you out as quick as I could! The rental campervan you hired was a 3.5 tonne so extremely heavy! I’m afraid it doesn’t seem like camping is for you-but thanks for staying!

Local attractions

Build a den, follow a trail or fly a kite in the Kent Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that can be reached in about 10 minutes by road. Next, explore the more carefully managed landscapes on show at Belmont House and Gardens (20 minutes' drive), or prep a picnic for lunch on the beach at Whitstable (15 minutes). A little bit further up the coast, Margate (30 minutes) has art galleries, independent shops and fab contemporary restaurants to explore, while Broadstairs (35 minutes), one of Charles Dickens' favourite haunts, has old-world appeal with its cliffs, Victorian buildings and three separate bays. Away from the coast, Leeds Castle (25 minutes) has an impressive moat, fortress and well-maintained grounds to visit, while Dover Castle (30 minutes) has centuries of maritime history plus tunnels in the cliff face to explore. For more things to see and do, you'll be sorted in Canterbury (15 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site city where top tourist sites include Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and the Canterbury Tales attraction, an interactive exhibit that brings Chaucer's stories to life.
