Dog-friendly farm site in Romney Marsh run by a friendly family
Cycling and walking paths nearby; a 15-minute drive to Dungeness
Café next door and a traditional pub five minutes’ walk away

Kicking back peacefully in Kent will be the only task at hand at dog-friendly Jessamine Farm, unless you want to count roaming around Romney Marsh by bicycle or visiting a lighthouse or lush beach on the coast. Folks have been cantering to Jessamine Farm for over 40 years - since 1978 - so thousands before you have also gone on to track down the easily accessible local National Cycle Routes (including the numbers two and 11) and walking trails. Just like you might, they’ve probably also plopped down on a lush grassy spot in the orchard to take in the starry skies on a clear night. This family-run site is peaceful indeed, and it has a lot of character: Puff the horse may spy on you from afar and you may also spot the family’s dog Omen (also known as chief rabbit chaser and sock thief). The meadow has a wildlife pond, and on the note of wildlife, bird chorus will also serve as a ‘good morning’ from the feathered kind. When you’re feeling peckish, either rustle up something edible on a campfire or head out to one of several local spots. Next door, there’s a typical British café serving fry-ups. New Romney, five minutes’ drive away, has a supermarket, and popular restaurants including an Italian and a Mediterranean restaurant. A traditional pub is also five minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

This is a friendly, family-run site with spacious, level pitches and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the spotless toilet and shower facilities and the helpful, welcoming staff. The location is ideal for exploring local attractions and beaches. Minor points raised include occasional traffic noise and limited washing-up facilities, though plans for improvements have been noted. Fire pits and logs are available for hire.

Electric touring pitch

Liked What a lovely place! Came for a spur-of-the-moment overnight getaway and day out in Kent. The campsite had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the hostess was welcoming and extremely helpful.
The taps at each pitch were a great idea. Very useful. The toilets were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. The showers were warm and clean with plentiful floor mats to stop the floors becoming too wet in the drying area. We never had to queue for either toilet or shower. The washing up space was very well organised. After dark, the whole farm was quiet and peaceful with little to no light pollution meaning that the moon and stars were quite the spectacle. Really enjoyed being there. Felt that, particularly as electricity was included in the price, it was good value for money too.

Disliked The fact that we couldn’t stay longer!!! Would’ve loved a few more nights on site and extra time to explore the surrounding area.

The showers could use a little shelf for soap / shower gel / shampoo.

A hair drier in the shower block would’ve been handy.

Liked Stayed July 2026. Lovely place. Toilet and shower facilities excellent even though it was unisex. Bus stop over the road from site so easy to get to Lydd, New Romney and Dymchurch. Had a field along side for tent camping nice area with pond in middle. Also little cafe on site for tea, coffee and cake.

Local attractions

Working your way outwards is a good plan of action, and beginning that tactical exploration will no doubt be a visit to the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum (five minutes’ drive), where there’s a wartime equipment collection, aircraft crash site remains and other wartime artefacts. A different chapter of history is on-hand (and interactive) at Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (five minutes), a heritage railway which will take you Dungeness the old-fashioned way. Once in Dungeness (15 minutes), there’s a fair few next courses of action… climbing to the very top of the Old Lighthouse, a Grade II-listed building which saved many ships in the 20th century, perhaps? Keeping your eyes peeled for rare birds (booming bitterns and wheatears, even) in the RSPB nature reserve? Port Lympne Safari Park (25 minutes) has a good-sized selection of bigger animals; the acres-wide drive-in savannah features lions, tigers and wolves.
