St andrews lakes, halling, kent. (added by manager 01 oct 2023)

Kayaks, paddleboards, pedalos and bell boats to rent (added by manager 19 sep 2023)

Kent's largest inflatable aqua park (added by manager 19 sep 2023)

Lakeside Kent motorhome pitches five minutes’ drive from Halling
Rochester 20 minutes’ drive, and Leeds Castle 25 minutes
Watersports hub in a former chalk quarry; café and takeaway on site

Looking for loads of family fun and sporty activities? You’ve struck gold with St Andrews Lakes, tucked away in the Kent countryside 45 minutes’ drive from central London and five minutes from the village of Halling. Here hardstanding motorhome pitches overlook a freshwater lake in a former quarry that’s been painstakingly transformed into a watersports hub (opening times vary depending upon the season and day of the week). There’s loads going on for all ages here, from open-water swimming to paddleboard and pedalo rental or dinghy sailing. For an extra cost, have a runaround on the lake's inflatable aqua park (closed between October and April). Then, when it’s time to rest up, you can retreat to the spa and wellness centre. There’s a beach too, if you’d prefer to find somewhere to snooze on the sand instead of playing around in the water all day. Everything has been thought of to make your stay as easy as possible: there’s a watersports shop (rental is available too) on site, as well as an ‘inflation station’ to take the hard work out of pumping up your paddleboard. No need to worry about catering for your sports-mad kin either, as there’s a beach café serving drinks and homemade snacks, as well as a takeaway pizza service to keep you refuelled for your next sporting activity. And the pitches are pretty handy too: each has an electric hook-up as well as a picnic bench and chiminea for alfresco dining.

Hedge Row fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Fantastic position right next to the lake. Clean facilities.

Disliked: Not able to swim in the lake, had to book a £30 induction session and then book a swimming session for £9. Really not worth it for a one off swim. No mention of this on the website

Lake View fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Excellent site with plenty of activities, clean facilities nice view from the pitch we reserved. Nice beach area.

Disliked: No picnics or food allowed on site except bought from site. Yet lack of allergy prepared food. Overall very expensive for family's. We came down to join our family for a birthday over £2,000 spent between us. I would stay again via Camper but not in one of the lake lodges, as beautiful as it is very over priced.

Liked: Views and the clear rules for pitching up.

Disliked: 1 child with another customer clearly not valuing the site. For example messing around with your fire pit and standing on pots holding your pitch boundaries. Not nice to watch

Lake View fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Very friendly helpful staff. Very peaceful, although there was only 3 pitches occupied for most of our stay. The toilet, shower and kitchen was very clean. Easy access to Rochester via a bus or train, both within walking distance from the campsite. Good security arrangements Water, hook-up, table and fire pit on each pitch. It was fun watching people access the lake facilities. Good views.

Disliked: Only 1 shower for 10 pitches. This was not a problem this time as the site was not full The Wi-Fi was via satellite, a weak signal, no streaming.

Local attractions

If you can drag everybody away from the lake, there’s lots of heritage stuff to see in this corner of Kent. Historic Rochester (20 minutes’ drive) has a stately Norman castle and a Gothic-era cathedral to explore, while neighbouring Chatham (half an hour) showcases centuries of naval history at Chatham Historic Dockyard, where you can tour the World War II destroyer HMS Cavalier and the Cold War-era submarine HMS Ocelot. The spectacular moated Leeds Castle (25 minutes) has enough craft workshops, museums, events and sculpture trails to keep the family busy all day. However, should the siren call of culture start to wane with the kids, take them to Diggerland Kent (10 minutes) for some time moving earthworks and shifting soil around on JCBs. No need to panic if it rains either, as you can divert to the bowling lanes at Hollywood Bowl Rochester (10 minutes). If you’d care to wander further afield, London sights like Greenwich Palace, The Prime Meridian and the National Maritime Museum can be reached in less than an hour’s drive.
