Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (wild, woodland)
Liked: the owners were super helpful, even with our late night arrival. The facilities were plenty and well kept. The campsite was quiet because it was in the winter, but I imagine it would be comfortable even in a busier summer season.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (wild, woodland)
Liked: Fantastic stay on this super chilled small site. Matt, the owner is very friendly and really helpful. Lots of nice walks in the Kent countryside, easy walks to a few nearby pubs. Dog friendly site, fire pits, small shop on site. The closest you can get to wild camping while being on an established site (with showers). Puddleduck Woods is excellent.
Disliked: Nothing at all.
