By the River Medway in Yalding, with river access for watersports
A 25-minute drive to Leeds Castle; half an hour to Sissinghurst
Pub, railway station and canoe hire within a five-minute walk

If your kind of retreat is one where you’re free to wade in the river, paddle downstream and spend evenings in a waterside pub, Riverview Camping and Caravans might be what you’ve been searching for. This peaceful site is right next to the River Medway, in the Kent village of Yalding… Naturally, that makes it a particularly fine spot for those aiming to launch their watersports kit while on a rural break, as it’s in the middle of the River Medway Canoe Trail from Tonbridge to Allington. There’s direct access to the river from the site, with a couple of slipways and a canoe hire place within a few minutes’ walk as well. The riverside setting is also a good one for those looking to settle down somewhere peaceful and pretty – but that’s not all this location has going for it. It’s also handily less than five minutes’ walk from the railway station, a coffee shop with a play area, and a lovely riverside pub/restaurant. Stroll for a little further (all of about 10 minutes) to get to the village centre for more pubs, takeaways, a tearoom, a bakery and the village shop. It’s all mighty convenient for those travelling without a car. Back at the site, basic amenities are in place – guests will have access to toilets and a washing-up area, but there’s no hot water available. Those hoping to spend the evening stoking a fire are in luck, as both campfires and barbecues are permitted on site.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: This was the second time me and my better half has stayed here, its just so chilled and relaxed. The owners are really nice and helpful. It's a locked enclosure so there's great security and although we were the only ones there we also had the company of two very friendly sheep ! There's a nice pub 5 mins by foot and access to to lovely Riverside walks. Will definitely be back

Disliked: I know its cheesy but the dislike is we had to go so soon.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: This basic campsite is great if you want a simple camping experience. It has toilets, running (cold) water, fire pits and plenty of space to pitch and run around in. It even has a children's play area. This was ideal for me and another parent taking our children for a camping trip. The people who run it are very friendly. It's also less than 5 minutes walk from Yalding station which makes it ideal if travelling without a car, or for getting the train back after a long walk north along the River Medway.

Disliked: Didn't dislike anything but if you wanted more than basics (hot water, showers), you'll be disappointed. However, the campsite has only been going a few years and they are already building new toilets and planning to add showers, so maybe next summer they will have those.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The location beside the river is beautiful, so nice to be able to access it from the site as well for paddleboarding. The firepits that are dotted around the site are a lovely touch and made our weekend. Clare was really lovely and we were able to get firewood from her which was great. There's onsite sheep who are really cute and our dog enjoyed saying hello to them. The facilities are basic but we expected that and we had our motorhome so wasn't a problem at all. Just a really lovely site, in a great location and we will definitely be back.

Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass and earth pitch (riverside)

Liked: Great pitch right by the river. Lovely and peaceful with the occasional boat, paddle boarder or swan floating by. Great, clean toilet facilities. Nice setup with the fire pits. I was on my own this time but I would definitely visit with my children - a nice play area and friendly sheep roaming around. Nice pub a short walk away and a bunch of excellent dog-friendly hikes very close.

Local attractions

Pay a visit to the biggest collection of teapots in England. If such a thing wasn’t on your travel wishlist previously, it will be now – after all Teapot Island is only five minutes’ walk away. Also close by is The Hop Farm (five minutes’ drive), likely to be a hit with young kids due to its small farm animals and soft play. Adults will be happy to find things catering to their taste too. Fishing activities are available at Claygate Lakes (10 minutes) and at Mereworth Wines (10 minutes), taste test local wines and potions in the winery and taproom. If it’s the historical sort of stuff you’re mostly interested in, Leeds Castle (25 minutes) and Scotney Castle (25 minutes) will get that in full swing. Straight out of the 17th century, Knole Park (half an hour) is a National Trust site with a deer park, gatehouse tower and attics. Sissinghurst Castle Garden (half an hour) is another historical spot, with a Grade I-listed park and gardens. As for peaceful walks by the river and picnics in meadows, head to Teston Bridge Country Park (10 minutes).
