Liked I stayed in the camping pitches with caravan powered by battery, its was great, my daughter was constantly playing with other kids, the site is very well maintained, lacks any showers tho but it’s fairly obvious the site hasn’t being there for a long time but the owners are very nice and doing there best, In time im sure upgrades will be added.

but overall this site is one of my favorite iv being to, they encourage fire pits, that’s what campings really about, great atmosphere, there’s a park that I didn’t know was there, they lock the large gates so kids are safe to free Rome safely, there’s a shop just around the corner, there’s many beautiful old trees, river, bunker, park, fresh water, clean main toilets,

I’m definitely coming back with other parents and kids in the future, I liked this place a lot!

Good luck to the owners they are doing great and you can sense the enthusiasm 🙌🏻

Liked Stayed here due to its position on the river as we wanted to launch our Kayak. Lively large spacious site, easy going, and able to choose your own spot. Lots of trees and of course access to the river. No showers which we were fine with as we only stayed 2 nights. Toilet block was regularly cleaned. Will definitely return

Disliked There was nothing to dislike

Liked Really lovely campsite right on the edge of the River Medway. There were lots of people enjoying the river swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing and generally making the most of the beautiful weather. We stayed during a 30°C heatwave, but the site is surrounded by trees with a large clump of trees in the middle of the field where we set up, so we were able to stay nicely shaded. There was also a lovely shaded playground tucked amongst the trees, which was perfect for the kids.

The site itself was clean and well maintained, with freshly mowed grass. There were portaloos dotted around the campsite as well as a toilet block near the entrance, which we found clean throughout our stay. There are also water taps in a couple of places around the site. There are no showers or electric hook-ups, but we knew that when booking so it wasn’t an issue for us.

The only slight downside was that the bins were overflowing at one point during the busy bank holiday weekend, although they were emptied very early on the Monday morning. If you’re staying here, I’d probably avoid pitching too close to the entrance if you don’t want an early wake-up call on Monday morning!

We really enjoyed our weekend here. We walked to The Boathouse, which is only about a 5-minute walk away, and had a lovely lunch overlooking the weir. There’s also a canoe hire place opposite the restaurant, which looked really popular.

Disliked I do think the price is slightly on the expensive side considering there are no showers or electric hook-ups, but having said that, many campsites seem to be charging similar prices now. Overall, we absolutely loved the site and will definitely be booking again.

Liked Great relaxed site, stuff for the kids, location by the river amazing. Best value site we've been to for a while as camping seems to be getting more and more expensive.
You can dip in the river if you want

Disliked No dislikes as we read the listing - but for the people that don't read, there are no showers, no EHU and no hot water, you need to be a little self sufficient!

Liked It was our 3rd time here since 2024.
We really like the spot, the access to the river and there are nice walks to do around too. On this occasion (bank holiday weekend) it was much much busier than what we experienced before but it was well run and Don and Clare’s presence through the weekend made it welcoming and family friendly. We stayed on the field for the first time as we normally have riverside pitches and it was just as pleasant honestly. We’ll be back!

Disliked No major dislike but there’s some room for improvement: the access to the river is really not that easy as steep and very slippery, especially with kids or with a paddle board. Maybe the bank could be made a little more accessible.

The toilets are ok and checked often but, the water pressure being low most of the time, they don’t flush well at all which can make the trips to the loos less pleasant. Especially the smaller ones on the field where there’s no light at night.

As mentioned in other reviews, at this price, it would be good to have showers as they definitely lack on longer (and hot!) weekends. Especially after a swim in the river!

Liked Great setting next to the river with very clean facilities. The copse in the middle was great for the kids and welcome shade on a very hot weekend. There were loads of family groups there but we had no problems with noise during the night.
