Lovely little fishing lake and seeing paddle boards going by..

Lovely surprise seeing the resident sheep!

It’s not camping without a campfire and marshmallows to toast!

A lovely site. Simple but perfect. Clean facilities. Welcoming owners.

Jo C. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great spacious flat pitch, friendly site managers, great location for river activities, good amount of available loos. Was worried when a large group of guys turned up but they were well behaved and family vibe of site probably kept them that way.

Disliked: No showers although this was made really clear in listing and we were only staying two nights so didn’t bother us. Didn’t know about the check in window times until the day before which would have been good to have more clearly when booking as it made the morning journey there a little pressured.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Really nice clean site, nice and quiet and Clare the owner was so so helpful. She even drives around the site selling firewood so you can have campfires every evening. Nice access to the river, we even hired canoes within 5 minutes walk and had a great time. Will definitely be back in the future.

Disliked: Nothing.

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).
