  • Quiet site at a Weald of Kent pub on the outskirts of Yalding village
  • Leeds Castle and Sissinghurst Castle Garden both 25 minutes’ drive
  • Two-acre site behind a 16th-century inn known for its good local food
Camping in Kent is always a good idea – what with lots of scenic walking and historic houses to visit – but it’s an even better idea when your site is in the grounds of a historic country pub known for its fresh local food and Kentish ales. If that sounds like something you could enjoy, then 16th-century The Woolpack Inn in the forested Weald of Kent is the place for you. The grass pitches are set in two acres of rural Kent countryside on the outskirts of the village of Yalding, which sits prettily on the banks of the River Beult. Practical facilities at the site include use of the pub toilets, an emptying point and drinking water, as well as electric car charging and USB points. Food at The Woolpack offers a taste of the good life, with many of the delicious and hearty dishes served there created with locally sourced produce. There’s a collection of pub classics on the menu, plus a variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options – and on Sundays, of course, there’s the all-important traditional roast. Takeaway options are available too.

What customers say

This is a peaceful and spacious campsite, praised for its privacy and level pitches. Visitors consistently highlight the friendly and welcoming staff and owners, as well as the excellent food and atmosphere at the adjoining Woolpack Inn. Facilities are generally clean and sufficient, though some note a lack of showers. The idyllic setting is ideal for exploring Kent, and many guests express their intention to return. The approach road is noted as very narrow.
