Fra bestyreren: There were 9 out of 30 electric pitches in use for your 1 night stay and decided to go in one of the non-electric fields for more space.
There is a fire ban due to the ground conditions and the only barbecues permitted are gas or disposable ones if raised off the ground, the reason for this is that they only last for 1 hour and are safer than someone burning lots of charcoal and adding wood which will produce large flames with a risk of sparks from wood igniting the ground causing a wildfire putting peoples lives at risk. We did have a stock of disposable barbecues for sale.

Syntes om Staff friendly, huge campsite complement of space. Right by the river for paddle boarding.

Syntes ikke om Although not the fault of the campsite the motorbikes zooming up and down the road near by are annoying but not bought to
Spoil visit.

Syntes om Was a nice site.
Lots
Of open space. Would have been beautiful had there been some rain recently.

Syntes ikke om Lots of cigarette butts on our pitch.
Gents toilets without hot water for a few days. At one point the second block was then locked as well.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay here and for leaving a review as even negative ones help us to improve your stay.
The dry weather has certainly made the grass look very sad in the whole of this area, we need lots of rain to improve the look of the site and to lift the ban on firepits and barbecues.
It is very annoying when people think it is ok to dispose of cigarette butts on the ground as these are classed as litter and during this dry period can cause a fire.
Apologies for the lack of hot water in one of the blocks I did put a notice on the door however there was miscommunication between the boiler repair man and cleaner and this was removed for a short while with the other block being locked until we were made aware of this.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Syntes om Everything was absolutely fine. I would just like to mention that it was difficult to find the entrance to the site; clearer and more visible signs are needed.
Beautiful nature, a river, and a wonderful time relaxing there. I recommend it 100%.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and sharing your photos.
The brown road signs on the approach(tourist and leisure) indicate the Hop Farm and there are signs on entry however google maps likes to take people towards Paddock Wood.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Syntes om We return to this campground again and again. We absolutely love it. There are several fields so it never feels crowded, you can spread out and not feel on top of the next pitch. You can pick blackberries and sloe berries as seasonal. There are trees around the edges for options to pitch in partial shade. There are beautiful trails to walk or bike ride alongside the river.

The toilets are always very clean and stocked. The showers are private and clean.

The site managers Sue and Ian are super helpful for anything you need help with. There's a small shop on site for basics and there's also a good sized Co-op tied to the petrol station just down the road for all of the things you may have forgotten or need to restock on. Every other weekend in summer there's a boot fair walking distance from your pitch, but not loud or disruptive.

Best of all, the river runs through the campsite and there are multiple spots with rope swings over the water for the kids to safely play. You can bring your kayaks or paddle boards with easy access with steps too.

It's simply a fantastic site, for tents or caravans, that pleases everyone. Our kids range in age from 5-19 and they all love this site.

Syntes ikke om There aren't a lot of electric pitches, it could do with more but I think this is in the works.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you enjoyed yourselves.
There is now blue/green algae in the river which can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea and potentially life threatening to dogs, therefore we are advising not to go in the river until there is a substantial amount of rain to clear it.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Syntes om One of the best place in the area to spend a quality time with your family.
Thanks Hop Farm!

Syntes om Location

Syntes ikke om Lack of shop/Cafe,

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: The shop only sells items such as teabags, coffee, ice-creams a few toiletries etc fresh items if not sold would have to be binned therefore we no longer stock these items.
There are local takeaways that deliver to the touring barrier and the Brewers Fayre is within walking distance however these are all being sold. A Chinese restaurant located next to the exit barrier will be opening soon.
Perhaps you will visit again to enjoy the country and river walks with your dogs.
