Positiv: Loved the amount of activities on offer. My children did bushcraft session which they loved and gave us 90 mins peace. The soft play was great and it was handy having a small shop and bar. The place felt safe and the showers were actually hot which was great.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, thank you for your feedback. Being a family-friendly campsite we provide a safe space for children to run free and have fun. We apologise that this isn’t what you were looking for in a stay. Regarding the ‘smelly amenities’, our toilet and shower blocks are checked and cleaned regularly, however we will reinforce this with the staff and find the best possible solution to stay on top of this during the peak times in the summer holidays.

Positiv: Loved how peaceful, spacious, clean and safe the area and the surrounding facilities were. We camped for the first time ever.

Negativ: Some adults and children didn't respect the 10.30pm quiet rule and were laughing or running around at midnight. Not good if you want to get a good sleep

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, thank you so much for your review and these lovely photos, this really helps us out and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Having a clean, safe site is something imperative for us so we are thrilled that you enjoyed your first camping trip! We apologise about the level of noise on site, our 10:30pm quiet time is explained to all campers when booking their stay, as well as when checking in to the site. Our staff do a walk-around at night to make sure noise levels are low, however we understand that some of our customers do disobey these rules. Although this is infrequent, we will continue to explain these rules to customers who are noisy, increase our signage on site, and ensure we provide a peaceful environment, as intended. We hope this didn’t affect your stay and look forward to seeing you again at Fallow Fields.

Positiv: The tents and the kids area. Clean well equipped bathrooms

Negativ: The dogs barking.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, thank you for your review, we’re glad you enjoyed our amenities. Being a dog friendly site I’m afraid sometimes, dogs will bark. We hope it didn’t affect your stay and look forward to seeing you again.

Positiv: The site is a wonderful size, the playing fields and areas for children are great. The touches like family movie on a Saturday night, the pizzas and the cafe in the shop are brilliant.

The facilities are to a lovely standard and the showers are powerful and hot (if a little too warm sometimes which is unheard of camping).

Negativ: We booked as a group via pitch-up and despite following instructions on here we weren’t next to those we were going with. We weren’t too far away and it worked ok, but apparently you can pay to book a specific pitch via their direct website, which meant no pitches next to each other were available, despite booking months in advance.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it and are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Being a family-friendly site we love to hear that you took advantage of our activities and facilities.

Positiv: Lovely field and things for children such as soft play, swing ball, giant drafts and badminton. Plus bookable activities. A well stocked shop and some cooked food options. I was worried about not being able to park up next to pitch but you could drive up to unload and car park was really nearby so it wasn't a problem at all. Washing up station good. The views were lovely and near Port Lympne. Friendly helpful staff.

Negativ: Toilets and water tap in the field weren't operational so had to walk to the main block. Toilets and showers were OK but could have been a bit better maintained. It wouldn't put me off going but the children were scared to use them because of the spiders! Activities too expensive.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, thank you for your detailed review, feedback is extremely helpful to us. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and everything that we have to offer as well as the running’s of the site and picturesque location! We apologise that the two w/c’s in the field were out of action, leaving the remaining 6 w/c’s in the adjacent field. The mains water pressure drop (outside of our control) was the issue. We have since increased storage to prevent this in future. Our toilet and shower blocks are regularly checked and cleaned, and we are frequently praised for our diligence – however, there is always room for improvement and we will continue to be vigilant to ensure we offer clean facilities.

Through doing research we have found that our activity prices are very reasonable, our team work thoroughly to deliver the best, informative sessions to our customers at a fair price. We hope that this didn’t affect your stay and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Positiv: A lot of space, clean, friendly

Negativ: Not a lot to do for teenagers.
A free Wlan at the reception would be beneficial for foreigners.
