The Hop Farm

Positiv Enjoyed a lovely few days away camping with our 2 dogs. Huge site with plenty of space and room away from others if not having electric hook up. The more remote the pitch, the further away from the facilities but worth the trade off for the peace and privacy and only a couple of minutes drive to showers (which were hot and clean and no queuing!). Given a map on arrival and no issues during our stay- we def hope to return as it was great value for money and beautiful surroundings.

Vom Platzbetreiber: There is a local shop 20 minutes walk or 2 minute drive, paddock Wood is less than 3 miles away and for a supermarket like Asda it is about a 15 to 20 minute drive.
When you look to book on Pitch-up we do not advertise as having any entertainment or play park, there are country and river walks from the campsite and the emphasis is on being outdoors enjoying each other’s company.
There are takeaways and restaurants in the area that deliver to the touring barrier, menus on display in the reception/shop.

Positiv Freedom to pitch up wherever you want to.
Location for easy access to river.
Lovely and clean
Fab walks
We stayed on the non electric pitches

Negativ The site needs more toilets and definitely more water points. To have a site that big with only one block of toilets and showers and one water point is really not good

We look forward to your next visit.

Positiv Large open spaces so you can pitch up away from groups. We stayed in the second field with no hook up so away from the loo block and it was very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of space to get away from everyone else. The electric hook up area was busy.

Also the direct access to the river to allow for paddleboarding was excellent.
Toilets & showers were clean - we initially felt it a little odd that there was security locks with access codes but it wasn’t a problem and probably stopped a lot of messing around.
The lady who checked around the site each day was super nice and friendly.

Negativ The man at check in didn’t ooze friendliness and welcoming vibes which was a bit disconcerting but it was the evening and he was probably fed up with staying open later!
The lady on the quad bike made up for it!

Tim was the only one checking in over 100 pitches the day you arrived and has a lot to explain especially with the fire ban, he stays in the office until 9pm which is not an issue for him however he is not a talkative person even to his own family but is working on it.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Positiv Good access to the river

Positiv Friendly site

Negativ Showers were awful, very small, unable to put clothes in a dry space, no seat/shelf, just a hook on the door which was hanging off. One block of toilet/showers for all fields. No bins for dog waste and so lots of dog waste on fields. Nowhere to empty water waste. Given wrong information of pitch, had to agree with another guest which pitch we would both use.

Vom Platzbetreiber: In the larger toilet/shower block there is 1 hook on the inside of the showers for towels (shampoo etc.. would have to be placed on the floor as shelves would reduce the amount of space in them) and 1 hook on the outside to hang clothes or a bag on. The smaller shower block has space inside the cubicle for changing and hanging clothes on. There is a seat in the disabled shower for limited mobility guests.
There are about 10 dog waste bins around the site which get emptied frequently.
The chemical and grey waste is in a separate building with lots of signage right next to the showers and toilets.
You were given C4 (C4 & C5 share the same water tap and is clearly marked on the pitch) your pitch number was written on the front of your check-in card and a map of C field highlighting your pitch and shown where the bridge to the showers and toilets are (in-between pitches C7 & C8). C5 was occupied by regular guests who have used this pitch several times.

Positiv First time camping in a long time, the site was perfect, everyone was helpful and respectful of each other...
