The Hop Farm

Positiv Durchschnittlicher Campsite mit Stellflächen auf großen Wissen.
Für ein -zwei Uebernachtungen okay. Für Erkundungen in der Gegend und für einen Zwischenstop für den Eurotunnel auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

Negativ Toiletten und Duschen waren nicht sonderlich sauber.
Preis nicht angemessen, für den Standard zu teuer

Positiv It’s great that you can camp up anywhere within the fields

It was quiet after 10pm

You are left alone to do as you please.

Negativ The camping fields are huge, however you have to be mindful that there are sporadic taps for water and all the bins are by the entrance
.
The toilet and shower block is also here so beware it’s a long walk if you choose a pitch further away and don’t have your own loo.
Waste disposal is also here.

The site feels unmonitored, vehicles drive around at high speed and three times we saw children riding around on top of van roofs, hanging onto the back of vehicles on their bikes and motorbikes zooming around the fields.

Two additional fields have bins, the rest are by the washing-up sinks. I have asked management if bins can be put in a couple of other fields on a Saturday morning during peak season.
I was out on-site quite a bit during the day Friday and Saturday dealing with guests who had no respect for either the campsite or other guests staying, this can be shown by the bad reviews submitted by the ones who had been asked several times to adhere to the campsite rules and to be considerate of everyone staying. We also do a patrol of the site at 10pm.
Hopefully your can visit during a quieter time as the campsite is very different then.

Positiv Nice and clean toilets and showers, acres of camping space, lovely and helpful people at reception.

Negativ slippery access to the river, would be nice to have a decent pontoon on each of the fields if possible. long long walk to the WC block

Apologies if we forgot to point out Oak Weir which is perfect for getting in and out of the river.
Depending on where you are pitching the facilities can be a long walk.
We look forward to your next visit.

Positiv Ample amount of space

Negativ Lack of hot water to wash the dishes. There is only one point to obtain water and there was no hot water at 9pm to shower. The showers were also quite dirty at 9/10pm

Friendly staff

We were not notified of there being no hot water or this would have been rectified.
The last clean of the facilities is at 6pm and the first clean is at 5am. We do ask guests to tidy up after themselves, it would appear not everyone does this.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Positiv Excellent stay as always

Positiv Lots of places to pitch up. Good toilet and shower facilities.

Negativ Lots of mosquitoes so bring something to help. We were bitten a lot.
Shower blocks good do need to be cleaned more regularly.
Would be good to have a larger shop on site

Mosquitoes are very annoying at this time of year and even sprays tend not to be of much help.
We do ask guests to help by tidying up after themselves, unfortunately not everyone does this therefore in-between cleaning they will become dirty.
Perhaps in the future the owners will look at a larger shop on-site.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Unfortunately the animal farm and park closed permanently in March 2023, it is good you did not look for it or you would have been disappointed.
We look forward to your next visit.
