Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked: Nice setting; short walk along the river to the Castle and Castle Inn; good cafe (coffee v welcome); level pitches
Disliked: Water in the showers/washing up area not overly hot. 2 showers for the whole site may not be enough if it was a busy weekend. Service in the coffee shop could be more cheerful.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked: Loved the location. It was an easy walk to Bodiam castle and the river runs right past the site. The staff on site were lovely and always happy to help with my questions. The site felt very tranquil and remote. My kids loved the playground
Disliked: It would have been great if the shop sold basic foods such as bread and milk. (The cake was amazing though)

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked: Expectations we exceeded and had an amazing weekend. Welcomed with a very friendly camp manager who had carefully selected our sites based on ages of our children. Our neighbours had kids exactly the same ages and the kids played all weekend. The shower was great. The 'Hub' or main area was perfect with great seating arrangements near with outdoor play area. Drinks sold were of good quality - coffee and alcohol. Gift shop had brilliant stuff for sale. Highly recommended pizza and cocktail night on a friday! Highly recommended taking advantage of the on site water activities - including a mega SUP (paddleboard for 8ppl). We never got a chance to take steam train, but did have a visit to nearby Bodium Castle. 2 pubs near by too. And local Londis for essentials.

Liked: We stayed for three nights. The pitch and all facilities were level, quiet and clean. There was plenty of space for children to play safely Or go paddle boarding. All other campers there and the site staff were friendly. There is a pub only 10 minutes walk away next to Bodiam Castle. Also, the site has its own Cafe/shop with great breakfasts and lunches, and on Friday nights it’s pizza and cocktail hour! There are plenty of things to visitor attractions to see nearby, Bewl Water, Kent and East Sussex railway, Bodiam Castle, Rye, Hastings, Tenterden, Battle and beaches at Rye or Camber sands. We only live half an hour away, but it was great all the same! Thank you very much !

Liked: Nice pitches well away from any roads so it really felt like we were in the middle of nature. Good little walk along the river to Bodiam. Friendly staff and everywhere was clean and tidy. Nice to have a cafe/bar and play area on site and plenty of green space for children to run around.
Disliked: Toilets/showers were quite far away from our pitch. Cafe/bar prices were quite high.
