Cooll Camping

Liked Toilets and shower were very clean, water hot. Space was lovely and owners were really friendly without being overbearing and even came round offering marshmallows for those with firepits. We were given a useful list of things nearby (most importantly, the pubs!)

Disliked Very close to main road, not much can be done but it did impact the stay.

Liked We came to Canterbury for a weekend of sightseeing and booked this because of the handy location (only a 20ish minute drive to the city centre).
We came from about 4 hours away and had a dreadful drive meaning we were going to be quite late. We called up ahead, a bit worried about missing the check in curfew, but the hosts were so friendly and understanding.
Once there, they welcomed us and were so accommodating. They gave us a printed handout with loads of handy tips of things in the area, including things that are within walking distance from the campsite.
They even told us that they do the rounds in the evening and hand out marshmallows for anyone with a fire going.

The facilities were clean, with hot water in the shower.
There were sinks for washing up. A basketball hoop for the kids to have a little play.

The only thing I would say is that there was a real mix of people on the campsite- from families to groups of friends. Some of the other groups were playing music and up quite late. It really didn't bother us in the slightest because it made us feel we could relax and didn't have to worry about whispering ourselves, but I just thought it would be worth a mention for anyone who's after a quiet campsite. It was a very lovely atmosphere, very vibrant and friendly.

Very highly recommend, and will definitely be staying here again if we happen to visit Canterbury in the future!

Liked The owners are very friendly and had saved us a pitch next door to our family's glamping tent. The field is flat and you can pitch where you like.

Disliked The pitch where you like is a two edged sword. It means that for instance a large group had commandeered a large space almost blocking the access to the toilets. They also decided that the communal firepit was theirs.
The toilet block is totally inadequate for the whole site. There are two toilets and one shower for about 100 people. Many people were complaining about the lack of facilities. There were two washing up sinks one was not working and the one that was working had no hot water.
The washing up sinks were in the open no cover if it were raining!
The shower floor was filthy without it even when it wasn't raining.
The glamping tents were very stylish but not very well kitted out. They had no proper cooking facilities no gas stove and a frying pan to use on the firepit.
They have to share the inadequate facilities with the whole campsite.

Liked Place, surrounding areas , sunset and sunrise

Disliked Toilet block was a little dark
