What customers say

Great for families! Spacious, clean facilities with hot showers & heaps of play areas. Staff are friendly, lots of kids' activities (soft play, archery) and handy on-site shop/pizzeria. Peaceful overall, though some found noise and firewood pricey. Still a top pick for a fun, safe family break.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Well organised, good hot showers and toilet facilities. Nice to have a bar/ pizza/shop on site

Disliked Strong smell of manure on neighbouring fields. Location of toilets and dish washing means a long walk from the top of the campsite where we were pitched, these should be better situated.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Highly recommend this campsite, run wonderfully by a lovely couple. We spent 4 rather wet days and nights here in July and, as what I'd call 'not natural' campers, we had a good time. The owners have thought of everything: decent coffee, a well-stocked shop, pizza oven pizza, soft play, fire pits, and booze. On wet days and evenings, kids can enjoy soft play, tie dye t-shirt making, or film nights, and adults can hide in the cafe/bar, open until a reasonable 8pm (8.30pm on weekends). And when dry, there's no real need to leave the site, and if you do you can cycle to nearby spots with ease.

The site is well-maintained, spacious, and quiet. We were fortunate to arrive on a week when they were only at 30% capacity, and our pitch was at the far end of the site, so very peaceful. It does fill up though, so I'd imagine it's a different vibe when full. That said, having chatted to the owners, it sounds like they just work ten times harder when it's full, rather than letting things slide!

Disliked The rain!

Liked The site was clean and well run, the washing and toilet facilities were really clean and well maintained. Lots of activities for children, definitely more aimed at families. We did the archery, which was good fun and the archery instructor was a good bloke and well organised. Dymchurch and Hythe beaches close by.

Disliked The cost of the wood you have to purchase, l felt was rather expensive.

Liked 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.

From the manager: 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.

Local attractions

Plumes of steam are often visible from Fallow Fields - Lathe Barn, as trains from the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway trundle their way along just a short distance away. If you fancy riding the rails, the nearest station is in Dymchurch (five minutes' drive), where there is also a sandy beach and visitor centre with plenty to see and do. Alternatively, you could head out on a safari at Port Lympne Reserve‍ (10 minutes), a popular breeding sanctuary that's home to rare and endangered animals such as tigers, rhinos, zebras, gorillas and bears. If extinct animals are more your (or your kids') jam, there's also a dinosaur forest where you can stomp through the trees in search of T-Rex and pterodactyls. Heading slightly further afield, you could explore the seaside towns of Folkestone (25 minutes), a treasure trove of vintage clothes, fab furniture finds and tasty street food. Alternatively, there's the old fishing village of Dungeness (25 minutes) with its vast shingle beach and the far-off shadow of its power station. Wherever you end up exploring, don't forget the pretty town of Hythe (10 minutes) with its well-preserved medieval and Georgian buildings.
