  • Hever Castle and National Trust - Chartwell both 10 minutes’ drive
  • Off-grid pitches within five minutes’ walk of a pub, shop and tearoom
Looking for a peaceful camping holiday in rural Kent? One where you can get back to basics and fend for yourselves? A warm welcome awaits you (and any well-behaved accompanying dogs) at River Field, an off-grid pop-up site on a family farm. There are no set pitches so you can set up wherever you want in the 20-acre field edging the River Eden, and there are simple loos in a converted horse box nearby. You have a wealth of public footpaths to explore in the surrounding countryside, and a mere five minutes’ stroll takes you to Chiddingstone, a pretty village with one of the oldest high streets in the country – it dates back to the 16th century – where you will find a pub, village shop and tea room. Alternatively you can hop in the car for a day of cultural sightseeing at stately mansions and Tudor palaces within 10 minutes’ drive. You’ll also never go short of urban days out, with Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Edenbridge all within an easy 20 minutes’ by car. Penshurst (10 minutes’ drive) has the nearest railway line, and the site owners are happy to shuttle campers to and from the station; there’s also a bus stop about 15 minutes’ walk away.
