What customers say

Sandwich Lakes is a ripper spot, dead peaceful with heaps of space on the campsites. Showers and toilets are spick and span, and the cafe's food and service get a massive thumbs up. Fishing's a ripper too, with lakes loaded with fish. They're doing it up, so there's a bit of mud now and then and the Wi-Fi's a bit dodgy, but most punters reckon it's grouse and are already planning their next trip.

Liked Cafe on site.

Disliked The road in was VERY narrow.
Hard standing pitches and roadway were very rough and ready.
The facilities were disgusting
Shower walls were filthy with old cobwebs everywhere
Hooks and hand dryer were rusty
Massive toilet roll holders not longer used but not removed just loo rolls on the toilet cistern.
The toilet emptying point absolutely stunk, the hinges were broken so lid just came off and it hadn’t been cleaned for months it looked like.

Liked Very friendly and helpful staff, toilet and shower facilities kept immaculately clean throughout the day, easy to find and well located to explore the area. The fishing lakes are very well maintained and provided some great fishing for an introductory session for a 12 year old!

Liked I like the new lay out of the site with the hard standings and the water and electric hook up are close by. The site has a happy atmosphere and every one seems happy. The wild life love this site with the lakes filled with ducks with there young and swans in the Meadow lake. Plus very good swims for fishing with large Carp and other species.

Disliked none

Liked The site is mostly as remembered but with a few additions, mainly the animals and the children's play area. Not having any children with us we did not take advantage of this but we can see the benefit of the attraction.

Liked Good size pitch. Secure site. Friendly helpful staff. Nice to have the shop and cafe on site (although we didn't use it in the end). Toilets and showers were clean and tidy. We booked as a last minute get away and this site was great.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Location for visiting family away from the busy towns. Nice views. Not expensive. Enough room for awning and van.

Disliked The cafe was limited for choice on food and opening hours were not the same as serving hours which was an issue with having an autistic person with us. Long waits just for coffees.

Local attractions

You're never too far from the coast in Kent, and a 10-minute trip takes you to the Sandwich and Pegwell Bay National Nature Reserve for walking trails and wildlife spotting. Ramsgate (15 minutes' drive) has a rich amount to offer, with a sandy beach, seal spotting and fishing trips from the harbour, and a maritime museum. If you're hankering after some more history, Richborough (five minutes) has a well-preserved Roman fort and amphitheatre. A minute from the site, meanwhile, the White Mill Rural Heritage Centre is far more than a striking building to photograph; the exhibits and outhouses of this preserved 19th-century smock mill record a whole vanished way of Kentish country life. For cobbled lanes and cathedral tours, Canterbury is 20 minutes away. After that, connect with your wild side at Howletts Wild Animal Park (20 minutes), a conservation project rather than a zoo which houses and protects the future of 400 species, many of them endangered. After hanging with the elephant herds and greeting the baby rhinos, Dreamland Margate (also 20 minutes) makes you feel like you've stepped into another universe, with traditional fairground rides and amusements bringing the former days of seaside entertainment back to life with a whoop.
