  • Spacious farm site on the Kent and East Sussex border
  • Half an hour’s drive from Camber Sands
  • Campfires, café-bar, pick-your-own pitches and adventure playground
Pitch up at Park Farm Caravan and Camping for pitchside campfires galore plus piles of spectacular wide open space around which to cycle, fly kites and let the kids (and dogs) run wild. Set on a farm in a peaceful rural spot on the border between Kent and East Sussex, this site is bordered by a little river and surrounded by miles upon miles of handsome countryside; for days out off site, the swell little seaside resort of Camber Sands is a handy half an hour’s drive away, and attractions like the Kent and Sussex Railway, Bodiam Castle and Bedgebury Pinetum are within a short drive too. Back at base, there’s heaps of stuff to keep guests of all ages amply amused all day long, like free fishing into the neighbouring river direct from the site. For kids there’s a partially fenced adventure playground with a trim trail, a play fort and a big slide for small folk to let off steam at. For rainy day, the open-sided barn is furnished with more fun-based bits, like a seesaw and other kit and games. When peckish or thirsty head over to the site's café and bar – The Camp Stove Kitchen – for delicious food and drinks (perhaps even a cheeky cocktail…). Otherwise, head to the neighbouring pub for a feed or an afternoon pint of guest ale. After a feed, it’s a splendid idea to have an amble around the farm to – the site owners actively maintain natural habitats to keep local wildlife happy, so while out and walking around one might well catch sight of some native critters too, from deer, barn owls and lots of other bird species to plenty of butterflies and insects.

What customers say

A spacious, family-friendly park with a chill vibe. Praised for clean washrooms, helpful staff, and a great kids' play area. Good spot for local walks and shops. Some mention distance to amenities and noise from big groups. WiFi's spotty.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Had a great stay at Park Farm Camping! The showers were clean and powerful – some of the best we’ve had while camping. Facilities overall were excellent and well-maintained. The on-site bar was a nice bonus! Would definitely recommend and return!

Powered grass campsite

Liked Most campsites don’t allow camp fires so my children really enjoyed being able to have a fire each night. Very helpful that the log man drives round each day selling you bags of logs.
Nice play area for children and bar for adults
In a pretty part of Kent close to some lovely days out

Disliked Things went really downhill at the weekend. Our lovely quiet spot turned into Glastonbury with campers rocking up everywhere. So many large groups with lots of heavy drinking.
Unfortunately the campers behind us got completely drunk and were sick in the bush behind our tent.
Campsite is good at making sure the loud music is turned off at 10 but on the Saturday it was still really loud late into the night and a fight nearly started at one point.
The site was far too big and busy for us and only 1 shower block and washing up room which meant Sunday morning was extremely busy.
There were also so many children riding at speed around on bikes late into the night with no lights on which was very dangerous.
No recycling apart from glass on site.
I would say visit in the week if you’re looking for a calmer, quieter visit but avoid the weekend unless you’re looking for a big party

Eileen R.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Had a lovely 2 days camping. The staff are very nice and friendly. Loads of room to camping. Different fields catering for different needs.....family fields, layed back fields. Quiet out of the way fields and big open space field. Great they have turned the barn into a pub. Bingo on Saturday night was great fun. Freezers free of use great idea. And what a bonus having the river and epic life on your door step

Disliked Loo were basically clean but should have 2 cleans a day in high season. Another toilet block and shower in further away fields

Liked The kids play area and the bar.
Like that you can pitch wherever you like.

Facilities could do with up-grading. More hooks or seats.

Liked Clean facilities.

Play area for children

Disliked Felt like we was at some kind of festival. Loud music until early hours. People drunk with no respect for families around them. Was definately not quiet after 10pm!

Aggressive and rude children threatening other children on the camp site.

Local attractions

The plentiful paths that lie around the site also link up with other local footpaths, like the one that runs beside the river to Bodiam Castle, about 20 minutes’ amble away. At Bewl Water you can go sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and cycling, or you can head to the shingle stretches at Camber Sands for windsurfing and jetskiing at Cooden beach near Bexhill. If angling’s more your sort of water-based pursuit, fish free of charge for chub and roach from the site, or head to the nearby fish farm. For a spot of local history, visit National Trust properties like Sissinghurst Castle, Cranbrook, Smallhythe Place, Scotney Castle and Batemans; should you instead fancy being ferried around, get all aboard at Bodiam for the Kent and East Sussex Railway.
