  • Friendly site easily accessible via the M20 and M2
  • A 10-minute drive to the seaside resort of Leysdown
  • On the outskirts of Minster village
An island base in south-east England 10 minutes' drive from sands and seaside resort: all is prepared for you and the crew at Plough Leisure Caravan Park on Kent's Isle of Sheppey – and it's all easily accessible via the M20 and M2. The park is on the outskirts of the large village of Minster, home of a Saxon abbey and its gatehouse museum, and an easy 10 minutes' drive from Sheppey's main seaside resort of Leysdown with sandy beaches and six family amusement arcades. The Shellness section of the Swale National Nature Reserve is around here too, along with skinny dipping for the stout-hearted at Swale naturist beach… On-site facilities at Plough include a playground and a field for ball games; for the essentials, there's a toilet and shower block, an outdoor washing-up area, a launderette and a chemical toilet disposal point. It's about 15 minutes' walk into town from here, and five to the nearest bus stop.

What customers say

Plough Leisure Caravan Park gets good marks for friendly staff, clean amenities, and a quiet vibe. Kids have room to play and the grounds are nice. Some find the facilities a bit old (showers, toilets), and ramps can be steep. A few guests mentioned uneven pitches, noise, and occasional cleanliness issues. Management has addressed security and upgrades.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Clean toilets & showers ( lovely, friendly cleaner)
Washing area kept clean & had nice hot water.

Disliked Pitching on a slope, wasn't many flat pitches. No one available for over an hour one morning when a friends electric wasn't working. No apology from the rude man that came to sort it either.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Toilets and showers were spotless cleaned twice a day, sink area cleaned twice a day, cleaner was lovely. Jackie and Steve lovely people will help you out.

Disliked Play Park could do with upgrading only 1 swing for the whole site so was arguments, children from the statics coming to touring field bullying our children has made me unsure on returning we stayed 8 nights in total, kids love it there just a shame the older children from the static owners have changed my views on returning, I think it would be fair for the touring field to have their own park and the static owners have their own, as they are 2 sites, as this seems fair due to statics having a swimming pool that the tourers are not allowed to use so only seems fair

Local attractions

Start off in popular seaside town Leysdown-on-Sea for beachy days punctuated by sugary doughnuts and a fish supper or two, then make it your mission to see the nature and landscapes of Sheppey before driving off-isle into Kent. Between Minster and Sheerness, Barton's Point Coastal Park (10 minutes' drive) covers 40 acres of wide open space popular for canalside walks, cycling and kite flying, and fishing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and canoeing on its lake. Themed open days and funfairs are held in summer and a play area, café and picnic area are also around. The meadows and waterways of nearby Elmley National Nature Reserve (20 minutes) are tiptop for watching birds, insects, mammals, lizards and amphibians – and the sunrises and sunsets are pretty spectacular here too. (Give the reserve a call before setting off to check seasonal opening times.) Around Kent, travel along to Canterbury Cathedral, guided River Stour tours and the Canterbury Tales attraction at the county capital, 40 minutes from Plough Leisure, and to the gorillas, lions, elephants and more of nearby Howletts Wild Animal Park and the Port Lympne Wild Animal Experience, 50 minutes and an hour away. Howletts Wild Animal Park also has a treetop challenge for your own little critters to tackle. Kent's rural heritage is nicely covered at Kent Life in Maidstone (30 minutes), a family attraction with hands-on activities, play areas, tractor rides and animals to hold and feed.
