  • East Kent site next to a popular wakeboarding centre and aqua park
  • Wingham Wildlife Park five minutes’ drive; Margate 20 minutes
  • On-site eatery; walk to Sandwich’s pubs and restaurants in 15 minutes
Adventure time… sorted. At Whitemills Wake and Aqua Park, just outside Sandwich, you’ll be staying right next to the watersports centre – so getting to those outdoor activities could hardly be easier. As the name suggests, this place has a floating inflatable aqua park to try out, and a variety of wakeboarding activities including beginner lessons and sessions for more experienced wakeboarders. And that’s not all – you can also book ringo rides, open-water swims, SUP yoga sessions and sauna/cold plunge experiences. You’re going to need plenty of fuel to get you through all those activities, so it’s handy that the site is also home to a popular restaurant that serves up homemade meals for breakfast and lunch, alongside a good range of drinks. You can shelter indoors there or take your meals and drinks out onto the terrace to watch all the action on the lake. Come evening time, you’re welcome to light up a barbecue or firepit for a cosy evening on site, or you may like to stroll into Sandwich – it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the pubs and restaurants in the town centre. From Sandwich, you can also pick up train or bus connections for trips to nearby seaside resorts including Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs, or inland to Canterbury. With easy access from two A roads, this is a handy spot for all sorts of Kent days out, including beach days and zoo trips. All sorts of guests are welcome here, including families, couples, groups and those travelling with their dogs.

What customers say

This new site has great facilities, a fantastic restaurant & prime location. Staff are friendly, the aqua park is a hit. Some pitches are small, and toilet/shower block cleanliness, especially when busy, is a concern. Road noise is also noted. Manager's working on improvements.

Liked Lovely clean location with an amazing water park on site. Toilets and showers were clean and accessible 24/7. Gates on site were locked after a certain time which was good. Close enough to a little village with Shops and pubs and a farmhouse over the road.

Disliked No Wifi even though on the welcome paper its gives u a login, however it didnt work.

No chemical waste point on site.

Liked Loved the aqua park, bar and restaurant.

Disliked Toilets and showers weren’t clean at all. We arrived midday and they hadn’t been cleaned by the time left by 10am next morning. £50 a night you’d expect the facilities to be cleaner than they were.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. However, we do need to correct the statement that the toilets and showers were not cleaned between your arrival at midday and your departure the following morning
Our facilities are cleaned and checked daily, and we have cleaning records in place to confirm when this work is carried out. We fully accept that, on a busy campsite, facilities can become untidy between checks, but it is not correct to say that they had not been cleaned during your stay
We take genuine feedback seriously, but feel that it is important to respond when information in a review does not accurately reflect what took place

Liked We came with our 3 Grandsons, they absolutely loved it, the whole thing, so therefore we were very happy campers.
However it did work out rather expensive, just a thought we were there for a few days, it would be an idea to have a package deal for the water activities, instead of paying separately for each.

Disliked There was nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Are you into big cats? Or perhaps you prefer smaller (and less ferocious) animals, such as meerkats and red pandas? How do you feel about primates? Well, good news: at Wingham Wildlife Park (five minutes’ drive), you can see them all, plus colourful birds and creepy crawlies. There’s also a Dinosaur Park, with more than 20 prehistoric creatures. Ramsgate (15 minutes) has a sandy beach and the Royal Harbour, where vessels are often decorated with fairy lights, making for a pretty sight after dark. The Ramsgate Tunnels, carved underground in the 1930s, became an air-raid shelter during World War II, and today they run guided tours, plus events from vintage dances to festive markets. Besides a wide sandy beach with a tidal pool and a waterfront sauna, Margate (20 minutes) is home to Dreamland, an amusement park with vintage rides and events including big-name concerts. The rotating art exhibitions at Turner Contemporary are always worth a look.
