  • Simple field site in Kent with tap and electric supply
  • Brands Hatch racetrack and Bewl Water fishing within 20 minutes' drive
  • An hour by car from Canterbury and Folkestone beach
From Neolithic long barrows to Napoleonic forts, medieval castles to Second World War munitions sites, Kent is a county where the past seems very present. At Lucy's Barn, it's outdoor relaxation as your ancestors would have done it: a field, surrounded by trees and Kent countryside, with a water tap, electricity supply and little else between you, the peace of nature and the plentiful spread of stuff to see and do in the area. Important business first: the nearest pub with food is in Stansted village, four minutes' drive away or a 20-minute walk. If you're into motors, the famed Brands Hatch circuit is five minutes away for race meets and driving experiences or for watery thrills, make for Leybourne Lakes Country Park (20 minutes) for scuba diving, kayaking, windsurfing and the simple pleasures of swimming. The lakes are part of a 93-acre site of woodland, grasslands and marshes, full of wildlife and well furnished with trails for walking and biking. If you're truly addicted to all things aquatic, Bewl Water (45 minutes) is where you go for boating and fishing on the huge reservoir.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Absolutely amazing site! We are returning customers and will keep returning. A few updates needed but nothing to hinder your stay :). Clean and tidy and always a pleasant stay. We stayed this weekend 21/09 and had a huge family gathering due to family visiting from another country so perfect location.

Disliked Mirrors in toilets for after showers, fixed toilet seats general update of facilities. But nothing major.

Would suit some campers and not others depending on your requirements.

Liked Flat open field with picnic benches, great space for the kids to just have fun

Disliked Toilet/showers/washing up facilities.
I was aware from reviews these may have not been up to scratch but thought for the price as a test run for our new set up we’d give it a go.
The facilities need a revamp and general tidy up/maintenance, was ok for a weekend stay but any longer than that and the site wouldn’t have suited us. Hopefully these are getting the needed upgrade/repairs for the future

Local attractions

If the birdsong on the site gives you a taste to see things wild and feathered, the Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve (20 minutes' drive) is the spot for communing with the kingfishers and hailing the herons, throughout a spread of lakes, ponds, pools and reed beds. Wilder still, Howlett's Wild Animal Park an hour away has gorillas and leopards, moneys and the largest herd of elephants in the UK. To get into Kent's history, you could start way way back with the Neolithic long barrow at Addington (15 minutes), then carry on to Knole Castle (half an hour) to see a 600-year-old building still looking pretty fine in its 1,000-acre deer park setting. For a trip not quite so far back in time, take an hour's drive to New Romney for the start of the famed Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway whose steam engines will puff you pleasantly through the marshlands down to Dungeness. The deserted beach there is well worth a look and a photo opp; the sands at Folkestone (an hour) are far livelier while the Kent Battle of Britain Museum reminds you how this friendly coast was once a strategic frontier. A similar distance from the site, Canterbury took some hits in the war but its 14th-century cathedral (on the site of a sixth-century one) still makes for a fine visit, as do the little lanes in the surrounding old town.
