Jo C.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This site was lovely and clean. I met Alan and his son and they were both very nice people. They make you feel VERY welcome. It's lovely and quiet, very respectful campers on site. Great access to the river which my children loved. Also, a great idea to hire a fire pit and logs.

Disliked The only issue I'd have is the noise from the traffic which is out of the owners control. I'd just take a pair of ear plugs for a good night's sleep.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked It was clean

Disliked This is like staying in someone back garden , it is just a field with a small part having a stretch of river. The people next to us had a generator which was loud and kids running around till 10.40 screaming. The place is located down a very small rd with no signs. I would not recommend this place.

Local attractions

You won’t have to travel far to start finding places to visit – for starters, The Hop Farm is about a mile away for animal encounters, an adventure play area and a kids’ driving circuit, or you could try the teapot collection and lovely café at Teapot Island (both about five minutes’ drive). You can also follow local footpaths, including the Medway Valley Walk that runs alongside the river all the way to Tonbridge, or find more trails in places like Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest (half an hour). There's also a Go Ape adventure course at Bedgebury, or you can try out various watersports and bounce across the inflatable aqua park at Bewl Water (25 minutes). On a grander scale, visit medieval Tonbridge Castle (20 minutes’ drive) or plan to spend a full day exploring Leeds Castle (25 minutes), riding the miniature train, playing miniature golf, watching falconry displays and spending time at the castle-themed play area. If you’ve not got kids to entertain, perhaps the lovely Sissinghurst Castle Gardens (half an hour) might be more your style.
