  • Quiet glamping site surrounded by orchards in the Kent countryside
  • A 15-minute drive to Betteshanger Park and 25 minutes to Canterbury
  • Dog-friendly site; 20 minutes' walk from the local village shops
Time to kick back in Kent… With a quiet, tidy site with no electric but flushing toilets, hot showers and washing-up facilities as your base, you’ll be well situated for rambles in the Kent countryside, living it up on the coast and visiting various fishing spots on the sea, river or lake. Turners Folly Field really is a rather stunning Kent spot, spread across seven and a half acres and surrounded by countryside and apple and pear orchards. Aching for an active break? Good job this site is just 15 minutes’ drive away from Betteshanger Park, where there’s cycle hire, walking routes, a play area and a mining museum. There’s also a water park just five minutes’ drive away. As for those intending to be as lazy as possible, simply settle in and watch the wildlife (rabbits and bird species galore) in the orchards. The site is divided up by mature trees and hedging with many native plants. In an excellent extra touch, the site is also within walking distance of a vineyard (via public footpaths taking around 20 minutes) where you can sip on local wine, and there are lots of splendid spots for picnicking and wildlife watching along public footpaths through the countryside around the site. That’s any dog walks sorted for you too – the site accepts one small dog per pitch for an additional cost. Whenever you feel like a sweet treat (an ice cream perhaps?), the local village is a short 20-minute walk through the apple orchards and has a few small local shops. Clean, fresh and comfy is the stay they’ve crafted at the family-friendly Turners Folly Field. So, whether you’re stopping off for a short time before heading into Europe or plotting out a whole route around Kent’s historical sites and beaches, it’s all sweet. There’s also a selection of local PGA-accredited golf courses within a short drive of the site.

Highly recommended site! Lovely location, spacious, clean pitches, excellent facilities (spotless toilets/showers). Friendly, helpful owners add to the peaceful vibe. Great views & local access. Some want more toilets; occasional noise issues noted. Manager plans 5 toilets.

Liked Very clean, well kept. Beautiful view.
Easy to use showers

Disliked Very muddy around the water pipe.
Hard standing in that area would save having to hold the container clear of the mud .

Liked Size of the pitches, nice view, maintenance of toilets. Quiet no noise disturbances by traffic.

Disliked Soil was rockhard and not completely even, making it difficult to pitch a tent. Toilets could have been little cleaner.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Quiet campsite with clean wash area, showers and toilet facilities. Little sink in each toilet cubicle was a bonus for me if you didn’t want to use the shared wash facilities in the main area. We had a lovely view of adjacent field as there were no tents in front of us on first day and enjoyed the walk to the nearest village alongside apple orchards. Owners friendly and helpful with advice on best places to visit.

Disliked Would’ve preferred separate ladies and gents area for showers, washing and toilets but this was made clear on the description that it wasn’t segregated…just making a point for perhaps future adjustments.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely well run site. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good information prior to arrival
Meet by owners who were really very welcoming and helpful.
Liked the toilet, shower and washing area which was in keeping with the feel of the site.
Good size spots in a very quiet rural location.
Sadly not always respected by all patrons as rubbish thrown in bins not bagged and some put it unnecessarily so overflowing ( not owners fault)!

Disliked Nothing to note

Local attractions

Any takers for a zoo day? At Wingham Wildlife Park (five minutes’ drive), there are tiger experiences and penguin-feeding experiences for the brave sorts. Howletts Wild Animal Park (15 minutes) has over 390 creatures too: anteaters, African elephants and gorillas, to name but a few. There’s a few historic towns around, if you didn’t know… medieval Sandwich (10 minutes) and the former fishing and mining town of Deal (20 minutes) are a couple of favourite spots. Beach, pier, museum or theatre… there’s plenty for all sorts of days out in Deal. Canterbury (25 minutes) must, of course, get a mention. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is packed with historical sites, such as the cathedral dating from 597 AD, Roman walls, the simply gorgeous Westgate Gardens and the ruins of St. Augustine’s Abbey.
