What customers say
A peaceful, back-to-basics campsite in beautiful rural Kent, with orchards. Guests love host Diane, the ample space, and freedom to pick pitches. Facilities are clean & functional, with nice extras like phone charging. Showers are absent, but most find it adequate for a relaxing stay. Great for local walks & attractions.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We were made welcome by the owner and advised of a walk through the woods and fields to a lovely local village and pub. We enjoyed this and collected some books to read on our return from the book "phone box". The area was lovely and peaceful and we really enjoyed our stay. Lovely hostess.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location is good, nice pub in the village
Disliked Massively overpriced - I didn't expect a shower, but there wasn't even anywhere to have a wash.
The toilet was a portaloo!!!!!
This is a £10 campsite as it stands, it will be a £25 (what we paid) campsite when they have some facilities; but I fear they will be charging more.
Feel Royally ripped off to be honest 🤷🏻♂️

From the manager: Thank you for your review. As I explained to your wife, who enjoyed her stay, all of the facilities listed on Pitch Up are provided on site. The site does not have an obligation to provide facilities that are not listed. So there is no washroom area (at present) other than the basins provided in the portaloos. However, there is copious amounts of hot water available, which you used. I'm sorry to say that your suspicions are wrong, as the price will remain the same for the rest of the season even when the new toilet/shower block and washroom are completed this month. I'm glad you enjoyed the location, as it's beautiful with easy access to woodland walks and the pub. You booked a one night stay with Campsites. co. uk and then booked for a second night with Pitch Up As you found the site well below par, scoring 1/10, it's surprising that you decided to endure another night. 🏕️

Wait until they improve the facilities to justify the £25 price tag
Anonymous Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We liked Frittenden Orchard campsite for the fact that is was a flat field and very quiet.
Disliked We disliked paying £25 when the only facilities were a washing up area and a portacabin for a toilet (for the entire field of campers)!
Wait perhaps until later in the year before booking as they are planning on improving the facilities

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you didn't like paying £25 (of which 15 percent is paid directly to Pitch Up). The price is similar to other campsites in the area. The facilities on site, as mentioned on Pitch Up, are sufficient for the amount of pitches booked. As per listing the price includes toilet, washing up area, communal fridge, phone charging points, wi-fi, Chemical disposal point etc. Photos are provided, so that the customer knows exactly what to expect. You noted that a new toilet/shower block and washroom is currently being completed. As soon as it is finished, the details will be added to the Pitch Up listing. The price will remain the same for the rest of the season.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. You noted that there was no shower available. This site has no showers, as per listing on Pitch Up. However, showers and toilets are being built ATM, they will be ready May 26.
I'm sorry you had an issue with the portaloo. If you had informed me of this, it could have been sorted immediately.
See you on your next visit. 🙂
