  • Quiet family-friendly farm site on eight acres of Kent farmland
  • A 45-minute drive from Hastings; half an hour to the coast
  • Fishing lake and kitchen facilities on site; fresh eggs to buy
Heading to the Kent countryside in a quest for a rural retreat near to steam railways, castle ruins and vineyards? As well as assorted farm animals on site, there are eight acres of farmland at Setts Wood Camping and Glamping, including a fishing lake (charges apply) and a wooded area for classic games of hide and seek. Down a private lane and well away from the road, there is certainly plenty of unwinding to be done at this quiet site. Don't worry about being too far removed though, as it's still within reach of several historic towns including Hastings (a 45-minute drive away), and has several sandy beaches within half an hour’s drive. The local town of Tenterden is five minutes’ drive away for a convenient collection of breweries, restaurants and supermarkets where you can pick up supplies for a picnic or a barbecue back at the farm. You can also buy fresh free-range eggs on site every morning, in a splendid selection of different colours. Store any leftovers in the communal fridge and make use of the other kitchen facilities such as a kettle and sink. Other handy facilities include toilets and a shower block, for washing off any grains of sand accumulated from the beaches at Camber Sands and Dymchurch, both within half an hour’s drive.

What customers say

Setts Wood Camping offers a beautiful, peaceful, and well-kept site with large pitches and friendly hosts. Animal encounters, a fishing lake, and clean facilities are highlights. Some guests noted the distance to washrooms and a single shower. Management notes a second shower is available. Many guests would return.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Setts Wood Camping and will definitely be back! The campsite is very well maintained, with spotless toilets and showers, and everything you need for a comfortable camping trip including kitchen facilities

The location is perfect – only around 20 minutes from the beautiful Camber Sands beach. Kids absolutely loved the alpacas and didn’t want to leave them! 🦙❤️

A special mention also goes to Loki, the adorable dog, who completely stole our hearts. 🐶

The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating such a lovely atmosphere. We highly recommend Setts Wood Camping to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly, and well-equipped campsite.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The grounds were easy to find, well kept and there was lots of space.
The experience was also elevated by the arrival of a stray, very friendly lamb who stayed with us by our tent for the better part of the evening before we guided him back towards his field the kids were thrilled 😍

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great little camp site nice and relaxed.

We camped for 2 days to take Little ones camping

Was able to do a bit of fishing didn't catch anything but little one loved it

Owners very quick to answer our questions and went above and beyond when one of our party's blow up bed got a hole in, we asked for some duct tape but they sorted out a pull out bed for the night

Toilets were nice and clean and being able to charge phone in the kitchen was great

The alpaca and sheep wandering around was a big hit for the kids

Disliked Nothing at all

Recommend to friends Visit again

Had very good time away from city life

Local attractions

Join the steam railway at Tenterden (five minutes' drive) or Romney Marsh (20 minutes) and stop off at a reel of historic towns. Find your end destination in Hastings (45 minutes), where you can visit the underground tunnels of smugglers' old haunts, roam the ruins of an 11th-century Norman castle or stay in the modern-day with a stroll along the amusement pier. Play like royalty in more turrets and ruins, including Bodiam Castle (25 minutes), Sissinghurst Castle (20 minutes) and Leeds Castle (35 minutes). Or perhaps turn towards the historic towns of Tenterden (five minutes) and Rye (20 minutes) or the landscaped gardens at the fanciful Hole Park (15 minutes) and Great Dixter House & Gardens (25 minutes). Smallhythe Place (10 minutes) is another enticing site, with a 16th-century cottage that was once the home of a famous actress. Red or white? Let your tastebuds decide at local vineyards including Chapel Down Tenterden Vineyard Park (15 minutes), Gusbourne Estate Vineyard (10 minutes) and Biddenden (15 minutes). If the animals on site have you craving more, Port Lympne Safari Park (half an hour) should fit the bill.
