Camping overlooking St Andrews Lakes
St andrews lakes, halling, kent.
Kayaks, paddleboards, pedalos and bell boats to rent
Kent's largest inflatable aqua park

  • Lakeside Kent motorhome pitches five minutes’ drive from Halling
  • Rochester 20 minutes’ drive, and Leeds Castle 25 minutes
  • Watersports hub in a former chalk quarry; café and takeaway on site
Looking for loads of family fun and sporty activities on hand during your break? You’ve struck gold with St Andrews Lakes, tucked away in the Kent countryside 45 minutes’ drive from central London and five minutes from the village of Halling. Here hardstanding motorhome pitches overlook a freshwater lake in a former quarry that’s been painstakingly transformed into a watersports hub (opening times vary depending upon the season and day of the week). There’s loads of choice here for activities – from open-water swimming to paddleboard and pedalo rental or dinghy sailing – and you can also sign up for a runaround on the lake's inflatable aqua park (closed between October and April). Then, when it’s time to rest up, you can retreat to the spa and wellness centre. There’s a beach too, if you’d prefer to find somewhere to snooze on the sand instead of playing around in the water all day. Please note that there's an extra charge for all activities, and advance booking is essential in peak season. Everything has been thought of to make your stay as easy as possible: there’s a watersports shop (rental is available too) on site, as well as an ‘inflation station’ to take the hard work out of pumping up your paddleboard. No need to worry about catering for your sports-mad kin either, as there’s a beach café serving drinks and homemade snacks, as well as a takeaway pizza service to keep you refuelled for your next sporting activity. And the pitches are pretty handy too: each has an electric hook-up as well as a picnic bench and chiminea for alfresco dining.

Patrick M.

Lake View FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked The set up for camper van was really good, we had a lake view, but was really a "canvas tent view" as we was behind the wellness center and didn't see it much water.

The facilities for the camper area was really good toilets and shower was spotless, only 5 pitches taken up so wasnt busy.

The stone pitches where really well maintained, they have a log burner but the logs in the shop where £15!
Each plot has a picnic table which was really handy.

Felt really safe as the site has security.

A tesco is a 2 min drive in case you forget milk!

Disliked This isn't really a compliment regarding my booking, but the activities at the center where so expensive, the.beach area for a family of 4 would cost £75, this is literally for a lounger, don't get me wrong it looked really good, but way to expensive.
The pedalo was £40 for an hour which is expensive.

Please don't let that put you off, if your only camping then the site is fantastic.

Hedge Row FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked The pitches were nice 😉

Disliked I booked a pitch and was happy with it when I arrived. I had my 2 young grandchildren with me, who were super excited to be on their first camping trip. When we went to book in at reception we were told that the beach was fully booked, the only option for us was to book a pedalo for an hour at 4.30.
Now I know that everything has to be booked in advance, even a place on the beach, at an extra cost. Madness! If you're booking a pitch with 2 small children, surely on booking, it should clearly state that you need to book a slot for the beach and every other activity. It was absolutely rammed and not my idea of a pleasant stay. Maybe a slot should be allocated to those paying for a pitch? I definitely will not be returning! This country's greed sucks the fun out of everything 😒 We ended up leaving and trundling down to the coast. Found a fabulous camp site and had a great weekend after all.

From the manager: Thanks so much for leaving us a review, Sarah! We're a very popular venue, so bookings do tend to fill up quickly. Just a quick note—our pitch hire doesn’t include access to the activities, as those need to be booked separately. Most importantly though, we’re so glad you had a great weekend with your family, that's what matters most!

We will be back soon loved it.

Liked Loads of exciting activities to do with a range of prices. Quiet, safe, friendly, professional.

Disliked The shower! It was either scalding hot or freezing cold, no in-between. And the water pressure was pretty poor.

Robert K.

Lake View FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked Great location for the lake which was absolutely stunning, crystal clear water and lovely to paddle board on. Fairly compact site and pitches but the pictures show that. Great to have a bench on each pitch. We will definitely be back again.

Disliked Shower wasn’t very good and noisy music playing neighbours till late despite the rules clearly saying “ This is a quiet site: no music is allowed.”

Liked Small site next to lake.
Very quiet and peaceful at night.
Check in simple and girl lovely and friendly.

Disliked Sewage lorry pumping out toilet at 9 am on Monday morning right Infront of pitch.

Security staff were so miserable!

Kitchen is shared with staff from lake and was dirty and full of dirty dishes. I had to clear the sink then wipe down the work top to be able to wash our dishes.

Local attractions

If you can drag everybody away from the lake, there’s lots of heritage stuff to see in this corner of Kent. Historic Rochester (20 minutes’ drive) has a stately Norman castle and a Gothic-era cathedral to explore, while neighbouring Chatham (half an hour) showcases centuries of naval history at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, where you can tour the World War II destroyer HMS Cavalier and the Cold War-era submarine HMS Ocelot. The spectacular moated Leeds Castle (25 minutes) has enough craft workshops, museums, events and sculpture trails to keep the family busy all day. However, should the siren call of culture start to wane with the kids, take them to Diggerland Kent (10 minutes) for some time moving earthworks and shifting soil around on JCBs. No need to panic if it rains either, as you can divert to the bowling lanes at Hollywood Bowl Rochester (10 minutes). If you’d care to wander further afield, London sights like Greenwich Palace, The Prime Meridian and the National Maritime Museum can be reached in less than an hour’s drive.
