Riverview bell tent (four person)
Liked: Fantastic place for families. Lots of green for kids to run and play. Playground on the site. Access to the river with fishing and kayaking. Campfire (you can buy the logs from the owners) and bench next to the Glamping. Washing station on the site. Beautiful nights with sky full of stars 🌟 5 minutes walk away from restaurant and cafe with ice-cream.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: This was the second time me and my better half has stayed here, its just so chilled and relaxed. The owners are really nice and helpful. It's a locked enclosure so there's great security and although we were the only ones there we also had the company of two very friendly sheep ! There's a nice pub 5 mins by foot and access to to lovely Riverside walks. Will definitely be back
Disliked: I know its cheesy but the dislike is we had to go so soon.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: This basic campsite is great if you want a simple camping experience. It has toilets, running (cold) water, fire pits and plenty of space to pitch and run around in. It even has a children's play area. This was ideal for me and another parent taking our children for a camping trip. The people who run it are very friendly. It's also less than 5 minutes walk from Yalding station which makes it ideal if travelling without a car, or for getting the train back after a long walk north along the River Medway.
Disliked: Didn't dislike anything but if you wanted more than basics (hot water, showers), you'll be disappointed. However, the campsite has only been going a few years and they are already building new toilets and planning to add showers, so maybe next summer they will have those.
