  • Quiet adults-only site in the Kent Downs National Landscape
  • North Downs Way 10 minutes’ walk; Folkestone 20 minutes’ drive
  • Three pubs, a vineyard and fishing lake all within walking distance
If you like to be surrounded by stunning natural views, then family-run Horton View Farm is the place for you. Five minutes’ drive away from the Kent villages of Stowting and Brabourne, this adults-only site is set on a quiet lane with views across to the hills and valleys of the Kent Downs National Landscape. There are scenic walks from the gate of the camping meadow, as well as spectacular sunrises and sunsets and dark skies filled with shimmering stars on clear nights. Approached by neatly mown paths through the wild meadow, each tent has its own firepit, and logs are available to purchase from the site. It’s mostly off-grid (so bring your own torches), but it does have flushing toilets and hot showers, a fridge and a freezer for guests to use, and an open barn with a social area where you can relax and take in the stunning landscape. A vineyard, several pubs and a fishing lake are within half an hour’s walk of the site along quiet lanes and footpaths, so leave the car behind if you choose. The very nearest pub is just five minutes’ stroll away, and if good local produce is your thing, there are exceptional farm shops, bakeries and farmers’ markets throughout the area.

What customers say

Horton View: Tá sé go hálainn, ciúin, an-ghlan, le háiseanna iontacha agus radhairc ghrianstad. Tá barn só samhlaíoch, binsí picnice & soilse gréine ann. Tá Jo & Dave, na húinéirí, iontach. Lonnú maith. Fáilteachas ach d'aosaigh. Filleadh go leor.

Stephanie M.

Bell tent

Liked We had a fantastic long weekend at Horton View Farm. Jo and Dave were so friendly and helpful, the facilities were excellent and spotless, and our bell tent was perfect with everything we needed for our weekend, and lots of little extras thought about too. The local area was great for walking to lovely pubs, a nice vineyard and cycling further afield to Wye and Folkestone. We will definitely be coming back next year, and have recommended it to friends and family already! Thank you for a great stay!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fabulous review Stephanie, we're so happy you enjoyed the bell tent and the wonderful local area. We'd love to welcome you back, and thank you so much for recommending us to friends and family, it means a lot.

Amazing site with immaculate facilities.

Catherine H.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked Everything! Was the most perfect weekend. The super friendly owners couldn't have done enough for us. There were gorgeous little touches such as a fab communal barn with a big table and chairs, fridge freezer, kettle, snacks, maps, plugs for phone charging etc. Toilets and showers were immaculate and always well stocked with loo roll and hand soap. Lovely washing up area with hot water. Pitches were large with fire pits and all had amazing views. Bell Tents were huge and just perfect. Whole area seemed to be full of really friendly locals too. All in all an amazing few days. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your little piece of heaven.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Aw thanks so much for your wonderful review Catherine, we're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much, it was our pleasure to host you both. You're right, the locals are very friendly and we are really lucky to live in such a great community! Thanks for choosing our small site, you are welcome back any time.

They’ve got everything right!

Sarah B.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Everything. The pitches were nicely spaced. The facilities were spacious and spotless. Hot showers. Lots of hooks! Great firepit and views. There is a communal area with a large fridge freezer and kettle- both really useful! And three pubs within walking distance with great food available. Dave and Jo were fabulous hosts- what’s not to like?

Disliked Nothing

Amelia S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Such a lovely site! Dave, the owner, greeted us on arrival, checked in on us in the morning and couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. The communal area has everything you could need - kettle, fridge, plug sockets, games, maps, marshmallows, and even menus for pubs near by. The bathrooms were clean, bright, and eco-friendly. Very well kept and a comfortable site we would happily return to.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your great review Amelia, we're really glad to hear you enjoyed the site and all the little extras. You'd be welcome back any time.
