  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This is a beautiful and peaceful site and I would highly recommend it.  The lovely owners have thought of everything campers need, and some lovely little personal touches too - tea and coffee making facilities, phone charge point, picnic benches, plump cushions, cosy blankets, solar lighting, fire pits, pretty landscaping, bunting all give a personal touch.  The bathrooms/showers are great.  Three pubs within easy walking distance, although it's hard to drag yourselves away from the site :-) We used it as a stop-over and caught Le Shuttle in the morning, which is less than 30mins away.   It was a shame to leave and not be able to make more use of the site - we will be back!

Disliked Please note the low star for child-friendly was only because it's an adult only site - so question wasn't relevant. Child free was perfect for us!

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a lovely review, we're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay so much. We love camping ourselves and the extra touches are the kinds of things that we value when we are travelling. We hope to see you again if you are ever staying in the area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We loved our stay at Horton View. Fantastic facilities, with everything you could think of available. Theres a lovely communal area and the pitches are flat and well maintained. The whole site is amazingly clean and the showers were hot and spacious. Knowledgeable hosts, in beautiful countryside. 10/10. We will be back!

From the manager: Thank you so much for this fantastic review Mari, when our campers are happy, we are happy. We'd love for you to come back any time!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked A stones throw from the North Downs Way, amazing pubs and vineyard within short walking distance, a 20 minute drive to Folkestone for Fish and Chips. Amazing hosts. This place has it all, and no kids!

From the manager: Thanks for the great review Pete, and for adding the photos. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay so much.
