Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Lovely friendly site. Clean and welcoming.
Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked This was a lovely friendly campsite. We loved the goats and chickens ! We stayed midweek at the end of June when it was quiet but would happily stay at a busier time. There was a bar and restaurant in a very cute area which we would have used but as the site was quiet it was only open on our last night. There showers and toilets were clean and well kept and it was good to have a freezer for freezer blocks. There showers and campsite staff were great and always came to chat and made us feel very welcome.
Disliked There was nothing- it was a lovely campsite.
This is a real gem of a site.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Was welcomed by Dave who was so friendly . Could basically park wherever we wanted. Absolutely beautiful site. Back to nature. Loved the goats and chickens on site. Went to get eggs from the honesty box but we weren’t lucky this time. Lovely hot showers. Toilet and shower block always clean and well stocked. Bar was very rustic and cute. Good quality beers and decent prices. Also pizzas, burgers and breakfast available. Great little play park if you do have little ones. Deal and Sandwich short drive away. Met some lovely people there all will the same mindset. We will definitely be back especially when they have some events on. Highly recommend

I give Lillyroos 5 stars. It’s a charming, family-friendly site.
Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Our three-day stay at Lillyroo’s campsite in Deal was a fantastic little getaway with my two daughters, aged 5 and 2. The site was really well presented and had a warm, welcoming feel as soon as we arrived. Our pitch was clean and well-maintained, and the facilities throughout were spotless. The staff were a real highlight—Sarah, one of the owners, took time to show my girls the chickens and ducks and even let them collect some eggs, which they absolutely loved. Dave, the other owner, went out of his way to help when I brought the wrong gas canister for our camping cooker—he actually went and got the right one for us! There’s a small bar on-site where we could grab drinks, and when the weather turned a bit grey, the cinema room was perfect for putting on cartoons and keeping the kids entertained. There’s a great little play park for the kids, and the location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions like Betteshanger Park. From the clean facilities to the relaxed atmosphere and extra touches like the cinema room and friendly animals, everything added up to a really memorable trip for me and the girls. We’ll definitely be returning.
Disliked The only thing that would have improved our stay was the option of an electric pitch. It’s not a huge issue, but with little ones and unpredictable weather, having electricity on-site would’ve made things just that bit easier. Hopefully this is something that might be offered in the future, as the rest of the experience really was excellent.
Can't wait to stay again
