  • Peaceful and basic adults-only site in a secluded and natural setting
  • Five minutes’ drive to Kent’s coast and 10-minute walk to New Romney
  • A 10-minute drive to Dungeness National Nature Reserve
If the thought of a peaceful hol with excellent access to town amenities is trickling through your mind, make your idea a reality with a stint amid the trees and grassland fields of Running Waters Holiday Park. This secluded adults-only site may feel like it’s deep in the countryside, but it’s just a 10-minute walk from New Romney’s pubs, bars and restaurants, and is a smart choice if being close to the coast is key; some of Kent’s finest stretches of seaside, including the gorgeous Greatstone beach, are within five minutes’ drive. After indulging in days by the English Channel, meander along one of the multiple footpaths leading from the site or dawdle down the Dungeness National Nature Reserve’s trail (10 minutes), a wildfowl-filled conservation area set on a shingle spit. Relaxing is of course on the agenda while touring outside the park, but the grounds are also a pretty place for a rest in spacious greenery. The site’s a simple sort of spot yet has the amenities you need for a happy holiday, including separate ladies and gents' toilets, a shower block, washing-up facilities with cold water and a chemical disposal unit. Barbecues are allowed (when raised off the ground), so grub can be grilled for dinner when you’re not eating out in New Romney. Open fires aren't permitted, however, for the safety of all on site.

Local attractions

When you’re not at the beach, check out some of the famed English Heritage landmarks within driving distance of the park, including The Great Tower and Leeds Castle (40 minutes). Canterbury Cathedral (50 minutes) – a World Heritage Site and one of England’s most renowned Christian buildings – is another must-see spot for those into their history. An activity not to miss is a ride on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway (five minutes), the world’s smallest public railway. Soak up the scenery while chugging along, then take off to the Port Lympne Reserve’s 600 acres of countryside (30 minutes) for an animal-spotting trip. Highlights might include gazing at Kent’s only giraffe, a group of spectacled bears and a selection of big cats. If you feel like venturing further away, access to France via the Channel Tunnel and car ferry ports in Folkestone is within half an hour, while the high-speed train link leading to London is also 30 minutes from the park.

Dawn S.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Ten minutes walk to New Romney
Owners are lovely

Disliked The facilities are very poor considering the cost per night.
There is one shower which has seen better days and 2 loo's per sex, again poor standard. No hot water to wash up. Elsan point open and unhygienic.
This could be a great site if money was spent on the facilities.
On a busy road and even being deaf the traffic was loud.

From the manager: Dear Dawn

We are so sorry to hear you had such a bad time.

The Chemical toilet has a wooden cover that just needed to be closed after use.

The showers are new power showers. And on our outline to the site we state that we have a basic toilet unit.

We are by a main road as stated again on our site. But we are set back from it. Not right on it.

If you had bought your concerns up with us. We would have tried to move you further away, looked at how we could help you. Or we would of refunded your money so you could find else where that was more suitable for you.

I’m so sorry you felt you couldn’t come to us during your 4 night stay and raise your concerns. We never want anyone to be that unhappy.

I hope you keep well

Kind regards

Rachel and Lee

Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The warm welcome we received from Lee. The peace and quiet on the site. They give every pitch plenty of space. We booked an extra night because we liked it so much. Rachel and Lee are a very accommodating couple and nothing is too much trouble. The toilet and shower facilities are quite basic but we knew that when we booked. They are kept very clean. It's only a 10 minute walk to New Romney High Street with a couple of good pubs, coffee shops, supermarkets, and a hardware shop that sells some camping equipment. There is also a petrol station. Our pitch overlooked a field and we watched a barn owl hunting at dusk.

Disliked nothing

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

So glad you had a lovely time.

Lovely to meet you.
