  • Peaceful farm site on the edge of 2,000 acres of ancient woodland
  • A mile and a half from Honey Hill and two miles from Blean
  • Direct access to Blean Woods National Nature Reserve
Come and pitch up at Brook Farm Glamping and Camping for days full of strolling, den building and bike riding in Blean Woods, a 2,000-acre national nature reserve that backs directly onto the farm. This small-scale site is an eco-friendly place, with innovative solutions like solar-powered lighting and a composting toilet, plus upcycled washing machines that have been given a second life as barbecues and firepits. There are also cute animals here that the kids can meet, including rabbits, sheep, goats and miniature chickens. There's a good range of facilities on offer here, with well-maintained showers, toilets and a washing-up area. A selection of local produce is also available on site, or for a wider variety of food and drinks you could head to the nearest pub in Honey Hill (five minutes' drive) or to the village stores in Blean (five minutes). Holidays here will probably involve frequent trips to the beach, as Brook Farm Glamping and Camping is 15 minutes from Whitstable and half an hour from Margate by road. There are also inland attractions to explore, including the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes) and the historic cathedral city of Canterbury (15 minutes). As long as they're OK with all the other animals that call this place home and are kept on leads, dogs are very welcome to join you at Brook Farm Glamping and Camping.

What customers say

A welcoming, well-run site with plenty of room and a great vibe. Farm animals, woodland walks, cafe & pizza nights are big hits. Facilities are decent but a bit basic for some. Handy for Canterbury & Whitstable. Can get busy, and animals can be noisy.

Rachel A.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The availability of pitches at very short notice. Price within our tight budget. The size and layout of the site. Location and proximity to incredibly wide variety of excursions inland and seashore experiences. The woods. The farm animals/petting zoo (including the escapee pygmy goats and chickens!). The availability and location of facilities - showers, toilets, washing up (- included washing up liquid!), sinks, cafe, & pizza nights! Staff welcoming and readily available if needed. And very much to the other great campers - good neighbours, plenty of friends for our children to play with. All round great place to stay! Looking forward to heading out again.
More dragonflies over our part of the campsite than any of us had ever seen at one time. Extraordinary! Simple, straight forward, no fuss. Wonderful for all of us.

Local attractions

Build a den, follow a trail or fly a kite in the Kent Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that can be reached in about 10 minutes by road. Next, explore the more carefully managed landscapes on show at Belmont House and Gardens (20 minutes' drive), or prep a picnic for lunch on the beach at Whitstable (15 minutes). A little bit further up the coast, Margate (30 minutes) has art galleries, independent shops and fab contemporary restaurants to explore, while Broadstairs (35 minutes), one of Charles Dickens' favourite haunts, has old-world appeal with its cliffs, Victorian buildings and three separate bays. Away from the coast, Leeds Castle (25 minutes) has an impressive moat, fortress and well-maintained grounds to visit, while Dover Castle (30 minutes) has centuries of maritime history plus tunnels in the cliff face to explore. For more things to see and do, you'll be sorted in Canterbury (15 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site city where top tourist sites include Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and the Canterbury Tales attraction, an interactive exhibit that brings Chaucer's stories to life.
