Dog-friendly farm site in Romney Marsh run by a friendly family
Cycling and walking paths nearby; a 15-minute drive to Dungeness
Café next door and a traditional pub five minutes’ walk away

Kicking back peacefully in Kent will be the only task at hand at dog-friendly Jessamine Farm, unless you want to count roaming around Romney Marsh by bicycle or visiting a lighthouse or lush beach on the coast. Folks have been cantering to Jessamine Farm for over 40 years - since 1978 - so thousands before you have also gone on to track down the easily accessible local National Cycle Routes (including the numbers two and 11) and walking trails. Just like you might, they’ve probably also plopped down on a lush grassy spot in the orchard to take in the starry skies on a clear night. This family-run site is peaceful indeed, and it has a lot of character: Puff the horse may spy on you from afar and you may also spot the family’s dog Omen (also known as chief rabbit chaser and sock thief). The meadow has a wildlife pond, and on the note of wildlife, bird chorus will also serve as a ‘good morning’ from the feathered kind. When you’re feeling peckish, either rustle up something edible on a campfire or head out to one of several local spots. Next door, there’s a typical British café serving fry-ups. New Romney, five minutes’ drive away, has a supermarket, and popular restaurants including an Italian and a Mediterranean restaurant. A traditional pub is also five minutes’ walk away.

Pitches were a great size and plenty of space was given around each one.

Would highly recommend this site if you want good walks.

Electric touring pitch

Liked: Very welcoming and relaxed site. Easy access and lots of flat ground (this is Romney Marsh after all!). Elec and dog all included in the very reasonable prices. The place is kept clean and tidy. We had a lovely short stay here. Nice dark dkues for star gazing.

Disliked: Could do with some more shower and washing up facilities, I think they are planned. Otherwise, great little site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Amazing campsite, staff all so friendly and helpful! Loved that we could choose our own pitch and the added touch of hiring a fire pit and logs was amazing and made our evenings that bit nicer. Staff on the last day blew us away when we had the most stubborn tent peg in the world and they were so helpful with helping us get it out the ground lol! Facilities were lovely and clean! Really recommend and will hopefully be back soon!

Local attractions

Working your way outwards is a good plan of action, and beginning that tactical exploration will no doubt be a visit to the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum (five minutes’ drive), where there’s a wartime equipment collection, aircraft crash site remains and other wartime artefacts. A different chapter of history is on-hand (and interactive) at Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (five minutes), a heritage railway which will take you Dungeness the old-fashioned way. Once in Dungeness (15 minutes), there’s a fair few next courses of action… climbing to the very top of the Old Lighthouse, a Grade II-listed building which saved many ships in the 20th century, perhaps? Keeping your eyes peeled for rare birds (booming bitterns and wheatears, even) in the RSPB nature reserve? Port Lympne Safari Park (25 minutes) has a good-sized selection of bigger animals; the acres-wide drive-in savannah features lions, tigers and wolves.
