By the River Medway in Yalding, with river access for watersports
A 25-minute drive to Leeds Castle; half an hour to Sissinghurst
Pub, railway station and canoe hire within a five-minute walk

If your kind of retreat is one where you’re free to wade in the river, paddle downstream and spend evenings in a waterside pub, Riverview Camping and Caravans might be what you’ve been searching for. This peaceful site is right next to the River Medway, in the Kent village of Yalding… Naturally, that makes it a particularly fine spot for those aiming to launch their watersports kit while on a rural break, as it’s in the middle of the River Medway Canoe Trail from Tonbridge to Allington. There’s direct access to the river from the site, with a couple of slipways and a canoe hire place within a few minutes’ walk as well. The riverside setting is also a good one for those looking to settle down somewhere peaceful and pretty – but that’s not all this location has going for it. It’s also handily less than five minutes’ walk from the railway station, a coffee shop with a play area, and a lovely riverside pub/restaurant. Stroll for a little further (all of about 10 minutes) to get to the village centre for more pubs, takeaways, a tearoom, a bakery and the village shop. It’s all mighty convenient for those travelling without a car. Back at the site, basic amenities are in place – guests will have access to toilets and a washing-up area, but there’s no hot water available. Those hoping to spend the evening stoking a fire are in luck, as both campfires and barbecues are permitted on site.

Lovely little fishing lake and seeing paddle boards going by..

Lovely surprise seeing the resident sheep!

It’s not camping without a campfire and marshmallows to toast!

A lovely site. Simple but perfect. Clean facilities. Welcoming owners.

Jo C. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great spacious flat pitch, friendly site managers, great location for river activities, good amount of available loos. Was worried when a large group of guys turned up but they were well behaved and family vibe of site probably kept them that way.

Disliked: No showers although this was made really clear in listing and we were only staying two nights so didn’t bother us. Didn’t know about the check in window times until the day before which would have been good to have more clearly when booking as it made the morning journey there a little pressured.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Really nice clean site, nice and quiet and Clare the owner was so so helpful. She even drives around the site selling firewood so you can have campfires every evening. Nice access to the river, we even hired canoes within 5 minutes walk and had a great time. Will definitely be back in the future.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Pay a visit to the biggest collection of teapots in England. If such a thing wasn’t on your travel wishlist previously, it will be now – after all Teapot Island is only five minutes’ walk away. Also close by is The Hop Farm (five minutes’ drive), likely to be a hit with young kids due to its small farm animals and soft play. Adults will be happy to find things catering to their taste too. Fishing activities are available at Claygate Lakes (10 minutes) and at Mereworth Wines (10 minutes), taste test local wines and potions in the winery and taproom. If it’s the historical sort of stuff you’re mostly interested in, Leeds Castle (25 minutes) and Scotney Castle (25 minutes) will get that in full swing. Straight out of the 17th century, Knole Park (half an hour) is a National Trust site with a deer park, gatehouse tower and attics. Sissinghurst Castle Garden (half an hour) is another historical spot, with a Grade I-listed park and gardens. As for peaceful walks by the river and picnics in meadows, head to Teston Bridge Country Park (10 minutes).
