  • Low-key farm site surrounded by orchards and woodlands
  • A 10-minute drive from Canterbury; Whitstable 20 minutes
  • Fresh home-grown produce sold on site; just off the A2
The people who run Worcesters describe it as 'a little slice of heaven' – and if you like a combination of Kentish countryside, farm animals and fresh local produce, plus easy access to the coast, you could easily end up sharing that opinion. Worcesters is located just off the A2 road 10 minutes' drive outside of Canterbury and 20 minutes from the coast at Whitstable. There's a lot of greenery around, as the site is set among old Worcester pearmain orchards and is adjacent to an ancient woodland. When not relaxing in the main site area, the trees can sort you with many hours of amusement, especially if you have kids who want to build dens or fancy a cool afternoon nap in a hammock. This is a dog-friendly site that's home to several other animals, including free-range hens, geese, goats and pigs. Fresh home-grown produce will be available depending on when you’re staying, with eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes and salads frequently in stock. For cooking, open fires and barbecues are allowed here in the designated areas. Worcesters has very basic amenities, including a fresh water standpipe and a simple composting toilet. A shower and washing machine may be available in your hosts' house by arrangement, and local produce may be available too.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The setting is stunning. We camped next to apple trees laden with bright red Worcester's apples, the juice from which was available to buy at at a very reasonable price. Love;y walks and a real forest for children to encounter a friendly Gruffalo. Super friendly owners. Very dog friendly.

Disliked: A little more investment needed with toilets - great principle though. More washing up facilities.

Liked: Being able to select our own pitch and not worry about the size of tent/set up was great. Right next to the woods so den building was brilliant. Good amount of space for the children ti play games. Fresh apple juice was lovely.

Disliked: Our main dislike was the toilet, weve been several places where composting toilets are used so this wasn't a shock but it isn't maintained well. Could of still done with the seat/floor being hosed down. We couldn't see the pigs- and the children really wanted to feed them apples.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Hatte nur eine Nacht dort, da ich auf einer Bikepacking Tour Richtung London war. Ich kam erst mitten in der Nacht an, da es auf der Fahrt einige Probleme gab. Das Tor muss manuell geöffnet werden. Dafür gibt es eine Telefonnummer, welche man anrufen muss (steht auf dem Tor). Obwohl es mitten in der Nacht war, kam trotzdem schnell der Besitzer und hat mich herzlich empfangen. Der Campingplatz selbst ist super. Ich denke man kann hier auch mehrere Tage verbringen. Einzig die fehlende Dusche wäre für mich ein Problem.
