What customers say
Stunning riverside spot with friendly staff & woodland pitches. Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing & cafe great for all ages. Some road noise & mozzies, showers a bit pricey/limited loos. Fab for a chilled escape!

Disliked Payable for a shower which where ok

A lovely relaxing stay.
Unpowered grass and gravel motorhome site (lake view)
Liked Superb site. We had a view straight onto the lake with our own decking. Toilets and showers on site were very clean with an old horse box having been creatively constructed into a toilet and shower block. Very pretty. Staff were lovely and the cafe served great food. Launched straight onto the river for a day paddle boarding with equipment for hire for those who don’t have their own. A little gem.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, the site makes it clear there are no toilet waste facilities, electric hook up or hot water (save for the showers) so you just need to come prepared.

Liked Picturesque woodland setting next to the river, friendly and accommodating family-run site, kayak and paddleboards available to rent to explore along a beautiful stretch of the River Medway, secure at night

Unpowered grass and gravel motorhome site (lake view)
Liked We had a lovely spot by the lake with our own decking. Even after being there only a couple of hours, felt like we’d been there ages. Very peaceful and relaxing. Ideal location right on the Medway Valley river walk. We walked our dog one way in the morning, and the other way in the afternoon. The on site cafe is very good. Good menu with reasonable prices. The evening was idyllic…sitting on our reclining chairs by the lake with our lights on with a bottle of wine.
Think we will be returning often, as we were looking for a site in reasonable distance for frequent weekends away.

Great location next to the river.…
Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked Great location next to the river. We camped in the wooded area which was quiet with plenty of space between other campers.
Disliked My poached eggs were not runny :)

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in the woods and felt it was a great location. We don't personally serve eggs for campers but will pass this onto the café 😉
Amazing site
Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked The atmosphere, scenery, river, all of it!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the minute we got there. Friendly helpful staff, loads to do. Our son was so happy on the field playing the games and on the rope swing. Not sure why people are commenting on the showers, its a quick wash at camping not and all inclusive resort 😂 we had plenty on time in there for all of £2. Hired some kayaks which was so easy and fun and and bonus to be able to do this all in the same place. Pitch was spacious, facilities were so clean, cutely decorated and you can tell they put thought into it. Relaxed and well thought out

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you found the team friendly and helpful. As a small family run campsite we are keen to make the site as family friendly as possible with lots of fun for the little ones.
Thank you for your comments about thew showers.
We are glad you enjoyed the kayaks. We are so pleased to have the hire options available for everyone. this year.
We hope to see you again soon.
Great campsite with lovely river walks.
Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked Lovely little campsite, with some lovely walks along the river. We camped in the woods which the kids absolutly loved.
Disliked Our only dislike which was'nt actually the campsite's fault is it can be a bit noisy at night if your next to the river like we was. As there were speed boats speeding up and down. But apart from that the campsite itself is lovely.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, We are glad you and the children had such a good time. We love our camping spots in the woods, particularly in the recent hot weather.
It's a shame you were disturbed by people not being respectful along the river of an evening. Unfortunately they were a group camping at a nearby campsite that have since moved on.
We appreciate you mentioning this was out of our control and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
Amazing campsite and really attentive caring staff all round .
