From the manager: I am perplexed why you will not visit again but would recommend us as you did not voice any concerns or issues whilst you were here either by coming into the office (about 80 yards away from where you were camped) or call us on our out of hours mobile.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: The space, the views, each pitch had electric, water and grey waste. Clean shower block, helpful staff.

Disliked: Grass clippings weren’t collected so made for a messy caravan as it was wet

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us. It is recommended and healthier for the ground and environment to leave grass cuttings. I can however empathise with you on the mess being brought into your caravan as I too live on site in a caravan. We hope to see you again soon.

An excellent site which could not be faulted. Great staff on site.

Powered grass site

Liked: Really lovely campsite large area to set up toilets and showers ultra clean and plenty ⭐️

Disliked: Could do with a shelf in shower cubicle maybe a fold away one to save space

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us. If we were to have shelving in shower cubicles it would be too difficult to keep the hygiene and cleanliness to a high standard as they are only cleaned 2 or 3 times daily. Adding additional cleans or a longer length of cleaning could be disruptive to guests trying to use the facilities. We look forward to your next visit.

Local attractions

Once the kids let you off site, Kent (aka The Garden of England) has beaches, historic towns, forests and more castles, stately homes (and gardens) open to the public than anywhere else in the country. If this isn't enough, Paddock Wood railway station is five minutes’ drive from The Hop Farm for a train to London, less than an hour away. Dover is within 60 miles for a day trip to France. Kent has 350 miles of coastline, with Blue Flag beaches, watersports and those famous white cliffs at Dover. Eight of the 11 Blue Flaggers are in Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs; Whitstable and Herne Bay are also popular with oyster eaters, anglers and jetskiers. There are umpteen options for families in the area including play centres, farms, horse riding and days out. Howletts Wild Animal Park at Canterbury has the biggest group of looked-after gorillas in the world and experiences for visitors such as junior ranger days. Penshurst Place and Gardens has historical re-enactments, children’s trails, an adventure playground and special events during the school holidays. Both Leeds Castle at Maidstone and Hever Castle near Edenbridge are family-friendly and packed with activities and events. There’s a Go Ape! at Leeds Castle as well as two mazes, boat trips, falconry displays, underground grotto and the Knights' Realm Playground, a scale model of the castle (and a golf course and golf instruction for the grownups). Hever, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, has a yew maze and water maze, award-winning gardens and a topiary. Back with the big folk, the old market towns of Tonbridge, Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Wells are close by for shopping and sightseeing. Bluewater shopping centre is in Greenhithe (rival Lakewater is just over the Essex border at West Thurrock).
