Stephen C.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked A hidden gem in the Kent countryside. The welcoming owners keep the site immaculate and make every guest feel at home. The fishing lake is beautifully maintained and well-stocked, ideal for beginners and seasoned anglers alike. Spacious pitches and peaceful surroundings make it perfect for relaxing. Whether you’re here to fish or unwind, you’ll leave refreshed and eager to return.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the excellent review, I enjoyed your visit as we swopped stories, you had some nice fish too.
Look forward to your return visit soon, I hope,
All the best
Stuart.

Ara J.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked Stuart and Margaret were lovely hosts and were so helpful, we really appreciated their flexibility when we needed to change dates pretty last minute. They also provided us chairs which was nice for our 3 night stay. Campsite was peaceful and well located, we managed to walk there easily. Toilets were clean and pitch was perfect.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay and we see you soon, good luck to you both at university and euro trip.

Local attractions

There's a reason Kent is known as the 'Garden of England', you know: this part of the world is home to well-kept man-made landscapes and vistas of rolling farmland. Fans of the former may well appreciate teeing off at the local golf club (10 minutes' drive) or heading down to the Royal Military Canal (10 minutes) for bike rides along the water's edge. Rural ramblers, meanwhile, should check out the four-mile Wye Downs circular walk (25 minutes). If you'd like to make friends with some cute farm animals on your rural break, pay a visit to the Rare Breeds Centre (10 minutes). Meanwhile, for a sense of the area's history, stop by at stunning Bodiam Castle (30 minutes) – a proper castle, with a moat to cross and everything. Like to be beside the seaside? Dungeness' marshland landscape is home to abundant birdlife (pack your binoculars and head to the RSPB reserve to find out more), as well as an old lighthouse and the largest shingle beach in Europe (25 minutes). Head to the two genteel towns of Rye and Winchelsea, meanwhile, for castle ruins, independent book shops and vineyards, or scamper over to the dunes at Camber Sands (all around half an hour's drive).
