  • Quiet adults-only site in the Kent Downs National Landscape
  • North Downs Way 10 minutes’ walk; Folkestone 20 minutes’ drive
  • Three pubs, a vineyard and fishing lake all within walking distance
If you like to be surrounded by stunning natural views, then family-run Horton View Farm is the place for you. Five minutes’ drive away from the Kent villages of Stowting and Brabourne, this adults-only site is set on a quiet lane with views across to the hills and valleys of the Kent Downs National Landscape. There are scenic walks from the gate of the camping meadow, as well as spectacular sunrises and sunsets and dark skies filled with shimmering stars on clear nights. Approached by neatly mown paths through the wild meadow, each tent has its own firepit, and logs are available to purchase from the site. It’s mostly off-grid (so bring your own torches), but it does have flushing toilets and hot showers, a fridge and a freezer for guests to use, and an open barn with a social area where you can relax and take in the stunning landscape. A vineyard, several pubs and a fishing lake are within half an hour’s walk of the site along quiet lanes and footpaths, so leave the car behind if you choose. The very nearest pub is just five minutes’ stroll away, and if good local produce is your thing, there are exceptional farm shops, bakeries and farmers’ markets throughout the area.

What customers say

This adults-only park offers a peaceful escape with beautiful country views, especially at sunset. Guests love the spotless facilities, spacious showers, and well-equipped barn. Hosts Jo and Dave are consistently praised for their welcoming nature. Close to pubs and trails, it's a quiet spot (bring a mallet for hard ground!).

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked We had the most incredible three-night stay at Horton View Farm in our TentBox, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better campsite.

The site was absolutely spotless and beautifully maintained. The facilities were clean, modern and completely on point — everything you could want for a comfortable camping stay.

The owners were so friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful. They were full of great advice about the local area, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

And the location… just beautiful. Peaceful, gorgeous surroundings and some absolutely amazing sunsets. It was the perfect place to switch off, relax and enjoy being outdoors.

We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning. A real gem of a campsite and one we’d happily recommend to anyone looking for a lovely, well-kept and welcoming place to stay. ❤️⛺️🌅

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Wow wow wow! We absolutely loved our 2 night stay here this weekend. The whole site is incredibly thought through. The barn offers a fridge & freezer as well as a charging point and benches which can be used if you forget your camp chairs like we did!
The showers and toilet cubicles are lovely - so clean and plenty of hooks to hang things. Usually we come home from a camping trip desperate for a decent shower but not this time.
The owners were so welcoming and we were able to purchase logs.
The campsite is also in a great location with walks on your door and beautiful sunsets. We went to Hythe which is only a 15 minute drive and had a lovely beach day. We will 100% revisit.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fabulous review Rianna and your kind comments about our site. It's great to hear you appreciated the shower facilities so much, and you enjoyed the walks and sunsets. Sorry to hear you forgot your chairs! We could have lent you some if we'd known!! We look forward to having you back.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Fantastic location. Nice and quiet which is what we wanted. Jo and Dave were really accommodating and you could tell they had a passion for what they do. The place was very clean. Really open space in front of pitches. Beautiful sunsets….
Pitches were a bit close together. But can’t be helped…
Had a fridge, a plug to charge phones and a kettle which I used… Would definitely return.

Liked We just got home from an amazing few days here. Dave and Jo were both friendly and accommodating. The views were stunning, it was so relaxing listening to the sound of sheep and birds. The toilets and showers were so incredibly clean. The site felt spacious and safe. The sunset of an evening was lovely. We visited Hythe beach around 15 minutes away and the Tiger Inn (also loved it here) a few minutes drive away. We are already looking to book for next year!

Disliked Nothing at all

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review Sophie, we're so happy to hear you had a lovely time, and you enjoyed the surrounding area - and The Tiger - we love it there too! Looking forward to having you back next year.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Stunning location, pitches thoughtfully places, helpful hosts and above all it was so peaceful

Disliked The carpark is a work in progress, but lots of space.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank so much for your lovely review Alan, we're so glad to hear that you and Liz enjoyed your stay. I hope your long journey home all went smoothly. We didn't anticipate the effect the prolonged period of hot weather would have on the car park surface and we absolutely agree that it needs to be improved. Rest assured we are working on it!
We hope to see you again.

Liked Everything! Peaceful, beautiful, really well maintained and a great host. Lovely part of the country and three pubs within walking distance - what's not to like!

Disliked Only wish we could have stayed longer. Slightly tricky entrance might cause problems for larger vans but ours is a tiddler.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review Morgan we're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the fab local pubs. Yes, you're absolutely right about the access for the vans, so we do limit van size to no larger than swb VW size.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Super clean adult only (2 person per pitch) site. Had a lovely 5 nights stay here pitches are a good size and nice that they are separated by long grass. Able to have a campfire when the weather permitted, we liked sitting in the communal barn having a drink and playing a board game that the owners have kindly left in there.

Lovely pub 4 min walk. Also took out bikes and rode to one of the other pubs and the vineyard.

The owners are lovely, gave us a good tip on free parking in Folkestone. Also available to assist but never intrusive.

We will definitely be visiting again, this is a lovely peaceful site.
