Liked: Maggie was amazing!! The camp was clean and pet friendly. Facilities were clean too! Maggie kept on top of all of this. Will definitely be back! So good to have electric and showers and toilets all on 1 campsite. Can not thank maggie enough for keep supplying us with wood and giving us the burner to use too. She was fantastic!!
Disliked: My 2 nights were over and I had to leave. Wish I could have stayed!

Liked: We loved Maggie, she could not do enough for us. She was accommodating, greeted us on arrival and even waved us off. The site is smaller than other places we have camped but it was really nice. The facilities are basic but they are cleaned throughout the day. The kids area is great as it can be seen from all pitches.
Disliked: The only dislike we had was that there isn’t easy access to take your dog for a walk. Various people, including ourselves were shouted at by the farmer for walking in an area that did not have a “no entry” sign.

Liked: We had a lovely stay at Chaucer Farm. Close to Canterbury and lots of country walks and only a short drive to the beach. Facilities were clean and Maggie the camp manager checked in with us each morning. We were given fresh farm eggs on arrival and a fire pit was available to use.

Liked: Very warm welcome from Maggie who gave me a firepit and a chair (and logs for a decent price). The campground was pleasant and well-maintained with good access to the bus to Canterbury, Sturry and Herne Bay. Shower/toilet facilities are basic but clean and well-looked after. My booking was very cheap - excellent value for money! Would definitely come back again and recommend to others.
Disliked: Moderate point only the camp ground is located next to a road which does occasionally have loud vehicles going alongside. But they are not too frequent and the noise is not too severe.
