Quiet site in the Kent Downs, a 15-minute drive from Faversham
Leeds Castle 20 minutes’ drive; Canterbury and Whitstable half an hour
Hot showers powered by solar panels, charging points for electric cars

If you’re in charge of organising the family rally this year, you might want to consider booking at Palace Farm Campsite, in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll be staying on a large field in the village of Doddington, with rural views all around – yet only a 15-minute drive from the towns of Sittingbourne and Faversham. If you value your peace, you’ll be glad to hear that this is a quiet site after 10pm. Please note that this is strictly enforced – when it comes to guests, at least. There are no measures in place to keep woodpeckers, owls and pheasants from lulling you to sleep with their songs and hoots. You can explore the local area on foot or by bike (the owners will be happy to point you to the best paths and bridleways), stopping at a traditional country pub for a few ales. Alternatively, you can tee off at Faversham Golf Club or fish at the Willows Angling Centre, and there is a swimming pool in Faversham to keep the kids occupied on rainy days (all 15 minutes’ drive). Canterbury is half an hour away and well worth a visit for its spectacular medieval cathedral. Well equipped and environmentally conscious, the site has solar panels creating hot water for the showers and washing-up sinks; there are flushing toilets and a parent-and-baby washroom, plus recycling points and charging points for electric cars. The nearest farm shop is a mere seven-minute walk away.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked My husband was a way so I booked a last min 1 night for me, my 12year old son and dog. I booked an hour before we turned up.
Easy to find, perfect location with a lovely pub with a garden 10mins walk down the road, food was beautiful.
The site is basic but perfect, lovely big field with loads of space and big empty fields surrounding for the dog to run around.
We were lucky to have some friendly families opposite who welcomed my son to play cricket and football, they had plenty of space.
We all slept well.
Really cheap compared to some sites!

Disliked Disliked
We were looking forward to hiring a firepit to toast marshmellows, but as the ground was too dry they were not allowed.
Completely understand and agree safety comes first, so not a criticism but the only negative I could find.

Lovely people, peace & quiet lovely facilities and views.…

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Peaceful and clean

Disliked Not much walk way to explore

From the manager: Rebecca, so sorry you didn't like our campsite, many of our campers love it and give some very high scores. This just wasn't the campsite for you. We are a campsite and not a holiday park so we don't provide any activities. we do have maps with a wide range of recommended walks which have been tried and tested many times by our guests. You can either take a photo of a map or I can send you the GPX file for you to download and use it on your GPS or phone. We hope you have many more weekends away camping, thanks for giving us a try.

Lovely quiet site, with plenty space and good facilities.

Local attractions

If you’ve ever considered making your own beer at home, you might want to take a tour of Shepherd Neame (15 minutes’ drive), Britain’s oldest brewery. You’ll learn all about the ingredients needed to craft a fine beer, from water to malted barley and hops, and take part in a guided tasting of Kentish ales and lagers. There’s heaps to do for the whole family at Leeds Castle (20 minutes). While the adults swoon over the glamorous 1930s decor in the castle itself, the kids can climb, slide and jump at the adventure playground or get lost (and then, hopefully, found) in the maze. There is also a Go Ape Tree Top Challenge with ziplines and hanging bridges, plus falconry displays. Fancy a day at the seaside? Whitstable (half an hour) has wide pebbly beaches, a working harbour where you can sample freshly shucked oysters, and a promenade for walking and cycling that goes past the Tankerton Slopes (with their colourful beach huts) and all the way to a skate park.
