What customers say
Huge, tidy site with friendly staff & lots of space. Close to River Medway for water fun/walks. Facilities mostly clean, though can be basic/need more cleaning when busy. Electric spots are close; some road noise. Good privacy, many plan to return.

Thank you, lovely stay
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Nice quiet site, good facilities, easy check in, plenty of space to spread out, nice little seafood place on site. Have been before and will be back. We like coming on weekends when there's a bootfair happening. Unfortunately wasn't one the weekend we went but were aware of this and had a lovely time regardless.

Liked Relaxed atmosphere. Close to Brewer’s Fayre.
Disliked Long grass, should have been mown l…my grandchildren wanted to play badminton and football etc. but their shoes and socks got soaking wet. I couldn’t dry them so had to go and buy more! Wasn’t a cheap site so I think at least they could have mown the grass.

Good site - just a couple of minor niggles.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Well run, attractive site. Facilities acceptable. Responded to our request for a quiet pitch (thank you!)
Disliked Saturday night it was a bit busier but only the smaller facilities block was open. Chemical waste disposal smelt badly.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review.
We had just over 30 pitches staying and decided to have the newer, better toilet/shower block open which can become busy if everyone wants to use them at the same time.
Apologies for the chemical waste disposal smell, this gets checked and emptied on a Thursday during the quiet season.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
Really lovely

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked I had my wedding next door at the shires oast, so I used little bell tent Hotel to pitch me 6 tents and I brought my motorhome and a few others pitched their own tents. We had two night here, first night campfire and second was the wedding next door and both was amazing! Sue in the office was amazing from booking start to finish. She has been helpful with putting my our separate bookings together and my constant emails getting it all sorted! Would highly recommend!
