Liked: There was so much space and choice as to where we could pitch up. The toilets and showers were some of the cleanest I've seen and the staff were really friendly. The pitches backed onto country footpaths which were ideal for when we wanted to go for a scenic walk.
Disliked: Nothing I disliked.

Liked: Beautiful fields with lots of lovely walks along river Medway, tyre swing for kids and plenty of toilets and showers in the block.
Disliked: The showers in the block which was closed looked better as they had shower curtain to stop towel getting wet while showering!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you will visit again. We have the smaller block open when there are only a few guests on site due to only having 3 showers when extremely busy we have both blocks open. We look forward to your next visit.

Liked: Love the site. Is a lovely clean site. Very helpful ladies as you check in.
Disliked: The fact that the hop farm itself is closed. But not their fault but also that there isn't any toilets closer so quite a walk but lots of toilets

Liked: This was my first Mother and daughter camping trip with my 11 year old. The amazing ladies on the front desk made us feel so welcome and safe. I had paid for a non electric tent pitch but they offered me an electric pitch as we were on our own and these were closer to the toilets and better lit at night. They informed us of an amazing local cafe on the water to have breakfast and the closest place to pick up anything we may have needed. We had a brilliant few days at Hop Farm, kids happily playing out on the grass was lovely to see. Thank you so much to the amazing staff that made our trip so fab. We will definitely be back again!!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!
