The Hop Farm

Liked That it wasn’t too far from lots of national trust places. Close to the beefeater and although this was ok, it’s very tired outside and lots of the seating areas were unusable but food and drink prices as expected.
Lots of toilets and shower facilities.

Disliked The lack of things to do for the children. We knew the hop farm park was closed as it states it on the booking however, there is no additional play area for the children and they are unable to go into the water due to blue algae (obviously not the campsites fault). Pitches for electric hook up are close together and not very big. Shop didn’t stock any of the things we needed during our stay.

Liked Love the open space have been to hop farm a number of time over the years its a great campsite. The lovely the ladies at reception are amazing and very helpful so much open space to choose from when not on electric we had such a perfect holiday even debated staying longer but other factors stopped us but we will be back next year no doubt about it.

Disliked Disliked people camping at entrances to the river make it harder for other people to use them.

Liked Very spacious, plenty of room on the pitch. Easy access to the bus stop and train station. Buses into Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells every hour.

Disliked Not a problem for me, but where we were parked people tended to walk through our pitch to gain access to the facilities, even though clear pathways are available. This may annoy some people.

Liked Sehr schöner, ruhiger und gemütlicher Campingplatz. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Dusche, Toiletten, Abwasser…
Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Waren mit unsren zwei Kids dort. Die haben sich auch gleich wohl gefühlt. Zum Zug sind es ca. 15Min. und dann noch ca. 60 Minuten nach London. Entspannt und nicht zu voll. Leeds castle ist auch nicht weit weg. Mit Wohnmobil kann man dort super parken. Sehr schönes Schloss, sowohl innen als auch außen. Außen gibt es auch einen großen Spielplatz für Kinder und der Irrgarten ist auch top. Kent ist ein ruhiger uriger Ort. Sehr schönes Plätzchen.

We do provide toilets and showers within the stipulations set out by the campsite regulations, however I can understand there being frustration if the majority of guests want to use them at the same time and due to the infrastructure there is nowhere else to add any more.
.We look forward to welcoming you again.

Liked This is a massive campsite! Lots of lovely level ground to park on, nice to have woods around the fields.

Disliked There were 2 large groups, I guess the downside of being such a massive campsite, it attracts large groups. One was a group of 20, another was a group of 30. We tried to camp away from them, but dependent on wind direction, the noise carries. One of the groups decided it was a good idea to sing (shout is probably a better description) till gone midnight. Not a reflection on campsite management as they do request no large groups I believe.

I am sorry you had to listen to some loud singing, was it also out of key?
When people book their own pitch we are not aware they are a group until we check the fields after they have already set up and it is usually in one of the most popular fields.
Hopefully there will be no large groups next time you stay.

Liked The lady on reception was so kind and helpful. She allowed us to arrive early to kayak and answered all of our questions. So nice to go to a more relaxed campsite where you feel you can relax without being stifled my rules. We’ve been coming here for over 10 years with the kids, friends & family. It’s always a good choice.

Plenty of space and clean shower blocks.

Great value and add such as as an extra person or car were reasonable.

We enjoyed kayaking to the Boathouse Pub at Yalding. A lovely pub on the river with delicious food.

There is no Wi-Fi on site and mobile signal depends on which network you are on and whether you are in a far out field.
We look forward to your next visit.
