  • Off-grid farm site outside Eastchurch on the Isle of Sheppey
  • Views over the Thames Estuary and a 10-minute drive from beaches
  • Meet the farm animals on site and buy free-range eggs for breakfast
Cooking up a few fresh free-range eggs for a cracking Kent coastal breakfast? What a way to start the day. That terrific view out over the Thames Estuary isn’t the only option as breakfast backdrop for guests at Clifftop Camping though. Pitches at this scenic Isle of Sheppey farm site are sorted on a pick-your-own basis, so you’re welcome to meander around the meadow, woodland and pond areas too before selecting a spot in which to settle. And those eggs? Well, they’re from the hens that reside on this working farm. You can buy their offerings while you’re staying here, and meet their pals too: the current roster includes sheep, goats, horses, ponies, ducks and rheas. This is an off-grid site so you’ll need to step away from the gadgets – but sea views trump screen time anyway, eh?. It’s also pretty stripped-back on the facilities front, but there is one compost toilet and one tented chemical toilet, and you can access water in the farmyard. For eats and supplies, a couple of pubs and shops are a mile away in Eastchurch; bigger supermarkets, restaurants and the like are 10 minutes’ drive away in Sheerness. Ins and outs should be fairly easy here, as you’re only around a 20-minute drive from the M2 and an hour or so from London. If you’d rather roam on public transport, there’s a bus connection to Eastchurch from Sheerness station.

What customers say

Stunning clifftop views, ample space, and a peaceful vibe get high marks. Owners are super friendly. Basic facilities (composting toilet, water) are great for off-grid fans. Some found it pricey for what's offered; occasional noise from others was a minor issue. Overall, a great spot many want to revisit.

Ben H.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved the remote location and quietness.
We were the only ones there midweek.

Also like the wildness of it, nice to have choice of where to pitch, on clifftop or in woods.

Arrived late so didn’t get a proper look round but will do next time

Facilities are basic, just a toilet and a tap. Perfect for escaping the modern world and spending time

Disliked A bit of litter here and there left by previous groups. Must be hard to monitor such a large wooded area (100 acres), so this is no reflection on the owners.

Toilets where clean and well kept, maintained camp area.

Liked I stayed for one night, and couldn't get to the campsite until half past midnight. Catherine was very accommodating and let me know how to get in without disturbing anyone. Once the sun had risen, the view was incredible. Definitely recommend staying here!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The view was amazing, could easily spend days just watching the world go by. The facilities (very clean and well maintained composting toilet, and nearby water tap) were just right to be comfortable but not ruin the off-grid experience. The size of the land means you can find any type of space you want, by the water, by the pond, deep in the middle of the woods, and anything in between! Loved our two night stay and would happily come back again.

Carolyn R.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We were warmly welcomed on our arrival & found a beautiful spot on the cliff face outlooking the ocean. Our stay was blissfully restful, stunning & peaceful. With so much land, we took several walks & totally enjoyed the nature around us. Drinking water was available close to us. Thank you to the owners who shared some lovely stories with us too.

Disliked Facilities were basic (but we were made aware of this on website)

Local attractions

If you’ve picked a place called Clifftop Camping it’s highly likely you’ll be after a bit of coast action. The quickest way to get it is to clamber down the cliffs (easier than it might sound; no abseiling needed) for a quiet little beach with some fab sea fishing to be done. Other options nearby include Minster Leas beach (10 minutes’ drive) and Shellness beach (20 minutes), where there's also a naturist area for folk seeking a skinny dip. Active types are well sorted for things to keep them busy too: saddle up at the stables five minutes away, tee off at Sheerness Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive) or breeze over to Barton's Point Coastal Park (10 minutes) for a nature trail, adventure playground and watersports. For a nod to travels of the past, it’s off to Eastchurch Aviation Museum (five minutes) or a narrow-gauge ride on the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway (20 minutes). Doddington Place Gardens are just over half an hour away if you’re more interested in gentle wanderings.
