  • Relaxed family-run campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Goudhurst in Kent
  • Sissinghurst Castle Garden 20 minutes’ drive; Camber Sands 40 minutes
  • Dog-friendly rural location with pick-your-own grass pitches
Family-run for families, T&J Campsite sits on the Kent and Sussex border in 13 acres of dog-friendly fields and woodland. The place has a relaxed vibe about it too; with no set pitches you can set up wherever you fancy in the level camping meadows, while open fires (logs are sold at reception) and barbecues are positively encouraged so you get the full-blown camping-under-the-stars experience. Amenities stretch to a shower block with an outdoor washing-up station and laundry facilities. You can walk your four-legged friends among the trees that surround the site, keep younger kids occupied with running around at the playground, and treat all well-behaved offspring to ice cream from the truck that turns up from time to time. The site is 10 minutes’ drive from tea rooms and pubs in Goudhurst, where you can also restock essentials at a couple of convenience stores. Set out on foot and it will take around half an hour to reach Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest for woodland strolls, or head for Bewl Water Aqua Park (five minutes’ drive) to mess around on floating obstacle courses and paddleboards. Hopping in the car soon has you chilling on the extensive beach at Camber Sands (40 minutes) too.
