Kent's largest inflatable aqua park

  • Lakeside Kent motorhome pitches five minutes’ drive from Halling
  • Rochester 20 minutes’ drive, and Leeds Castle 25 minutes
  • Watersports hub in a former chalk quarry; café and takeaway on site
Looking for loads of family fun and sporty activities on hand during your break? You’ve struck gold with St Andrews Lakes, tucked away in the Kent countryside 45 minutes’ drive from central London and five minutes from the village of Halling. Here hardstanding motorhome pitches overlook a freshwater lake in a former quarry that’s been painstakingly transformed into a watersports hub (opening times vary depending upon the season and day of the week). There’s loads of choice here for activities – from open-water swimming to paddleboard and pedalo rental or dinghy sailing – and you can also sign up for a runaround on the lake's inflatable aqua park (closed between October and April). Then, when it’s time to rest up, you can retreat to the spa and wellness centre. There’s a beach too, if you’d prefer to find somewhere to snooze on the sand instead of playing around in the water all day. Please note that there's an extra charge for all activities, and advance booking is essential in peak season. Everything has been thought of to make your stay as easy as possible: there’s a watersports shop (rental is available too) on site, as well as an ‘inflation station’ to take the hard work out of pumping up your paddleboard. No need to worry about catering for your sports-mad kin either, as there’s a beach café serving drinks and homemade snacks, as well as a takeaway pizza service to keep you refuelled for your next sporting activity. And the pitches are pretty handy too: each has an electric hook-up as well as a picnic bench and chiminea for alfresco dining.

What customers say

St. Andrews Lakes boasts a beautiful setting with ample activities, especially water sports. Well-equipped sites offer water, electricity, picnic tables, and fire pits. Staff are consistently friendly and helpful. Facilities like restrooms and showers are generally very clean and well-maintained. Some guests found activities and beach access pricey, with spotty Wi-Fi. Limited local amenities were also noted.

Liked Out of season stay. Called to see if they would take our 7.4m MH. Due to season they accepted us. Staff helpful. Excellant clean facilities. Electricity and water on each pitch and quiet. Satellite TV reception and wifi good. Water sport activities, cafe, wellness centre available. Perfect for visits to Rochester and Chatham.

FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked Love the location, within an hour's drive for us- super close to little Tesco's not far from local towns.
Lot to do on site for example cafe, water sports, shop.

We have stayed here before and wanted to return so this is our second visit.

Lake is pretty

Facilities are always super clean

Disliked Not really sure you can call it lake view as there is a hut blocking the view from the pitch.

Feel like the campsite part is a bit of an after thought, left a little bit untidy around the pitches especially around the ones that have been there for some time.

Long list of rules that are not adhered to- The site is not dog friendly so we have to arrange a sitter for ours when we want to come only to arrive and be greeted by an off the lead dog (great as we love dogs) but knowing we had to leave ours at home but others can bring theirs and have it running around off leash is disappointing there was also dog poo on our pitch that we had to clear before setting up.

Nicole N.

Hedge Row FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked I thoroughly enjoyed my full moon paddle, sleepover’ and following day paddle board jaunt! I have stayed at the campsite often and I go paddle boarding there even more often!!
The staff are always friendly, polite and very helpful! A visit here never fails to take me away from any outside stress! The shower was good - although only one for around ten pitches - thankfully, I’ve never had to wait. The toilets were clean. Each pitch has a solid camping table, cold water tap and fire pit! Fab!!!

Take note; unless planning to spend time on an onsite activity, there is nothing locally to do or visit unless prepared to drive - also no dogs allowed to camp 😢

Disliked Please stop raising the prices on activities and camping so radically - an example of this was this weekend when camping went from £25 per night to jump to £35?
Sadly, this increase will force me to reduce my visits….

From the manager: Thanks so much for the review and feedback! Glad to hear you had a great time.

Local attractions

If you can drag everybody away from the lake, there’s lots of heritage stuff to see in this corner of Kent. Historic Rochester (20 minutes’ drive) has a stately Norman castle and a Gothic-era cathedral to explore, while neighbouring Chatham (half an hour) showcases centuries of naval history at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, where you can tour the World War II destroyer HMS Cavalier and the Cold War-era submarine HMS Ocelot. The spectacular moated Leeds Castle (25 minutes) has enough craft workshops, museums, events and sculpture trails to keep the family busy all day. However, should the siren call of culture start to wane with the kids, take them to Diggerland Kent (10 minutes) for some time moving earthworks and shifting soil around on JCBs. No need to panic if it rains either, as you can divert to the bowling lanes at Hollywood Bowl Rochester (10 minutes). If you’d care to wander further afield, London sights like Greenwich Palace, The Prime Meridian and the National Maritime Museum can be reached in less than an hour’s drive.
