Camping overlooking St Andrews Lakes
St andrews lakes, halling, kent.
Kayaks, paddleboards, pedalos and bell boats to rent
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

Beautiful lake views and activities abound. Pitches are well-kept with fire pits. Staff are friendly. Facilities are clean. However, lake activities and beach access are pricey, and shower facilities are limited.

Lake View FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked Absolutely beautiful, we only live 15 mins away but have booked to stay another 3 times. Feels like your abroad, we took advantage of the £20 bring your own per pitch and paddle boarded as much as we could. The staff are all so friendly, food was lovely in the cafe and pizza place. Toilets always clean and smelling nice. Lots of security and life guards so always felt safe. Highly recommend

Hedge Row FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked Very good
Feel for people with young kids very expensive
Loved the open water swimming

Disliked I did zip wire was very good but £40 is a lot of money
My kids joined us on the Saturday if the zip wires had been cheaper they would have all done it
So you missed out on 6 more people doing it because of price
£40 for pedelo stupid money
£18 for 2 year olds to go into water blow up
And £30 adult on beach far too expensive for family’s
That is prob why people are not going any more which is a shame
Because it’s so good x

Liked The amount of activity’s there was. How helpful and friendly the staff was .
The cleanliness of the site .
How peaceful the site was in the mornings and late evenings.

Disliked The shower although very clean . It had very poor pressure and couldn’t regulate the temperature. Which made showering very difficult

Patrick M.

Lake View FHU gravel RV campsite

Liked The set up for camper van was really good, we had a lake view, but was really a "canvas tent view" as we was behind the wellness center and didn't see it much water.

The facilities for the camper area was really good toilets and shower was spotless, only 5 pitches taken up so wasnt busy.

The stone pitches where really well maintained, they have a log burner but the logs in the shop where £15!
Each plot has a picnic table which was really handy.

Felt really safe as the site has security.

A tesco is a 2 min drive in case you forget milk!

Disliked This isn't really a compliment regarding my booking, but the activities at the center where so expensive, the.beach area for a family of 4 would cost £75, this is literally for a lounger, don't get me wrong it looked really good, but way to expensive.
The pedalo was £40 for an hour which is expensive.

Please don't let that put you off, if your only camping then the site is fantastic.

From the manager: Thank you so much for the review, Patrick! We couldn’t agree more – our venue truly is something special. While quality often comes at a price, we believe it’s well worth it. We hope you’ll join us again soon to experience more of the activities we have to offer!

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.
