Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great site with a good choice area to pitch. Well organized with trolly's for ease to unload at the car park. Beautifully kept and exceptionally clean on site, the toilets, showers and all facilities were tip top. Easy journey via Crab and Winkle path to Whitstable led to a terrific fish lunch at the harbour. Fire pit worked well and we reserved logs at the site, in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable visit and will definitely be back.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Well kept site, clean and nice hot shower with a view 😁. Parking was close by, Alex was friendly and helpful. The field was mowed except for some wild flower area. The birdsong is amazing you wouldn't know you were a couple of miles from Canterbury and Whitstable. Nice touches with the badminton net and viewing platform. Very peaceful. Thanks ..will be back. (to stay in a shepards hut next time!)

Disliked: Nothing..

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved the extras - badminton nets, tree house, cabin etc. Really close and really lovely little small, friendly site. Would love to stay again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Peaceful field, really clean toilets, nice showers, stargazing deck was lovely. All very natural. Really like that no cars are in the field.

Disliked: The field was really really boggy. Felt slightly cramped. There aren't any bins on site which was slightly difficult as we were bike packing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, clean facilities, and stargazing deck. We are a non-bin site, as stated online, in your arrival email and at the site. We were happy to be busy this bank holiday, and yes we too are sad about all the rain that came Saturday. Best wishes Alex

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet, back to basics site in a great location. We didn’t make use of it but the communal fire pit was a lovely idea.

Disliked: All the recent rain meant that the site was very boggy and muddy which limited the options of where we could pitch our tent. Not a huge problem for us as we were first to arrive and it wasn’t busy.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The setting is peaceful, the facilities are great. We especially appreciated the clean toilets, the viewing platform, and the cosy children's library. It's great that this is possible to book for just 1 night. We're definitely coming back.

Disliked: The Pitchup page says that coal must be purchased on site, but it turned out that charcoal wasn't available. We had to make an extra trip to the shop to fuel our BBQ.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay at our campground. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and thrilled to know that you're planning to return. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced with the availability of charcoal during your stay. We will take immediate steps to ensure that we stock up on charcoal for the future, making it more convenient for you and our guests. Your comfort and satisfaction are important to us. Best wishes Alex

Local attractions

Well, the coast is certainly calling here. With a shingle shore, Tankerton beach (15 minutes’ drive) has plenty of opportunities to dip your feet into seaside sport, whether it's swimming or sailing. Boat trips and kayak hire are just some of the hobbies down in Whitstable too… and you'll likely be happy to see seafood restaurants lying in wait for your return to the shore afterwards. Once you’ve ticked off the pebble cove at Herne Bay beach (20 minutes), perhaps you’ll want to turn your attention to the city… there’s a reason Canterbury (15 minutes) is classed a UNESCO World Heritage City, as the cathedral and medieval Canterbury tales attraction are some of its crowning sights. For another historical call-in, there’s the Saxon St Cosmas & St Damian's Church (half an hour) but for wildlife, Druidstone Park’s wildlife park (five minutes) or the sensory Wildart Trail (10 minutes) might be some prime places. As for those of you who aren’t done with your cycling for the day after going all the way to Whitstable, there’s the Crab And Winkle Way (15 minutes) or trails around the Blean Woods National Nature Reserve (20 minutes).
