Welsummer Camping

No availability at present on Pitchup.com

Large pitch set under the eucalyptus tree just across the hedge from the bell tent meadow

Small, peaceful family-run site among Kent woodlands and orchards
Leeds castle 10 minutes' drive; 40 minutes to Kent coast
Eco-friendly site with bar area and picnic tables; campfires permitted

To the Kent countryside – and make it quick… About 10 minutes' drive from Harrietsham, Welsummer Camping is a properly rural location – but it's also only a short drive from the M20, making it a particularly fine spot for those seeking an easy escape from London. Frazzled capital-dweller or not, you'll be most welcome at this intimate family-run site where you can relax among woodland, orchards and herb gardens. It’s all about wandering in the woods, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere and spending the evening by the campfire (firewood is sold on site; please don't collect your own in the woods). The owners are keen to preserve the natural environment here, so everything is run on sustainable principles. Water for showers and sinks is heated by a woodburning stove (using locally sourced wood) and you'll be asked to sort your waste and generally respect the setting. Many of the essentials for a comfortable break are provided – the site has picnic tables for your meals and (perhaps more importantly) a bar area serving hot and cold drinks. All in all, this is a lovely setting for a chilled-out break – and a fine base for exploring this part of Kent, too. Walkers can start by following local footpaths to the Greensand Ridge, and then set off to roam around the Kent Downs National Landscape. Leeds Castle is 10 minutes' drive away for a fabulous family day out, and there are plenty more things to do nearby, from gardens and a goat sanctuary to the excellent beaches of the Kent coast.
